There is one aspect of todays systems which this self-hosting method
does not cover at all.  Discoverability.  Related artists,
suggested tracks.  These are pretty valuable since you can pick up new
fans of your work pretty much without having to promote your stuff.
This is one of the main reasons why YouTube alternatives have a very
hard time getting off the ground.

And yes, BandCamp is pretty nice!  I can even stream my BandCamp
collection[1] on my Sonos speakers, which is pretty cool.
