The question was prompted by some "name your price" Ian William Craig downloads that I'd buy if they came out on CD.
$4 or £3.00 doesn't seem too shoddy.

All the Shinkoyo label back catalogue is NYP right now, including those brilliant Skeletons records.

One thing I don't understand about Bandcamp. Why does anyone pay for any of the music if everything - I ever saw on there - was streamable for free? Just to download the mp3 and have a file on the computer?

to download the MP3 in case it ever goes away, and/or to support the artist

at least once I've streamed something on BC a couple of times and then been informed I couldn't anymore without purchasing the album--not sure how standard that is though

The artist/label can set that, I'm pretty sure.
Also DJs still need downloads, which is why I really like Bandcamp for dance music.

Ok then but what I don't like is that you cannot download single songs (or can you?). On the other hand I like the album approach (in theory). I am torn in between the past and present.

You can! Just click on the track and it should open its own page, with a track-level price.
Although I have seen some jazz artists in particular making power moves where only a couple of the tracks are streaming, and so you have to buy the album to hear the rest.

because they care about the artist

i mean why leave money in the hat of a street performer? you could use that money to pay your comcast bill. im sure they will appreciate it just as much.

BC has lossless album downloads (my preferred listening). I buy an album and support an artist I like rather than giving money to marketers.

I wish Bandcamp would offer Chromecast support. They claimed it was in the offing a couple of years ago but still nothing.
