Anyone have some good alternatives for downloading loseless and DRM free music from artists?

For Japanese artist I use ototoy.jp but that's a small subset of my library.

Guess I better get what's on my wish list while I can!

The iTunes Store never went away and fits your description.

I was under the impression (perhaps mistaken) that music you purchased in iTunes had to stay in iTunes. Can I take my files where I please or do they have to reside in the Apple walled garden?

I’d been wondering this myself and now suspect I’ve written off Apple too soon. If I buy music from Apple on my iPhone it’s not trapped on Apple devices?

When I first switched to iOS I didn’t see any way to play my music in Apple’s music player and I assumed the door was closed both directions.

How much of my money goes to the artists when I purchase with iTunes Store? If I recall correctly, Bandcamp gives ~80% usually to the artists, except on Bandcamp Fridays when they give ~90% to the artists (waiving their own fee).

iTunes doesn't sell lossless music. You can stream lossless music with Apple Music but you can't buy it.
