Now that Cdbaby is gone I'm left with only Bandcamp and 7digital for shopping digital music online.
Any suggestions to expand my options ?

Or popular, but the two places you mentioned are pretty much the only one or two places most of us know/use?

Bandcamp is always my first port of call, and I very rarely buy digital from anywhere else.

↑  So bandcamp it is.
Thanks the same for answering (guess if this were a poll instead I'd have dozens of participants)

Bandcamp is mostly where I purchase digital. You can hunt around for specific artists. I purchase King Crimson and related downloads (FLAC) from dgmlive.com.

It still exists, but no longer as a storefront. Which is a great shame indeed, as there were a lot of bands and artists who sold their material there and nowhere else. While those bands and artists who are still active will no doubt find somewhere else, I suspect a lot of releases from bands and artists that no longer exist may now become impossible to find online. (To purchase legitimately, anyway, as I’m sure everything can still be found to download illegally for those who aren’t worried by such things….)
