What is your go-to platform for Otome CDs, and why?

★Q1★
What's your main platform, and why?

★Q2★
Do you use just one platform, or do you use multiple platforms?

★Q3★
For those who use Pokedora, StellaPlayer, FANZA etc —how is the overall user experience and campaign/sales on those sites?


I imagine many people use DLsite, but I'm interested in other platforms because there are bonus items and titles available exclusively on them.

I only use DLsite, but sometimes I find myself more interested in the bonus content offered on a different platform for a title I like.

I think the people who collect all the bonus CDs are amazing.
I offer my heartfelt respect for their love and dedication.

I hope to use LoveCul aka Fanza at some point which will make it easy to move around since the files can be downloaded instead of streaming it on the browser.

DLsite is where I have most of my purchases and it doesn't help that they have a lot of exclusives for my fave voice actor

As far as I know, you should be able to download files on Dlsite as well by clicking "Download" button and then "Download onto your device."
Or is there some other problem preventing you from downloading files?

Some creators/companies on DLsite only allow streaming them :3 (the option is greyed out in the listing or that there's no download button on the play.dlsite)

I only use Dlsite personally

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that such special cases existed.
If creators are intentionally restricting downloads, it seems similar measures would apply even if the works were sold on other sites.
I'm not sure if this will be helpful, as I tried, it seems possible to download audio from Dlsite player using Chrome add-ons like Video Download Helper and Douga-getter or screen recording software.
I usually use these on Ci-en when there's no download link available.

That's all right - it was only 1 or 2 series out of the many purchases that had this restriction - don't worry about it:)

There used to be a clearer table indicating what device it's available on

example: (download ✖ / streaming on browser 〇 / app only 〇)

But since they moved to promoting DLsound that information kinda went away :(

And yes! I have tried some browser extensions and accidentally installed some with malicious code (thankfully nothing happened but that was nerve-wracking ;;; )

Appreciate your bringing it up - hope it will be useful to others looking for ways to keep a copy of their purchase ^_^
