Introducing Bandcamp Playlists Beta

Bandcamp Playlists (Beta) Are Here
Create playlists from the music you own. Personalize them. Share them.

It’s like a mixtape—but digital, and powered by real support for artists.

More Than Just a Playlist 

Bandcamp Playlists capture the spirit of a mixtape—personal, intentional, and built from music that means something.

Every playlist is crafted from your own collection—tracks you’ve chosen to support.
It’s not passive streaming. It’s real curation, rooted in ownership and connection.

Think of it as a modern mixtape: handmade, shareable, and designed to help others discover the artists you love.


How It Works

  • Create and edit playlists using the Bandcamp mobile app
    Available now on iOS and Android.
    (Web-based editing is coming soon.)
  • Share with a public link
    Fans must be logged in to listen, keeping playlists rooted in real fandom and support.
  • Play limits apply to unowned tracks
    Fans can play tracks they haven’t purchased a limited number of times—three by default, unless the artist sets a different limit. After that, they’ll be prompted to purchase in order to keep listening.

Want to join the beta? 

We’re launching in Beta because we’re still building, but we didn’t want to wait. We want fans to help shape what comes next.

Coming soon:

  • Web-based editing and publishing
  • Track purchase options directly from playlists
  • Playlist following, moderation tools, and improved discoverability

If you have ideas, suggestions, or things you’d love to see, send us your feedback here


What Artists Should Know

Bandcamp playlists are powered by ownership, not passive streaming. Fans can only add tracks to their playlists if they’ve purchased them. Meanwhile, listeners who haven’t purchased your music can only stream it a limited number of times (three by default, unless you’ve set a different cap). After that, they’re directed back to your album page to explore further, make a purchase, and support your work directly.

This is a tool for fans, built with artists in mind.
