You’ve probably noticed by now that we recently added Facebook Like buttons to Bandcamp-powered pages, just beneath the album art. For some (particularly the many who requested it), the reasons for adding Like may be self-evident. However, if you’re wondering why in tarrrrnation the whippersnappers slapped that newfangled gewgaw on yer internet pages, or evenContinue reading “Facebook Like”

By extremely popular demand, you can now go to any album page, click Share, and choose from a few different types of full tracklist embedded players. Like all our players, they’re clean, free of any Bandcamp branding, and streamlined for music listening and purchasing. Here, for example, is grande-with-tracklist (cover art is optional): And here’sContinue reading “Full Tracklist Players, Facebook Love”

Update September 15th, 2010: Please read this. When we first started working on Bandcamp, we wondered whether it might be possible to always provide an unlimited number of “free” downloads* to artists for, well, free. Our hope was that free downloading might be highest amongst the artists who were also selling the most – forContinue reading “Free Downloads & Power-Ups”

…and any other place that doesn’t have Flash, but does support HTML5: (Streaming has actually long worked on the iPad and iPhone, but clicking play launched QuickTime, which always felt clunky. iOS4 lets us do it right inline, like the good lord intended.) Bandcamp’s embedded players (the ones you generate from the Share menu) remainContinue reading “Now Streaming on the iPad, iPhone…”

Not a whole lot more to say than that, except perhaps that it’s long been our most frequently requested enhancement, and it’s now available in your stats section:

You can now present fans with a menu of options, such as t-shirt size or vinyl color, for any given physical package. So, rather than asking a buyer to email you their choice after their purchase, or click “leave note for seller” over on PayPal (both pretty clunky workarounds), the fan’s selection appears in yourContinue reading “Package Options, Multiple Packages Per Album”

You can now let fans name their price for physical packages, but set the minimum to whatever you choose. Just go to your album page, click Edit, and in the package settings choose “let fan name price.” As we’ve mentioned before, name-your-price has proven very successful with digital, so we’re excited to see what happensContinue reading “Name-Your-Price Physical”

Update July 23rd, 2010: Another nice example from Gerry Loves Records: One of the cool things about the new index page and image map features is how they can be used in conjunction with one another to power a label’s music store. Icelandic record label Bedroom Community’s forthcoming site redesign does exactly that: They’ve customizedContinue reading “Label Integration Using the Index, Image Maps and Custom Artist Field”

…could not be a less enticing title, so let’s cut right to the awesome it enables: Those are all just standard Bandcamp-powered sites. The second two use the new image map feature to add site navigation to the custom header. But all three use the new index page feature to display a selection of releasesContinue reading “The Index Page”

Once again to the Bandcamp mailbag: “Is it possible to add html links to the custom header? Right now the whole thing links back to the home page, but wouldn’t it be cool if we could put a few tabs on that bad boy linking to say our blog, or our true home page? ThisContinue reading “Integrating Bandcamp into Your Existing Site (SPOILER ALERT: Image Maps)”
