"But what I fear is that the streaming era is actually writing the same listening histories for those who can’t be bothered with Intentional listening–all exclusively based on proprietary algorithms that seem like a way to discover music but, in fact, act more like a feedback loop."

The Woes of Being Addicted to Streaming After a decade under the influence of music algorithms, a look at what streaming services afford the most engaged fans and what lingers below the surface.

18 month-old article, but Pocket it threw it at me and it got me thinking, especially because I run a streaming service that tries to counteract a lot of what the big streaming services are doing.

I just found out about #Faircamp, a static site generator for musicians who want to share/sell their music. The link below explains how to set it up. It also gives some other Bandcamp alternatives. Good information to have in case...you know... #bandcamp #alternatives #enshittification

Batchcamp Bulk downloader for your Bandcamp purchases

Also, you might wanna do this:

“Anyone worried about losing their Bandcamp collection might want to try Batchcamp, a Chrome extension for bulk-downloading all of their Bandcamp purchases, before it’s too late.”

One thing that made me go “ick”:

“Songtradr hinted vaguely at the possibility of synergy across the two platforms, noting that Bandcamp artists would be able to license their music to a wide variety of clients ‘increase their earning capacity from Songtradr’s global licensing network.’”

Is Bandcamp as We Know It Over? Following its acquisition by the music licensing company Songtradr, layoffs spell trouble at the beloved online music platform.

Anybody know how to set up an online store for digital downloads? #bandcamp
