Bandcamp’s appis quite curious.
But it will probably never be able to replace themand that’s just fine.
Band Together
Bandcamp is a store where independent artists can sell their music.

“I think Bandcamp is a great alternative for smaller artists seeking to monetize their work.
Other streaming platforms favor the big stars to the detriment of indie musicians,” says Somosierra.
What Bandcamp is not is a fully-stocked streaming service.

Nor is there any way to pay a fixed monthly subscription fee for unlimited streaming.
It’s a perfect concept.
Your Only App?
Bandcamp is best used in combination with a streaming service.
“What makes the Bandcamp app stand out is that it offers unique content you might’t find anywhere else.
I find it user-friendly and easy to use.

You then combine this with a streaming app for your more mainstream tastes.
Bandcamp is not, as we have said, a replacement for Spotify, etc.
But on the other hand, it could be.
It’s not necessary to have access to all music at all times.
