======Bandcamp======

=====Alternatives=====

Bandcamp got bought by fucking Epic Games, which sucks. And now they've been sold to an even worse company which double-sucks. Place was doomed from the start, but it was cool while it lasted.

I think the best alternative is to just host shit yourself. It's trivial to add audio players to web pages these days, it's a standard part of [[html]], but you need some coding if you want to have a playlist/album and not separate players for each song.

But that's not for everyone, hence why Bandcamp was popular in the first place, 'ey.

Hosting yourself, ranging from example [[javascript]] to [[static site generator]]s:

  * [[https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/|Faircamp]]
  * [[github>thebaer/cdr|CD-R 700mb]]
  * [[https://linkmauve.fr/dev/spiff/|Spiff]]
  * [[https://www.codehim.com/vanilla-javascript/javascript-audio-player-with-playlist/|JavaScript Audio Player with Playlist]]

Templates for hosting music on [[Itch]]. Itch's handy 'cause it handles payments, though they'll probably turn into a Bandcamp one day too. These also might work on your own website:

  * [[github>blackle/blamscamp]]
  * [[github>torcado194/scritch-player]]
  * [[github>fluffy-critter/bandcrash]]

[[fediverse|Decentralised]] alternatives in development, non are currently ready to use:

  * [[https://code.communitymedia.network/MountainTownTechnology/aural_isle]]
  * [[github>funmusicplace/mirlo]]

Centralised, but [[co-operative|Co-ops]]:

  * https://jam.coop/
  * https://resonate.is/ - More for streaming.
