Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now

• scritch-player

  2 188 5.2 HTML

  A simple, customizable HTML media player designed for artists

I think Itch.io has a decent chance of picking up where Bandcamp left off. Out of the box it doesn't have a media player to preview singles on an album, but someone created a media player that you can add to an itch page to provide said support

• Mopidy

  62 7,921 9.3 Python

  Mopidy is an extensible music server written in Python

  

Probably a good time to give a shout out to Mopidy: https://mopidy.com/

Though as for myself, I'm still running Squeezebox - nothing like being able to SSH into your smart speaker and mess around with the Perl system that's running it.

• bandcampsync

  3 119 8.4 Python

  Downloads your Bandcamp purchases automatically

When Bandcamp was sold a few weeks back I built this to download my somewhat extensive music library without having to manually download and unzip hundreds of ZIP files:

May be useful to anyone else in this thread who wants to do the same.

• restic

  357 23,766 9.7 Go

  Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  

More importantly you have the possibility to get lossless music files.

If you download from bandcamp then currently only in flac and backup the results with programs like restic [1] just as you should back up all other data.

You should always make a second copy fo any further changes if you rewrite tags or encode to other formats like mp3.
