What bandcamp understands is that a lot of people know how to get the music for free. What makes me pick bandcamp is that I can afford it, I know where the money is going, and they let me download my music they also have an app with no fuss.
You just described the buyer side of the marketplace while parent was right about the seller side. StreamBright 5 months ago root parent next [—]. True that. I guess the difference between the streaming services vs bandcamp is more relevant to the content providers musicians than to the users. They also have Bandcamp Weekly[1] and similar "radio" shows which I like, exposes me to music I'd otherwise likely not stumble over.
It's also good for finding unsigned artists, kind of like what mp3. A lot of the artists allow you to play their music on the website, and if you like it you can buy it in FLAC : Some of my favourite music I have purchased from there! I've been thinking about this. Surely, if the app stores maintain that their restrictions prevent users from being infected with malware, then they are legally liable for any malware that is installed? I know they have a disclaimer saying that they're not responsible for damage caused by the user installing stuff, but that may be legally unenforceable?
It's like how you can't sue Facebook or Twitter for someone using their platforms to spread illegal content or plan violence. What usually helps in these cases is that the platforms demonstrate good faith and fund moderation teams to remove harmful content once it is discovered. Likewise any malware on the App Store would get removed as soon as it becomes "popular. As I understand it, though, that only applies if the platform doesn't control what is posted.
Given that the app stores have an extensive vetting process, and complete control over what can and cannot be accepted, why are they not responsible for that content? If someone posts e. However, if the nudity filter fails, that doesn't give you legal authority to sue Discord; once again it's a good faith effort and I think any court would agree that Discord tried its best to prevent said content from being posted, it just failed in this one case.
Deciding to pre-screen content doesn't make you responsible for it, especially if the malware tries to hide itself. If someone brought an American flag to a football game and then unfurled it to reveal a swastika, I don't think anyone would blame the security guards at the entry checkpoint for not catching it.
I think if a security check that extensively searched every part of every single entrant to a venue failed to find a gun, and that gun was used to injure other people at that venue, then the victims would have grounds to sue whoever performed that security check, yes.
Where the security check is obviously more about protecting the venue's revenue stream than protecting the attendees, despite being advertised as necessary for the safety of the attendees. Thinking about it more - this focus on removing commercial threats instead of security threats is what bugs me. The problem is that this does not model the situation accurately; there is no known malware available for download on the App Store to my knowledge.
Any apps that actually do get past review unfairly by using private APIs or otherwise are quickly removed. Your model implies that Apple is willingly letting malware stay up on the App Store, which is not the case. I've been doing some poking around and just found some confused people on Twitter. Bandcamp themselves appear to have said nothing at all as yet. Hopefully this can get resolved fairly soon, as Bandcamp is a pretty great platform and over the last year they have had a number of "Bandcamp Friday" events where they don't charge any commission on sales, so that's the best time to buy loads of music from your favourite Bandcamp artists and give them as much support as you can.
I doubt that will last, but I know it's been welcome to a couple of my friends during the pandemic. I love bandcamp. I have bought a decent amount of music through there including physical media and artists tend to really show their appreciation. I almost always get signed CDs, hand written thank you notes and other unsolicited freebees. This is the platform indie artists really like to interact with their fans. I use the iOS app and have no issues. I love Bandcamp, but man do they need to improve their app and website.
It's been pretty much stagnant for a long time and there's just so much potential. Handling of collections is just terrible. You cannot sort or group your collection in any way. You cannot even easily distinguish between single tracks and albums! You cannot create playlists. You cannot download several things at once.
And most egregiously: Bandcamp must sit on a ton of data to make good suggestions to what other music I'd probably like, and they do pretty much nothing with it. The only thing I could find is when you click on an album, you see a few suggestions at the bottom, that's it.
Such a shame. Again: I love Bandcamp and regularly buy stuff there, but it could be SO much better! I specifically like the fact that Bandcamp feels more like a record store than a Spotify. The Bandcamp Daily series goes in depth on several genres of music. It feels like a magazine, which is subtantively different from Spotify and Apple's approach, which is to throw playlists with pithy titles at the user, without any context.
IMO, that creates a situation where you don't really explore new music, but just continue listening to stuff you're already familiar with. You know, I'm pretty old, and back in the day, the owner of the local record store knew my taste and introduced me to stuff he'd think I might like. And I created my own mixtapes with tracks from different albums and gave them to friends.
So I don't see how Bandcamp would become "just another Spotify" if it introduced playlists and proper recommendations.
The local store owner did a bit more than slap a bunch of records on the counter and say "Liked that? Then you'll like this! Even your average RateYourMusic list writer attempts to write 2 lines for each song or record on the list.
I'm more inclined to try something out when there is at least some human input about why I might like it. For example, I have been exploring the music of Ministry, and this RYM list provides the kind of human touch I'm looking for to keep my interest. I did reach out about the multi-buy situation - apparently BC doesn't have a useful way to say "this part of my collection sell for a price and this other stuff exclude it" because almost no one sells a discog and when I emailed them the responses I got were generally "we sell vinyl and other stuff in our store and selling it in one big bundle doesnt make sense".
It's actually not about buying but downloading. I regularly buy single tracks and downloading them one by one is very tedious: You have to click on "download", you get to a new site to download this single track, then you have to wait up to 10 seconds for the on-the-fly encoding, and finally you can download it.
It's so bad I pretty much stopped "impulse purchases" of single tracks. Gotcha yeah - that is annoying AF which is why I wanted to buy the discog because it has a "download all the things" button or so bandcamp claims. Perhaps some changes are coming. A quick twitter search shows that the App was removed as early as June 9. Slightly off topic but Bandcamp really need to fix their broken 24 bit.
They seem to think it's OK to lay the blame on the DJ software that won't play their files [2], but re-encoding a 24 bit. Spotify: Music and Podcasts Spotify is the best way to listen to music and With Smule, you can sing and make music TuneIn brings together live sports, Amuse Music Distribution We make music distribution free. Thank you! Share this with friends. That's bad! Please write your problem below and someone from our community may help you.
If Bandcamp is downloading very slowly, it could also be due to the size of the app itself. The progress bar gives you a slow download, but this may only appear because of the size of the app.
In the event of an update, you can check in the respective app store how big the installation file is and see whether it may load for so long due to its size. Whether you want to update Bandcamp or download it again. We have therefore put together a few possible solutions so that you can download the Bandcamp app without any problems. I am running Windows 8. Then I was able to play tracks on Bandcamp. Strange that this only affected Bandcamp and no other sites.
Hello Eklinaar Start the Firefox in safe mode to check if any extension or plugins are making an issue. Or you can use Navigational Sounds ad on to rectify the problem. Hope it will work.
