#bandcamp now doing playlists #gamechanger

@JohnPartTimer "This is what I’ve been waiting for, where do I find playlists on desktop?

Playlisting is only available via the Bandcamp Fan app right now - sorry!"

Unfortunately no gamechanger, playlists for the mobile version have been already possible for quite some time, but not for the desktop version.... but is it now possible to make more than one playlist on the mobile version?

@lehto
Yeah. Multiple playlists that you can go back to instead of just a queue.
They're getting there slowly

@JohnPartTimer okay that's cool indeed, but only for personal use right?

I guess...you have to own the music

It'll certainly change the way I use the app.

@JohnPartTimer yes, otherwise they would override the "x times play before you have to buy" option set by artists.

@JohnPartTimer I'm still pretty sure, sooner or later BC will change completely. Not only in it's design, but also in functions and way we (have) use it.... could be very cool if they do it well, or they dig their own grave with it, like MySpace and SoundCloud did back in the days.

There's certainly a tendency for apps/sites to misunderstand what makes them good and then overreach.
I'm hoping Bandcamp doesn't go the same way... But even just saying that seems like the kiss of death (lol)

@JohnPartTimer fingers crossed they won't, I mean SC and MS are good examples how to not do it, hopefully they are smarter.

@lehto @JohnPartTimer interestingly the CE of BC has always asserted they're not a streaming company and described them as an online marketplace a la Etsy. If this concept has survived the buy out, I do wonder where they'll go! But that's an "if".
