Bandcamp adds playlists

Bandcamp users can now use the Bandcamp app to make playlists from the music in their collections.

The platform is also promising upgrades to the new feature.

While acknowledging that there are licensing issues, I’d love to see tens of thousands of Bandcamp users proving their indie cred with publicly shareable playlists.

From Bandcamp:

“Just go to your collection where you’ll see a new playlist tab. Tap on that, create a playlist, and start adding to it by selecting “add to playlist” from a track or album’s context menu, or via a long press. You can even download the playlists you make so you can listen to them offline.“

And don’t forget, the next Bandcamp Friday is March 3rd,
