Same for me! Switched to Bandcamp + Navidrome and have decided that one of my goals for the year is to find at least 2 albums per month I want to buy.

I will shamelessly promote the bandcampsync [1] CLI tool for automating downloads of your bandcamp library and bandcamp-sync-flask [2] wrapper that I built so I could invoke it from the web on my phone after I buy an album.

Rate Your Music (RYM) has been invaluable for me in discovering loads of music, I'd highly recommend it

[blue_pants]

Please, share your method.

I looked up an artist there (Dio), and then an album (Holy diver). Neither page helped me find "similar" music

Maybe I should set that goal as well, for 2025 I had 120 ;)

Love bandcamp, love navidrome! And if you are on Android and don’t mind using closed source, paid (one-time) software, Symfonium is pretty much the best mobile player you can get for selfhosted streaming.

Man, it was 1997 the last time I bought as much music as I did last year. I'm very happy that neither Youtube Music nor Spotify see a dime of it.

This is great. If you packaged it as a docker-compose YAML and maybe added a periodic task to poll automatically id drop it into Container Station in my NAS today.

Awesome! Something that I had on my todo list the past couple of months, because I also switched from YT Music to Navidrome + Bandcamp. Feels great to own your music again.

Thanks for sharing your work!

oh my god thank you for showing me that

I had been using a combination of aria2 and a link scraper plugin for years to download bulk out of bandcamp because of how fast their API will time out.

What's the navidrome pitch?

[ezst]

You stream the music you own, it uses the subsonic protocol/API, and so is compatible with countless clients, letting your enjoy your lossless music on fancy hardware at home or cached on your mobile device when on the go.

[indrora]

Better Plex than plex for music built by people who know what they're doing that uses a common API among different servers and clients, including ones that glue to Sonos, etc.

[sph]

self-hosted winamp, using an open protocol, so you can use whatever client if you don't like its web application.
