Time to make sure you have downloaded everything you bought on BC.

My thoughts too. This is going to be tedious for those of us with larger collections… too bad there doesn’t seem to be a way to bulk download from my library.

One solution to this, albeit a fairly technical one, can be found here: https://github.com/Ezwen/bandcamp-collection-downloader . I've been using it for years to download my library in FLAC format.

There are also a bunch of GUI tools that claim to download libraries (search for "bandcamp downloader") but I haven't used any of them.

I was hoping someone would chime in with something like this. Thank you!

Is there a good alternative platform for independent artists?

I download everything I buy on BC immediately.
