Bandcamp is close to this. Unfortunately the website is kind of dated IMO and even core flows like exploring, buying and downloading music feel somewhat painful compared to rivals, and there’s no real recommendation system.
I would love to see a Bandcamp streaming service which fairly compensates artists and has a more discovery focussed UI, but they don’t seem that interested in evolving the product for whatever reason (they have had a fairly rough sounding series of acquisitions)
- nsteel 2y agoI'd like to see them provide an API and let others sort it out for them.
- crtasm 2y agoI know it's not what you're asking for but looking at who bought something I like, finding a few users with interesting looking collections and following them works quite well for recommendations for me. Sometimes I'll search for a specific DJ's user account to follow. There's also the Discover tool at the bottom of their homepage which includes 'artist-recommended', a new and notable section, and they have regular blog posts for various genres.
