Finally, fans can discover one another via artists’ album and track pages. Third, when a fan buys something that they discovered via another fan’s collection, we send the original fan a congratulatory email, so they can a) strut around the rest of the day feeling chuffed and b) explore the full collection of the fan whose life they’ve just changed for the better. Second, when viewing any item on any collection page, a fan can see a list of who else bought that item and what they had to say about it, and then go exploring those fans’ collections (warning: this is seriously addictive). First, when viewing their own collection page, a fan will see a list of suggested fans. (These notifications currently happen via a digest email, and we’ll add a feed option soon.)

In developing these features, we’ve been guided by one overriding objective: grow revenue for artists while keeping the core Bandcamp experience as simple and clean as possible. Today we’re giving fans the ability to showcase their Bandcamp music collections, follow their favorite artists, explore the music of like-minded fans, add items to a wishlist, and more.
Good news: we’ve been working on exactly that (and then some). You could also allow fans to see the albums that other fans have purchased, and this would help spread the word about good music virally.” Nothing too intrusive, I would hate for you guys to go all Myspace on us.
