BANDCAMP VIA SUBSONIC
Connect playlists with dedicated credentials
Generate Subsonic credentials in Bandcamp, connect them through the Subsonic platform in Soundiiz, then transfer or synchronize playlists.

Bandcamp is an open beta and the destination catalog is your collection
Large collections may load slowly. When Bandcamp is the destination, a source track can be added only if it is already available in the connected Bandcamp collection.
If you only need to export a public fan collection or wishlist, the simpler read-only method is explained in Connect a Public Bandcamp Fan Profile to Soundiiz. Bandcamp describes the beta in its Subsonic implementation announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I select Bandcamp or Subsonic in Soundiiz?
Select Subsonic when using the credentials generated in Bandcamp Fan Settings. The regular Bandcamp connection is a separate, read-only public-profile method.
Why are source tracks not found when Bandcamp is the destination?
The Bandcamp Subsonic server searches the connected fan collection. Tracks that are not already in that collection cannot be added to the Bandcamp playlist.
Why does a large Bandcamp collection load slowly?
Bandcamp currently labels its Subsonic implementation as an open beta and warns that large collections may be slower.
The Bandcamp Subsonic connection still fails?
Send the error, confirm that the credentials were generated in Bandcamp Fan Settings, and do not include the password itself.
