hi there! like we mentioned last week, colin and aidan are working on a feature we’re all really excited about right now; we were hoping it would ship in time for this patch notes but there’s still some stuff to finish up, so we’re going to provide you some more details on it at the end of the post instead of leaving you in the dark.

alongside spending most of our week on that, we’ve shipped a couple small changes:

• fixed a bug where users could very rarely get stuck in a half-signed up state, unable to use the site
  • this happened at most about once every 10,000 registrations
  • after we got two reports of it in a short span of time, we fixed what we think is the underlying issue so it shouldn’t happen any more, fixed the small number of users whose account was in this broken state, and built new tooling for @kaara to help fix people’s accounts with minimal effort if it ever recurs.
• removed a bunch of old unused notification code, in preparation for doing some more work to improve notifications.

on the business front, we’ve finalized our most recent round of funding! we’ll have a full financial update out next week for the start of October and we’ll go into more detail about everything then.

a year and a half after buying bandcamp, epic is selling bandcamp to a the largest music licensing company in the world known as SongTradr...

surely shoving one of the platforms that gives musicians the best terms being shoved under a b2b company that has a large amount of leverage over the industry and no prior interest in selling music to people will be fine, right? there's no way they decide to do anything harmful to either bandcamp, musicians, or listeners with this deal

It's not perfect or a long term 'replacement' (definitely doesn't have the built-in music buying audience that bandcamp does) but it does support selling music, and with this pretty rad tool from Torcado, you can easily create a bandcamp-like media player for your stuff, complete with album art, lyric pages, credits, etc.

I've had it set up for a while, you can see it in action here:

If you're a musician interesting in setting this up and need some help, let me know - I'm happy to!
