bandcamp User Experience

Speaking as a music buyer, here is why I think bandcamp's user experience is great

  1. Pricing is transparent and upfront
  2. Offers a wide range of music formats
  3. Remembers which format you choose and makes it the default—it truly is the little things which are delightful
  4. You can tip as much or as little as you want
  5. The shopping cart lets you add items from multiple artists and labels—in a mix of dollars, pounds, and euros—then just check out once
  6. Periodically bandcamp has a day when it waives fees
  7. You can redownload anything you bought previously
  8. No special downloader application is needed, just use your browser
  9. Save your credit card info or not, choice is up to you
  10. Labels and independent artists both sell music on the service

Nothing is perfect
