Asked this question two years ago on t’other place but never had a response bar one fellow Innuos user. No chance of Bandcamp integration either full or via an LMS Plug In as per BBC Sounds?
 
I'm personally all for it since I use Bandcamp quite a bit, but it's not something on our scope for the foreseeable. I think there used to be a plugin for it, but never managed to get it working on our devices unfortunately. I'll certainly raise it, but would be good to know if this would appeal internationally to a decent portion of our users.

You can reignite interest on the request below, to my surprise it wasnt a particularly popular one compared to others.
 
Indeed, and in time I would like to merge the feature request function into this forum as I'd much prefer to have it all consolidated under one site!
Have posted some brief encouragement on the other place. Would be good of anyone with an interest voted there but maybe posted here where it might be more visible?

We've just taken a look at this, and the bad news is that Bandcamp seem to have withdrawn their public API, which in other words means that the software kit they would provide to allow an integration like this has been closed off from their side. Unfortunately, this would make an integration very difficult indeed and would have to be a completely unofficial 'DIY' one, which would be unwise to pursue for multiple reasons.
If they change their position on this then it could become more feasible.
 
Just been reading that it’s not withdrawn but access has been restricted. Some of it because of their changing payment system, some thanks to AI and some because they fear streaming undermines their model. That last one might be key.
