Bandcamp Enhancement Suite

About

Chrome extension adding extra features to the Bandcamp experience.

The goal of this extension is to make Bandcamp easier to use when navigating larger sets of music (e.g. label pages with large back catalogues). It has been designed with DJs in mind.

Features

Preview Button

Provides a "Preview" button on pages with multiple albums. This button will open a player on the same page giving a quick and easy way to listen to tracks without having to navigate away from the page.

History Tracking

Adds a history display element next to album. This element is a clickable toggle which persists between page loads thus providing a history. This toggle is automatically set when preview button is used and can be manually clicked.

Keyboard Bindings

On album and track pages the following keyboard controls are supported:

Key Binding Action
Space Bar and "p" Play/Pause
Right Arrow Move Playhead Forward 10s
Left Arrow Move Playhead Back 10s
Down Arrow Play Next Track
Up Arrow Play Previous Track

Advanced Mouse Playbar

Click anywhere on the playbar to set the "playhead" of the player.

Waveform Display

Adds a wavform display similar to visualization of Soundcloud. A toggle below the "play button" on album pages will enable/disable the display. Note: The waveform is processed browserside.

Volume Control

Adds a slider on the right side of the player controls volume.

Control Relocation

Moves the forward/back buttons for the player (on album and track pages) to right under the play/pause button.

Tracklist Relocation

Moves the tracklist on an album's page directly below the player.

Bundle Purchase Download Button

Adds a button to help automate the process of download a cart after purchase. Once all music download links are ready this button, when clicked, generate a .txt file which can be pasted into terminal to automate the downloading process. This .txt file uses cURL.

Additionally, while the generated file is a .txt, it can be run directly in terminal with the command:

. ./bandcamp_*.txt

This will download the files into the same directory the terminal session is in.

Installation

Available from the Chrome webstore and Firefox Addons

Feedback

Feedback, feature requests, and bug reports are always welcome.

Development

This project uses webpack to generate the final project files from npm packages. This allows the use of import statements.

Quick Start

From the root of the project run:

npm install

This will grab all of the js dependencies.

Different npm commands defined in the scripts section of package.json can be used for to preform various tasks.

build

run:

# Defaults to --mode=production:
npm run build

this will generate js files in ./dist.

Continuous rebuild when files update:

# Defaults to --mode=development:
npm run build:watch

linter

# Show ESLint issues:
npm run lint

# Auto-fix ESLint issues, if possible:
npm run lint:fix

test

run:

# Single run:
npm test

# Watch & auto-rebuild:
npm run test:watch

Testing documentation:

distribution

run:

npm run package

This sets NODE_ENV=production which silences debug-level logging, and outputs a .zip file for distribution.
