"Spotify is the banana of the music industry. It just gives off a fume"

— Joanna Newsom

This browser extension adds an extra element into the Spotify Web UI which links to the artist's Bandcamp page, if one is found. Only artist and album pages are affected. The extension is available for Firefox and Chrome.

#Development

Use npm run dev to open a Firefox instance with the extension running as a temporary add-on.

Use npm run dev:chrome to do the same in a Chrome instance.

The extension and any running scripts (not the browser or current page) will auto-reload when changes are detected. Uses web-ext run and webpack --watch under the hood.

Please feel free to fork and make pull requests.

#To do

• Differentiate between errors and no-results conditions

#Wishlist

• Browser action popup on pages with successfully loaded artists
• Options page
• Cache previously visited artists.
• Option to manually associate BC accounts with Spotify artists, for cases where the BC/Spotfy names are different, there are multiple artists with the same name, or the artist name uses special characters. Store these associations in a remote DB & query there before searching BC?
• When Bandcamp search improves, or a public API is released: search by album specifically.
