I'm thinking of using Bandcamp and wondered if anyone who currently is using it or used it in the past might share their experience(s) with it, pro and con.

Plus, are there any problems with terminating the service if you no longer wish to use it?

I hate that there's no volume control.

That's incredible. No volume adjustment on any of their players?

we sold exactly three songs there.
It's free and looks nice, so what the heck.

We set up the bandcamp account when our online distributor took long to get the material in itunes and amazon , but we will keep the bandcamp account now as well. doesn't do any harm.

I've uploaded a lot of music there. Some free releases, some commercial ones. I sold zero, there was a few downloads & plays, but not a lot compared to Soundcloud (thousands of plays) or even Archive.org (around 300 downloads). It's been a deception for me, as it took me a whole day of work to setup the whole thing, & it's took me even more time to make new artworks & remaster some of the tracks. I kind of wasted my time there, I have sold a lot more sample packs on Sampleism & Tradebit, which is something that actualy works commercialy.

Still, I plan to upload old music of mine & underground compilations I have that never saw the light of day. It will be available as free downloads...
