Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Looking for amazing new music, but too lazy, er, busy to go searching? We can help! Enjoy wonderful sounds curated from the vast musical landscape known as Bandcamp, delivered with minimal effort right to your browser: a fresh new album each time you open a new tab. Sure, you can skip that nice and inviting Play button and go on with your day, but eh, why not click it, put your good headphones on and see if you like what you hear. If you don't, no biggie. Go ahead and complete your original task. But if you do? Then yeah, let it play and open another tab to go off and be productive. Music helps with that, ya know?

User reviews

My time on Bandcamp.com is spent either looking for new music, or listening to my collection. This extension doesn't help me find new music because I'm unable to customize the genres that the recommendations are based on. So a majority of the recommendations aren't helpful. In addition, it would be really cool if a user's collection could be injected into the tab so if someone wants to play music from their collection, all they need to do is open a tab.

While I appreciate being able to find new music, why is it always total and utter crap? I'm not too picky with music, but in 500 tabs, I expect something decent. I highly recommend adding a function where you can input what genres you enjoy, and get recommendations based on that. Until then, I will stick with YouTube.

Amazing. Since rdio shut down I was looking for a new way to discover music. This is great, only negative is I most times forget why I opened a new tab.
