Bandcamp Daily Fetcher

The Bandcamp Daily blog is a fantastic resource for discovering new music. I follow it in my RSS reader, but I can never keep up with reading (and listening to) new posts as they come out.

I wrote this tool to help myself out.

Bandcamp Daily Fetcher (bcdf) is a program for following and consuming music from the Bandcamp Daily blog. It scans the blog's RSS feed for posts and creates Spotify playlists for them. It can also download the songs straight from Bandcamp for listening in a local media player.

I created bcdf for my own personal use. While it does work, it is fairly unpolished and inelegant. At this moment I have no concrete plans to make it more usable/suitable to a wider audience (though I guess this could change), so manage your expectations accordingly. I'm generally open to receiving outside contributions, but please make an issue first to discuss.
