Camp Explorer Extension

(previously known as Bandcamp Tag Search)

-- THE BIG 2.0 UPDATE!
-- Massively improved number of results and time it takes to return them!

Bandcamp is a great place to find new and fascinating music.

But you probably have an idea of your type of music so actually finding new things matching that taste is a bit tough.

This tool helps you out by letting you search for different tags/genres/locations and finds albums that match all those criterias.

USAGE
Type in a tag, genre or location and press add. Repeat for all criterias you want to find albums for. Click the x to the right of the added search criteria to remove it.

When you find an interesting album, click on it to jump to its page.

Note that search criterias that have not been cached previously might take a while for the server to cache up.

KNOWN ISSUES
- It isn't possible to get all albums from Bandcamp so some albums might be missing.

WEBPAGE

bulletproof2k (ID: 00000073f77d1423) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/19/2022 Does not work...

Valentin Blanchard (ID: 000000311e493170) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/19/2021 Works perfectly in 2.0, at least with my tags. Thank you for your work!

Christoffer Brobäck (ID: 000000921f70922b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/02/2018 i'm experience the same thing as shawn stnicky, though i think i might give an example; to progress further development. i put in "mannheim" and "power electronics" only one ressult "https://tescogermany.bandcamp.com/album/position-parall-le" shows up, the label that's located in manheim germany has many more realeases with does two taggs. for example: "https://tescogermany.bandcamp.com/album/manifest-as-teeraal-r-um-pheynix" and "https://tescogermany.bandcamp.com/album/mardr-md-d-dsstr-m" to just mention a few. theory: could it be so, that when you parse each tag for correlation, that you only get say 500+ results of each and well not all, and therefore some times when you look for something specific, simply wont find it with this app?

Moloko Plus (ID: 000000845319c010) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2018 Hi, Andreas! The extension is really helpful and easy to use. Five stars definitely. I'd love a feature to exclude certain tags. For example, if I put in "grunge" tag I'd like to have possibility to exclude bands which have "stoner" or "sludge" alongside "grunge" in their tag set. And a sort by date feature would be cool too.

Jackson Keating (ID: 000000efb9f9d0ec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/19/2018 This is awesome. Would love a feature to sort by date. I think bandcamp might support this already so it might not be difficult. i.e. https://bandcamp.com/tag/rock?sort_field=date
