- Rated 5 out of 5by Tobias Rieper, 3 years agoAdds lots of features bandcamp should support natively. Playlists for a collection, wishlist and feeds. You can even choose between favorites and whole albums. Shuffle is also possible. Great for checking out large lists. Bandcamp should hire this dev.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Luke, 4 years agoGreat tool. Only want would be to load entire library instead of having to manually scroll through it to load it up. Otherwise, great companion tool to bandcamp.

- Rated 5 out of 5by muddywaters, 4 years agoI just installed this and it added seamless continuous playback of my bandcamp wishlist, and has not crashed my browser or slowed it down in any way - truly all I could ask for. I'm sure the other features are great, too.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14315996, 5 years agoI love this extension and really am happy it exists, especially since for seemingly a long time the only equivalent of it was for icky Chromium.
Unfortunately this extension does have a performance problem, from what I have noticed.
It appears that when you have a lot of "new releases from artists you follow" or items in your feed, the extension causes a very long delay loading the bandcamp feed page. I can see in the browser debugger that it is because it is trying to prefetch all of the json for each of the items on the page, which unfortunately causes the feed page loading to time out. This doesn't happen with this extension's relative on Chromium either (so I assume it is using a different strategy for handling the auto-play).
I am going to guess this is probably an outlier in some respect but I am a heavy user of bandcamp who follows a lot of labels who release things constantly, so my feed gets filled up pretty fast. Either way, it would be nice if this could be fixed.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHi, thanks for the feedback! Pleased to hear you like it!
If this is still happening, could you post an issue on Github or email me with some more details, like maybe console screenshots or transcripts? I'd love to get it sorted out if so.
Bandcamp itself actually does all the fetching & loading, the extension just accesses what is made available from that (identical code in the Chrome version), so something else may be going on.
