I built this site to scratch my itch.
A platform like Bandcamp is a fantastic tool to promote your music and profit from your efforts.
Bandcamp can be very valuable for independent artists, and a few sales on Bandcamp can easily make you more money than thousands of streams on some other unnamed services.
The problem is that Bandcamp needs to make promotion and discovery easier.
I have always liked the download codes that Bandcamp gives you, and I have used them to promote my music—either posting them on my socials or in online forums where folks post codes.
Using Bandcamp codes online has always been a weird experience. People post pages of codes, and users try to keep track of the used ones.
It's a process that is "broken."
GetMusic fixes this.
Artists can promote their releases without having to worry about tracking codes. When a fan clicks the link to redeem a code, it's automatically redeemed, and the code is marked as used so that it won't be handed out again.
In the week after the site's initial launch, I promoted one of my releases and gained more followers on Bandcamp than I have after a year of self-promotion.

Notes from the other side.
Through the golden age of vapor- and adjacentwave Twitter, I remained a devout consumer and user of the #freealbumcodes hashtag. As Elon Musk turned the platform into a shithole, you can ask my wife: Losing touch with that network really sent me into a depression. Most thankfully, it looks like all the big players have made their way over to Blue Sky and used GetMusic.fm to help keep the scene(s) alive. There might be no one in the entire music ecosystem of 2026, mainstream or not, doing more right now to help DIY and grassroots musicians find paying audiences all over the world more than Chuck and this website. For what we can get back of the old connectivity, I know it means the world to songwriters and composers at my level.
It has always been hard to grow on Bandcamp as an artist. The platform is amazing but growth is extremely slow and discrete. As soon as I discovered GetMusic and connected my Bandcamp account with my Album "Otto Vite" (Eight Lives), I got people coming to listen, download my release, and follow my account. After a couple of weeks on GetMusic, my follower count doubled, and I had a nice increase in plays too. Most importantly, I myself was able to discover some hidden gems and support small artists out there. Likely a platform I will use again (and again) in order to spotlight my upcoming Releases.
GetMusic helps garner listens, sales and follows. It's been a huge help in a world where the social media platforms and algorithms tend to work against underground artists.
I honestly cannot remember how I functioned as an indie artist without GetMusic. In fact, the site does so much of the work for me, I've actually let my other promotional activities slide! For a long time I was a "Free" or "Pay What You Want" artist, but had little traction. Even though listeners getting codes through GetMusic is still technically free, there's a psychological reward when cashing tokens for music you'd normally pay for. Just by offering codes through GetMusic, my listeners have grown by 70% or more. Along with providing links to song downloads, GetMusic is constantly popping up on the socials with graphics of new releases, either solo or grouped with other new tracks. I myself am often drawn to new music thanks to these arresting graphics. GetMusic's stats are also great for reposting and reminding listeners of your newest tracks or albums. Along with Bandcamp, GetMusic is an essential tool for the indie artist.
We’ve used GetMusic on 3 releases now and every single time it has resulted in many more followers. They may not always translate into more sales - but you are in all those peoples collections and they are all on your messaging list for notifications about future releases etc. We regard it as an investment for the future - to build up your list of followers and raise awareness of what you do. Chuck (who interfaces with the artists) is a really nice guy and will always try to accommodate any requests you have for promotions and new merchandise releases etc. He has done loads for us and his intervention often results in increased plays on our Bandcamp page. The news of the offer of promoting free downloads at no cost is a godsend to struggling bands and is an excellent idea I our opinion - it means we can now afford to offer free downloads of “singles” to promote upcoming releases. Keep up the good work - GetMusic definitely gets The Crabs Commendation!
It definitely helped me get more listens and follows and I really appreciate the reposts on my Twitter as well. It brings awareness to my page and I love that.
