Executive Summary

Independent artists, collectors, DJs and small labels currently spend hours copying Bandcamp track descriptions, credits and release notes by hand or using brittle scripts, which leads to inconsistent metadata and fragile offline libraries for an estimated 2.0M professional and prosumer users. That manual friction is especially painful for DJs and labels that need standardized local metadata for playback, archiving and distribution. Build a lightweight product (desktop app + optional web/CLI hooks) that automatically exports Bandcamp release pages into info.txt files per track or release, preserving descriptions, credits, links and configurable templates; offer a polished non-technical UI, plus automation hooks and a CLI mode for power users. Include integrations with taggers and simple batch workflows so users can drop a release link and get production-ready metadata. The timing is favorable: the market is roughly $600M (2.0M users × $300 ACV) and growth in direct-to-fan releases increases demand for metadata portability, while collectors and small labels show willingness to pay for reliable tooling and label plans. This creates a clear path to recurring revenue through premium features, label subscriptions and add-ons. Differentiate by solving the UX gap left by open-source CLIs: prioritize reliability, readable templates, one-click archival workflows and clear compliance with Bandcamp’s terms (or partner via API if possible). The main challenges are maintaining compatibility with site/API changes and educating a mixed technical user base, but if you can save users measurable hours per release the product can command a premium and scale relatively quickly.
