–News Direct–

Bandcamp, the worlds largest super fan platform supporting artists, is celebrating its 40th Bandcamp Friday On May 3rd 2024, an industry unique initiative where the platform doesn't take any revenue share at all, passing all funds along to artists.

Since the inception of Bandcamp Fridays in 2020, the platform has contributed $123 million to artists through this initiative alone, complementing the $1.3 billion generated for artists across all Bandcamp transactions to date. This growth is fueled by a highly dedicated fanbase, growing at a rate of approximately 100,000 per month, whose engagement is not just supporting artists financially but also driving a significant shift in how music ecosystems can operate. Bandcamps strategy of fostering deep connections within its community has positioned it as a leader in servicing fan passion as well as the artist.

Bandcamp has created an innovative platform allowing artists to directly sell their music products to fans where an unparalleled 85-100% of revenue goes directly to artists. Superfans, the new VIPs in the music industry, and the Artists they support have collaboratively grown Bandcamp into the music industrys most precious ecosystem. Championing generous compensation, Bandcamp inspires what it means to truly value artists.

Bandcamp is unique among its peers attributing 100% of its growth to what is effectively a social network that has grown organically without advertising since its inception in 2007. Bandcamp has remained unwaveringly committed to serving as the worlds online record store and music community where passionate fans discover, connect with, and directly support the artists they love.

Bandcamps market leading strategy extends beyond financial transactions, fostering a robust ecosystem where the music fan is central to the narrative. "Bandcamp is more than a marketplace; it's a thriving community where artists and fans converge to celebrate and sustain the art of music," explained Andrew Jervis, Bandcamps Director of Artists and Labels. "This community-driven model not only supports but actively promotes the growth of artists by providing them tools to manage their careers. Artists from virtually every country gain global exposure and connect directly with fans who are eager to support them, not just through purchases but through genuine engagement and feedback. Our platform facilitates these interactions by sharing useful data, enabling fans to express their shared appreciation for music, enabling direct artist-to-fan communications, and through special events like Bandcamp Live and Listening Parties, making it an indispensable hub for music discovery and artist development.."

"Bandcamp's community is truly unique, fostering a deep sense of engagement between artists and fans," says Jansport J, an artist thriving on the platform. "Whether it's releasing a project with fans like Aglana from the UK in mind, knowing that Thomas in New Zealand is eagerly awaiting a pre-order, or anticipating that David in Los Angeles will add my album to his recommended listthese are real interactions that happen on Bandcamp. It's this direct connection with supportive fans across the globe that makes Bandcamp invaluable to independent artists like myself.

Bryan Biniak, President of Songtradr, Bandcamps parent company, highlighted the progressive impact of Bandcamp's model on the music industry, noting a strategic shift toward more equitable financial practices. "We're not standing still. Our ongoing enhancements and investments in Bandcamp are about expanding the platform's capabilities. We're introducing more tools for artists and labels to succeed, enhancing discovery, and building community features. Songtradr is actively investing in the community, the product, and new payment solutions to make the platform even stronger. These developments have already led to a 20% increase in artist earnings and a 30% rise in fan engagement, underscoring the economic vitality of the superfan community and setting the stage for even greater growth," he added.

About Bandcamp Friday:

When Covid 19 hit, Bandcamp announced it would waive its usual fee for one day in order to support artists affected by the shutdown of live music. The first Bandcamp Friday took place on March 20th, and fans bought 800,000 records on Bandcamp in 24 hours, totalling $4.3m of music and merchandise. This was 15 times more than a typical Friday. Fans stepped up for the artist community and showed their commitment with their wallets knowing the purchases they made would go directly to helping the livelihood of the artists they supported. In many cases, fans pay more than the artist retail price for their music and merchandise, demonstrating their heartfelt commitment. Bandcamp announced its ongoing commitment to the artist community by pre-announcing a full year of Bandcamp Fridays for 2024. Friday May 3rd will mark the 40th Bandcamp Friday, where fans can splurge on their favorite artists and share their love, and reciprocally Bandcamp will share its support by waiving 100% of their fees.

Bandcamp is the worlds largest super fan community, an online record store and music community where fans discover, connect with, and directly support the artists they love. Bandcamp fosters a communal experience with music discovery, where artists and fans support each other in a vibrant ecosystem.

QuickBooks File Repair: Essential Steps to Restore and Protect Your Financial Data

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 22nd November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks file repair is often necessary when a QuickBooks company file becomes corrupted or damaged. This can happen due to various reasons, such as system crashes, large file sizes, network issues, or power outages. Corrupted files can lead to issues like missing data, error messages, or QuickBooks freezing unexpectedly, so it’s essential to address these problems quickly to maintain data integrity.

As a QuickBooks company file grows, it can become more prone to corruption and performance issues, especially in older versions of QuickBooks that may not handle large files as effectively.

If multiple users are working on the same file over a network, disruptions in network connectivity can lead to file corruption. System crashes, power outages, or abrupt QuickBooks closures can cause file damage, as data may not be saved or closed correctly. 

The QuickBooks File Doctor is a free tool from Intuit that scans and repairs corrupted QuickBooks files. It addresses common issues and can resolve error messages related to data corruption, network issues, and Windows permissions.

The Rebuild Data utility within QuickBooks Desktop can fix minor data issues. This tool scans the file for errors and attempts to repair them automatically. To access it, go to “File” > “Utilities” > “Rebuild Data.”

If file size is the cause of corruption, condensing the data may help. The Condense Data utility reduces file size by summarizing older transactions, which can make the file more manageable and reduce the risk of future corruption.

If the file is significantly damaged, restoring from the most recent backup can often be the quickest solution. QuickBooks allows users to create regular backups, so if you’ve been backing up your data, you may be able to restore it without losing much information.

For severe file corruption, or when standard tools fail, contacting a QuickBooks file repair specialist may be necessary. Professional services can often repair damaged files without data loss, restoring the integrity of financial records.

QuickBooks file repair is crucial to prevent data loss and keep financial records accurate. Regularly backing up data, monitoring file size, and maintaining a stable network connection can reduce the risk of file corruption, ensuring smoother, uninterrupted use of QuickBooks.

QuickBooks SuperCondense reduces file size more drastically than standard condensing, resulting in faster load times and smoother navigation

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 22nd November 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks SuperCondense is a specialized process used to significantly reduce the size of large QuickBooks company files, helping improve software speed and stability. Over time, QuickBooks files can become sluggish as more transactions are recorded, leading to delays, errors, or even corruption issues. A SuperCondense, which goes beyond the built-in “Condense Data” utility, can help resolve these issues by reducing file size by up to 80%.

Large file sizes can cause QuickBooks to slow down, affecting user productivity and increasing the chance of crashes. SuperCondense reduces file size more drastically than standard condensing, resulting in faster load times and smoother navigation.

Smaller files are less prone to corruption, which can occur when QuickBooks attempts to handle oversized files. SuperCondense helps protect data integrity, reducing the need for frequent repairs or data recovery.

Moving large QuickBooks files to QuickBooks Online can be challenging due to file size limits. SuperCondensing your file before migration ensures it meets size requirements, allowing for a seamless transition to the cloud.

Smaller files are easier to back up and store, reducing storage costs and simplifying data management processes.

During SuperCondense, older or inactive transactions are summarized, and unused items (like vendors or customers) are removed or archived. Unlike the regular condense process, which may only summarize old transactions, SuperCondense minimizes every aspect of the file, providing a more compact and efficient end result.

QuickBooks users can use professional services for a SuperCondense process, as it’s not included in the standard QuickBooks software. These services ensure a smooth reduction process while preserving essential data, helping businesses maximize QuickBooks performance without losing historical information.

SuperCondense is an effective way for businesses to optimize their QuickBooks files for faster, more reliable performance. By reducing file size significantly, businesses can enjoy a smoother QuickBooks experience, better data protection, and simpler cloud migration, making SuperCondense a valuable option for those dealing with large, sluggish files.
