Posted
Updated
There are several ways to do this – pick the one it suits you:
- Drag and drop: Go to your browser on a bandcamp page, left-click and drag the link (url address) of the tune or release you want to import.
Then while holding it go back to Crates (Cmd or Alt + Tab), and drop it on the crate you want to import it in. - Copy+Paste: Similarly, go to your browser on a bandcamp page, copy the url address (Cmd+C or Ctrl+C) and go back to Crates, click on the crate you want to import it, and then Paste (Cmd+V or Ctrl+V).
- Using the Browser Extension:
First make sure you have the Chrome extension installed, or get it here
(Safari extension is bundled when you install in Mac)While on the page of the tune or release, eitherclick the extension:or: right click the link and -> add link to crates
