+1 for Bandcamp
Having Bandcamp added would be cool.
The family uses Apple Music, and Gramophone magazine has decided to make them their exclusive partner, so it would be nice to have that one. But honestly, I am pretty content with Qobuz.

Yes please, +1
Why is this thread so old?
Bandcamp metadata scraping pleeeeeease.
+1
Does BandCamp even offer an API for something like scraping?
They did not when I asked them, and if fact AFAIK they don’t have a full schema for it, but rather just artist and album pages, with some track info. I suspect it would be a major effort to get this reworked for reliable metadata export.
Question answered.
The streaming aspect of Bandcamp is really there to allow people to try before they buy but their business model is primarily to sell downloads for their artists and generate revenue that way.
Therefore I don’t see how it is in the interests of Bandcamp to allow third parties to stream music FOC through a service like Roon UNLESS they get some sort of a kick-back?
While it seems very unlikely to have the streaming aspect and metadata pulled in from Bandcamp given the previous responses on here, I would love to buy directly via Roon.
Having the Qobuz store and Bandcamp store integrated into Roon, a buy button next to the album on streamed albums would be amazing (obviously have a toggle for people who don’t want it).
Roon could then pull down the files into your storage removing a step from Bandcamp / Qobuz.

+1 per Bandcamp!!
I agree it would be great to have bandcamp integration. They have a lot of lesser known artists (and genres, such as video game soundtracks) that Tidal and Qobuz ignore.
+1 for Bandcamp.
Many artists from different fields are represented here, which you can’t find on the big platforms. That would be an enrichment for roon.
Oh of course…not even worth a discussion…on the basis it’s possible.
I’ll take the liberty & +1 for every lifetime & annual member. 
(not to mention potential members who’d require its integration).
In the meantime don’t forget if you add your favourite Bandcamp artist and their releases to MusicBrainz then they will be picked up by Roon. If everybody did this then maybe a decent chunk of at least the more popular bandcamp artists would be covered by MusicBrainz.
