Best Free YouTube Alternative Now Lets You Import Music From Bandcamp

NewPipe is the best free alternative to YouTube that we can download in Europe. In recent months, the app has introduced a series of new functions, such as chapters in videos. A new version of the application has already been launched, version 0.21, which introduces a series of new features.

The user experience is improved and some errors are fixed in this new version of NewPipe, although the big news is another function. The application allows users import your music from Bandcamp, an online music platform. So you can listen to it directly in this application.

NewPipe improvements

The big news that NewPipe leaves us in this version 0.21 is Bandcamp compatibility. It is an online music distribution platform that allows users to buy, download and stream music from their favorite artists. Music purchased from Bandcamp is DRM-free, which means that as a user you have full control over albums and tracks and can do whatever you want with them. It also includes downloading and transferring music freely to other apps.

Once updated to this new version of the application on Android, it provides access to Bandcamp. This is possible in the side menu of the application. Most of the functions are present in this case, such as streaming, searching for songs, accessing radio stations, as well as downloading songs to the device, if desired.

This new version of NewPipe also introduces automatic change of application theme. That is, the app theme will be changed according to the theme you have in the system, so as to avoid having to manually change it every time. You can also pause music playback with the space button if you have an external keyboard connected. A series of bugs present which caused problems in its functioning have also been fixed.

To take advantage of these improvements, you will need to update to the new version of NewPipe on your Android phone. This new version 0.21 of the application can be downloaded directly from GitHub. Once installed, you will be able to create this link with your Bandcamp account.
