Nina Protocol App

posted June 17, 2024 #

Ever since Epic acquired Bandcamp (and definitely since Songtradr Acquired Bandcamp from Epic (laying off lots of staff)), I've kept my eye on Bandcamp alternatives. Thus far, Bandcamp has held steady with no noticeable service interruptions or changes in functionality. I'm pessimistic but we're about 8 months into the new ownership and waters seemed to have calmed.

In the wake of those changes, several competitors sprung up. One that I've been keeping my eye on is Nina Protocol, aka Nina. It's a very slimmed down experience and largely focused on electronic music, but it seems to be doing well. They just launched a mobile app that has some nice slick interactions!

The Nina service is still quite young but it's great to see them continue growing. Maybe throw a bookmark at their editorial and dip in every once and awhile.
