Sorry - unless your account was created before October 2013, it's not possible to create a streaming-only release. If your account was created after October 2013, any track or album you create will be available for download after you hit "Publish."
Our main goal is to keep your fans happy. Here's why we require downloads:
Without downloadable digital tracks, your album would not appear in the search results for new fans on Bandcamp.com.
Being found in Discover or in tag searches drives thousands of sales every month. Just like with search, only downloadable albums show up.
When an album doesn't include a download, it also doesn't appear in any Fan Collections. Fan Collections drive countless sales for bands, and fans love to promote your music!
Fans have come to expect a digital download with their Bandcamp purchases. That's part of what makes this platform unique. It is confusing for your fans if it isn't available.
