Though it's not visible in the user interface, pretty much the whole site relies on Flash -- the streaming player is a hidden Flash object that's controlled by the HTML user interface, and even uploads and downloads use Flash. Personally, I don't have a major problem with that :) I have my own Bandcamp site too -- http://pneuman.bandcamp.com/ -- and I see the Flash bits as a bit of a necessary evil. I've done some work with HTML5 audio streaming, and while it does work, different browsers require different formats, and you still need a Flash fallback for IE. It's also quite hard to get all of the stats that Bandcamp gives you about how _much_ of a file people have listened to. Like you though, Atte, I also throw my songs on my own site and have direct URLs that people can use to download them, so that even those without Flash can still get them.
