Where Does Bandcamp Store Collections and Downloads?
Bandcamp keeps collections and wishlists in your account with downloads cached in a private sandbox on each device.
Last updated
Bandcamp collections live server-side. Purchases, wishlist, follows, and fan history attach to the account. The sandbox holds login session plus downloaded tracks for offline play.
Download rights follow purchases, not devices. Any logged-in device re-fetches the same files. Merch orders and receipts render from the account alongside the music.

Log in and the collection follows. Purchases, wishlist, and fan account sync from the server. Downloads need re-fetching per device; the account holds the rights.
