Download. Organize. Share.

Sidecamp is the desktop companion app for TuneCamp. Search and download music across 7 sources (Soulseek, torrents, YouTube, Bandcamp, and more) — then organize folders, build CDJ-ready playlists, play tracks with a scrolling waveform, and share your collection back to the network as a peer node.

Modern Desktop GUI Dashboard

A sleek, low-overhead graphical client for easy library management and P2P downloading.

Search & Download: Unified multi-source search across Soulseek, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Torrent, P2P Network, Archive.org, and YouTube — all from one interface with real-time download logs.

Key Features

Built for speed, convenience, and absolute user control.

Multi-Source Search & Download

Unified search across Soulseek, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, torrents, the Internet Archive (archive.org), and the TuneCamp peer network — all simultaneously or filtered by platform with real-time download logs.

Audio Library & Waveform Player

Browse your downloaded music library with an in-app player and a 60fps Rekordbox-style scrolling waveform canvas. Edit ID3 tags (title, artist, album) and rename files in place.

DJ Playlists & CDJ Export

Build and curate DJ sets directly from your library, reorder tracks, import/export playlist JSONs, and export flat CDJ-ready USB folders with UTF-8 M3U8 playlists for Pioneer CDJs.

Folder Organizer & Deduplication

Automatically scan, rename, and sort any local music folder by Artist, Album, or Genre. Detect duplicate tracks and auto-fill missing genre metadata using Beatport and MusicBrainz APIs.

P2P Network Explorer

Browse tracks shared by connected TuneCamp nodes and the central catalog. Live licensing awareness respects release terms: tracks marked For sale, Stream only, or External stream safely with protected downloads.

Peer Node & Zero-Config Tunnel

Share local music folders with any TuneCamp instance via a secure reverse WebSocket tunnel. No port forwarding or firewall configuration required — listeners stream or download via server relay.

Granular Sharing Permissions

Control access folder-by-folder in real time. Choose exactly which folders allow peer downloads and which remain streaming-only with the toggle of a switch.

Direct Upload to TuneCamp

Push tracks from your local library directly to your TuneCamp account. Metadata (title, artist, album) is pre-filled from saved ID3 tags — edit before upload in one click.

BitTorrent / WebTorrent Engine

Add magnet links or torrent files directly; download and seed from your desktop with live peer counts, speed metrics, and progress tracking.

yt-dlp Audio Extraction

Rip high-quality audio streams from YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and hundreds of supported platforms. Binaries are automatically acquired and kept up to date.

Internet Archive Integration

Search and download free, public-domain audio directly from archive.org into your local collection — no manual browser downloads required.

Server Stays Clean & Compliant

Heavy P2P downloads and yt-dlp run exclusively on your desktop client. The TuneCamp server hosts only legitimate catalog and streaming data — 100% compliant.
