bandcamp-archive

Description:

bandcamp-archive is a convenience utility for making offline archives of bandcamp content. for any file downloaded, it creates a folder for the uploader, and then inside that folder it creates another folder named after the artist and the title of the album or track.

example: $DLDIR/example.bandcamp.com/Artist - Title/01 - Track 01 - $TRACKID.mp3

one of the current main features of bandcamp-archive is the ability to download all albums from an uploader's index page, while still saving each album to its own folder.

Dependencies:

  • Python3

Invocation:

GNU/Linux:

to download a single album or track

./bca.py https://example.bandcamp.com/album/example-album

or to download all albums:

./bca.py https://example.bandcamp.com/music

to see available options:

./bca.py -h
Windows:
  1. run bca_windows_gui.bat
  2. paste a bandcamp link into the dialog box

Configuration:

for now bandcamp-archive will create a config file if not found in the current directory. in time bandcamp-archive will support configuration through both command line arguments, and the configuration file.

TODO List:

  • create a simple gui with tkinter
  • implement support for "name your price" and free HQ downloads
  • code cleanup
  • add some type of support for user lists

History:

bandcamp-archive was previously named bandcamp-dl, but it was eventually realized that there was already an older project with this name:

bandcamp-archive is not a fork of these, it was written from the ground up with the following goals:

  • to be cross-platform
  • to keep dependencies to a minimum
  • to have the highest support of saving streaming quality mp3s
  • to save pages and pictures
  • to extract relevant data from the html pages and save as plain text
  • to eventually support automated higher quality downloads

bandcamp-archive previously was a wrapper around youtube-dl, but youtube-dl was not always able to retrieve links for streaming media. because of this bandcamp-archive now uses an internal page parser to generate links to streaming media. if preferred, youtube-dl can still be used as the download utility.
