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:

run bca_windows_gui.bat
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.
