bandcamper
The most powerful Bandcamp downloader there is! If you can play a song on Bandcamp, bandcamper can download it for free ;).
Description
bandcamper is a Python-powered tool that tries its best to download albums and tracks from Bandcamp for free! It does that by trying these 3 methods:

If an item has a "free download" option (example), amazing! bandcamper will be able to download it in any format you'd like.
If an item has an "email download" option (example), amazing! bandcamper will use onesecmail to get a temporary email address and will be able to download the item in any format you'd like.
If an item is playable via Bandcamp (example), good! bandcamper will be able to download it in mp3-128 format.

Does Bandcamp allow this?
You can read Bandcamp's position here (I heard you can steal music on Bandcamp. What are you doing about this?).

Output Template
The output template is a string that can contain special variables and will be joined to the destination directory to determine the final path of the downloaded tracks.
This template follows the Python string formatting scheme of {var} and is, by default, "{artist}/{album}/{track_num:02d} - {track}.{ext}". You can change the template through the -o/--output flag.
These are the available variables you can use in the template:



Variable
Description




album
The album's title


artist
The artist's name


ext
The track's file extension


track
The track's title


track_num
The track number


year
The album's release year



Extra Output Template
Some Bandcamp downloads come with extra files other than the tracks, like the cover art image. These files will not follow the output template, since they are not tracks.
Instead, they follow the extra output template, which can be passed through the --output-extra parameter and by default is "{artist}/{album}/{filename}".
These are the available variables you can use in the template:



Variable
Description




album
The album's title


artist
The artist's name


filename
The name of the file


year
The album's release year
