# 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:
1. If an item has a "free download" option ([example](https://concretomorto.bandcamp.com/album/medo-da-astrologia)), amazing! bandcamper will be able to download it in **any format** you'd like.
2. If an item has an "email download" option ([example](https://stippling.bandcamp.com/album/stippling)), amazing! bandcamper will use [onesecmail](https://github.com/yyyyyyyan/onesecmail) to get a temporary email address and will be able to download the item in **any format** you'd like.
3. If an item is playable via Bandcamp ([example](https://eltorofuerte.bandcamp.com/album/nossos-amigos-e-os-lugares-que-visitamos)), good! bandcamper will be able to download it in **mp3-128 format**.
### Does Bandcamp allow this?
[Yes!](https://get.bandcamp.help/hc/en-us/articles/360007902173-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 |
