download tracks from collection

[fibonacid]

Allow users to download their collection:

export BANDCAMP_USERNAME=...
export BANDCAMP_COOKIES=...
bandcamp collection --format mp3-320

Available formats:

• mp3-320
• mp3-128
• wav
• flac
• aiff

Strategy

Load collection page and look for download link. If download link is expired, use a temporary email service

I never bought something at Bandcamp to add in my collections(country problems), tell me more detailed about this feature and specially temporary email service . what is going on behind it all?

@AssassinRobot i have worked on this for a bit but it's more complicated than i thought.

Basically, when you buy albums/tracks they end up in your collection. To download a collection item you have to:

1. Click on download link
2. Enter email (the email you had set up at the time of purchase*)
3. Wait for bandcamp email and click on download link contained in the email
4. Request download in the desired format (FLAC, WAV, AIF, MP3-320)

*This means that you cannot use a temporary email service. I tried to just read an inbox with go-imap.
There are a lot of moving parts so I'm not too hopeful about finishing it.

@fibonacid
Thanks for working on.
But why do we need it?where Bandcamp sends you an email for downling it then you chose in which format you download it, is there any limitations? the purpose of the Downloader is downloading where Bandcamp doesn't let us to have free access to the songs.
So what do you think of closing the issue and forgetting about it?
I appreciate you for working on.

I'd say it's necessary because the download quality it's pretty low, only way to download hq music is through tue collection

Its better to say downloading hq music from the source
Because when we bought a music so we're free to download it and listen to it unlimitedly, we don't need downloader.
So we have to find a solution to download hq music from a resource or other ways

Yeah, but there is no bulk download on bandcamp. I have 260 releases currently that i would like to have in multiple formats
