Plug-in for beets to use Bandcamp as an autotagger source.

and add bandcamp to the plugins list to your beets configuration file.

Configuration

preferred_media

• Default: Digital
• available: Vinyl, CD, Cassette, Digital.

A comma-separated list of media to prioritise when fetching albums. For example: preferred_media: Vinyl,Cassette will ignore CD, check for a Vinyl, and then for a Cassette, in the end defaulting to Digital (always available) if none of the two are found.

search_max

• Default: 10.

Maximum number of items to fetch through search queries. Depending on the specificity of queries and whether a suitable match is found, it could fetch 50+ results which may take a minute, so it'd make sense to bound this to some sort of sensible number. Usually, a match is found among the first 5 items.

lyrics

• Default: false.

Add lyrics to the tracks if they are available.

art

• Default: false.

Add a source to the FetchArt plug-in to download album art for Bandcamp albums (requires FetchArt plug-in enabled).

Usage

This plug-in uses the Bandcamp URL as id (for both albums and songs). If no matching release is found when importing you can select enter Id and paste the Bandcamp URL.

• * are likely to be inaccurate, since Bandcamp does not provide this data, therefore they depend on artists providing some clues in the descriptions of their releases.
