Updated. I have more luck searching , so I set the index parser to search that field accordingly.

Updated. First time I used it in awhile and I noticed that it had difficulty parsing one of the variants of "trackinfo: "

Fixed for now...

Updated websource. Sorry about the jankiness from my older Bandcamp scripts. Admittedly, they were done in a hurry. No one mentioned anything to me here, so I thought they worked well for others. Again, I don't use Bandcamp all that much, so I tested this recently and found the one I posted from last year was broken. This one should be much better (using sayregexp now). See OP for new src file.

Umm, how do I query an artist?  
I don't have any albums, only individual Songs but nearly all of them are on bandcamp and got a cover there.

Artist pages often times don't have the track info you're looking for. Also, one would need to go to another page, which is beyond what the index parser can do (index -\> URL; not index -\> URL -\> URL2).

I updated the initial post to include a source that permits searching for single tracks.

I downloaded the source. It works well to find the track on Bandcamp but all the tags fields are then empty.  
I'm pretty sure it is caused by the structure of the website that must have changed. Do you have any update or could you help me with some tips on how to adapt the source to make it work ?

Many thanks

It's mostly in working order still, but I've had two odd problems with this:

1. Tracks 7 and all the way down are repeated with track 1. I've done many, but this issue is oddly specific to this album/page. 

2. Song titles with quotation are being attached (escaped?) with backslashes (so "). It's not a huge deal, but it requires extra steps in tagging by having to use $replace otherwise it'll output some odd file type/name shenanigans.

When attempting to tag a single file, looking for albums will only return the first track for some reason. Is there a way to fix this? Also, is there a way to produce a full date format e.g. 2017-07-28?

When you buy something on Bandcamp, usually you already know the URL. Sometimes the search of the script doesn't find the release even though it is letter for letter like on Bandcamp. Hence it would pretty great to have an option to enter the URL manually instead of just searching for it.

Can this be added to the script?

Bandcamp changed their site, so here are updated websources for album searching (1st websource) or simply paste the URL into the search window (2nd websource). It doesn't grab as many info fields as before. Just keeping it simple with the basics.

Hello @all,

Is it also possible to include the Bandcamp track URL in the tags?

Thank you very much for an answer.

It is saved as `BANDCAMP_URL` in the tags. If you want to save it in the more common tag field `WWW`, then open up the src file in notepad, or your favorite text editor, and change the line `outputto "BANDCAMP_URL"` to `outputto "WWW"`

Anyways, bandcamp changed their pages again, so here's updated src files:

Thank you very much for your answer.  
Unfortunately that was not exactly what I meant.  
When I look at the source code of the album page, there is a part:  
`" <script type="application/ld+json">"`  
there URLs of the individual tracks are stored.  
As an example:  
"{"numTracks":19, "track":{"itemListElement":[{"position":1, "item":{"@id": "[https://subterraneanrecords.bandcamp.com/track/aive-veitstanz](https://subterraneanrecords.bandcamp.com/track/aive-veitstanz)", "name": "Aive - Veitstanz","@type": "MusicRecording", "duration": "P00H04M48S"},"@type": "ListItem"}"

and there I would have liked to output "@id", in the example "[https://subterraneanrecords.bandcamp.com/track/aive-veitstanz](https://subterraneanrecords.bandcamp.com/track/aive-veitstanz)".

I have not yet quite figured out how to find and output this data.

Just add this section before or after any of the sections (e.g. `# Bandcamp_URL` and its code) listed below the big `ALBUM` heading. Be aware that some releases do not have track URL's for every track, so those pages will mess up the output of this section.

```
# Bandcamp_Track_URL
gotoline 3
findline "<script type=\"application/ld+json" 1 1
ifnot ""
	outputto "BANDCAMP_TRACK_URL"
	moveline 1

Best 😀  
It works perfect. 👍  
Slowly, but only really slowly, I also understand how the data is found and put together.

I should really take a look at rule expressions.

Thanks again for the quick help.
