**[WS] Bandcamp v0.5.0**: search by name is back

Bandcamp's search page now needs JavaScript, which Mp3tag can't run, so since 0.4.4 this source could only look things up by URL. 0.5.0 adds a `Bandcamp Search` script again: search by artist and album name, with release dates. It goes through [Mp3tag Proxy](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/71557) (v2.8.0 or later), a small tray tool for Windows that asks Bandcamp's own search and hands Mp3tag a plain results page.

[Bandcamp-0.5.0.zip](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/short-url/xlG1vvYogQDapXVinD6eKMVWn1H.zip) (6.7 KB)

New compared to 0.4.9:

- `Bandcamp Search` by artist and album, with release dates. Needs the proxy running.
- Settings to leave albums or tracks out of the search results.
- Full date YYYY-MM-DD for `YEAR` and the highest quality cover are now on by default. If you liked them off, untick them in the settings.

Without the proxy, 0.5.0 works just like 0.4.9, only Bandcamp Search won't find anything.

To install, unzip into your sources folder (`%APPDATA%\Mp3tag\data\sources`), replacing the old `&Bandcamp#` files, and restart Mp3tag.

Thanks to @yorickausyps, who got me onto Bandcamp in the first place. 0.5.0 is built on his 0.4.9, with @Florian's results parser from 0.4.3.
