Feature Request: Support for downloading partially-released preorders

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Would it be possible to add support to download released singles for pre-ordered albums? I just pre-ordered this album which releases in June, but has two songs released already.

Would be great if the script could download what's already released, and then download the rest once it is all released. Right now it just skips it altogether.

[pool-1-thread-1] "Nowhere Generation" (2021) by Rise Against is a preorder; skipping.

That sounds fair. But do you know whether in such cases Bandcamp provides a "download URL" for such a partial release? Or does it only provide a way to listen to them in the browser? In the latter case, there is not much the tool can do, as it's purpose is only to use download links that bandcamp provides.

Looking at another album I have pre-ordered, a link to download just the released tracks shows up in my purchase history (https://bandcamp.com/[username]/purchases). Oddly it looks like they don't include it on the actual release's page.
