## What it is
BandcampDownloader is a Windows desktop application (WPF, C#) for downloading albums and tracks from bandcamp.com as 128 kbps MP3 files. It adds ID3 tags, cover art, and playlist files to organize downloaded music.

## Use cases
- download albums from bandcamp
- save bandcamp tracks as mp3
- add id3 tags to downloaded music
- download cover art and playlists from bandcamp
- listen to bandcamp music offline in my player

## When to choose
- you use Windows and want a GUI to grab freely streamed Bandcamp MP3s
- you want automatic tagging, cover art, and playlist file generation
- you want to download from album, track, or full artist pages

## When to avoid
- you need lossless or paid-format downloads - it only fetches the free 128 kbps streams
