Download files in lossless format about bandcampdownloader

[Otiel]

Hi,
Unfortunately, Bandcamp does not offer to stream the music in a better quality than 128kbps mp3. As BandcampDownloader is simply retrieving the streamed files, it cannot download files in a better quality.

As for the converting the mp3 files to a lossless format, I don't see the point. You would just end up with a larger file (FLAC or ALAC), but with no more quality than the original MP3. Is there any particular reason you would like to convert the MP3 to a lossless format?

Thanks for the reply. I guess my main reason for my wanting lossless formats is just for consistency with the rest of my library and because I prefer lossless files, although there really isn't any base to my wanting them. I'm just a crazy perfectionist. Thanks anyway for your program and just ignore my dumb request.

No worries, I understand the need for consistency and perfection. 😃
Thanks for the kind words anyway and do not hesitate if you have another feature request!

Sorry for opening this issue again:
How about albums I own on bandcamp?
Would adding a credential feature to this and downloading things I own on bandcamp in the highest quality offered be in scope for this tool in the far future?

Please open a new issue to track this request.

I'm not saying "no" right now, I'll have to see if it's feasible and what efforts it requires.
