when an artist discog is downloaded it is only grabbing a few or around 70% of the titles
yet selecting the ones missed and downloading them individually unticking download the artist discography seems to work
NB , this only seems to happen when the artist has a lot of induvial remixes on their music discog
using link gopher to grab the tracks individually will download them all, but not with the download artist discography checked.

running win 11
downloader 1.4.1

Be sure to check the individual album pages for that particular artist/label and see if tracks are actually available for streaming, because sometimes some artists make only a couple or a few tracks available for streaming while they make other tracks available only if you buy the full album (Sometimes they leave a couple tracks "unstreamable" labelled as "Bonus Tracks" only available if you buy the album digitally or exclusively on Vinyls or Cassettes, for example). I encountered this before and thought something was wrong with the app, but turned out it was this problem. Otherwise, you might be right about that issue.

Thank you , I know that can be an issue , Ive run into it before and been able to work it out , however this isnt the case here.

a great example is the bandcamp page cratediggers90 , they are all individual tracks , about 150 of them
If i use Link Gopher , to grab the Urls , it will download the entire catalogue , howver if i just tick download the discog , it will only grab about 30 of the available tunes.

Oh yeah now I understand you. You're right. I tried downloading them now and it only grabbed 16 of the albums, leaving the rest of the 188 releases. So I can confirm that this issue exists for me as well. I guess the easiest way around this until we get a reply from our dear developer for now is to paste the links manually as you mentioned above. You may want to attach your ".log" file (exists in the same folder as the app's ".exe" file) as the developer asks for them when we report an issue.

Actually now I remember encountering the same problem a few months ago and kept copying links for some time in order to download everything. I only came here yesterday to see if I'm the only one encountering a different problem, which is that the app recently stopped functioning altogether on Windows 7. I hope both our issues get fixed soon.

@wondergirlAmazon @mcn333 You could try yt-dlp, it supports Bandcamp.

yt is a little complicated with bandcamp.

btw the DownThemAll extension works but only with the purchase emails if you go to the "download your purchase" link and filter all the links on that page with */download/album/*. For me this was great because I just purchased the entire discography of Deep Dark & Dangerous which was like 429 albums
