As many of my plugins this one grew in my interest in its solution :-). I  
like quite a few of the artists on bandcamp.com, have alread bought a few  
albums before I even knew they had an API.

One of their conditions to get a dev key for the API is to link back to  
their site. Showing the album URL on the player doesn't make much sense,  
but it's one of their conditions... As the artists on bandcamp.com are  
mostly independent artists, I think it's worth supporting them by buying  
their work if you like it. All I've found so fare provide lossless flac.

Enjoy! As you said: I don't have much time to spend on it. I squeezed a  
few nightly hours in to it to get something started. Their API isn't very  
rich yet either (for the tag search and browsing I'm scraping their web  
page once again...). But please feel free to post your ideas and comments.  
There will be a time when I've caught up with my sleep, and I'll spend a  
few more hours working on it :-).
