Bandcamp titles are not extracted in albums, e.g. http://music.businesscasual.biz/album/--8 only extracts the URLs. I want to extract the title but am not sure how to do it.

On this line:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/485047854376465f95309daad4966971f56728ef/youtube_dl/extractor/bandcamp.py#L245
the div with the title is extracted already. I thought about using _html_search_meta, but it seems it only searches for the content attribute and not the actual innerText of the element – I'd like to extract it from the itemprop="name" selector.

bandcamp html:

Is there another way to do this or do I need to extend the beautiful RegExp (still missing a proper HTML parser instead of using RegExp for this...)?

_search_regex.
