Description
Most albums/releases on Bandcamp come with a short descritpion/synopsis just below the track list. It usually comes directly from the artist/label and provides some interesting background album info and additional metadata. Example: https://ostinatorecords.bandcamp.com/album/sweet-as-broken-dates-lost-somali-tapes-from-the-horn-of-africa
It's easy to access too, through tags:
<div class="tralbumData tralbum-about" itemprop="description">and<div class="tralbumData tralbum-credits">Youtube-dl provides options to extract descriptions and annotations for multiple sites, so having similar support for Bandcamp albums (=playlist format) would be a welcome addition.
