streaming random music from bandcamp by specified genre subgenre inspired on https://github.com/strizhechenko/bandcamp-player

bandcamp-player-evo ["genre"] ["sub genre"]

Genres can be found on the bandcamp homepage. Slashes spaces and &'s in the genre name should be replaced by dashes (hip-hop/rap becomes hip-hop-rap r&b/soul becomes r-b-soul, field recordings becomes field-recordings). If a certain genre subgenre combo does not work, bandcamp-fetch gets you a random album from the "all" category. You can enter "" as the second argument in order to play from all subgenres of that genre. This equates to "all-genre"
