Am I mistaken, or does foo_discogs still fill the Album artist field every time, instead of just when necessary?

My album art is saving as folder.jpg which is fine but is it possible to have your artist art filename saved as %artist% e.g. Jimi Hendrix.jpg instead of e.g. 123456.jpg that i usually get?

I've been having the same problem, but it all seems to be working again now (touches wood)...

Is there any way of manually emptying the cache at the moment? I have the same problem as a previous poster, that the discogs data from before my corrections is still being given when I load up the release.

Thanks,
Will

Try removing your foo_discogs from components folder, use foobar on and then turn it off and then throw component back in. Worked for me sometime ago.

Well, I can't get it work. It must be something to do with new discogs.

The plugin was working great for me this afternoon (around 2pm PDT), but did not work around 5pm PDT and hasn't worked since.  I get an error similar to "Could not connect to server" but the discogs site is up.

Hi, do you think it would be possible to update XML parser also in old 1.13 version for us who still sticks with FBK 9.4.2 ?
That would be fantastic, because this plugin is essential for me and i don't want to skip to 9.6 now....

The Discogs server is returning a HTTP internal error on any API request, so we need to wait for them to fix it.

IMHO it is not Discogs "error", but they changed XML structure, so we will need new foo_discogs update. Let's wait for the author comment...

There's one problem I have with this awesome plug-in, and I'm not sure if its intentional, a bug or just foobar itself. Whenever I fetch information for a release, it SOMETIMES doesn't show the edit. Like, the progress bar will show that's it's doing something, and when I check the folder I saved it in it clearly shows that the tags have been edited. Eh, I feel like I'm not really explaining myself properly. Here are some pictures:



It seems to do this whenever it feels like it. EVENTUALLY, when I update it, it'll work and the new ID will show up just fine. Another weird tidbit, when I play the song, the fetched ID shows up but when I stop it or play a different song, it goes back to its before-fetched state.



It's not too bad of a bug or whatever, it's just really annoying.

Can we have:

A resizable window

A more logical layout of discogs data and tracks data - one scrollbar for both lists, make it obvious what the Renumber Tracks combo boxes are for (changing them seems to have no effect - or maybe they have an invisible effect; not good UI design!  ) or maybe you should have a grid arrangement, where the columns are: Disc#, Of, Track#, Discogs Artist&Track, Local Artist&Track: MoveUp/MoveDown can be used to reorder either of these last 2, but number columns are fixed.. Your combo boxes could be used in conjunction with a selection highlight and it would then be obvious they were doing something..
Grids are better than independently scrolling lists because they more clearly display an association between data elements on the same row

Support for mashup albums: example http://www.discogs.com/Cut-Up-Boys-The-Mas...release/1649809 - these discs do not have (in total) 97 tracks. The 1.01A and 1.01B are the same on-disc track mashed together. Plugin will need to parse the A B C D etc and offer artist names of:
1.01 - Last Rhythm / Club Junkies Feat. Kid House  - Last Rhythm / Two Can Play That Game (Acappella)

Maybe make the format of these to be selectable? I mean, I can see how it makes sense to have them ina  DISCOGS_ARTIST_MULTI tag, but if I just want it formatted in some way in a plain old ARTIST tag, choosing the format would be good!

Thanks for a great plugin!

Hello.

I'd like to make a feature request. I's nothing complicated.

I would like to see the Discogs release field "Format: " written to my files.
I have plenty of folders with releases that have the same album title and only differ by the type of media they were released on.
Often I have the album and the single. Both share the same album title.

Using the foobar2k "File Operations" plug-in such releases will be thrown into the same album folder. If I could read the Discogs format field I would be able to check if the album is a single, 12" or vinyl and append this to the album folder name.

Hope you can add this.

Oh, and, I thought it was a foobar no-no that a plugin opens a modal window when performing a long operation. When discogs is writing tags it blocks the UI.. freedb tagger doesnt block the UI when writing tags

UI could be better yes, but I hate win32 UI work so I won't be updating this.  add to the fact I don't work actively on it anymore as it is "good enough" for me.
Renumbering is used for multi-disc releases, to renumber tracks of disc 2, 3, ...

Requested many times but not possible as track numbers is a free field in discogs db. Users when submitting to discogs can number track foo1, foo2, bar3 if they want so.

Use a custom tagging script if you want to rewrite some tags from others. (don't remember if it is installed by default)

Same problem.


this was supposed to be used with an album art panel that would know how to load %DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID%.jpg. Maybe one day...

Already possible: enable "write"  for "Format" in the "Edit tag mappings" dialog. It is disabled by default. Then you can use %DISCOGS_FORMAT%

Possible that it may not use the async API, code is old, I don't remember.

jexxer, it already does this. Right click an MP3
Choose DISCOGS menu
Choose EDIT TAG MAPPINGS

In the list on the left we see Format
On the right we see this is written to a tag of DISCOGS_FORMAT but the WRITE TAG box is NOT TICKED by default


Change it to another tag or alter your foobar file operations to use the DISCOGS_FORMAT tag. DOn't forget to tick it to be written

If I created one, would you consider putting/adding it in (user selectable which UI)? I've got a few other ideas for features

I finally worked it out.. jolly confusing because it initially appears to do nothing but I get how it works now, after deleting and moving a few tracks on the discogs side then pressing the button again

Might be something the UI can do, maybe select N number of tracks at once in the discogs list and press a Mashup button and it will mash those tracks. Repeat for all tracks on a disc.
Or have a few patterns for the track numbers selectable by the user..

Either way, I'd have a crack at it as a feature of the UI something like Renumber Tracks:)



Thanks for the feedback!

A new version with small tweaks

1.20
-----

- find release dialog: populate search artist text field with eventual leading "The" at the end => "Beatles, The"
- find release dialog: added button to clear the filter (quick way to display all releases)
- find release dialog: added button to clear the release cache. Useful when submitting/updating discogs data and tagging at the same time
- find release dialog: fix: not possible anymore to instantiate this dialog several times using accelerator keys, leading to crashes.

serious problem here!

have been using foo_discogs very satisfying for the last years now, but since 2 weeks i'm having serious trouble with it. first problem is, its not fetching all album- or artist-images - getting the "discogs error: release id=xyz: problem connecting to discogs.com"-error. and i just found out, that it doesnt fetch any information from discogs at all now. window of "write tag" opens up, but stays empty - no matter if i use "auto" or not and on which files... even manually filling the artist-field doesnt effect anything - list stays empty! status-windows pops up very short, but nothing else happens.
before doing a clean windows 7-installation everything worked fine. i already opened all ports and protocolls for foobar.exe in windows firewall. i disabled windows firewall-service and i removed foo_discogs.dll and its settings - without success... fetching complete release infos i didnt use for the last days, but after installing foo_discogs 1.20, hoping that it could solve my problems, it still doesnt work. now the question is, is it related to the same conflict (windows 7), that it doesnt fetch infos nor art or is it a new problem with version 1.20 (that it doesnt fetch infos)!?
i dont use any 3rd-party firewall, antivir, e.g. . same network as before (when it was working) only new windows 7 installation and now version 1.20.

PLZ any help appreciated!!! (i dont use parent-control-software, as it was mentioned earlier on connecting to discogs-problem - at least i dont know of it yet  ) any other thing i could/should disable in windows??? thx i.a.
