I tried, but I couldn't find a way to mass tag many filess at once (for just Genre + Style from Discogs), without having the component pop up a window choice. Is there a way to do that ? And in case no 100% OK result is found, just skip it. ?

just posting to say thanks for this. i, too, have used this plugin nearly every day for years.

harumscarum: i am almost positive that is a foobar issue, nothing that has to do with the plugin.

hi guys, just a little question,

is there any way i can avoid that disocgs-plugin will alter files, when just updating album/artist art into a predefined folder? as i wanna sync my collection with external hdd for backup, but when updating arts, all files get modified dates and syncing would start on whole database again...

Still thankful for your plugin bubbleguuum!
I can't figure out how actually tag values are separated in their field 
let take one album for example: foobars' properties dialog shows genre field as "IDM; Ambient". Same field in mp3tag looks like "IDM\\Ambient". In tag&rename, winamp, explorer - just "IDM". As you can see there are some representation differences among different programs. I've decided to separate that values by simple comma.
Have tried everything i could imagine to do that. I've used "replace value" command with foobars' Masstagger scripts and with mp3tags' actions (something like ";" -->",") - doesn't work.
The only way i see is to set that genre field manually - its not actually so hard, but having a huge music collection it turns to a big routine.
So any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pardon me if it was asked before, but is it planned to make tag mapping configurations and general settings avaible in foobar2000 preferences? It would be nice for such a useful and popular component to get along with foobar a little bit better

I have the exact same need. I would like to pull down the artist image but NOT change my flac tags which are already perfect. Anyone?

hmm, try this:

In the right click menu, under Tagging > Discogs, click Edit Tag Mappings, go through each and clear the check mark for Write tag.

now as long as the Configuration in the same menu area is set correctly for art downloads, it /should/ work. I'm only guessing, though.

*edit* you'll need to clear the check marks on the first tab (Tagging) of the Configuration settings also.

I tried what you said bubbleguuum, it already was set up like that. I clicked on default settings too. but it didn't help. I really can't find a reason why it doesn't work. I tried other hdd's, I tried giving the dll more/other rights. maybe I should just re-install foobar but  I don't want to do that yet...

sorry, but deactivating all "update tags on refresh" didnt work for me, the files still gets altered and disabling all the other features isnt quite a solution, as i have to activate them again for using the plugin in its usual way...

The resolution of album art downloaded is reallyyyy low. Is there any possibility to change that?

Considering it gets the artwork from discogs and discogs has a maximum of 600x600 for uploaded artwork no it isn't going to be possible to change that.

you can delete all art in your backup driver, then change the sync method to smth like "copy files without replacing any"...

if you update artist/album art your MP3-FILES will get altered too, thats the problem! you would always have to backup your complete collection again and again... and thats not pretty useful, when having just added some new tracks to your collection, which should be store on backup-drive.

Hi


Is there a way to add an extra filter definition to the Find Release page? Or could an extra filter box be added , say for Format?

I have a lot of files which I want to tag using foo-discogs , and it seems like a fantastic tool. The problem I have is that when I enter Artist and Title in the filter I'm getting all of the possible formats back from Discogs. This means I have to sort through a very long list every time , when really I just want the CD releases to be reported.

Could a second filter box be added so I can define an additional filter , or is this already possible?

Grateful for any help.

Sorry, if this has been discussed before:

Is it possible to make discogs download the album arts  automatically when a song is played?

Or is there any other component that can do that?

Hi, great plugin, really love it.

I have a bit of a problem with fetching the album art though. When i go through the write tags process, in the release dialogue the album art is not displayed and upon writing the tags, the downloaded file is corrupted and will not display in any image viewer. It is the same file size as one that i download manually.

Clicking on "View Release Page" takes me to the correct release, no problem, however, clicking on "View Album Art Page" results in "Page not found" on discogs.

foo_discogs "View Album Art Page" url - http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=368123
Actual Album Art Page url - http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=368123

Any ideas? I'm very much a newbie at this.


In the configuration panel "Fetch" and "Display preview in release dialogue" are ticked and the directory is set to the default "$directory_path(%path%)".

I'm running a completely fresh install of foobar, on a Win 7 x64 system, and using a static IP address, tried with Chrome and Firefox.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Frogworth, thanks for your quick reply.


I could have sworn i had the most recent version, but obviously not. That has solved the problem with the album art page, however the files it downloads are still corrupted.

Looking at the console, it is giving the following error: "GdiPlus error (GetHBITMAP)".

I've seen on the front page that "GdiPlus.dll" is a dependency.

I'm already using Win 7, but doing a quick search for the file and copying it into the foobar folder has had no effect. I have tried every GdiPlus.dll on my computer, as there were several at different file sizes, but none of them has had any effect.


Any other advice?


Regards

I am having a similar issue to RancidJellyFish above.

The album art appears to be being downloaded from discogs correctly as the file sizes match those on the website, however, the files are corrupted and are not recognised as image files (jpegs in this case) by either foobar or anything else.

The foobar console is reporting :-

GdiPlus error (GetHBITMAP)
Location not parsable: "I:\Music\Genesis\Genesis - Complete Box Set 1970-1975\Foxtrot\cover.jpg", reason: Unsupported file format

My GdiPlus.dll is up to date; I am using Win XP + SP3 and i have the latest version of Foobar2000 and foo_discogs

Thanks for any help.

I think I may have found something out about this problem, but I'm not sure what it means


If you take the blank jpg files that it saves and rename them to .zip files, you will find an extensionless file inside. If you extract this, and rename it to jpg again, it works.

I have no idea what that means, I guess somehow the file handling is screwing up, but they are downloading.

I hope that helps someone. I joined this forum cause this seems like a great plugin and I want to see it succeed

Also, don't ask why I thought to try this in the first place, lol.
