please help me to let foo_discogs to download artist art to separate folder for example f:/images/artists/ALBUM ARTIST and create folder from %album artist% automatically on art download
i guest it all could be coded in Configuration - ArtistArt directory


That would be difficult as there are different artists with the same name (eg. Kiss (1), Kiss (2), ...).

You could use Biography View for the same purpose. It downloads pictures from last.fm and can be configured to write all files with %artist% as filename.

It's the same here. I'm in good hope, this will get fixed soon.

The discogs plugin is excellent to put your music collection in multiple orders just with a few clicks.  Especially friends of electronic music get access to an enormous catalogue of artists and releases.

I have the same problem today.  It's really disappointing that the "API" is dependent on the layout of the main site, since it seems like the implementation of the new artist pages broke the plugin.

There's a bug from discogs: the response on artists queries is invalid.
I've notified the site so it should be solved soon.

Let's hope it will be solved soon as the discogs plugin is the best one for finding correct information about artists tracks and release year.

Y'all know the workaround though, right?
Open up the Discogs dialog, search for your artist. You get the artists list anyway.
Double click on your artist, which opens up the artist page on Discogs.com. Select the release you want (not the master release), copy the Discogs ID (the number at the end of the URL), and paste it into the "Release id or url" field of the dialog (I guess that implies you can copy and paste the whole URL).
Then you're all good to go. Hit Next, check details, tag your files.

Thanks!  That works great.  Hopefully this is a simple fix that won't take the developer long.

its not the only thing that got messed up, as fetching artist art isnt possible anymore (artists dont get id in url anymore, only plain name)...

This is a useful hint but it's only a temporary solution. I hope the plugin will be fixed soon.

Hello everybody,
i have a quastion:


it is possible that foobar will automatically replace discogs symbols é on e, è on e, à on a, ç on c, ü on u, ö on o, ä on a etc ?

Hi. This plugin is the greatest thing since heated food, however, I have a small problem. I name the downloaded cover art with "%album artist% - %album%" because some of my folders have multiple releases in them - but it seems that the Discogs plugin has a different conversion scheme for forbidden characters than foobar itself. All forbidden characters are converted to _ (underscore) which makes it impossible for the foobar cover view to find the image.

From the File Operations documentation:

    * Beginning in 0.9.6.4, symbols which are invalid in folder and file names such as / \ |: get replaced by a -, * gets replaced by x, " gets replaced with '', and ? < > get replaced by an _.
    * You may want to consider using $ascii() or $ansi() to sanitize the names when applying file operations.

Until this is corrected, I will continue using $replace(%album artist% - %album%,/,-,\,-,|,-,:,-,*,x,",'''',?,_,<,_,>,_).

Also, foobar crashes when the Discogs component tries saving a cover with a path longer than 255 characters. This is a bug that should be corrected, but actually, Windows allows path up to 260 characters as the "c:\" and the ending null character is not included.

I would suggest that the Discogs component cuts off everything after 259 characters (from before the ".jpg") and that foobar cover display learns to do the same when looking for cover files. (By the way, how to suggest this to the respective developers?)

May I also suggest that Discogs write album info to those of selected files that are outside the match-list in the component window. Sometimes one wants to add some extra track (maybe a web-only track) to a release that doesn't show up on the track-list from Discogs. So it doesn't match up with a particular track on the list to the left and doesn't get tagged at all.

I would like such a track to get all other info besides title and discogs_original_track_number (and vinyl track) (and artist for compilations). In my opinion it should have the real next tracknumber and have totaltracks the same as the original release to mark the track as extra.

I would like to see track time along with search results.

Dear bubbleguuum, are you aware of crashes from foo_discogs?
My foobar has been occasionally (but often enough that I notice) just crashing for no reason, while doing nothing.
I did the online check thing, and the only component I have that came up is version 1.25 of this component, which has had multiple reports of crashing.

Just letting you know. I certainly haven't had any cases of crashes while actually using the component. I'm on foobar v1.1.1, not one of the betas.
