Title: EAC and Discogs
Post by: Beta2k on 2021-04-26 21:56:54
I want to rip a CD with EAC. I just created the Discogs entry for the CD. Still, EAC does not find the Discogs entry. Since it's a compilation it's quite laborious to tag everything manually again in EAC. I just did it to create the Discogs entry.

Hence my question: Is there a way to tell EAC the Discogs release explicitly?

In MP3Tag there is an option to provide the direct Discogs release that should be used for tagging. Using MP3Tag after ripping is not an option for me. I need the proper tags in EAC.

Thanks!

AFAIK, the CUETools Database (CTDB) Plugin is the only option for Discogs metadata.

CTDB replicates and stores metadata from Discogs about once a month. The plugin never contacts Discogs directly.
