I don't know if this has been answered already, I tried searching without results. How can I set foo_dicogs to save artist art using artist name instead of artist id as filename?

I have to small questions/requests,

1) Would it be possible to merge divided tracks ? For example, this release http://www.discogs.com/release/331851 has the seventh track divided in two parts. It would be much easier to merge these 2 tracks so that you don't have to remove one of the two, renumber the whole album and then properly tag track 7.

2) Another nice thing would be the retrieval of the disc name like in this release http://www.discogs.com/release/1082005 . The album has a definite album name ("Balance Issue N. 12") but each cd also has its own name (eg. "Orange Disc", ...). Adding this information in a discogs specific tag or custom one (%discname% for example) would allow more tagging flexibility.

I'm sorry if these questions were already asked and if you already took some of your time to answer them.

usual track seems like this:
Code: [Select]
<position>2.01</position>
<artists>
<artist>
<name>Onur Özer</name>
<anv>Onur Ozer</anv>
</artist>
</artists>
<title>Orion</title>
<duration>6:32</duration>
</track>


"CD name" looks like this:
Code: [Select]
<track>
 <position />
 <title>Red Disc</title>
 <duration />
</track>


here is 1 way to identify %cdname%:
just find <track> with empty <position> & <duration> tags... if they are empty => it is %cdname%

but i think it is logically hard to realize algorythm that will add tag %cdname% to all tracks following %cdname% in xml...

------
about part 1. divided tracks... yeah  its hard to tag this tracks
in my mind i look only 1 algorythm:

in tracklisting, multiselect by hands divided tracks (for example select track 7a and track 7b, and then press some "megre key"..

so all selected tracks will be deleted, and in list will appear some new track that will contain megred %artist%,%title%,%credits% tags...

but it will hard to realize i think too...

i have a question about handling of the album art. apparently foo_discogs is fetching *all* available album art from discogs for a release - the problem is that it also fetches the *disabled* album art. is there a way to only fetch the *active* album art?

here's an example:
http://www.discogs.com/release/53134

if you watch the pictures via "Update Release Images" on the right (you need to be logged for doing this) you can see there are 3 active and 3 disabled images for this releases. foo_discogs fetches not only the active ones but also the 3 disabled ones.

Not sure if it was requested.
I would like to have "wipe out existing tags", pretty much like in freedb tagger.

Cheers.

I try copying a url and the release id into the "Release id or url" box, and i always get this error:

"discogs error: release id=44443: XML API error"

Didn't work for 1.12 and still doesn't work when i upgraded to 1.13

You mean your problem with release 44443 ? It works here...

No, i get the same error message with ANY release. Are there other software i might need to get discogs working? It worked on my old pc although it was an older version of discogs. But it doesn't work on this:

XP SP2
e4300+
2gb crucial ballistix
gigabyte ds3

I suspect you may have a firewall blocking traffic. Try to disable it temporarily to see if it works then

Would it be possible to add to this plugin the ability to search info by track title instead of by album?

foo_discogs

Reply #544 –
I've always thought that it would be nice to do something similar but for artists instead of tracks;  like the ability to pull all of the artist-specific data (bio, artist art, artist ID, ANV info, etc.) without any release-specific data and apply that metadata to all of the files in your media library belonging to that artist.  I think that would be helpful to normalize all releases by the same artist without having to do it one release at a time.

hi,

anybody out there still using/maintaining this great plugin? seems that it is not working properly any more.

it appears that the tags are written correct and they show up in foobar, but when i check with another tagging software (for example tag and rename) or i use with my sandisk sansa, some or all tags are missing.

sometimes, it just writes ID3v1 tags and only parts of v2 (for example in release 1300930).
sometimes it writes parts of v2 but no v1 at all (1317255).
in other cases v1 is ok but tag & rename (i used for checking) shows chinese and other kind of characters in the artist field (1225795).

i think there are some more different symptoms i do not list them all.

i'm using foobar 0.9.5.5 and discogs tagger 1.13 on a win xp system with ntfs.

all in all a very weird behaviour. can somebody confirm this or has some advise? thanks in advance.


greets mob

strange... as i imagine, foo_discogs use foobar's tag writing mechanism...
try re-check this:

Tags won't be written if the option "ID3v2 Writer Compatibility Mode" is enable in your fb2k conf

Exact, this must be enabled. It will write ID3V2.4 tags. If you want to convetr to V2.3 so it ios more  compatible with other software and digital players, use mp3tag to rewrite the 2.4 tags as 2.3.

It appears as though this component is compiled with an old version of the SDK. The SDK version you're using could be causing some random crashes under Windows Vista. If you could update to the most recent SDK that would be greatly appreciated.

Yup the SDK I'm using is very old, it's in need of a recompile a probably a source release.
