Problem with Discogs Tag on FLAC files

Hi!... I'm looking for any help. My problem is i cant tag properly FLAC file from a vinyl when im trying to convert to FLAC smaller files. I've upgrade foobar2000 and download discogs last plugin version but it doesnt work. The problem is after find the album version i was looking for i click on "write tag" and it seems it works but when i check tracks properties it still remains as it was before or does not fullfil all the or information it showed back in the preview tag windows on discogs plugin....

I've been checking all the preferences on foobar2000 and plugin configuration but nothing seems to be wrong, i mean i doesn't change nothing there except the format file i want as destination.

Im using foobar2000 1.4 and discogs plugin 2.14 versions on windows 7 32bit, i add this photos step by step so you can see what im doing and see whats wrong.

As you can see in picture 03 id tag is filled with many information about the album or tracks, like discogs catalog, but after clicking on write idtag it doesnt appear at all on tracks properties so when i convert files they has only basic information like title,track and album name. What im doing wrong?


Thank you so much in advance.

Your issue isn't with the Discogs component. The file you are tagging is a cuesheet (.cue) and foobar2000 doesn't support arbitrary metadata fields with it. The format actually doesn't even support everything foobar2000 allows you to do with it, but there are limits to the abuse foobar2000 allows.

I recommend converting the image to actual separate tracks and then you can tag it as you wish.

...or, if you really need to use image instead of separate tracks, you can create image with embedded cuesheet. In this case fb2k will allow to write any tags to image.
