I have had the same issue a couple of times. I can live with doing it by hand - I just love this component so much  However, maybe you could come with a suggestion as to how this could be implemented? How should the info be written to the file?

For a "multi tracks" track, you could consider adding the data for each field separated with either :

- ";" if this is a field that support multiple values.
- " / " if it doesn't.

That way, you keep the all the info of these tracks. It seems to me that it's just a simple concatenation job with a bit of fiddling in the advanced options for the multiple values support fields, but I'm not the one coding the plugin.

This situation happens quite often when you want to tag electro mixes, and I'm sure I'm not the one who would benefit from the support of these tracks.

Is there an overview somewhere which fields DO support multiple values?

Yes, look at :

tools > advanced > display > Properties dialog

there you'll be able to edit which fields are multi values, multi lines and so on.

check your discogs configuration options (I've had it get reset on me before): right click menu, tagging, discogs, configuration, album/artist art tab

Anybody else not getting a response at the moment? I'm stuck on "Connecting to discogs". The site itself is working.

Not working here either. 

Be patient, this has happened before, and the dev is usually responsive.

Super, bubbleguuumm! The discogs plugin is absolutely basic for me.

Just wanted to reiterate what everyone else is saying. foo_discogs is a cornerstone of my own foobar2000 experience, and the speed at which breakage is dealt with never fails to surprise me (especially considering the state of disrepair of foo_vorbisstream  )

With that, let's return to our regularly scheduled discussion of the component instead of celebration of the fix, shall we?

I'd really like to have your input on what I posted earlier bubblegum (Post #976 & #978). Even a "not interested" would suffice

Thanks for the update.

Not interested because this is a corner case not that easy to handle (and I'm not making significant change to the plugin at this point). In particular the way subtracks are identified for a track is *not* standardized in the returned data. In your example the submitter used 1.1...1.2...  but he could have used anything else.
So if it was to be done, the UI would have to provide a way  to manually indicate which subtracks form a single track.

Fair enough, it's not really a deal breaker anyway but it does happen quite often in electro releases.
