When I import the Discogs "Extra artists" field, I get e.g. this: Composed By: Russell, Morrison; Lead Vocals: Ringo; Vocals [+]: Paul I'd like to extract only the composer(s) and get this: Russell; Morrison Of course one can assume that the credits are not always in the same order. Also, "Compo…

Assuming you want to extract from the MIXARTIST field and write into the COMPOSER field: Action: Format Value Field: COMPOSER Formatstring: $if($eql($regexp(%mixartist%,.(Composed By|Written-By|Written By).+,yes),yes),$replace($regexp($regexp(%mixartist%,'.(^|; )[^:](Composed By|Written-By|Writte…

Thanks, works perfectly! :slight_smile: It would indeed be nice if this was integrated into the script. I think many people use this format for listing artists/composers. Out of curiosity, do you know of a way to easily compare the composers listing with other sources, Allmusic in particular? As I…

The only problem is that Discogs distinguishes between extraartists per track and per album. On the release page the latter group is the credits. This means only the composers that are listed as extraartists per track are retrieved. Is there are already an action script available that extracts the …

I know it's complicated. For the new discogs script I'm also trying to get it from both sections. I don't think it will work completely without mistakes, but I'm getting pretty close. I will take a few days until I upload the script. It has got pretty complicated and I have to do a few other things…

Hmm... If I put the actions in a seperate action group and apply the action group to the files (all with CREDITS tag) nothing is written to the composer tag. Maybe I'm missing something... Could you try out this release and see if it works? Thanks again :wink:

There was a typo in my post above. i've written "%composter temp%" instead of "%composer temp%" in Action 3. Please fix that in your action and check again.

Thank you! I think it's now working as you planned've it to: It adds the formatted "mixartist" to "composer" for certain tracks and then appends the formatted "credits" tag for each track. I purposely said "as you've planned it to" because some things can still be improved, although I realize it w…

[image] daanodinot: It mainly has to do with the formatting of "credits". Mostly, Discogs uses a structure like: [artist] (tracks: #-#, #-#), [artist] (tracks: #-#, #, #) etc. or [artist] (tracks: # to #, # to #), [artist] (tracks: # to #, #, #) etc. and probably there are many more variatio…

[image] pone: I have thought about that some time ago, wanted to build that directly into the web script, but came to the conlusion that it is not possible in an reliable way. There are to many variations in the way these track references are written. And not only the track references, also the…

I have no idea how to compare data with Allmusic. As far as I know, it is forbidden to post Allmusic web sources scripts in Mp3tag, because they have complained against scripts running on their page.
