Discogs everything

Hi everyone,
I am te new with mp3Tag. It is what I dreamed of for editing and searching music information.

Lets go now in this topic.
I went on the source files to see what was wrong with this scripts and Discogs. Most errors just come from a gotoline 1, just replace it by gotoline 2, and sometimes there is trouble with saynextnumber, replace it with sayuntil """. I saw also a trouble with a do while.

I went also to those posts:
/t/5171/1
/t/5390/1
/t/1992/1
/t/5275/1

I get some trouble finding artists or albums with accentued characters with the script on this topic. I get more results with the scripts at /t/1992/1 but it doesn't import all tags. In conclusion I updated several scripts.

*ext5.src
These files are a compilation of both scripts.
discogs_artist_ext5.src (11.4 KB)discogs_artiste_title_ext5.src (11.5 KB)discogs_album_ext5.src (11.5 KB)discogs_release_ext5.src (11.2 KB)

  • There are no years in the results. I went on discogs to see if we could get different search results. Apparently not, even with the Rest API http://www.discogs.com/help/api.

  • I removed the numbers with artist names. Maybe that could be done for other tags with regexpreplace " (\d)" ""

  • I added utf-8 support to get better results.

  • I added some fields:
    "wwwaudiofile"
    "Comment catalog number" /used by tag&rename

New *ext4-original.src files
These original src files have been updated and corrected
discogs_album_ext4_original.src (11.3 KB)discogs_artist_ext4_original.src (11.3 KB)discogs_release_ext4_original.src (11.1 KB)

  • I added utf-8 support to get better results.

  • I added some fields:
    "wwwaudiofile"
    "Comment catalog number" /used by tag&rename

  • There is still an error message with artist without releases

Conclusion

  • mp3tag is great.
  • I have waisted time with the do while loop because of a poor documentation
  • url encoding function could be a great addition [added]
  • parse or urlencode/urldecode for [SearchBy] could be a great addition [added]
  • you should use several scripts to find results
  • How could I put several pictures via src files ? I couldn't find tag name for multiple covers !!!!

See you
