hi,
I want to customizing the discogs script but have no real scripting experience, so I would be really thankful if someone could help me out here.
I would like to put the "Label" info from the discogs website in the "Composer" tag and the "Catalog#" in the "Comment" tag.
There other thing i was wondering about: is it possible to use the discogs script and the information from the website to rename folders, for example:
[Catalog#] Artist - Album (Year)
[CAT 173 CD] AFX - Chosen Lords (2006)
I guess those are really newbie questions but it would be great if someone could help me out here.
Many Thanks in advance, tagwerk

You just have to change e.g.
_outputto "Discogs\_Catalog"_
to
_outputto "Comment"_
Rename folder by tag:

thank you very much for your quick help.
it all worked out perfectly except for one thing:
when i try renaming the folders with the following format:
[%comment%] %artist% - %album% (%year%)
it leaves out the brackets so that instead of:
[CAT 173 CD] AFX - Chosen Lords (2006)
I just get:
CAT 173 CD AFX - Chosen Lords (2006)
Is there any way to fix this or am I just missing something?!
Thanks again.

Maybe you've missed reading the Mp3tag help files in deep.
Read section "Characters with special functionality" at end of the page: [https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting](https://docs.mp3tag.de/scripting)
If the COMMENT tag field is empty and using the above format string, then you will get a result string of " CD AFX - Chosen Lords (2006)"
To suppress a leading white space youe should better code the format string [%comment%]%artist% - %album% (%year%)
If you want to have square bracket in all cases around the content of the COMMENT tag field, then you have to _escape_ the special meaning of reserved characters in the Mp3tag scripting language.
You have to put the single quote around the reserved characters if you want to use them unparsed.
```
'['%comment%']' %artist% - %album% (%year%)
```
It is also possible to _escape_ the complete format string in one step.
```
'[%comment%] %artist% - %album% (%year%)'
```
