DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID problem

Support

Is there any way to get this value from Discogs into a field in mp3tag? For example, I would like this field to be populated with the artist_id value from Discogs when I use Discogs as a tag source in mp3tag.

Thanks.

Yes.
You have to adjust the used discogs.inc or discogs.src websource script text file in your Mp3tag configuration subfolder \sources.
If you open this file, you will see that this is unfortunately not an easy change that you can make in a couple of seconds.

(A Websource Script is parsing the result answer from Discogs and tries to catch the exact position of such a field and assign it to a tag like your proposed artist_id.)

Hi all, long time user first time posting.

I tested my changes on quite a view albums and I thik I got it working ok.

Here I made the changes:

  • Discogs Release ID.src
  • Discogs.inc

There was

# Discogs_Release_ID
outputto "DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID"
json_select "id"
sayrest

which I "extended" to

# Discogs_Release_ID
outputto "DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID"
json_select "id"
sayrest

### Discogs_Artist_ID
outputto "DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID"
json_foreach "artists"
	json_select "id"
	sayrest
	outputto "DISCOGS_ARTIST_ID"
json_foreach_end

Hope this helps someone and if I missed something important, please let me know.
(Could be a good idea to call the field DISCOGS_ARTISTS_ID, just for nameing consistency?!)

Cheers
