Hi.
I would like to know if it's possible to tag albums with GENRE and STYLE only using Discogs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

see e.g. here:
> [@Map Discogs STYLE tag to GENRE](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/map-discogs-style-tag-to-genre/48890):

> Is there a way to change the Discogs tag source so that it writes Discog's STYLE field to the files GENRE tag and does not write the Discogs GENRE tag to the file at all. I find the Discogs STYLE tag much more useful and detailed so it would be great if I could have that automated instead of having to do that manually! Thanks
or here:
> [@Easy way to add or update genre to existing tracks](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/easy-way-to-add-or-update-genre-to-existing-tracks/49288):
>
> I have music without a genre tag or with incorrect genre tag. Now is tehre easy way to let mp3tag find the correct genre based on the title , artist , album infomation, and let mp3tag replace or add the genre for the new one. It would save so much time if that could be automated and get a more genre to the songs.

Thanks for your reply.
I found the solution in this [Forum Thread](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/map-discogs-style-tag-to-genre/48890) you provided which suggested editing the discogs.inc file.
This was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again for your help.

Another question in addition to the above:
Is it possible to fetch Discogs genre & style tags from the master release only without picking a certain release ?
Every album on Discogs has a master release without label and catalog #.
Here an [example](https://www.discogs.com/Funkadelic-Maggot-Brain/master/16158).
This goes for all the albums listed on Discogs or at least 99% of them.
Thanks in advance for any feedback regarding this issue.
