My biggest problem with tagging isn't finding a tag source. It's finding WHICH SEARCH HIT IS THE RIGHT ONE. The simple solution is to add a search column showing the number of tracks. So search -\> discogs artist + album might yield 25 hits. Now, I have to click on each result to see if that's the one I need. If I have a 15 track version of an artist-album, and I see only two of the 25 hits with 15 tracks, I have saved a huge effort. 90% of my time using mp3tag is wasted searching for the hit with the right number of tracks.
Thanks!

> Is it possible to add a column for total track count in Discogs results? I see another post indicating this info is not available in the initial search results and only when you choose a specific release, however it is from a few years back. Any chance this feature has been added to the Discogs API since? Thank you!

May not be perfect, what I have come up with, as I'm a newbee on this scripting
And yes, one will still have to click on the results and maybe back multiple times… so not perfect there either, but I'm okay with that.

> Did some testing -- FVI: first time ever with WebSource scripts This would be nice to have in my opinion, but it's not doable as far as I can tell: Still, I like having the number of tracks on a disc inserted to my tags. FreeAC does this for me when I'm ripping CDs. It does count the tracks per disc and not per Album, of maybe 3 discs with 20 tracks each and that is howI like it! Now, when playing with the Discogs API and the file (\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\sources\Dis…

MusicBrainz is maybe better for that, I'm aware
but in my work flow it comes after Discogs
EDIT:
Also like this kind of information

Oh you are right-- guess I'll have to switch to MusicBrainz!
