Hi,

Firstly, massive props to everyone involved in this software. It's really great work you're doing!

I'd like to know if something is possible with the script framework. I have a bunch of purchased mp3s but they don't have the "Publisher" tags filled in. I would like to fill them in with the record label that they were released on. However, I don't want to change any other tags - just the Publisher one.

I know that Discogs has lots of this info and I found a script that almost does what I want. It searches discogs with the Album name from the tag, then I pick the Album that looks like the one and click next. Then I have to read the Publisher field, remember it, then close the box and manually enter it by right-clicking on the track, looking at the extended tags, and adding a new tag for Publisher. It's taking me a very long time at the moment and I wondered if there's an easier way.

If I click next again (rather than closing the script window) it fills in all the tag fields from Discogs, but this isn't what I want to do. The only one I want to change is the Publisher one.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks, Alex =]

use my script & follow my script installation & usage instruction:  
[/t/9226/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/9226/1)

at step 6 of the instruction, do the following:

- set all _DISCOGS\_..._ & _DISCOGS~..._ fields to **no** , set only DISCOGS\_LABEL to **publisher**
- set _OPTION: DOWNLOAD COVER ART_ to **no**
- set _TEXT OPTION: FREE WEB SOURCES SCRIPT CODE FOR STANDARD SCRIPTS_ to **set "tracks"**

then my script will do exactly what you want.

EDIT:  
I just noticed, that if you set all field to **no** , the script search doesn't work find the tag from the files any more.

So you should leave also _DISCOGS\_ARTIST_ or _DISCOGS\_ALBUMARTIST_ and _DISCOGS\_ALBUM_ to their standard values. And maybe other tags you want to use for search (possible with my script: _DISCOGS\_YEAR_, _DISCOGS\_CATALOG#_, _DISCOGS\_RELEASE\_ID_, _DISCOGS\_RELEASE\_URL_)

To have them still not written, set _TEXT OPTION: FREE WEB SOURCES SCRIPT CODE FOR STANDARD SCRIPTS_ to  
**set "tracks"  
set "artist"  
set "albumartist"  
set "album"  
set "year"  
set "catalog #"  
set "discogs\_release\_id"  
set "www"**

(You have to write it in extra lines as I did above .You only need those fields there which you have not set to **no** before)
