Mp3tag has been great for getting tags from Discogs (or musicbrainz and freedb) into the mp3s of my vinyl collection for display in Windows Media Player. However, the Composer column in mp3tag remains blank, even though composers are shown against the tracks on the web page for the relevant Discogs …

see e.g. here: [image] Writing Composer Tag from Discogs info? Support Hi, Newbie Here. I've been using MP3Tag for quite a while but am probably only scratching the surface of what it can do. However, I'm running up against a brick wall with this issue. I've searched the…

It's not supported yet in the standard script, but you can get it with the pone script: [image] [WS] Discogs (pone mod) Broken Web Sources Yes I had an error in these two searches. Try this update Discogs_Pone_Mod_4.4_update_2020-08-26.rar (48.3 KB)

Ah, thanks, I think I'll try that, despite my inexperience with scripts. I see the pone mod thread has instructions at the top. Should I follow these substituting the newer "...2020_08_26.rar" file for the zip file originally referred to?

Yes exactly. But if it is too complicated here's the "compiled" scripts. I also changed the settings so some Credits like Composer go in their own field. pone-sources-with-Composer-tag.rar (102.9 KB)

Hmmm... 7-zip says it cannot open either of those files as an archive.

Updated my 7-zip and I can open the compliled one, so hopefully that'll do it!

I'm sorry to be a real newbie, but I've extracted the pone-sources-with-composer-tag rar, which gave me a bunch of src files which I put in the mp3tag profile folder. Running mp3tag again, I see no new "Discogs pone" option in the Tag Sources menu, which I thought is what would happen. I have no set…

Hey - I figured it out! Put those src files in the sub-folder called "sources" and it works. Many thanks. One more question... Is there a way to only fetch and write tags for one field (say the composer) whilst leaving all other tags unchanged?

The only thing you can do is edit the src files (with a text editor) and write these commands at the very end: set "title" set "artist" set "album" ... set "fieldname" for any field you don't want.
