Missing Composers from Discogs Tag Source v3.31k

[johnemc]

I've been using the new Discogs Artist + Album Tag Source provided in 3.31k. I really appreciate the ability to import COMPOSER .
I found a couple of instances where the results don't match the web page. I'm not really sure if these are issues with the API or the web source, or perhaps just edge cases:

• Composer from the Credits section for specific songs is applied to all songs:
  • Result: Michael Been, Jim Goodwin (2)
  • Song Track & Title: 1 "Everywhere I Go"
  • Credits:
    • Producer, Written-By, Bass, Guitar, Lead Vocals – Michael Been
    • Written-By – Jim Goodwin (2) (tracks: 2, 8)
  • Discogs Listing:

Unfortunately, I can't interpret the track numbers from the credits section and distribute the artist names to the respective tracks.

What I'm doing instead now is to use the composer names including the tracks, so for your example this would result in

Michael Been, Jim Goodwin (2, 8)

Discogs ID 5904517

Thanks, I'm now combining the track-level and release-level composers, so that for your example it would result in

Joe Grushecky, Bruce Springsteen (1-1 to 1-15, 2-1 to 2-15, 3-1 to 3-3, 3-5 to 3-7, 3-9 to 3-12)

It now also removes the disambiguation numbers. Here is the current version of the Tag Source for you to try:
