Select subset of tracks from album, Command-I, provide Discogs release ID, a few seconds pass, no release information displays but Merge/Save buttons become active. The only thing in the Tag Source window is the list of my selected tracks in the lower right hand pane.  
Discogs Release: [m819008]  
Mac OS: 10.15.7  
Mp3tag: 1.7.1 (72)

Thanks for your detailed report. Mp3tag only supports importing via the Discogs **Release** ID and not the Discogs **Master** ID.

All IDs starting with **m** are referring to master IDs, whereas IDs starting with **r** are referring to release IDs.

If you look at the [detail page](https://www.discogs.com/master/819008-Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Walter-Kraft-Complete-Organ-Music-Of-Johann-Sebastian-Bach) of this master ID, you see a couple of actual releases at the bottom of the page, e.g., [r3768078](https://www.discogs.com/release/3768078-Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Walter-Kraft-Complete-Organ-Music-Of-Johann-Sebastian-Bach).

What can I say? Sloppy work on my part! 🙂  
I would suggest, as I’m sure you’ve already considered, a diagnostic message indicating that only release IDs are supported. It would help out poor souls like me.
