Hello

Tag Sources -\> Discogs Artist + Title uses value from "Albumartist" not from "Artist" to fill the fields in the followup Pop-up.

could you please  
a) change "Discogs **Artist** + Title" into "Discogs **AlbumArtis** t + Title" and / or  
b) implement a function : Discogs _Artist_ + Title" that uses _"Artist_" from the underlying file/files

reproduce

1. mark file with a left mouse-click
2. Choose Tag Sources
3. Chose Discogs Artist + Tilte
4. have a look at the value of "Artist" in the pop-up

thanks

If you open the text file  
`Discogs Artist + Title.src`  
in your Mp3tag configuration folder -\> `\data` -\> `\sources`

you can see that this was explicitly changed  
` [2019-11-11] v1.01 CHG: changed to use album artist instead of artist if present`  
for some reason.

The currently used command on script line #17 for the search is:  
`$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)`

If you really want to change that, just copy this entire file and change the name as you like it. If you want, you can change the search part to  
`%artist%`

thanks again

Ich kann Dir das einfacher auf Deutsch erklären: 😉

Du musst diese Datei ans richtig Ort kopieren. Den "richtigen Ort" findest Du, wenn Du im aktuellen Mp3tag v3.12 auf den Menupunkt Datei -\> "Konfigurationsordner öffnen" klickst, darin den Unterordner `\data` dopplklickst und öffnest und darin wiederum den Unterordner `\sources` doppelklickst und öffnest.

Sobald ans richtige Ort kopiert, zeigt Mp3tag diese zusätzliche Datei in Tag-Quellen an.

ist für mich auch einfacher \*zwinker  
danke der Tip mit dem Konfig-Order hat gepasst

super ! danke !

for the english speaking people:  
I searched via Windows-Explorer and copied the file in the wrong DIR.. so

1. Open FILE and choose "Open configuration Folder" then navigate to subfolder \data\sources
2. there you can copy and Edit the files
