About 50% of the albums I rip end up being labeled "Unknown". I don't know why that is, since they are mainstream Classical albums, but often they are newer albums and so perhaps they haven't been tagged yet. In any event, I then import them into Mp3Tag to add the meta-data.
How can I import the meta data from Discogs into Mp3Tag so that I don't have to type each and every field? If I access Discogs from within Mp3Tag it rarely, if ever, discovers the album. And so I have to log onto Discogs website external to the mp3tag app. How, then, do I get this data into mp3tag?

Which of the many scripts to get data from discogs have you tried?
Search by album? by artist-title? by release-id?
If you have already found the release-id I would recommend the script that uses that id.

Mp3tag uses a search query to get data from Discogs. So you'd at best provide both artist and album which will give you a list of potential results.
As @ohrenkino pointed out, search by Discogs Release ID would definitely give you the correct result. It's the number in the upper right corner on the respective Discogs release page, e.g., `11473597` for [https://www.discogs.com/de/release/11473597-Nils-Frahm-All-Melody](https://www.discogs.com/de/release/11473597-Nils-Frahm-All-Melody) .
And you don't need a Discogs account for the Mac version of Mp3tag.
