Getting a "no entries..." error on titles that should be found as they are in the database of discogs.  
I've tried artist + title // standard search on several albums.  
I've re-installed the latest version of the program / scripts  
Others having the same problem?

EDIT: Switched to pone mod which seems to work fine. I can tag again! ![:music:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/2ba05d1ade5eb0d15fc173be6f717dbe63890a70.gif ":music:")

Hello dano!

Im using your script and have a question.

Got tags from discogs and i want to rename files and folders this way:

[%catalog#%] %artist% - %album% (%year%)$num(%track%,2) %artist% - %title%

Trouble is ... what syntax for %CATALOG#%? ![:rolleyes:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/3a79e8b0b7d169b30216785521d7c6f4f895c421.gif ":rolleyes:")

Dano,

This is a great script and I've been using this the past few days after now taking on the challenge of fully organising my DJ mp3 collection.

Not sure what's happened, presume it's on the Discogs side, but I'm not getting the tracks displayed in the search results? It returns the release details, just no tracks?

Is it possible to get 'release date' tagged? The exact date is important to help catalogue the individual tracks for me.

Also, how could you map the "style" field to the "genre" tag? Generally the trance/dance music is all tagged 'electronic', which is not accurate enough for me. The discogs 'style' field has exactly what I need.

Appreciate your help- thank you 🙂

Same here... It really does make a difference not having your tracks with the art on it - any ideas if we can get this fixed?  
Thanks 🙂

Looks like Discogs has made some changes on their API - when I search using "Release ID extended" for example I only get this:

Hi,

I changed the original Discogs script to use the Script to select by Release ID.  
extract the rar file and copy this in the Script folder.

Thank you very very much!

Is it possible to modify the original Discogs script to retrieve information from the MIXARTIST tag? There I can often find information about the musicians participating in the recording of a given song.
