- Win7 x64
- MP3Tag Version 2.52 (run as Administrator)
- Script version: 4.unifinished 4
- Clean Install of Mp3Tag + no other scripts - I just copied the Pone Mod script folders into the MP3Tag profile folder.
- No edits made to the script.

And I have the same problem....

If I use the standard Discog Action, the Discog info is displayed correctly, and all the relevant tag fields are populated.

But, if I use the Pone Mod Action, the Discog info is displayed correctly, but none of the tag fields are populated...

Love your script! And would love to get it to work 🙂

@crispinr

Is tested your setting file. No problem with that. It produced good src files which worked perfectly.  
I guess you have have made some mistake in the installation proccess of my script. Repeat step 7 of my instruction in the starting post and make sure that you have highlighted only the setting mp3 in Mp3tag when you run that action group.

Thank you for your quick response! Yes, I misunderstood the instruction at step 7.

This is the extra step for what is needed, in case others have the same issue (I'm sure experienced users understand this - but maybe for new users like me ) 🙂

1. Move the Discogs Pone 4 Web Script Settings.mp3 file into the Mp3Tag profile folder.

> Run the Mp3tag application.

> Change the directory (CTRL+Q) to the Mp3tag profile directory (eg C:\Users[profile name]\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag)

> Click on [Discogs Pone 4 Web Script Settings.mp3]

1. This will load the Discogs Pone Web Script Settings.mp3 into Mp3tag.

2. ▼ Run this action group: Discogs Pone\>Update Settings Mp3 File.

3. Open the Extended Tags Window and edit the tag-field values of Discogs Pone 4 Web Script Settings.mp3 to customize the script.

4. ▼ Run this action group: Discogs Pone\>Create Scripts .

5. Change the directory to your music folder to operate the script on your tracks.

Thanks you very much for your hard work pone. Could you show me again how to just have the first discogs cat# instead of all of them? You did show me before, but I am unsure how to change the current script.

i.e.

(Discogs Cat#1) (album) track# - Artist - Track.mp3  
not  
(Discogs Cat#1\Discogs Cat#2) (album) track# - Artist - Track.mp3  
which is the default setting

As you can see, currently the divider used is "" which creates another folder for each aditional catalog# ☹

Many Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want the first cat# only for the filename or for the id tag?

Hi pone. I'm still using the modified version you made for me a while ago to retrieve year only (it also automatically selects the earliest year), but something has broken and it no longer works. I know this is extra work for you, but I'd be really grateful if you could take a look.

Guys, please tell me, i can write with this script info in title from featuring string of discogs?

Thnx.

</div>

The script writes those names into the MIXARTIST field together with other track credits.

You can configurate it to write only the featuring names into an extra field.  
But not into the TITLE field, that doesn't work. (At least I think so, you can try it). If it doesn't work, I would recommend to write them into an extra field and move them into the TITLE field via a format value action after using the script.

For more help, please give me a example URL of a discogs page with those featuring credits.

I cannot quite figure out how to modify the Discogs Pone 4 Web Script Settings such that track numbers are written as they were in version 3.

Specifically, current behavior is that for vinyl releases, tracks include the side. (E.g., track numbers may be A1, A2, B1, B2.) Instead, I would like the track numbers to be purely numeric, that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

Any way to adapt the settings? (Again, I looked at the script but couldn't figure it out myself.) Thanks in advance!

Have you succesfully changed anything in the script so far? The instructions are given in the starting post of the topic (step 6).  
And: "To change the options of the script at any time, reapeat steps 6 & 7."

For the tracknumbers:

- open the settings file
- go to "TRACK & DISCNUMBER"
- answer the option there with yes/no according to you liking.

sorry, the manual is the part which is unfinished 😉

I almost forgot how the dublicate works, had to read the script code to find it again. But it's simple:  
At OTHER FIELDS & OPTIONS there is the following line:

- dublicate fields: \>

edit this line to:

- dublicate fields: \>ALBUM=ALBUM\_ORG\<\>DISCOGS\_FORMAT=DISCOGS\_MEDIATYPE\<\>CATALOG#=ALBUM\_ID\<

That's it. All in one line. The "code" for this is: \>source1=target1\<\>source2=target2\<.... as many fields as you want.

i finally figured it out. i had to remove "TRACK" from the line

"Trackposition (as written on discogs page): \>TRACK"

in order to get the track numbers to be written as desired.

just fyi, i found this a little unintuitive. i also find your default setting strange. by default, you write stuff like "A1" or "B2" into the tags, at least for vinyl and cassette releases. this isn't standard-conform. at least for mp3 it isn't. the id3v2.3 (as well as 2.4) standard says the following about the TRCK frame:  
TRCK  
The 'Track number/Position in set' frame is a numeric string  
containing the order number of the audio-file on its original  
recording. This may be extended with a "/" character and a numeric  
string containing the total numer of tracks/elements on the original  
recording. E.g. "4/9".

this means it's not supposed to contain letters.

in any case, i'm glad i worked it out. and please don't take this small criticism personally. i certainly wanna thank you for the pone mod, overall it's doing a terrific job for me.
