I updated the sript (v2.1).
I changed my media player. Before I was using WinAmp, now i use foobar2000. I did so (besides of library search speed, which took over ten seconds in WinAmp due to the enormous size of my audio collecton. now it's one or two seconds) because foobar2000 seems to support every tag you want. That's of course what I dreamed about using a script which writes all discogs information in tags. Now I can see them all in the media library. But my media player change has also led to some changes i made in the script. So here's a update.
-
I shrinked the heavy lyrcis section the script had before. Now only Discogs Credits and Discogs Notes are writen there. Before there was also the a repetiton of all other tags and the full tracklist. I kicked the repetitions because I don't need them with foobar showing all tag. And I kicked the tracklist because it led to too much search results with foobar. (Foobar scans the all tags for search, including lyrics. WinAmp scans only a few without lyrics. So with foobar i had displayed all tracks of a compilation when I searched for one artist who had a track on it. This was pretty muddled when I searched for artist present on five or more compilations.)
-
I've added the tag %album artist% again like in the original scipt by dano. It has exactly the same information as the Band tag in it. I had deleted it before because it is not supported by WinAmp. I included it again now because it is the standard tag in foobar2000. Even if I changed my foobar settings to "band", I want now both tags to be flexible to every media player.
-
Different genres are now seperated by ";" instead of ",". This enables foobar2000's Albumlist to list one album under differnt genres instead of a compound genre.
NOTE:
An additional saving after running the script is necessary for getting correct multivalue tags. Without an extra saving, the genres are in one tag and separated by "\\". So you have to press Strg + S after running the sript.
(the problem is discussed here) -
I also did a minor change in the script due to changes at discogs.com because the old version wasn't working any more since December 2009.
EDIT:
Please tell me if anyone is using my script. I won't upload any further updates if I am the only one who is using it.
@ forum moderators:
Dano has suggested to change the name of the scipt because "Lyrics" is confusing. But I can't change the name of the thread. Please change it to "Discogs Pone" or "Discogs Album Search + VA, Pone Mod" (or whatever you like). Would be a good idea.
