[WS] Discogs (pone mod)

Please read what I have written above:

"The scripts isn't working at the moment. Please wait for the update."

Can't recall how to separate and add the Word "Notes" and Companies in my credit field. Currently I have all tags going to credit, but want to keep them separated like so:

Creditsā–¼

Bass – Abraham Laboriel
Engineer – Greg Venable

Notesā–¼

Recorded 1980 at Britannia Studios, Hollywood, California. Mixed at Producers Workshop, Hollywood, California. Mastered at Mastering Lab, Hollywood, California.

Companiesā–¼

The problem is when I update to a new script it wipes it out -since I don't do it often I can't recall where to make the changes in the script. Is there a way to modify this when updating my script.

Thanks

You can combine those fileds if you give them the same field name AND if you use the same fieldname for DISCOGS~PONE MULTILINE FIELD.
When you combine them, the words "Notes:", "Credits:", "Companies etc:" and "Barcodes & other Identifiers:" appear as headlines in the DISCOGS~PONE MULTILINE FIELD..

You can sepperate those fields if you give them different field names. In this case there won't be no headlines for the different fields.

Why have your settings been "wiped out"? Have you kept your old settings mp3 file? Your settings are stored there.

Note that the script is not working at the moment.
Update coming soon.

When about to wait for updating the script?

Maybe today.

Please take your time, pone.

as always,

Update 3.21

NEW:
You can combine Label + Catalog# and Series + Series# into one field now.
To do so, just enter the same field name for DISCOGS_LABEL & DISCOGS_CATALOG# or for DISCOGS_SERIES & DISCOGS_CATALOG#_(SERIES)

FIXED:
The scripts were all crashed when Discogs introduced some strange translations for certain categories at their page. Now all scripts work again.

FIXED:
After last month's changes at discogs, the "tracklist for DJ sets in one file" showed the track length in the line of the extra artist instead of the line of the title. This led to a mistake when you genereated cue files. This is fixed now.

KNOWN PROBLEM:
The "Creat Cue Sheet" action has still some problems with releases with mulit-song-tracks. I don't know when I will have time to look into this. The action which creates cue sheets is rather complicated, and this problem is a very special case.
Has anybody stumbled about it yet?

Thanks for the update.

I have an issue with this release: http://www.discogs.com/Unbalance-Unbalance3/release/3246208

Publisher and catalog are not seperated. Maybe it is because of the brackets in the publisher name.

That right, thanks for reporting!
so:

Update 3.22

FIXED:
The replacement of the numbers in parentheses at label names had a little bug
(OPTION: LABEL (2) --> LABEL). Now it works again.

How to update the script to the new version is not throwing my own setup script that I have done ? then to the new script to not set.

  • Keep your old setting mp3 file! Delete the new one!
  • Move the new .mte & mta files to your Mp3tag folder
  • Action: Discogs Pone>Update Settings Mp3 File
  • Action: Discogs Pone>Create Scripts

Thank script works, only stopped prescribing tag "Series", put a dash - instead of the serial title and disc number by a dash

  • How to add a tag "page of information on audio files" "(the name of the field " WWW AUDIOIFILE ") ? - tag matches with the tag "www" (on the release information on www.discogs.com) ?

I have an new thing there for you.
Just noticed that it doesn't work jet with cetrain settings.
Wait a minute. I will do another update and explain it to you.

Update 3.23

FIXED:
There was a problem with conflicting settings when you had different fields (label, series, catalog#, series#, genre, style) to write only the first value form discogs.
(TEXT OPTION: MULTI ...: MULTIVALUE TAG (= YES)/ONLY FIRST (= NO)/SEPERATE BY: (WRITE CHARACTERS)
This is fixed now.

@TGK:
To have the Series together with ther Series Number in one field, you have to use the following settings now:
DISCOGS_SERIES = series
DISCOGS_CATALOG#_(SERIES) = series
At all four fields:
TEXT OPTION: FREE WEB SOURCES SCRIPT CODE FOR ... SCRIPTS = "no"

This works better as before now. You won't get a dummy " - " for releases without a Series.

it works, thank you

hi all.

first i want to say thanks for that awesome mod. its so easy to handle the media organisation. many, many, many thanks for this great work

:w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

so but i have a lil problem too. i have the fiel

TEXT OPTION: MULTI CATALOG#: MULTIVALUE TAG (= YES)/ONLY FIRST (= NO)/SEPERATE BY: (WRITE CHARACTERS) .....yes

selected and it doesnt work. its only copy the content to the first field...

and can i add individual fields with the same content like in catalog #?

i tried to add a field call Album_ID with a modded version of catalog# in the end.

thx for your help and keep on this awesome work

It works. I use it myself.
The problem is most probably the behaviour of Mp3tag with multivalue tag. I guess you get outputs like "cat01\\cat02"?
That's all a script can do, as for some technical reasons which I don't fully understand, Mp3tag is not able to write a multivalue tag field with a web sources script.

There are two quick ways, to transform "cat01\\cat02" into a correct multivalue field:

a. (the method which I used until recently):
Press Ctrl + S after running the script. That additional saving process transforms "\\" into a multivalue seperator.
You have to display the all fields with mulitvalue tags in the tag panel to transform.
And you have to do it for every album seperatly. I works only if all files have the same values in tag fields which should become multivalue fields.

b. (the method which I use now):
Make an action group that seperates your fields:

Action: Split field by seperator
Field: CATALOG #
Seperator: \\

You can combine more actions (one for every tag field) into one action group. I my group, there are three actions, for the fields: GENRE, PUBLISHER and CATALOG #.
That method has the advantage, that you don't have to display all fields in the tag panel, and you can process that for different albums in one go, as it doesn't matter here if the fields have the same values or not.
If you use the "&" character in for a action group's name, you can make it controllable via keyboard short cuts.

You can copy the value of one field to another. But that writes the same value into both fields, no matter if multivalue or not. To do so use:
DISCOGS~PONE COPY 1 SOURCE = catalog #
DISCOGS~PONE COPY 1 TARGET = Album_ID

If you want to get a modded value of one field into another or more fields, you would have to use the TEXT OPTION: FREE WEB SOURCES SCRIPT CODE FOR ... SCRIPTS fields. But those need some knowledge of Mp3tag's web sources script syntax.

so many smilies from mr hofmann, that will give me interstings dreams tonight :smiley:

Post in German moved here.

hi again,

thx for that nice intruduction in the extendend pone mod. i tried the source / target copy function and works without any probs. many thanks. so i am a bit sorry for asking this stuff. when i would spend some more hours testing, perhaps i could find this solution by myself.

and a little addition. i delete all contens with multiplay contens...like a release from the same album from different labels. i only keep the main or bigger label...the other doesnt matter :rolleyes:

so again many thanks and keep on the good work :w00t:

PS: its hard to sleep when you visited dr. hofmann, isn't it? :rolleyes: :music: :rolleyes:

so you could also select:
TEXT OPTION: MULTI LABEL: MULTIVALUE TAG (= YES)/ONLY FIRST (= NO)/SEPERATE BY: (WRITE CHARACTERS) = no

This would always give you only the first label. So you would not need to delete one of them manually. But if you want to choose yourself which one you want to keep, you have to do it like you do it now.
