i'm working on that and other things. script update today
Oh thanks pone.
Much appreciate it! 
UPDATE: Discogs Pone Mod 4.2
FIXED: workaround for discogs' new API authentication for cover. thanks freak for the workaround.
FIXED: problem with releases without covers. thanks FreaQ for pointing me to that.
FIXED: the search results didn't show if covers were missing because of changes at discogs.
KNOWN PROBLEM: there is a problem with special characters at the searches which combine different tag fields. I can't find a way to encode the characters to url-utf-8 without encoding the "&" between the values.
If someone has a solution for that, please let me know.

Thanks a lot, works perfect now! 
Hey, pone
What exactly are differences betweeen "primary names" and "name variations" and how should one use these functions properly?
Edit:
Also how do I change // to commas?
I thought I did change it by changing this:
But it has no effect?
At Discogs, a artist primary name is the main spelling version of an arist name (= artist alias), variations and abbreviations of that are called artist name variation.
An example from your last.fm profile
ATB ist the artist primary name
A.T.B. and atb* are listed as name variations
You can use these as you want. With artist name variation you always get the spelling which is used on the real release (CD/Vinyl/File/...) from which you tag your mp3s. With artist primary name you will get allways the same spelling for the same artist, which is comfortable in media libraries. You can also write both names in two different tag fields. (for example ARTIST and ARTISTSORT).
Your second question:
set:
- multivalue tag field >no
in the setings you posted above. The rest is correct. Make sure that there is a space after the comma in the settings. Can't see that in the screenshot.
Thanks!!
But now I'm confused by the multivalue tag as it clearly does not do what I thought it does lol...
What is true meaning of multivalue tag?
Hello Pone,
I was not able to work around the discogs covers since they changed, so I installed your script for the first time... But still no covers are showing up?
I have no idea what to do.
Is only the cover missing or the other infirmation too?
@moshi:
You have to do an extra step for seperating the values
Do a forum search on that or wait until the eveningevening
No, all the rest of the info shows up, just the cover isn't there...
My bad, everything works fine. Thanks so much!
a multivalue tag field is one tag field whith multiblle values
e.g.:
ARTIST = Run DMC
ARITST = Aerosmith
instead of:
ARTIST = Run DMC feat. Aerosmith
multivalue tag fields can't be written diretly by Mp3tag's web sources scripts.
Read here how to deal with them: [WS] Discogs (pone mod)
Another problem is that not all mediaplayers can handle them correctly. Some display only the first entry, some don't show the correct result if you search for something like ARTIST IS Run DMC, instead of ARTIST HAS Run DMC
Okay thank you!!
Hi there,
I'm running Mp3tag on OSX via Wineskin, works great but I'm stuck at step 5 ("5. Run this action group: Discogs Pone>Update Settings Mp3 File.") in the installation process of your (awesome-looking) script. Basically, your actions don't appear with the default ones.
Maybe a simple path issue?... As my "profile folder" is on a virtual C:// disk (whole path is User/Applications/Mp3tag.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files).
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot,
Adrien
Make sure that you keep the folderstructure of the zip file:
.mta files go to AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\actions
.mte files go to AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\export
If that doesn't help, the problem lies most probably in your Wineskin installation. I have no experience with that, but you should find out where your own .mta and .mte files are saved, when you save an action group or an export in Mp3tag. Then put my files into these folders.
@Pone I know that I shouldn't probably post it here but due to some reason I am not able to private message you. I posted on the iTunes mp3tag script discussion thread a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a response. I am quoting my post here please have a look at my original post there.
"Sometimes the script doesn't retrieve metadata for all the songs in a album. For example I tried getting metadata for the album "I Hate Luv Storys". It has 8 songs but when I click on it I only get info for 7 songs. I have tried changing country too. And have checked on itunes site also. All 8 songs are listed there. I have attached the version of scrips I am using. Please fix this if possible. BTW thanks a lot for this script. This is exactly what I was looking for. "

Hi Pone! Thank you for the great script and your work on updating it. Question: I've installed script 4.2 and now all artist names come with comma at the end. What I am doing wrong? I'd love to fix it, but can't see any options, since updating mp3 file which comes with script through it's extended tag editor - gives you lot's of options and none of them worked for me. Any hints? Please help! Attached is a screenshot of my issue. I hope you can help me
I also have noticed this problem, but it's only for very few releases as far as i have seen.
Anyway, i haven't had time to look into this problem. Maybe at the weekend.
You could help me if you post the links to a few releases where this happens for you
No worries, will do. I was just sorting my collection and updating tags, and the first one is on picture. Will collect all links and send it to you then. It will take some time. But anyway, really appreciate your time and efforts! Thank you
Hey! What is this "-none" at the end here before tagging from Discogs page?
And as you can see on the Discogs page under Companies etc, no "-none" is there.
http://www.discogs.com/Al-Corley-Square-Ro...release/1477980
Also, what does "delete extra fields from main section" mean under Extrafields?
And would it be possible to add "-with headline >yes/no" to Album credits section?
Right now it looks like this but there is no need for that "Credits:" to be there if it's already in DISCOGS_CREDITS field.
