Perhaps it's just me, but since discogs went all HTTPS, it's been really slow.
It's working, because I did the updates, but the speed has become positively glacial.
Is it just me, or is this something others have found as well?

Once I deleted the cover read script it's been flying, its useless to me as I edit all my cover art.
I'm sorry - how do you do no.2 on this list?
Close MP3tag
Search the location of the script on the mass storage.
Open it with a plain text editor like the Windows Editor.
Use the search/replace function of the editor.
Save the modified file
Start MP3tag.
Perfect - thank you
Concur on this - once I knew how to edit the script, it breezed through at the old speed. For some reason the cover script had been uploading a blank file anyway, so not having this is better from my point of view
Not working. Every occurrence of http replaced with https. Logged of, logged on on website. Haven't seen any request from MP3TAG for a token or so. OAuth error. Discarding my current mp3tag.cfg is out of question.
Any ideas?
Every time I switch ip or reboot my PC I have the re-authenticate with Discogs now, is there anyway around this or is it the new normal? It's pretty annoying.
Regarding covers, its mentioned earlier in this thread ... but for those too lazy to jump back 2 pages, delete the old cover section, then add this to the bottom.
json "ON"
json_foreach "images"
json_select "type"
if "primary"
set "coverurl"
json_select "uri"
outputto "coverurl"
say "http://cache.mp3tag.de/coxy"
sayregexp "(?<=.com).*"
#sayrest
endif
json_foreach_end
The earlier thread has an extra parse for the cover if its not primary, but this is good enough for me ... thanks go to the poster of this!
Anyone know how to get the "genre/style" to replace "drum n bass" with "drum & bass" using regex (i couldn't figure it out and gave up quick) but i've been annoyed with discogs ever since they changed it!
If you mean on the discogs website, this happens to me too ![]()
Luckily my browser has my username / password cached so its not too painful.
I do this in the actions script.
[#33]
T=5
F=GENRE
1=$if($eql(%STYLE%,),%GENRE%,$replace($replace($replace($replace($regexp(%STYLE%,^('['^','']'*)','?.*,\\\\1),Drum n Bass,Drum & Bass),Breakbeat,Beat),Breaks,Beat),Dubstep,Bass))
this replaces Breakbeat, Breaks with Beat and Dubstep with Bass alongside Drum n Bass with Drum & Bass.
Have I only getting info from discogs problem?
Hard to tell as you do not say anything about the problem.
Perhaps it has something to do with this thread:
Discogs HTTPS
Pone Mod stopped download some fields like:
ALBUM ARTIST
ARTIST
DISCOGS_MASTER_RELEASE_ID
and track No.
Still downloaded fields:
ALBUM
BARCODE
CATALOG #
COUNTRY
YEAR
DISOCGS-RELASE-ID and DISOGS-URL aren't working, too.
Not long and this script will stop working at all.
I wish pone would come back. ![]()
I applied the https and cover fixes described in the previous pages to the export files. So you can change your config settings in the "Discogs Pone 4 Web Script Settings.mp3", and regenerate working script files.
Follow the directions in the first post, but after Step 1., replace the "export" folder extracted from the zip with this one. Then continue to Step 2.
Or, if you already have it installed, you can go to %appdata%\Mp3tag\ and replace the "Discogs Pone Create" files inside the "export" folder with these ones. Don't replace the whole folder! There are other files already in "export" that need to stay there. Then follow steps 4-8 on the first page.
Use at your own risk! I don't completely understand how the scripts work. I tested most of the generated "search by" scripts, and they seem to download covers and all tags. If they erase all your music files and your computer bursts into flames, don't complain to me. Make backups, and wear sunscreen.
export.zip (47.8 KB)
Quick check, seems to be working fine.
All missing fields and covers are downloaded.
Great Job. ![]()
Thanks.
Does not work.

I followed the instructions on the first page of this post but i am not getting the expected results. My files have fields: Title, Artist, and AlbumAritst. I am trying to add Album and Genre. Here are the steps I have taken if someone is willing to walk me through this I would greatly appreciate it.
It sounds like you're adusting things in the Tag Panel on the left. Instead, you need to click the "Extended Tags..." button in the toolbar. That pops open the tag editing window, and in it you'll see a lot of crazy-looking text. Choose one of the fields and click the "Edit Field..." button, and another window pops up. Then you have to try to figure out what all the options mean. It's not so user-friendly.
But I didn't see any options in there, where you can say which fields you want changed, and which not. Maybe there's another way in Mp3tag, I'd also like to do that. So far I haven't figure it out, but I've only been using it a couple of weeks...
