I use foobar2000 which can show every custom mp3 field you want.
Another option would be to use COMMENT for this information (it's called track index at discogs).
Go to "OTHER FIELDS & OPTIONS" and write:
Track Index: >COMMENT
Or you add it to the ALBUM tag field with an mp3tag action.
Format Tag-Field: ALBUM
$if(%chapter%,%album% '('%chapter%')',%album%)
I thought I would have built some option into the script to combine Album and Track Index into one field. But I can't find that now. If there is a purpose for that mybe a can make an update.
But I guess I won't find the time
No sorry.
The track number format used here isn't covered by the "discogs pone/tracklist for albums with multi song track" script.
I won't have the time to debug this. Especially because when I try to do this, various other track numbering format would be read wrong.
I remember eliminating things like "-", "CD1" to avoid redundant information which is sometime given as track index at discogs.
I don't know why it leads to a problem here. Maybe I find the time to look into this
Everything works fine, except for certain search criteria which results in a 401: UNAUATHORIZED.
I have followed all previous steps with regards to [OAuth] etc.
For example, perform a standard search for the following.
P.O.S. Gravity (Original Mix) = 401
P.O.S. Gravity = 401
P.O.S. = 401
POS = No 401, but not finding relavent results.
The discogs ID that I am trying to get a result for is : 363202
Essentialy, whenever there is a period (.) (hex code 2e) in the search query, my search will fail. Maybe this is an issue some others are reporting with 401's, not realising the period in the search query is giving them this error.
PS. Awsome script.
PPS. Would be cool if there was an option to specify the Genre seperator in the .mp3 settings file - ie pone gives 'House\\Trance\\Techno' - i Prefer 'House / Trance / Techno'
I did manually do this for anyone interested, with the following code change (but would be nice as a settings option)
Your 401 problem is a known bug. Maybe a find the time to fix it. I help myself by replaceing special character with white scpaces.
Can somebody give me a list with the characters that are giveing proplems in the search bar?
For your second problem:
Have you looke into the "GENRE & STYLE" field in the setting file.
You have the standard setting which looks like this:
Genre: >GENRE
if more than one genre:
- only the first >no
- multivalue tag field >yes
- list of names >no
- seperating characters used in list >,
Style: >GENRE
if more than one style:
- only the first >no
- multivalue tag field >yes
- list of names >no
- seperating characters used in list >,
______________________________________________
Help:
You can combine Genres & Styles in one tag field if you use the same name.
you want:
- only the first >no
- multivalue tag field >no
- list of names >yes
- seperating characters used in list > /
The problem is that at this release, none of the pictures are tagged as "primary image", which is the normal attribute for a cover picture at the discogs API.
I don't know how the website is showing the correct picture.
I think I won't have time to look into this as I don't know how to start there, sorry.
I also have no solution for you second question. It's no possible within the framework of Mp3Tag's web sources.
I thought I was the only one!
Having the same issue
Darn it, I even deleted my pone/joker mod completely and reinstalled... which didn't help.
I wish MP3Tag would work with Discogs out of the box (same style as pone mod).
EDIT: IT'S WORKING AGAIN!
Apparently there was a problem with the Discogs authorization. I opened MP3tag, tried tagging via Pone/Joker mod and now I was asked to enter the authorization code. Browser opened, I logged in on Discogs.com and allowed permissions for MP3tag.
I'm having the same problem again, I was asked to enter the authorization code at one point, did it, it cleared but I'm still getting the same error, these entries from the pone are not connecting:
[PreviewUrl]=https://www.discogs.com/release/%s
[AlbumUrl]=https://api.discogs.com/releases/%s
This has to be a Discogs API issue as I'm randomly able to connect only not able again a few moments later, I don't know why this doesn't seem to be more widespread.
Thank you very much for this script, which I have installed just now. I am but a novice at this, so could you please help me to change something in the script, or wherever else such a change is needed:
Currently, the GENRE & STYLE tag is written with the double backslash "\\" employed as the separator, thus:
"Rock & Roll\\Southern Rock\\Rock"
Up to now, I have always used the comma as the separator. Where, and how, do I change this to suit? I looked, but did not find a related entry under the Extended Tag Fields.
I appreciate any, and all, asistance you can give.
Looking to modify the script to simply provide me the Genre and Style combined into one field seperated by \\ (that I can adjust later if need be)...I have tried manipulating the existing script however with little success as it still catches other tags including album art that I do not wish to adjust..? Can someone assist as I am not very well versed in Notepad++?
Ron_Mark,
I originally used the Discogs(pone mod) script to merge Genre and Style and add other tags to my collection, but recently I decided to separate Genre and Style because I didn’t like all the genres produced by the merge. Modifying the pone mod script to only do Genre and Style looked difficult, so I modified the Discogs Release ID script to obtain Genre and Style from Discogs. I think you can use a modified version of that script to merge Genre and Style. I made my changes using Wordpad. After saving the script I had to rename it to remove the .txt extension and made sure the saved file had a .src extension. If you are still interested, I can modify my script to see if it will merge Genre and Style.
