[WS] Discogs (pone mod)

You can load the directory of the file via Ctrl+D, load the file via right-click "Mp3tag" from Windows Explorer (if you have the Explorer context-menu extension installed) or just drag'n'drop the file from Windows Explorer.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the search lately?

Yes, it's acting weird. Sometimes it does find albums, but then you get a different album displayed, or it cannot find an album, which is clearly there.

Totally missed this response months ago...if this option is still viable please let me know?

Ron_Mark,
I want to be certain as to what you want. The Genre tag would contain the genre and style data from Discogs with each genre and style separated by \\. For example, if Genre had multiple values of Pop and Rock and Style was Vocal, you would want Genre to be Pop\\Rock\\Vocal. Is this correct?
Do all of your albums currently have Genre and Style separate? If so, I would think there might be an action to combine them, but I'm not very good using actions. It doesn't look like my script to separate Genre and Style can be edited to combine them, but I should be able to create one that can combine them.

Would be interrested in seeing the script as I have tried to do this myself and it did not work out as planned...however it would seem that the PONE scripts are acting a little odd?

yeah, not only the "original" Pone script, but also the changed script by Jokertest. I think the Discogs API is to blame ? Maybe they changed something ?

yet the Discogs script that "ships" with MP3Tag seems to work just fine for now anyway...

Yes, you are correct about that, that one is working, at least with the cd's I tried now. :slight_smile:

I haven't used the Pone script recently. I'll see what I can do for the Genre & Style merge script, and I'll probably PM you when I have something. I know you want to see a modified script, but I did create actions to merge Genre & Style into the Genre tag and then remove Style from the Style tag.

Hi,

Does anybody has a solution for the latest problem with the pone mode ?
Only search that unchanged fully works seems to be by the Discogs_ID ...
Thanks-a-lot and have a nice remaining Sunday.

Br,
Chris

It sometimes works... but most of the time, it comes back with strange results, or no result at all. And if you click on the preview link of the album, you will see even a different discogs page. with a different version of the track, or a complete different album.

Same here. I'm using Discogs Pone # Direct By URL now.
So I search for the album on discogs, then paste the URL in MP3Tag.
It's faster for me then the old standard search even.
Standard search and the others should be fixed though...

The options is grayed out mate what can i do here i am really keen to get this going

You must have at least 1 file selected.
Notice that most of the tool bar is greyed out when the file list is empty.

Thanks for the reply and yep i got that sorted but now I face an even bigger problem.

I am new to using this software and have followed the guide written exactly as it was stated on the first page.

Any idea on how to get round this issue?

Thanks

I'm having this issue as well. Until yesterday it was all fine and I didn't do any update so maybe something with Discogs?

Maybe this helps:

Problem solved ^^ thanks so much

shoot, no idea what I did, but now pone is not pulling any tags from discogs anymore, I still find the releases by ID, but the tag review screen is pretty much blank, same as the file tags. any idea what I might have done to cause this anyone? :slight_smile:
