**This Script is Optimized for:**
[iTunes 8](http://www.apple.com/de/itunes/download/)
[Traktor DJ Studio 3.x, Traktor Pro](http://www.native-instruments.com)
[Trakker (file management & track browser replacement for Traktor DJ Studio)](http://rrs.at/trakker/)(very cool App)
iTunes 8 - Now with fully compilations, AlbumArtist support (nice for Coverflow, iPhone, and all other Apple products)
Traktor DJ Studio 3.x, Traktor Pro
Trakker (file management & track browser replacement for Traktor DJ Studio 3.x)(very cool App).
Search by: **Artist & Album and or Discogs Release ID**
Imports: DiscogsID, Cover, isCompilation\*, AlbumArtist\*, Artist, Album, CatalogID, Publisher/Label, Mixartist\*, Genre\*, Country, Date\*, Position\*, Title, Remix, Remixer
isCompilation\*=e.g. you will see your release as a compilation in iTunes / if it is a compilation AlbumArtist\*=e.g. You will see the Album Artist (nice for itunes) Mixartist\*=If the release is Mixed by a DJ you will get it. Genre\*=Replaced by Style for a better searching (e.g. Techno, Electro House) Date\*=I have added a new cool future. We will get the YEAR...  (for e.g. itunes) And now the FULL Releasedate in the format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2008-06-23) Optimized for trakker and Traktor DJ Studio Position\*=Vinyl Site if exists (e.g. A1, A2), Or Track Number if it's none Vinyl Genre\*=Replaced by Style for a better searching (e.g. Techno, Electro House)
**Modifications:**
# 2009-08-03: Version 1.5 / First Release of this Script - tested with mp3tag version 2.42
**Limitations:**
5000 calls per IP Address (per day)/ API (Discogs)
**Known issues:**
If the first "Track" Artist not exists (there can be a problem with the artist TAG)
But.... It is not often that we have this issue. (Check the Artist Tag by reading)
I optimize this script and fix this problem, first i must speak with the developer team.
I recommed for a nice clean Tagging to add this two Actions (not required but you clean your Tags):
**First Action: Delete Tags without:**
```
ALBUM;ARTIST;TITLE;TRACK;PUBLISHER;DISCOGSID
```
**Second Action: Tag to File**
Note: Change with your Driveletter mp3 Path.
```
$if(%isCompilation%,:\Labels\\%publisher%\$if(%album%,%album%\,)$if(%POSITION%,'['%POSITION%']' ,'['$num(%TRACK%,2)']' )%artist% - %title%$if(%remix%, (%remix%),),:\DJs\$if(%band%,%band%\,%artist%\)$if(%album%,%album%\,)$if(%POSITION%,'['%POSITION%']' ,'['$num(%TRACK%,2)']' )%artist% - %title%$if(%remix%, (%remix%),))
Result:
Output (non Compilation): DJs\Artist\Album\[A1] Artist - Title (Remix).mp3
Output for Compilations: Labels\Label\Album\[01] Artist - Title (Remix).mp3
A1 = Vinyl Positon, 01 = Track Position (none Vinyl)
```
**For updates i Will edit this first post.** Happy tagging. 🕶
