I cannot reproduce this on my end. Both of the albums you linked worked fine for me. The issue you mentioned was a thing in a very early version of the script, but this has been fixed since version 1.1.2. Are you on an old version maybe?
D’oh, you’re right, I was. I’d downloaded both an old version and a new version, but only moved the old one to the sources folder. Curse the inability to keep the first post updated with the current version!
Thanks, all working well now!
I had an issue where if a tracklist was tagged "English (Official)" instead of "English", the extension would not find it and skip to the next best thing, so either Romaji or Japanese. (example : https://vgmdb.net/album/47373 )
So i created 3 new tracks metadata :
VGMDB_TRACK_NUMBER_ENGOFF
VGMDB_TRACK_TITLE_ENGOFF
VGMDB_TRACK_DURATION_ENGOFF
All 8 tracklist checks now have the ability to find "English (Official)".
My modifications are on version 2.6.2-20250323
Track language priority order is English (Official) > English > Romaji > Japanese
If GiFuJo wants to incorporate and do a version bump, be my guest. It was useful to me, it might be for others, so I'm sharing.

Thanks for suggesting that option! I’m currently a bit hesitant to add additional tracklist languages, since VGMdb uses a wide variety of tags and, as far as I know, there isn’t an easy way to determine which ones are used more than just a handful of times. That said, I’ll likely include this in the next patch.

I don't get it. I'm testing this out on the FFVII Remake Soundtrack. Why is "Al Copeland, non, Yosh (Survive Said The Prophet)" being listed for every artist field?
VGMdb doesn't have a singular field that would map cleanly to what would be tagged under ARTIST, so the script will go through the fields that "most likely" fit the ARTIST tag. The ones you mentioned are picked because they are in the "Vocals" field. All other credits can be found in the custom VGMDB_ALL_CREDITS.
