[WS] Discogs ALL, Uses Discogs API sevice Options

[Innuendo]

Hmmm, worked fine for me with this. Could you please post what release you where tagging?

I think what we're dealing with is Discogs not being consistent with how information is displayed. I noticed on your example track the Lead Vocals are listed for each track. However, the release I was testing lists the vocals and lead vocals down in the credits as seen here.

As you can see from the layout of this release it's an excellent test for scripts as it has numerous engineer, photography, and artwork entries. It'd be really nice if the "Notes" section could end up in a tag somewhere, too.

Hope you don't see all my messages as complaining. I just want to help you work all the bugs out.

Yes, I'll see what I can do. I'll be working with notes, as soon as we're done with credits.
About "complaining" - well, I'm glad to hear it.

Here is another example of where your otherwise excellent script picks up the backup vocals instead of the lead vocals.

Fixed & re-posted. Now I'll get on to NOTES.
BTW, if you know any release with heavily formatted notes (italic, bold, hyperlinks and ect.), please post it, that would be helpful.

I've been looking for some notes like that, but I guess I either have boring music or nothing really note-worthy as all the releases I have checked so far don't have any formatting like that at all.

I'm done with the notes, but I'll post when I'll fix some more stuff.

I'll keep checking back looking for it then.

cannot receive information about this release - http://www.discogs.com/release/1671758 (I fix this in my temporary version). I think this is because one of main field (Style) is empty.

sorry for my English

I know this bug and I'm working on that.

[morrison]

if this can help, I fix this with this:

# STYLE
gotochar 1
findinline "</genres>"
if "<styles>"
outputto "STYLE"
replace "</style><style>" ", "
findinline "<style>"
sayuntil "</style>"
endif

upd:

and another strange moment in your script:
if "Vocals"
outputto "VOCALS"
outputto "VOCALS"

thank you for caring, but i would had it fixed that long long time ago, but i believe i encountered some mp3tag bugs. I've asked dano for some help, and i'm waiting for reply.

and that 2x outputto "VOCALS" - it's just a minor type error. Still thank you for reporting that.

NP, I reported only for your convenience

I added new version of script. However "empty fields bug" remains unsolved. Script contains code which "should" solve everything. If someone finds what's wrong with it, that would be nice. For now, I'll wait a bit for dano's reply.

With Mp3tag 2.44e it will not display empty tag fields anymore, so to remove a temporary tag field, just set it empty:
set "TMP1"

Then you won't see it anymore in the tag window.

Btw why do you use
say " "
on all notes fields e.g.
outputto "VOCALS"
say " "

This is probably correct, but Pufas scrip adds a space " " to all empty tags so it still generates a lot of "empty" tags...
