Discogs Release ID

Re: Discogs Release ID

I have just tested R17.1 and import of discogs release album art doesn't seem to work when making a manual metadata search.
If I understand how the software works, by default when a CD is inserted CD Ripper will fetch the album art from Perfect Tunes and display it.
What I see in R17.1 is that after this is done if I perform a manual metadata search the album art fetched from Perfect Tunes will not be displayed anymore and No Album Art will be displayed.
Let me know if there are some specific test you want me to do to help solve this.

Windows or OSX?

Re: Discogs Release ID

It is likely you choose an artist and album title which is not in PerfectTUNES.

Re: Discogs Release ID

Maybe I misunderstood but I thought version 7.1 was fetching the album art from Discogs when using Manual Metadata Search.
Or does the software always fetch the album art from perfectTunes?

I have V17. Where do I copy/paste the Discogs direct link into please?

Re: Discogs Release ID

You do not paste, just copy to clipboard and CD Ripper detects it if the manual search page is open.

Re: Discogs Release ID

I have just installed 17.1 Beta3 and sadly Discogs album art fetching is still not working when using Manual Metadata Search.
Let me know if I can help.

Re: Discogs Release ID

Post the steps you do in cd ripper please so we can follow.

Re: Discogs Release ID

Here are the steps:
- I insert the CD
- if the CD is recognised I press "Clear Track Metadata" then press "Manual Metadata Search" so that the menu appears
- if the CD is not recognised the "Manual Metadata Search" Menu appears
- I copy the Discogs URL of the CD release I want
- The "Manual Metadata Search" Menu displays the information of the CD release
- I press "Choose Selected"

After that "No Album Art" still appears.

Re: Discogs Release ID

Hello,

Thank you for this great feature. I don't know if it's the right place to post, please bear with me. But it seems that, when I used "manual search" with a Discogs release that is a compilation, it's not taken into account (the compilation checkbox is not checked), which is just annoying, but more annoying, the track artists are not fetched (you get "various", and sometimes extra artists appear... not clear, see track 9 below).
I'm using Release 17 (1) (not registered yet... but will be soon as I love this software!!)
Here are an example:

Thank you!

Re: Discogs Release ID

Update R17.1 again, the last update to the beta test fixed this issue.
