Discogs lookup fails on Manual Metadata Search

[Theodrick]

Hi,

Most of the time the Ripper gets metadata from discogs, musicbrainz, etc. without any problem. However, if that fails, then the "Manual Metadata Search" box pops up, and then I cannot get the ripper to get the CD information from discogs. When I copy the URL for a release or master page on Discogs, I can see that CD Ripper is trying to query Discogs (and I can see with a packet sniffer that an HTML query is being sent to api.discogs.com), but it always comes back with "no results found" even when the information on discogs clearly exists. For example: https://www.discogs.com/release/1824...hats-Been-Done

I saw on another thread that this works better if the URL is truncated to omit the text after the release number, for example: https://www.discogs.com/release/1824567 , however this still doesn't work for me in CD Ripper. Does anyone know what URL CD Ripper is trying to use to query Discogs?

If I copy a release URL from MusicBrainz, then CD Ripper successfully gets the data from MusicBrainz, but the MusicBrainz database is much more limited than Discogs.

Can anyone help with this? I am using dBpoweramp release 2023-10-10 [64-bit] on Windows 7 (yeah, yeah, I know).

Thanks in advance,

Theodric

Re: Discogs lookup fails on Manual Metadata Search

Using 2023-10-10 here, your 2 links work for me, when the page is open if either of those links are copied to the clipboard the track details are read.

Perhaps you have a program which blocks it, try starting Windows in safemode with networking:
