Yes, you would start there and modify the get_albums function to use the extra tags. You may want to check whether the underlying python3-discogs-client library can use extra tags. Looks like it can accept a few additional tags https://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:database,header:database-search |

Hi!
So this is a two-parter.
Musicbrainz got a new configuration option fairly recently, where you can specify
extra_tags
that it will use to match your music. For me this is really helpful because I often have to manually find the realease with the correctcatalognum
andmedia
. So after adding:I've seen a huge improvement in accuracy on the few albums I have imported so far.
Unfortunately for me, well over 50% of my albums are not on musicbrainz, but 99% of the time they are on Discogs. It would be amazing to have this option in the Discogs-plugin aswell. Took a quick look in
discogs.py
and found thisWould this be a good place to start if I want to look into this myself?
The output from the autotagger is sometimes a bit ambiguous when several discogs release look more or less the same (white label vs test pressing vs actual release for instance). Here is in example that actually illustrates the thing I want to solve in both 1. and 2. The autotagger gives equal match to two bandcamp results, aswell as two discogs results.
In this scenario I know that I want to pick one of the Discogs candidates because they in my opinion have better metadata. But candidate 4 and 5 does not appear different. But the difference is:
Candidate 3: [r74882] (Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM)
Canditate 4: [r4383728] (Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM, White Label)
So i wonder how hard it would be to customize the output of this string
(Discogs, Vinyl, 1996, UK, Robs Records, 12ROB49)
so it uses the entire
Format
and looks something like this:(Discogs, Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM, White Label, 1996, UK, Robs Records, 12ROB49)
Happy to look into this myself, but would be very grateful if someone could nudge me in the right direction as this is a bit outside my comfort-zone.
