discogs-client: Add authentication

[swpeter]

Hallo
is the discogs plugin partly defunct. I am getting the same error using beets 1.3.9 or 1.3.8
I have installed the discogs-client 2.0.2.
Below you wiil also find the complett the output of an import for an example that has no musicbrainz entry, but an entry at discogs . The relevant part states:
Discogs API Error: 401: You must authenticate to access this resource. (query: Oliver Lake Otherside)
(Suse 12.3/64 )
Thank you for looking at the Problem
Peter

Thanks for the report. This is interesting; we haven't seen anything like it before.

Can you give a little more context? Does this happen reliably for this album? (If you run it again, do you get the same error?) Does it happen for other albums?

If it is deterministic, can you help us reproduce the bug—for example, by sharing the album that triggers the bug?

I’ve seen it on every import now.

Discogs API Error: 401: You must authenticate to access this resource. (query: Miles Davis Kind Of Blue)

I don’t think there were any changes at discogs…

Now, I do notice that the 401 is possible on the Images resources.

http://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:images,header:images-image

I can’t really tell if this is happening at the discogs query or if possible its happening at the discogs image search (if thats one of the locations that is searched in?)

In any case, I have seen it for every album I’ve imported starting with the last update I did to beets.

Thanks for following up.

It looks like Discogs is now requiring authentication with a Discogs account to do searches. They turned off anonymous searching a few days ago.

We can't really fault Discogs for this—they announced the change four months ago! We just weren't paying attention to the announcement thread. Lesson learned.

Anyway, we now need to do a significant amount of engineering to add OAuth to the Discogs client. Until then, it won't work and I suggest disabling it.

It is happening at every album query for discogs. Providing the discogs-id, as in the example above, it is possible to tag the album.
Thank you for the quick answer.
