Is there a way to add the leading zero to Disc#? I have "Add leading zero" selected and saved options but only the track number works?

Maybe in the options on that same window, because for various artists albums you would need to turn it off.

Hi DJSamhein,

i tried to understand your feature-request. But i didn't get it.
I try to show you what i understand.

If you have on the right side track list the following :

ArtistA feat. ArtistB - Song1

On the left side is:

Artist: ArtistA
Album: AlbumA
AlbumArtist: ArtistA

You want on the right side track list the following:

ArtistA - Song1

In which tag "feat. ArtistB" should be written?

Cheers,
Sven

Also, when checking the artist's discog page (https://www.discogs.com/artist/3197244-Astralia), it also lists the album as 2014. So it seems like it should have returned 2014. I know it's still discogs fault, but I don't think the user provided you with the correct info.

I got an answer from the Discogs-Team:

The system isn't as straightforward as that. The release year on Discogs is the earliest release date, no matter the key release. The API year is based on the key release year I believe.
In the future, we will be revising these to make things more consistent and meet expectations.

Hi DJSamhein,

i tried to understand your feature-request. But i didn't get it.

Ok, I'll explain what I want with a simple example

Release: 502706 (Master: 76216)

This will try to change the artist in tracks 8 and 21 to "Placebo Featuring David Bowie". What I want is an option where it will always keep the artist as Placebo, as shown on the Artist and Album Artist tags on top, next to the album art.

Ok. Where do you want to store the Information "featuring David Bowie" ?

If you set the Option "featuring Artist behind title", the script will always use the first artist and move "featuring David Bowie" behind the title.

artist will be Placebo title will be Without You I'm Nothing (feat. David Bowie)

Is this what you want?

Greetings

Not really. What I want is for the track to remain as "Without You I'm Nothing" and the Artist to remain as "Placebo". I want the featurings to simply disappear. I don't actually use that info in my tags.
Maybe add an option next to those feat. options below the album art, so it won't affect other users? And when you have that option enabled, you simply ignore that feat in the artist and title.

Ok, i got it.

You can use the "unwanted tag" Option in the mediamonkey -> Options -> Discogs Tagger Options. Enter "feat.,featuring,ft." in the unwanted tag field and delete the entries in the feature keyword field.

I tested it for myself and must say: it didn't work.
I have to check this again and post a solution in this thread.

Thanks for adding the Disc Leading Zero option and for everything you do with this script. It's a critical part of MM. Since you did add this option, I'm getting the following 3 errors. I also included a snip of a track (10cc) that's impacted and a track (Aerosmith) where I've selected a tag from the drop down which should change the Disc from "A" to blank (or even 01) because the new selection is for a single disc CD.

Thank you for posting the error. I found the bug and released a new Version!

I added an Option to ignore the feat. Artist.

Happy weekend

Yeah, works great, thanks a lot

This add on is an incredible resource. Is there a way to have the Artist field in MMA properties populated with artists from the list in the Involved people field? Forgive me if this is a silly question, I'm not an advanced user. Thanks!

Hi,

i don't forgive you, cause it's not a silly question.
Please give me one or more examples what you like to do. Which result you wanna see after tagging?
