Once found just paste the release id or release url into search bar at the top and press search to directly load the release.
Search bar also accepts artist, label and master release urls, which might be useful.
I have tried searching with the url and variations of the release code eg:
[m250837]
m250837
250837
Most of the time I will get no results but if I search using the release code on it's own (bottom of the 3 options above) I will often get a result completely unrelated.
Am I doing something wrong or am I not supposed to be able to search for a master release?
Hi Vladimir,
searching for master release only work with the whole discogs url e.g.
https://www.discogs.com/master/12345i just tried the master search. It doesn't work anymore, cause Discogs changed the urls. The add-on looks for /masters/ in the url, but Discogs now use /master/
I will fix the add-on in a few days.
From this 3 examples...
[m250837]
m250837
250837
..only the last work, but only with release numbers. If you paste a master number in the search bar, the add-on "think" it's a release number.
With the new version of the add-on i will expand the search function, to enter [m250837] or [a12345] for artist ... Thank you for the hint
The new version of the add-on will be available before New Year's Eve

The only reason I do, is because I don't know which release to choose due to too many options so I just use the master. From what I have just read it sounds like the master is not even an actual release anway, rather just a "containing folder' on discogs for the various actual releases??
I had the same thoughts.

But the master of the release didn't have many informations about the release.

If you do it that way you will see that the master release has less informations about the release. The master release includes mostly only the song-names.
If you choose the master release or not depends on what you wanna have. More or less informations.
I want more information so i search now for the release with the same songs and with the most information for the release.
