DiscogsCSV exports the currently selected CD in the MediaMonkey Location CD Node as a CSV file in Discogs CSV-to-Draft format. The exported CSV file can be uploaded to the Discogs CSV_to_Draft web page for import into the Discogs database. This allows you to quickly and easily submit a new release draft without going through the manual submission process.
In addition, you can concatenate all the CSV exports in the export folder into one CSV batch import file. Discogs allows up to 100 releases to be submitted in one batch.

Usage:
Follow these steps to export disc data to a CSV file:
- Expand the Location node in the MM Music Tree
- Select the CD you would like to export (no disc needs to be in the CD drive)
- Ensure that the Song List is sorted by ascending Track Number
- Open DiscogsCSV from the MM Tools>Scripts menu
- In the DiscogsCSV window, make sure the correct CD is displayed, then click the Export button
If you want to create other exports, switch back to MM and select a new CD in the main tree. Switch back to DiscogsCSV and click the Refresh button. Then repeat the steps above.
To create a batch CSV file of all the exports in the exports folder, click the Create Batch button. If a previous batch file exists, it will be overwritten.
After you create an export or batch file, you can open its parent folder, view or edit the file, or copy the file's path to the clipboard by clicking the appropriate button. Most buttons display tooltips that explain their function.
Click the CSV to Draft button to open the CSV_to_Draft web page in your default browser. You can then upload individual export files or a batch file as a draft submission.
