This happened to me and it took me several hours to solve this problem. The solution is opening discogs.com web site with Internet Explorer and login to your account.

I already did that many times. No success.

Open the link below in Internet Explorer (not Firefox, Opera etc.!) and observe what happens. If you see some xml containing track names then it should work.

Thank you Let, it's working now.
I had the "Remember Me" checkbox ticked, by clicking the above link I got an

oops, session has expired, please enter password

So I just logged out from discogs.com and logged in again. It's working again in MM and everything is fine for me.

Thanks, you're a master !

Eyal :~)

You're welcome

Hi,

i'm trying to use this script with MM, but it doesn't work. I only get the message "Cannot query the web site - The download of the specified resource has failed." Then i put another message box into the vbs-script to get the error code. The errorcode is -2146697208. Then i tried to use this link "http://www.discogs.com/release/1810367? ... key=<mykey> for testing the connection with the internet explorere as discribed here and I get only "HTTP 400". When I start the URL after logging in into discogs.com then I become the message "Oops, your session has expired. Please enter your password to continue.". Then I give him my password again an the answer is: "HTTP 400". When I test the URL with firefox I get the following output:
<resp requests="None" stat="fail">
<error>Client does not accept gzip encoding.</error>
</resp>
Has anyone an idea to my problem.

Many thanks from germany.

Would you try replacing <mykey> with your key? URL should be something like:

http://www.discogs.com/release/1810367?f=xml&api_key=123127123

sorry, i used my apicode when testing. I only changed it for this posting to <mycode>.

Has no one an idea for my problem?

Have you logged in to discogs.com with your user/pass? When I try to open that url with Internet Explorer with a wrong api key I get 400 error, with correct api key I get a correct response. With firefox I got the following with a wrong api key:
Do you have msxml 6.0 installed?

yes, i logged in to discogs. Then i opened the url with my own apicode. The first answer was: "Oops, your session has expired. Please enter your password to continue". Then i should rewrite my passwort. After rewriting my passwort he gave me the same message. This was new, last week i got this message only for one time. After rewriting my passwort i got the 400 error. With firefox i got the following: The msxml6.dll exists in system32 folder.

Hi, Love this script, love Discogs.
Can i Just check something?
I've got involved people checked. But the info underneath each track (remixer producer) etc is not being saved to the involved people field or anywhere else.
Is the info underneath each track classed as 'involved people' ?

</resp>

The msxml6.dll exists in system32 folder.

the error above tells that your computer doesn't support gzip compressed http communication. it migth be a configuration problem. have you tried it on another computer?

Hi there!

Tag extraction is kind of complicated;

- "artists/artist" combined together and saved as artist (anv is used if checked)
- first "artists/artist" is saved as album artist (anv is used if checked)
- "extraartists/artist" on release are saved to all tracks if no track is specified
- "extraartists/artist" on release are not saved if a track or a track range is specified (Why specify on release if it belongs to a track?)
- "extraartists/artist" on track are saved

Involved rule extraction:

- "Lyrics By" "Words By" or "Songwriter" roles are saved to Lyricist
- "Conductor" roles are saved to Conductor
- "Composed By" or "Score" roles are saved to Composer
- All other roles are saved to involved people
- Combined rules cannot be detected (e.g. Produced and Words By) thus being saved to involved people (Why combine if you can specify seperately?)


Yes, whatever you see red above will not work properly. I've faced much worse problems and fixed the script to handle them. There exists very wacky releases on discogs, so please don't expect this script to tag 100% of your albums successfully.

On the other hand, there might be a bug on the script If you are suspicious, let me know the release id so that i can check to see what happens.

OK I'll try it out a bit more and report back.
Excuse me for being a dumb ar*e but what is ANV?
