Select multiple tracks without year or genre info, open tag editor, use the dot next to file name and you should see the option to update info from discogs.


Only if there are missing infos like no genre...

Been waiting for the batch version of discogs.

Have done all my playlists (about 100) for now as they will be the tunes mostly used. Works well.

Will tackle the rest of my databases later.

Thanks team!

What else are you looking for??

i just thought it would fill in what ever i was missing.

Filling in the year was really all I needed, so it's perfect for my needs. The genre really only works if suits what you feel it is. For example, bands l8ke discharge, crass, sex pistols, souxsie and the banshees comes up as Alternative or power pop or indie. I reclassify those as punk which is an easy task to do. Like I said as long as the year is correct I'm happy

I'm wondering how reliable the year info would be...

For instance, a track could be from a UK artist, and therefore probably released in the UK before other territories. When VDJ fetches the Discogs data, does it check which country you're running VDJ in, then look for the release date in that country?

If I'm in the UK and downloading Discogs info via VDJ for a US artist, will it be the US release date or the UK one?

I've also noticed it can sometimes take the year from the time the track appeared on a compilation album of no original year is in the Discogs database.

It's probably fine for those who don't have year info and want to populate their DB en masse but I wouldn't rely on it.

It will look for the oldest release in the top results to try and find the first release date.

The option: "Fill missing info from Discogs" is not reading the year correctly from an album that came out a few months ago. I am referring to album "Shannon K - Perpetual. After I ran it displayed year other than 2017.
