DiscogsToSpotify ~ Playlists From Collections

Posted by tom2tec on

Both Discogs and Spotify offer a Web API for Third Party Applications like this one. After logging in with your Spotify account, you will be asked to provide a Discogs username. Using the Web APIs, we will query the public collection of the given user and try our best to match each release from the collection to an album on Spotify. The result will be stored for you inside a newly created playlist in your Spotify account.

Ogger Club ~ Extend Discogs Functionality

Ogger for Discogs is a web system which uses the Discogs API in order to provide advanced functionality for the Discogs community.

The Ogger Club is the place where you can take advantage of all the system’s features.

beets ~ The Music Geek’s Media Organizer

Posted by tom2tec on

The purpose of beets is to get your music collection right once and for all. It catalogs your collection, automatically improving its metadata as it goes using the MusicBrainz database. Then it provides a bouquet of tools for manipulating and accessing your music.

Because beets is designed as a library, it can do almost anything you can imagine for your music collection. Via plugins, beets becomes a panacea:

  • Fetch or calculate all the metadata you could possibly need: album art, lyrics, genres, tempos, ReplayGain levels, or acoustic fingerprints.
  • Get metadata from MusicBrainz, Discogs or Beatport. Or guess metadata using songs’ filenames or their acoustic fingerprints.
  • Transcode audio to any format you like.
  • Check your library for duplicate tracks and albums or for albums that are missing tracks
  • Browse your music library graphically through a Web browser and play it in any browser that supports HTML5 Audio and lots more.

Posted by tom2tec on

Greatly extend the information in your music files by using the foo_discogs component to tag albums with Discogs information. Once the additional Discogs release information is stored in the song tags, it’s possible to search for catalog numbers, secondary artists or studios, etc. You can now also create toolbar buttons which open the corresponding artist or release pages in Discogs, the artist’s own website or other links.

  • download Discogs album and artist artwork
  • retrieve more information than most taggers
  • goes that extra length to make sure retrieved data is correct and well formatted
  • flexible tag mapping allows you to write only what you want, where you want
  • use meta-data in tags to display Discogs artist / label / release web pages
    able to later update specified tags (useful in update ratings)
