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.

• 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)
