Title: Searching Discogs by release number and catalog number
Post by: haeggvinyl on March 30, 2022, 02:39:39 PM
It is possible to search Discogs by release number [r123456] and catalog number when creating or recording a new album. But you can't do that in Split Tracks/Lookup Track Listing. There you can only search by Artist / Performer and Album Title.
So my request is to add Release number and Catalog number as well, when searching Discogs, which together with Artist / Performer and Album Title are the options for the Lookup albums at Discogs dialog box.
You could reuse the existing dialog box Lookup albums at Discogs, to launch it if the database Discogs is selected in the Lookup Track Listing and Album Art dialog box.

Hi,

Actually, you can.  Hover your mouse over the Artist / Performer field and read the popup help.

I wasn't aware that it is possible to do a lookup by typing the release and catalog number in the Artist field and leaving the Title blank. So, I'm happy with this solution!

Yes, people do tend to miss it sometimes.  Perhaps this forum post will help :)
