Hi Andrei (all everybody alse)

I have a question about importing data from Discogs.com for a special CD - is there a way to do it?

"Album - Add from Discogs" option does import data from internet but it can't be applied to a CD. What I do now is - 1. Add a new CD 2. Add from Discogs 3. Copy fields from the album added from Discogs 4. Paste fields to CD added 5. Delete the downloaded data.

I don't think it is the way it's supposed to be. Did I miss something or OrangeCD Catalog doesn't support "Download from Discogs" function?

And yes, I know about "Download CD info" option, but - 1. it never works 2. I can't choose the source for info to be downloaded from. Where does it download data from anyway?

I agree this path is not optimal, but it is currently the only way to apply Discogs data to existing album. This will be improved later, when more sources will be added (MusicBrainz in particular.)

Download CD info feature gets information from FreeDB and Amazon only.
