What is FoobarToDiscogs?

FoobarToDiscogs is a simple python script that add's your current foobar2000 album library to your Discogs wantlist.

Why?

• The script provides a simple way to convert a music collection to Discogs wantlist without the need for manually enterting every entry

• Useful if wanting to convert digital library to physical library (CD, Vinyl, Tape)

Requirements

• Correctly tagged albums (Only album tag is neccessary)
• Python3
• Discogs account
• Foobar2000 and foo_json_library_export plugin

Setup

• Using the foo_json_library_export plugin generate a JSON file containing your library's information (A sample file can be found in the sample folder)

• Move the generated .json file to the same directory as discogs.py

• Run python3 discogs.py and follow the instructions

• If you need the discogs_client module

  pip install discogs_client

Issues

• The script is slow but I cannot change this as the Discogs API limits requests to 60 per minute, therefore if your album is exceedingly large (300+ albums), expect to wait a couple of minutes.

• The API is old and not the greatest so you can expect problems with it such as

  HTTP Error 502: The API is under maintanence

  and possibly

  HTTP Error 502: API Request Limit Reached

• Wrong entries may be added, again this is out of my control and caused by Discogs or your album tagging.
