Discogs Plugin
==============
The ``discogs`` plugin extends the autotagger's search capabilities to
include matches from the `Discogs`_ database.
.. _Discogs: http://discogs.com
Installation
------------
To use the ``discogs`` plugin, first enable it in your configuration (see
:ref:`using-plugins`). Then, install the `discogs-client`_ library by typing::
pip install discogs-client
You will also need to register for a `Discogs`_ account. The first time you
run the :ref:`import-cmd` command after enabling the plugin, it will ask you
to authorize with Discogs by visiting the site in a browser. Subsequent runs
will not require re-authorization.
Matches from Discogs will now show up during import alongside matches from
MusicBrainz.
If you have a Discogs ID for an album you want to tag, you can also enter it
at the "enter Id" prompt in the importer.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Several issues have been encountered with the Discogs API. If you have one,
please start by searching for `a similar issue on the repo
<https://github.com/sampsyo/beets/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+discogs>`_.
Here are two things you can try:
* Try deleting the token file (``~/.config/beets/discogs_token.json`` by
default) to force re-authorization.
* Make sure that your system clock is accurate. The Discogs servers can reject
your request if your clock is too out of sync.
