I have discogs installed. So how do I actually use it? No one piece of documentation I have found explains how to actually utilize it? When I do import it just automatically grab music brainz? Do I need a special flag?
I commented out th user key and the application DID prompt me to go to the discogs site and get a code and I went through that an it was all successful. But it still only pull Music Brainz without question. There’s got to be a flag right?
There is no flag! You might consider using verbose mode to check whether there are any messages from the plugin. Or use a timid import and request “more candidates” to see if the MB results are just higher-quality than the Discogs ones.
So I read the documentation. Using -t works, but that proves MusicBrainz will always and forever be the defacto priority to anyone who ever uses Beets. Meaning, the only way to ever use the Discogs plugin is to use -t, otherwise Music Brainz will be used. Even with source weight 0.0.
As a workaround, you can edit the code in your installation. For example, patch _add_candidate method in match.py to get rid of candidates which data source is MusicBrainz.
