Hello. After updating to the latest version. Now import does not add data to the library (or get discogs data for autotagging). Below is output from my testing with “Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?”

RE: the discogs plugin, is installed / configured as per documentation. I tried re-authenticating my Discogs connection. That worked but did not change the import results.

Thanks for an otherwise stellar piece of software.
