Remote Correct: Auto correct Metadata from Discogs

Auto correct Metadata from Discogs

This attempts to find a match in the Discogs Database, using metadata such as artist, album and title, track duration and track number. Jaikoz groups your songs by album if they have album field specified and/or by folder and first of all try to find a matching release on Discogs for all the songs in the grouping, a sophisticated algorithm analyses potential matches and selects the one that matches all songs the best and is most similar to your songs. If no suitable match is found Jaikoz then does song by song matching based on the metadata. Jaikoz will complete as many fields as it can from Discogs if they are enabled in your Discogs Auto Format and Auto Format options.

By default if the song has already been matched to a MusicBrainz release only empty fields will be modified by Discogs

If you are an editor of MusicBrainz you may find the Only match if matches to MusicBrainz release option useful. When this is enabled Auto correct from Discogs will only try to match to Discogs if the song has a MusicBrainz Id, and will only accept the match if the Discogs metadata is a good match with the existing MusicBrainz metadata. This is a very useful way of finding links between MusicBrainz and Discogs that you can then add to the MusicBrainz release as a Discogs Relationship Type.
