SUMMARY The artist's name can be specified differently in each release. Discogs provides this as an `anv` key. Example: https://api.discogs.com/releases/16605237 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Artist name: Radiobomb EXPECTED RESULT Artist name: Radio Bomb SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Idk, but the discogs api seems to work well without the token.
Ofc, if value of key `anv` not an empty string :) As here for example: https://api.discogs.com/releases/16562265
Also do not forget about `artists` and `extraartists` in `tracklist` key.
To make it clear, let me just try to rephrase your request as far as I understand it. Your use "Import from Discogs" with a search ("Artist", "Album") of "Radiobomb" "X-Breed-Records 01" or "Radio Bomb" "X-Breed-Records 01". Using the current development release, API token, JSON import, you get as the album result "Radiobomb* - X-Breed-Records 01 (2020) [File, WAV]" and for the track results ("Artist", "Album") "Radio Bomb" "X-Breed-Records 01". As can be seen in your "Example" link, "name" is "Radio Bomb" and "anv" is "Radiobomb". The import takes "name", which is "Radio Bomb", which is also your expected result. This is contrary to the subject of this report, which says to take "anv" instead of "name". Even if "anv" (artist name variation) would contain your desired result, what tells me that "anv" is always the better result and should be preferred over "name"? By the way, if you use the "normal" HTML import without token, you get the track results "Radiobomb" "X-Breed-Records 01", but there is not alternative available in the HTML output, so there is nothing I can do in this case.
