- Add _extract_discogs_fields to metadata cache — handles Discogs field
names (title vs name, images array, Artist - Title format)
- Worker uses _fetch_and_cache_artist/_fetch_and_cache_album helpers
that cache raw data while returning it for enrichment
- All search/lookup methods cache results for repeat queries
- Cache browser: Discogs stat pill, source filter, clear button, badge
- Fixes albums showing as 'Unknown' and artists missing images in cache
- get_album and get_album_tracks now try /masters/{id} first, fall back
to /releases/{id} — artist discography returns master IDs which are
in a different namespace than release IDs
- Fixes wrong album showing in download modal (master ID 3664443 for
GNX was hitting /releases/3664443 which is a different album)
- Add Discogs source override to all 6 artist/album/track endpoints
- Add discogs_id to _resolve_db_album_id lookup
- Remove upfront master detail fetching (was 15+ API calls, 40+ seconds)
- Discography loads from releases list only (~1 second, 2 API calls)
- Track counts populate on-demand via get_album_tracks when clicking album
- New get_album_tracks method: tries /masters first, falls back to /releases,
returns Spotify-compatible format with proper disc/track numbering
- Album type defaults to 'album' for masters without format metadata —
Discogs limitation, singles only detectable from individual release format
- Search results return format as list ['Vinyl', 'LP'] while artist
releases return comma-separated string — handle both
- Fixes "'list' object has no attribute 'lower'" error
- Master releases now fetch /masters/{id} to get actual tracklist,
genres, styles, and images — fixes 0/0 track count display
- Album type re-evaluated with real track count: 1-3 = single,
4-6 = EP, 7+ = album
- Cover art from master detail used when search results have none
- Tested: Kendrick Lamar shows correct track counts, proper types,
and images for all albums
- Fetch artist name first, then compare against each release's primary
artist — skip releases where the artist is listed after Feat./Ft./&
- "Beyoncé Feat. Kendrick Lamar" → skipped (Kendrick is featured)
- "Kendrick Lamar Feat. Rihanna" → kept (Kendrick is primary)
- Fixes artist pages showing unrelated albums from other artists
- Add _normalize_name helper and re import to DiscogsClient
- Prefer master releases over individual pressings to avoid duplicates
(multiple pressings of same album showing separately)
- Individual releases only included if no master exists for that title
- Skip non-main roles (appearances, features, remixes by others)
- Better album type detection from format string: catches LP, Album,
EP, Single, Compilation from comma-separated format field
- Fetch more results (3x limit) to compensate for filtering
- Fix source name mapping so sidebar/dashboard shows 'Discogs' instead
of falling through to 'iTunes'
- Fix album type detection: parse format string from artist releases
endpoint (e.g. "File, FLAC, Single, 320") to correctly identify
singles, EPs, albums, compilations — was defaulting everything to
'single' because track count was 0
- Remove fake track search that returned albums as tracks — Discogs
has no track-level search API, so tracks section is empty (honest)
- Track data available via album tracklists instead
- Full parity with iTunes/Deezer clients — same Track/Artist/Album
dataclasses, same method signatures (search_artists, search_albums,
search_tracks, get_artist, get_album, get_artist_albums)
- 25 req/min unauthenticated, 60 req/min with free personal token
- Rate limited via same decorator pattern with API call tracking
- Unique data: 400+ genre/style taxonomy, label info, catalog numbers,
community ratings, artist bios
- Smart "Artist - Title" parsing for search results
- Release deduplication (Discogs has many pressings of same album)
- Track search via release tracklist extraction
- Tested: artist/album/track search, artist detail with bio, album
detail with full tracklist + genres + styles + label
