Talking of Discogs and searches, I've used a search now for some time that
Guy Thackeray tipped me off about (ta) after I asked on here ('cos I was too
stupid to read the "how to search" bit in their help); searching for a track
by enteringtrack:"part of track title you are looking for" this was a super valuable tool for me. Pity it seems to have stopped working then? Or is it just me doing something stupid?
