Hello all,
I had a look at the Discogs API, and the search functionality requires authentication: https://www.discogs.com/developers/#page:database,header:database-search Therefore, searching for "Bach", would require including a user key and secret: $ curl "https://api.discogs.com/database/search?q=Bach&key=foo123&secret=bar456"; As a consequence, people who will want to use the nascent Discogs search functionality in Emms will have to first get a key and secret from Discogs (which requires a Discogs account as well): https://www.discogs.com/settings/developers This doesn't cost anything, but is a pain in the proverbial behind for users. However, I also don't see any other way. A quick look at other free software projects which provide Discogs API access show that they are in the same predicament. Here is a quote from the python3-discogs-client project: "Note that Authorization is an optional feature of the Discogs API but a lot of basic functionality, like searching for releases, artists, etc. requires users being authenticated already." Just a heads-up about the direction this is going. -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
