Hi,
first I wish a Happy New Year to everyone. Let’s hope 2021 will be much better than 2020.
I use MP3Tag for tagging my music archive and I also want to tag composer and lyricist. Til now I do this manually, but these data are already in die Musicbrainz database. One example:
The XML structure generated by the API doesn’t provide the information for lyricist and composer:
Is there a way to get these information or to extend the API for this purpose?
The composer/lyricist information is on the Work entity, not the Recording, so you should look for the “inc=work-rels” option in the API.
You can take a look at older messages on the forum where this was mentioned, e.g.
@Acccept, I think for this, Mp3tag should add work credit support.
I found some related topics in their forum.
You could maybe jump in some conversation to ask feature request.
I think it’s not really a solution here, I think Florian did not really understand the question.
Now that I am on Linux, I don’t have Mp3tag to make sure.
