import [--help ]

[--resume ] [RELEASE_ID] |
the import
command imports your whole
Discogs collection or just single releases and tracks. It is also used to
get extended track information from Discogs, MusicBrainz and AcousticBrainz
(BPM, musical key, links to MusicBrainz releases and recordings, links to
AcousticBrainz recordings).
-a
is used, the release will be added to
your Discogs collection _and_ imported to DiscoBASE. Note that a regular
import of a given release ID is quite time consuming: We have to check
wether or not this release ID is already in the Discogs collection (we don't
want duplicates), thus we have to run through all of your releases via the
Discogs API. Unfortunately Discogs does not allow us to search for release
IDs in our collection, we only can "iterate" through them.
Therefore the recommended way of adding newly gained releases is by using
the -a
option.

quick match,

detailed match (takes even longer, but more
results). Notes: This is the same as " disco search all
-z
". Prior to using this option, an extended
Discogs import is recommended (disco import
--tracks
). Otherwise only tracks that were
already downloaded to the DiscoBASE (eg used in mixes and updated using
" disco mix -u
") will be updated.--resume
