Awesome, I'll have a look at that script, thanks a bunch for linking me.  As
far for Discogs integration, it would be a pity if it had to be removed
again. Oh well, I guess I could always patch it in again locally if needed.
:) But again, I'm curious for their answer because it would still be a nice
addition, imho.

Thanks again!
