I think I know the answer to this from browsing around Discogs, but I wan't able to find any info about it here in the forums so I thought it would be worth an ask.
I love Discogs for finding information while adding content to CDpedia; it's the best, most authoritative source for hard-to-find info such as vinyl imports. I've recently started contributing information to Discogs such as updated track listings, album art, etc, but I'd like to share all of the work that I've done in CDpedia en mass. I've gone through and added track lists to a ton of albums, found (or taken pictures of) album art, etc, all stuff that I want to contribute back to Discogs. But it seems that they only support adding new content to your own collection from existing Discogs entries or by manually adding one new item at a time. This could be a long process.
Does anyone know of a way to export a format from CDpedia that can be mass uploaded to Discogs? Ideally I'd like to keep the two collections in sync so that others in the Discogs community can see the new content I've added in CDpedia.
Discogs is awesome. Users have really taken to it and contributed an enormous amount of information. It's open API has made it incredible popular with apps like CDpedia. This has happened despite the fact that the only way to update or add information is through the available HTML forms. I do not believe there is any format that Discogs will accept that you could export from CDpedia or any other source. Ideally they would expand their API to include contribution submissions. This way contributing to DiscoGS could be a simple as it is for Doghouse, one menu command. You could theoretically write a plugin for CDpedia that would interact with Safari and fill the HTML forms out of the currently selected entry; but that would be an enormous amount of work and prone to bugs with changes at Discogs. I believe the current slow setup is purposely to force users to actually double check all their work and only submit entries they are so passionate about they are willing to go through all that extra effort.
