Hi -
MusicBrainz Wizard displays the number of tracks for each release in the search results. Discogs Wizard does not. Is that a function of the different website databases? or do I have preference goofed up?

Thanks!

You haven't goofed up 🙂

The Discogs and MusicBrainz search results return different types of data. Both sites are restricted as to how many requests you can issue in a given amount of time. While the track/disc counts are available in Discogs, their extraction requires additional requests. This is not the case with MusicBrainz.

If you enable the Preferences - Discogs - Pre load releases option, the track and disc counts will be displayed .... but slowly. This is due to adhering to the rate limiting rules. The loading is done in the background and you don't have to do anything other than enable the setting.
