Discogs Data Parser

This project processes large Discogs XML release dumps into structured JSON files.

Features

• Extracts essential release data (title, artists, labels, genres, tracks, etc.)
• Handles malformed or incomplete records gracefully
• Logs rejected records with reasons
• Utilizes multiprocessing for efficient processing

Usage

Run the script with:

python prepare9D.py

Ensure that the Discogs XML file (e.g., discogs_YYYYMMDD_releases.xml.gz) is present in the script directory.

Output

• Processed JSON files containing essential release data.
• A log file rejected_log.txt capturing rejection reasons.
• A rejected_discogs_data folder with samples of rejected records.
