When trying to fetch a cover, discogs returns a 401 error:

It seems discogs requires authentication for their service now:

https://github.com/sampsyo/beets/issues/1027

This will be rather hard to fix, since one has to use OAuth and some other difficulties. So the discogs provider will be probably disabled soon.

...Or maybe not. There is also some basic auth supported.

It should work as of commit 167d047eadb48e5e01f8a910c747efea5b89d320 again. With small images for now only though.
