Hey all,
Just installed v2.69 and it seems the update to the Amazon.com.src has broken it completely.
Whatever I input, album name, artist name, catalog #, I'm always getting the error:
* * *
## Mp3tag v2.69
## Sorry, no entries are matching your search criteria.
## OK
I tried with super obvious stuff like "madonna", etc.. not once was it able to output anything other than the error above.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: reverting to the old script from 2.68 fixes the issue..
Edit2: well that was easy, re-adding "AssociateTag=mp3tag-20&" to the 2.69 script fixes the issue as well.. why was that removed?

I can confirm that the tag search at [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) does not return any results.
The cover search works for [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) and [amazon.de](http://amazon.de)
The search at [amazon.de](http://amazon.de) works for both.

I edited my post with the fix ohrenkino.
Just change:
```
http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Operation=
```
to
```
http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&AssociateTag=mp3tag-20&Operation=
```
What I wonder is why was that altered..?

This change slipped through by accident.

[Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) terminated my associates account because they were interpreting the clicks users of Mp3tag make via the tag sources dialog (via the This album on [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) link) as artificially generated clicks (which is of course not the case). They told me to not use the associate tag anymore and I made some experiments to remove it but still leave the web source intact.
I guess I have to release another new version which fixes this.
Thanks!
Florian

Thanks again for pointing!
I've fixed the issue with the current Development Build (v2.69a) available from [http://developer.mp3tag.de](http://developer.mp3tag.de)
Kind regards
