i have looked through and tried solutions in atleast 4 threads... still not working
if I edit the "discogs.src" file, it looks like this...
.# ###################################################################
.# Mp3tag Tag Source for Discogs API (Official)
.#
.# Search by ALBUM
.#
.# This file should be stored in your tag sources sources directory
.# %APPDATA%\Mp3tag\data\sources
.# and requires Mp3tag v2.97b or above.
.#
.# [2019-11-09] v1.01 CHG: changed to use double pipe symbol as search-by delimiter.
.# [2019-09-09] v1.00
.#
.# ###################################################################
[SearchBy]=Album||%album%||&release_title=%s
[Include]=Discogs.inc
the lines everyone is referring to seem to appear in the "Discogs.inc" file though
what i dont understand is Why do I need to now edit these files now when yesterday it was working perfectly
HA!!!
My clock was out of sync... O_O random
Seems fine now
After more than a year of getting this damn 401 error, I finally found my solution.
Background: I first installed MP3tag in late 2015, somewhere around version 2.72. Over time I've updated MP3tag periodically and am now using version 3.14.
Error: None of the tag sources have worked on my system for several years, I would always get 401 errors for Discogs, MB, etc. After getting very frustrated, I decided to use other tag software that did work.
Today: I decided to give MP3tag 3.14 another try, but the 401 errors continued.
Doing a bit of sleuthing, I began by focusing on Discogs. I deauthorized all my previous MP3tag authorizations in Discogs, and reauthorized it. That worked fine, but the damn 401 error continued.
I then discovered that all the .src files in ~MP3tag\data\sources were dated 12/19/2015. WTF! Even though I've updated MP3tag multiple times over the years, the updates have NEVER updated the .src files. This must be an error in the update process.
Solution: This is what fixed the 401 error on my system.
- I extracted the contents of mp3tagv314setup.exe to a temporary directory.
- I copied all the files found in the ~\data\source subdirectory of the temporary directory.
- I pasted them all into the c:\users########\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\sources directory.
Outcome: All tag searches using Discogs, MB, etc. now work perfectly.
YMMV.
It looks to me like you have mixed the installation methods from standard to portable and perhaps back again.
You can check in Tools>Help>About what kind of installation you have.
And you can open the configuration folder that is actually used with File>Open configuration forlder.
Thank you for the comments.
You may be correct that I am ignorant about how Mp3tag is installed on this computer, but HELP>ABOUT does not indicate what type of installation I have, and FILE>OPEN provides no explanation about why the .src files have never been updated.
Nevertheless, by explaining the cause of and solution for the 401 error on my computer, I hope that this might help some other users who are experiencing the same problem.
which says "64-bit portable" - if your version of MP3tag does not show something similar, then you should update.
This is the section in the File menu I referred to:
If you don't have that either ... see above.
Fixed it for me, too. Thank you!
