Hi,

I've just downloaded mp3tag and want to use the Discogs ID feature, but when it asks for an authorisation code it just says error.

I'm using Windows 7.

Can anyone help please?

see e.g. this thread on errors and discogs:

> [@Discogs error message](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/discogs-error-message/43598):
>
> I'm getting an error message when using Discogs as a tag source. It doesn't matter if it's an ID search or the regular one. The error message says "failed to authenticate using OAuth(1)" and "401 UNAUTHORIZED". Is this something I can fix?
