I used Discogs tag source until few weeks ago.  
Now when I try to use Discogs tags it require again the auth code but after I enter the new code I get always this error:  
Mp3tag v3.11  
Failed to authenticate using OAuth (2).

> 400: BAD REQUEST

I run a portable version of Mp3tag on windows 7.  
tried also previous versions of Mp3tag (3.06,3.05) and i get the same error  
On version 2.66 the errors is Mp3tag v2.66 Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1).

Does anyone have the same problem?  
Thank you

here is a thread on Oauth(2)

> I can't get Discogs and MP3tag to register with each other. I keep reading somewhere that MP3tag is supposed to trigger some kind of token that will register MP3tag with Discogs... or something like that. I just want both of them to work. I get a dialogue box in MP3tag asking for an authorization code, which I leave blank since I can't get one no matter what I do. From that, I get "Failed to authenticate using OAuth (2)." I'm using MP3tag v.2.65a, and as I recall it worked fine before I upg…

In other circumstances it was a good idea to check the system clock.
