I've been using this program for several years now and have noticed a huge increase in the number of "service unavailable" error messages when connecting to the Amazon servers for tagging. I've been reading that Amazon limits their filled requests to 2000/hour, but recently I've noticed that the servers reach this limit during the daytime around 20 minutes after the hour. Has MP3Tag become this popular?
Besides, 2000 requests per hour? Isn't that a bit stingy? Perhaps I don't fully understand it, but I would think that an Amazon server could handle much more than that. Maybe it's just me.

Could you please turn to Amazon and discuss it with them? Perhaps you succeed and make life for MP3tag users much easier
