I get an error connecting to server message when I try and go to Discogs.
Any ideas?

Hi there!
Sometimes it happens to me either. It can happen due to several reasons:
Try to check if your firewall is not blocking the connection to Mp3tag
Simplify your search ( writte the name of the artist in lower case, if that doesn't work supress the last word)
Reboot Mp3tag
Try to check if the site is up
Pray...
😛

What did you type in the search box?
The discogs script appends the keyword to the url [http://www.discogs.com/artist/](http://www.discogs.com/artist/)
You must enter the complete and correct name or Mp3tag connects to a url that does not exist.
