Today, turned on pc, tried to update some of my mp3s and this is what I got when trying to connect to discogs with pone and the default script.

See Attached picture.

Nothing has changed from yesterday! Nothing new installed/uninstalled.

I've tried the recommendations here;  
[/t/16244/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/16244/1)

Changed  
[WordSeperator]=+ (was %20 and back again)  
[Encoding]=utf-8 (was url-utf-8 and back again)

Then I tried my own things;

Logged into my discogs acc and revoked the app authorisation.  
Hoping mp3tag will ask for it again.

Deleted mp3tag.cfg (backed it up first, ofcourse)  
Cleaned the Registry with CClean  
Updated Windows  
Cleaned the Registry with CClean  
Update Windows Time Server (to [europe.pool.ntp.org](http://europe.pool.ntp.org), [time.windows.com](http://time.windows.com) was always iffy)  
Cleaned the Registry with CClean

In between all these steps loads of coffee.

AND NOW I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF IDEAS.

Prior to this, I would occasionally get a "Discogs 401 error" if the tag contained stange charecters, especially on pone, but I would work around it.  
But this one seems fatal.

It was a fun and productive couple of weeks with mp3tag.  
Is this end for me with discogs and mp3tag?

Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.

mp3tag 2.77  
Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64, totally up to date!
