Here's my bp script.

gotoline 1

```

**Result in a debug error.**

`Aborted: ERROR(L53/gotoline): line does not exist`

Line 1 should always exist should it not?

I should mention that this throws this error when the `gotoline 1` is placed further down the code. I've removed that for clarity.

I think gotoline always fails when a line is empty. Not really useful since there is no error handling possible.  
I hope it gets changed, either no error on empty lines or allow gotoline 1 1 to ignore it.

True. This leaves it kind of impossible to back track to the start. That is if there are instances where line 5 in beatports html pages is not the first line that's not empty in all cases.

The 1 1 trick will work if it returns or skips to the very 1st valid line that contains text. In my case 5.

This should be fixed with [Mp3tag v3.00a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455). It now doesn't fail on empty lines, only on lines that doesn't exist.

Thanks for pointing!
