I got the latest version - v2.88a  
Error: 401 UNAUTHORIZED

This (below) is what my discogs.src file looks like for this section  
so from what I understand it should be [WordSepErator] NOT [WordSepArator]  
and Encoding should look like this - [Encoding]=utf-8  
After that I logged into discogs, hopefully on the right browser.  
not sure what esle I can do?

hmm when I go here: [IndexUrl]=http://api.discogs.com/database/search?release\_title=%s  
I get this error: {"message": "You must authenticate to access this resource."}

[Name]=[Discogs.com](http://Discogs.com)  
[BasedOn]=[www.discogs.com](http://www.discogs.com)  
[IndexUrl]=http://api.discogs.com/database/search?release\_title=%s  
[AlbumUrl]=  
[WordSeperator]=%20  
[IndexFormat]=%Artist%|%Album%|%\_url%|%Format%|%Year%|%Label%|%Country%|%\_preview%  
[SearchBy]=%album%  
[UserAgent]=1  
[Encoding]=utf-8

2.88h includes

> FIX: https connections on Windows 7 and 8 did not use TLS 1.2 by default (Discogs requires TLS 1.2 now).
