Hi, I'm using Mp3tag since couple of months. It's a great software. Congratulation !  
I added a new column in view named Isrc. Now I believe that this info is not available from Discogs but I know that MusicBrainz has it.  
If I retreive tags info from MusicBrainz nothing is coming in as ISRC but I know that they have it  
Do I have to add %isrc% or something else somewhere ?  
Thank you for help !

If you look inside the used WebSourceScript\* (I assume you are using "`MusicBrainz.src`"), you will NOT find any hint that the [ISRC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Recording_Code) will be parsed.

The fact that MusicBrainz collect this number does not guarantee the availability in a WebScript.

°\* _WebSourcecripts are pure text files. You can open it with any text editor, like Notepad._

Thank you for the reply.  
Yes I checked and I did not see it.  
Would it be possible to manually insert the search of this field ?  
I have no clue how to do it !  
Thanks

Just be aware that remasters/editions of an album have different ISRCs, so you need to know exactly which edition you have and which one you're importing. I'd say there's a high risk of getting the wrong ISRC.
