Hi everyone,
If you've been getting 403 Forbidden when fetching tags from Beatport or Traxsource, that's Cloudflare's bot protection blocking Mp3tag. I built a small free tool that works around it: Mp3tag Proxy.
What it is
A tiny local helper for Windows 10/11. It runs quietly in the system tray and sits between Mp3tag and the site, so your existing tag-source scripts work again. Everything stays on your PC — no account, nothing sent anywhere.
What it fixes
- 403 Forbidden on Beatport and Traxsource (Cloudflare)
- Traxsource search, tags and full-size 600×600 covers
Setup (one-time)
- Download
mp3tag_proxy.exeand put it in any folder. - Install the tag-source scripts you want:
• Beatport — stevehero's v6 scripts: [WS] Beatport.com by stevehero [Release, Single Track & Artwork tagging]
• Traxsource — [WS] Beatport · Traxsource · SoundCloud — Updated & Fixed Scripts 2026 (by Jordi & Claude) - Apply a few small edits from MODIFICATIONS.md (documented step by step).
- Restart Mp3tag, then double-click the
.exe. Done.

Direct download: https://github.com/Mr-The-Zhu/mp3tag-proxy/releases/latest/download/mp3tag_proxy.exe
Requirements: Windows 10 / 11, and a version of Mp3tag that your scripts require (stevehero's Beatport v6 needs v3.22+, the Traxsource scripts need v3.26+).
I'm not redistributing anyone's scripts — you apply the edits to your own installed copies, so you'll need the scripts already installed from the links above.
