Scenario:

1. I used the discogs tagging feature in Mp3tag 2.71 for many months without problems.

2. I suddenly receive this error: "Failed to authenticate using OAuth (1)."

3. I attempt to use the discogs tagging feature in foobar2000. I receive a similar error: "(skipped) Error: Authorization Failed (401) [Is OAuth working?] - (url: [http://api.discogs.com/oauth/request\_token)"](http://api.discogs.com/oauth/request_token)%22)

4. I attempt to fix the error by deleting the Mp3tags application from my discogs settings.

5. Step 4 fails to fix the error.

6. no dialogue within discogs settings to re-authorize Mp3tag. It just seems like the messages are blocked...

7. musicbrainz, amazon and freedb tagging works fine.

anyone else experiencing this? any help to fix this is much appreciated.
