Hi! I wanted to tag and obtain the cover for the Spotify Session of Sia and with Mp3Tag now supporting HTTPS, I thought I could actually do it..  
Turns out it does work but it doesn't display her Spotify Session, nor those of a lot of artists!  
A bit of an irony, isn't it ?

The Spotify shows not all results because the amount of results that are displayed is limited to 20 results.

To see what you want to see you have to be more specific and enter  
artist and album in the search field.  
"Sia Spotify sessions"

For better handling you should creat several copies of the spotify script and change them in line 18 from the original "[SearchBy]=%title% to your wish.  
Looking for the title of a song does not make sense for my personal use.

I myself have 3 copies named.  
Spotify#Album.src  
Spotify#Albumartist - Album.src  
Spotify#Artist - Album.src

The changes to make to line 18 after [SearchBy]= :  
%album%  
%albumartist% %album%  
%artist% %album%

Have a question regarding several glitches I've encounterd when using the Spotify Web Source.

If it retrieves multiple artists for a individual track, instead of having them displayed like so:  
artist 1, artist 2, artist 3

It has them displayed in the following format:  
artist 1,artist 2,artist 3

Why does the script automatically strip out the " " after the comma character? Any way to have it keep it?

Also when it first parses the song's filename to enter the data for the search field in MP3 Tag, can the script be configure to strip out everything that isn't an alpha numeric character (A-Za-z0-9). Also to remove any extra spaces (\s{2,}?) It leaves the punctuation marks in place, which yields bad search queries from the Spotify API. I have to manually delete the special chars for it to work properly.

Also it never finds the associated genre classification for the found song. Doesn't Spotify's API backend allow the retrieval of the genre along with the other info?

Other than the above, the script works great!

I followed all the instructions for the Gracenote script, qqwen? How do I get it to show up in MP3tag? It's in the sources folder, but nothing is showing on the menu.

see here for locations where to put scripts and stuff:  
[/t/964/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/964/1)  
It could well be that you use other locations than the one suggested in the script installation.

Bingo, that did it. Now I'm getting an error when using the script:

Error connecting to server  
provided uri is invalid

Is it possible Gracenote has changed their API method?

Is this script still working?

I am getting the following error when I try it using Mp3tag (version 2.86):

"Error connecting to server: [http://www.saavn.com](http://www.saavn.com)

> > 12002: WinHttpReceiveResponse: 12002: The operation timed out"

Any ideas on what the issue might be and/or how to fix it? I have Burp Suite installed and configured according to the original post.

I've added [Not Working] to the topic title, as all of the web sources in this topic seem to be not working at the moment.

spotify has denied unauthorized access calls to spotify web, how get the credentials for the mp3tag so that spotify can be used?  
Secondly Saavn always returns no match

I very much regret it that the Spotify-script dows not work any more for about some years because I used it very often.  
Is anyone able to revive that script?
