Is there a file `A&udible API#Settings….settings` next to your `Audible API.inc`?

If it's named differently, can you rename that to the file name I’ve referenced above (with the three dots Unicode character). It’s looks like the app you use for unzipping the file doesn’t support those ([7-zip](https://www.7-zip.org) for example, does).

Ah! Ok. I used the Windows 11 "extract all" built in right click option. 7 zip extracted as you said and I re-added that file. Now there are two settings files in the dropdown, the correct one and the old one. The "open configuration folder" option takes me to  
C:\Users%\AppData\Local\Packages\35795FlorianHeidenreich.Mp3tag\_rf0p6xgxmspcc  
but there's no old settings file in the "sources" folder... just the correct one. Thoughts?

EDIT: Was doing this all as I was getting the "sorry no entries are matching your search criteria" when using the API [Audible.com](http://Audible.com) Author+Title option... still getting that error.. .

Can you provide a screenshot of the contents of your `sources` folder?
