You can try the latest development build [Mp3tag v2.99d](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) where I've changed the behavior of `json_select_array` as outlined above. A call to `json_unselect_object` is then necessary if you want to continue operating outside of the selected object.

```auto
json_select_array "releases" 1
json_select "name"
sayrest
json_unselect_object

```

The arrays are 1-based.
