Unable to connect toTag Sources

When trying to find tag source non of them are working Discog, Amason, MusicBrains.
How do i get them to connect to find album art and album info

Does MP3tag have internet access?
Test this with Hlep>Check for new version.
If you don't get a message box, then MP3tag does not have internet access. You then would have to check your network configuration, probably the list of blocked programs in the firewall.

Discogs authorization step by step

I have spent all day Googling and reading posts where folks get stuck on this one. The MP3TAG help index only discusses freedb under the sources topic. There is no obvious way to enter my Discogs token or credentials in MP3TAG. Can I get a step by step set of instructions to get Discogs working as a source in MP3TAG? Thanks!

Also make sure you're using the latest version of Mp3tag.

You mentioning an Amazon Tag Source makes me suspicious — the Amazon Tag Source is long removed from the program and the others have seen multiple updates since then.

I'm having a (perhaps) similar problem (just started today). When I try to connect to Musicbrainz or Discogs, I get a "The file is corrupted" error. Mp3tag also prompts for a new Discogs auth code each time I try to use it.

Running 2.97.

Thanks.

Can you post a screenshot of this error message?

This morning everything is working (although I did have to reauthorize Discogs again). If it happens again, I'll post a screenshot. Thanks.
