Do you still need the individual country settings from the previous version (e.g., `&Apple Music#Settings (Deutsch).settings`, `&Apple Music#Settings (English).settings`, `&Apple Music#Settings (Français).settings`, etc.) in this new version? I tried editing some files without them, and it gave me an error message, which suggests to me that they're still necessary and should be incorporated in the ZIP file. ---

Do you mean that the Producer role is not available through the source, event though there is such a role (with one or more names) among the credits on Apple Music? If yes, why is that? ---

I have posted a new beta version of the 4.0 version. It should give you the extra credits, as well as other information not available on the 3.x version. It requires that you run the python web server as a proxy. And because of https, you have to create certificates, so in the same folder as the python file you should have a `certificate.pem` and a `private-key.pem`. It probably have to be authorized by your OS if it is self-signed as well so that you don't get errors from MP3Tag. If you provide the "media user token"-cookie from your web browser, if you are an Apple Music subscriber, it should be able to add lyrics as well. In that case you have to change the source to your store country as well. I realize this is a cumbersome approach, so I am not sure if I will keep posting this here anymore. Maybe noone is using it. I will maybe be able to make it a bit more user friendly later. But if you are using the version 4, please tell me. ---

Hi AreDigg, Can you help me how to create certificate.pem and private-key.pem on Mac OS? Thank you so much for your scripts, I use them on the daily basis for all my music library. ---

Could someone help me restore "Various Artists" as a viable option for `OutputTo "ALBUMARTIST"`? Currently, I have it set up like this: ```auto OutputTo ALBUMARTIST json_select "artistName" SayRest Say "|" ``` The issue that arises is that it defaults to `OutputTo "ARTIST"`, so instead of the album artist being "Various Artists," it's any individual artist. Changing the json\_select to anything other than `json_select "artistName"` (e.g., `json_select "containerArtistName"`) simply eliminates the "Various Artists" option completely. I'd rather not have to manually add "Various Artists" every time, so any help is appreciated ---

I'm not using it precisely because it seems so cumbersome in comparison to what I've been doing now, which is simply editing the `.INC` file from [Apple Music for MP3Tag v3.10.zip](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/short-url/1LWZ3rq3Vkpu0MppZIfbmyWETHL.zip) on Notepad. I want to know what json\_select can restore "Various Artists" as a viable option for the `OutputTo "ALBUMARTIST"` category. Right now, I've been using `json_select "artistName"` because `json_select "containerArtistName"` doesn't work. `json_select "artistName"` works for the most part, but a flaw in this approach only arises whenever I come across an album with "Various Artists," wherein every track ends up having a different `OutputTo "ALBUMARTIST"` because it has a different `OutputTo "ARTIST"` (e.g., instead of the Album Artist being "Various Artists" and the individual Artists being "Nobuo Uematsu," "Masashi Hamauzu," "Kumi Tamioka," and "Hitoshi Sakimoto," every track with "Nobuo Uematsu" as the Artist will be assigned "Nobuo Uematsu" in Album Artist as well, every track with "Masashi Hamauzu" as the Artist with be assigned "Masashi Hamauzu" in Album Artist, etc.). What do I need to do in the `.INC` file to make "Various Artists" work again? ---

Yep, you're not alone: the more specific the search, the more likely the error message will appear. By contrast, only the vaguest, most generic search works, which is frustrating. ---

I looked up "Handel: Concerti Grossi," and the first search result was exactly the one I was looking for. I have no idea why it worked for me, yet nothing seemingly works for you. 🤷‍♂️ ---

Well, [Apple Music for MP3Tag v3.10.zip](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/short-url/1LWZ3rq3Vkpu0MppZIfbmyWETHL.zip) has stopped working again, and this time, it's more insistent in not working. It will not recognize any iTunes Album ID at all, which is usually the safest bet to ensure you get exactly the album metadata you want. Meanwhile, [iTunes API for Mp3Tag 1.8.zip](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/short-url/aaUc45vCoZi7ya6Is1ifHv3qEKh.zip), which hasn't been updated since 06-04-2021, works just fine. I only use Apple Music web script because iTunes doesn't have a dedicated `OutputTo "COMPOSER"` category. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I don't know the first thing about Python coding or setting up proxy servers. ---

Why you want to edit it? It is like plain text however. > [@mirogeorgiev97](#): > > I don't know the first thing about Python coding or setting up proxy servers. You need to install Python 3 and get certificates for a web server. You can create the certificates yourself if you run it locally on the same machine. The easiest is to search for something like "How To Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate". You should end up with a certificate file in PEM format, which you can call `certificate.pem` and a corresponding private key you can call `private-key.pem` and copy to the same place you have the Python script. For the hostname (CN) when creating the certificate, it also depends on your OS and setup, but entering `*` should work, or you can use `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`. If you use another hostname you have to edit the Web Source file. to reflect that. You most likely also need to add the certificate to the trust store on Windows or key access on Mac if it is self-signed. ---
