@AreDigg - hm, I didn't do any modifications. Maybe I describe what I did:

- I downloaded Your file "Apple Music for MP3Tag (Web) 3.16.zip"
- I extracted it to my "C:\Users\<username\>\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\sources
- I started mp3tag and ran "AppleMusic" - "Deutschland (Deutsch)"  
... then the error mesage appeared.  
What did I miss?

Is there a file `&Apple Music#Settings….settings` next to your `Apple Music Web.inc`?

@Florian , Yes, there is and ... ah, now I see, if I scroll to the bottom there I an entry called "Einstellungen" (settings). Do I have to modify there anything before I chose my "language-entry"?

By the way - the file is named "&Apple Music#SettingsÔÇª.settings" - cryptical...  
(talking about Windows...)

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.

Ahhhh, thanks @Florian, just scrolled through the 445 (!) sites of forum posts here and found the hint to use 7zip or WinRar. With WinRar it obviously works.  
Maybe there should be a "central" place to have the most recent version and a short description of the WS Scripts for "newbies" like me - noone reads hundred of forum entries 😉

@AreDigg Thanks for all of the work you do on these Apple service sources and thanks for sharing and (providing support) to those of us in the community that benefit from them. You have saved me sooooo much time. I really appreciate it.

I have made a change which at least should give these back, but there is less information available on the Web interface for the other missing tags.

Thank you for the update. However, I'm getting a syntax error:

```auto

Thanks for the quick reply. Worked like a charm with 7zip.

v3.17 fixes the issue with release date and genre tags. I'm interpreting @AreDigg's latest reply as the Apple Music web interface won't allow extraction of the ISRCs at this point. Too bad!

Yes, they were also removed, but try the new version it should work.

My original statement remains true even with the newest version. In fact, I made it after I downloaded after I downloaded the latest version.

I tried it. It's not exactly ideal, but it does work.

@AreDigg Only _some_ classical music recordings look like this, but with your latest update, it sort of _universally_ applies the %movement%, %movementname%, and %movementtotal% tags in a way it didn't before.

For perspective, this is what _most_ classical music recordings look like:

Apple don't have any of the movement-tags so they are all calculated now. But I will tweak it a bit, so they will be blank if work is not defined.
