An old issue is back (Apple Music will only show `iTunesCountryID` and nothing else). This seems to happen with every new release of MP3Tag. Is there any effort to integrate Apple Music/iTunes (or both) into MP3Tag the way Musicbrainz and Discogs are? I think this issue would be a lot easier to deal with if the integration was more complete. But I don't know because I'm not a coder.

Does your download source not include the key relevant items for the metadata? I would think this would be more of an issue with CD ripping where embedded CD text data is poor or nonexistent.

I am waiting for the update of this script.  
It is presumed that Apple has changed something.  
Mp3tag v3.13 also didn't work, so I updated to 3.14 and tried again, but it still doesn't work.  
In the end, it seems that the script needs to be updated.  
I've used it well so far, and I'll be grateful for it in the future.

I'm not good at English, so I'm using a translator, so please forgive the awkward sentences.

Apple has changed something on their side yet again. Can't tag any albums

Script needs updating.

I have multiple download sources, and, yes, most of the time, I don't have the relevant info. That's why I use both Apple Music and iTunes as tag sources.

Ok, i have updated the script for you. There is no relation to the script failing and newer versions of MP3Tag.

Is it entirely Apple's fault, then?

Thank you, I'm using your iTunes API script instead, can you please update that? it seems like for some it's working and for some not 🥴🙏

I had the impression that some audio files weren't working with the script, but I'm noticing now it's just singles where the metadata appears under album section & title. I'm sorry, false alarm.  
Thank you king for your holy work 🙏 👑

@AreDigg Is there a way to have the Apple Music script handle more than 300 songs? I have an album that contains 425 songs, and I wouldn't want to edit an extra 125 songs manually.

Thank you for this script. This is the main reason I've started using mp3tag (on macOS).

I have not yet tried your version but the one found on GitHub (MrBukLau/mp3tag-web-sources-scripts). Thus I am not sure how such differs for a particular issue I'm having.

For a multi cd album, sometimes either an online store (music sourced elsewhere), Apple Music, or CD source could be numbered differently: one may be separate cds while the source files or Apple Music may list all tracks in order as one disk. (e.g., instead of disk 1:1–10, 2:1-10, one disk 1–20).

In such cases I'd like to preserve the original track numbers. I've unselected them in the dialog for which to save, yet then any unselected fields are set to blank. I'm not sure if this is due to the script I'm using (compared to yours), or how mp3tag acts in general (as I am a new user of the app). Total track count per disk is also sometimes unset; that I'm also not sure if it's the script that needs to take care of such. For that, I also maybe confusing it with the Deezer script.

It also seems that other tags, at least some, are overwritten, e.g. comment; while the online source may not list any, the tag is reset. Is it that mp3tag resets all tags when using an online source?

mp3tag is very nice indeed because of such scripts, as I think no other app that I know of offers such, yet I'm running into a few problems, unsure if due to how the script is made or if such is part of how the app behaves.
