Any chance of this little beauty pulling the Key information of tracks? Is it offered in the api?

For some reason, when I try to tag by URL, it says the following:
"Error connecting to server: [http://api.beatport.com"](http://api.beatport.com%22)
This is the URL of one of the songs I am trying to tag.

Your error relates to using the wrong URL to parse [beatport.com](http://beatport.com). Instead of using the track url use the release one such as [http://www.beatport.com/release/so-much-love/438196](http://www.beatport.com/release/so-much-love/438196) whereas track is like the url you posted relates to the individual track itself.
The script is not intended for individual tracks. The way I use it if there I have only one track from a release But in is to parse the album it relates too.
But in your case the track you are parsing is the only one on your realease.

**UPDATE VERSION 1.1 OF 'BEATPORT.COM SCRIPTS BY STEVEHERO'**
1. added a search by title script.
2. added leading zeros to track and totaltracks.
3. added output of TRACK / TOTALTRACKS

Had the same problem and could fix it by applying the following changes to the source-files:
Change the line with
[AlbumUrl]=http://api.beatport.com/catalog/releases/detail?v=1.0&format=xml&id=
to
[AlbumUrl]=http://api.beatport.com
and then change
regexpreplace "\>\s+\<" "\>\<"
```
findinline "
```
to
regexpreplace "\>\s+\<" "\>\<"
```
say "/catalog/releases/detail?v=1.0&format=xml&id="
findinline "
```
Hope this helps

Firstly thanks stevehero, dano and pone for these fantastics scripts. I only discovered the web sources forum yesterday and I've been tagging using the scripts since.
Ok the problem I'm having is that I'm happy with the existing ARTIST fields of the releases I'm tagging using the Steve's beatport script so I've been trying to customise it slightly so that this field is skipped when it comes to tagging. Not having much look I'm afraid.
Firstly I tried commenting out, using #, the lines below but the script no longer works properly when I do this (attachment 1)
> # ARTIST findline "\\s+\<" "\>\<" regexpreplace "]+\>([^\"]+)" "\<$1\>$2" outputto "Artist" sayregexp "(?\<=)[^\<]+" "\\\\" "" say "|" gotochar 1
I've also tried commenting out only the line that says...
> outputto "Artist"
... but that doesn't work correctly either (attachment 2). The GENRE field gets muddled up for want of a better word!
It's as if the script requries the artist field to be written. Can anyone help me with this?
Cheers,
Pau.

_comment-out_ only the say... parts at the artist section:
```
#sayregexp "(?<=)[^<]+" "\\\\" ""
#say "|"
```
that should work.
or simply set artist to zero at the end of the script. or almost at the end, but before the "track fix" section, if you get a strange output at track and title.
set "artist"

Thanks pone, that works great. I've also been playing around with the script and made some changes to prevent other fields being written and it's working really well
```
set "albumartist"
set "album artist"
```
Maybe you can help me with the issue I'm having with the DATE field? It's read in the script in the format MMDD whereas all my other previously tagged files are in DDMM format. Pone you helped me with this in [this](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12786/2) topic but I'm lost at how the regular expression you gave me would work otuside the main program and in a script.
Many thanks,
Paul

put this line
```
regexpreplace "(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)" "$1-$3-$2"
```
after
```
findline ""
```
at the DATE section.
**or**
change this

indinline "-"

To format the **DATE** in the format DDMM
Enter the following:
```
# DATE
outputto "date"
gotoline 1
findline ""
findinline ""
findinline "-"
findinline "-"
sayuntil ""
findinline ""
findinline "-"

Beatport are now displaying the bpm and song Key info in the API..
Could you please add these tags into the next update of the script?
I've modified my .src files and I now get the bpm.
but I'm struggling with the song key info. (I'm new to this)

I've taken a quick look on my phone there and its seems they do have it in the API š. This will be included in the next update of the script very soon as its the most requested feature from you guys.
Thanks for pointing that out garves.

I've been very busy (my apologies) so those looking for a quick fix to the BPM and INITIALKEY info. Heres goes.
The INITIALKEY tag is formatted as follows:
C Minor
CāÆ Major
Aā Minor
I have tested the special character 'ā' in traktor and it shows up. Any problems for now just find where it says '_replace "1" "ā"_' in the code below and change the 'ā' to a 'b'.
**BTW Any suggestions as to how you would like this formatted please let me know. OR maybe its fine the way it is :]**
**Just so I can update the next version to how you guys like it**
Please place whats in _italics_ between whats in **bold** in the script, like so:
**# \_LENGTH
outputto "\_length"
findline ""
findinline "\>"
sayuntil "\"
sayuntil "\"
# LETTER
moveline 2
findinline ">"
sayuntil ""
sayuntil ""
sayuntil ""
Say " "
sayuntil "_
_```_
**# GENRE
outputto "Genre"
findline "\
