Hi The\_Zhu? I have a similar problem with the Traxsource plugin by Jordi & Jean-Claude ( [[WS] Beatport · Traxsource · SoundCloud — Updated & Fixed Scripts 2026 (by Jordi & Claude)](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ws-beatport-traxsource-soundcloud-updated-fixed-scripts-2026-by-jordi-claude/71123) ) a 403 error that is possibly a Cloudflare problem. Do you think you could adapt and compile a Traxsource Proxy same as the beatport proxy ? I tried to edit the sources of your proxy myself, launch a venv and the python script, but that didn't work for me, failed to connect on port 8788 (i changed the listening port, adapted the URLs in the .inc files, , I must have overlooked something, but then again, I'm not a python scripter 🙂. I don't even now how to make an .exe from it.

Hello @The_Zhu,

I'll be releasing a BSI-Mp3tag project in a few weeks. My programming is finished, and I'll be able to release the project once I've completed my YouTube videos.

@Florian has already given me excellent advice for my project, and one very important piece of advice on this:

You can clarify the situation by writing in a style of text like this:

I am not affiliated with Mp3tag. This registered trademark is the exclusive property of its holder, as is its logo

Thanks @Sergius, much appreciated, that's exactly the wording I needed. I'll add a clear trademark notice. Good luck with the BSI-Mp3tag release, looking forward to it!

Hello @The_Zhu,

I'm glad my text can help you…

Thank you for your interest in my project…

Regarding my upcoming BSI-Mp3tag project, it's primarily intended for programmers at radio stations who use the BSI Simian live broadcast software, which is still receiving updates…

We currently program our tags with BSI Info Editor, which hasn't been updated since 2004, has limited write capacity, contains bugs, and hasn't been fixed since then…

The project I'm about to release fixes all the bugs and allows for more characters for tags. This great Mp3tag program can also manage album art directly within the BSI Simian folder, unlike BSI Info Editor, which doesn't handle album art…

Your mp3tag\_proxy.exe project for [Beatport.com](http://Beatport.com) is fantastic; you're a great help to the Mp3tag community. program, thank you for the time you dedicate to the members of this community… 👍

Hi @Sergius, thanks, genuinely appreciate it.

BSI-Mp3tag was clearly overdue. Stuck since 2004, known bugs, no album-art support, and the people depending on it work in live broadcast. I really like seeing this: someone picking up an abandoned project and making it work properly. Good luck with the release!

Hi @jfbaastos! That error means Mp3tag couldn't reach the proxy at `127.0.0.1:8787`. Quick checklist:

1. Is the proxy actually running? Look for the Mp3tag Proxy icon in the system tray near the clock (might be hiding under `^`). If it's not there, start `mp3tag_proxy.exe` first, then retry. It needs to be running whenever you use the tag sources, and it shuts itself down after 30 min of inactivity.

2. After editing scripts, restart Mp3tag via File → Exit, then reopen. Just closing the window doesn't cut it.

3. Check the line you edited. Error 12005 usually means a malformed URL. Open the `.inc` file and confirm it reads exactly `http://127.0.0.1:8787/...` , one slash after the port, no doubles, no stray spaces.

4. Save `.inc`/`.src` files as UTF-8 without BOM, using Notepad++ or VS Code. Plain Notepad can add a BOM silently and break things. Leave `.settings` files alone.

5. Still stuck? A VPN or firewall might be intercepting `127.0.0.1`, or another app grabbed port 8787.

Paste the exact line you changed and say whether it's Beatport or Traxsource, I'll spot it right away.

yes the proxy is working wll, i think:

14:43:48 Server listening on 127.0.0.1:8787 (impersonate=chrome124)

is this correct on this file: Beatport by &stevehero v6#RELEASE Direct by &Www(URL).src

[SearchBy]=RELEASE Direct by www(URL)||$trim($lower($regexp($regexp(%www%,(?i)^www,[https://www](https://www)),\bhttp\b,https,classic.beatport),www.beatport,[https://pro.beatport](https://pro.beatport),[https://www.beatport](https://www.beatport)))||[http://127.0.0.1:8787](http://127.0.0.1:8787)%s  
[Include]=Beatport by &stevehero v6\_Release Direct.inc

now i added the slash on this file: Beatport by &stevehero v6\_Release Direct.inc

</div>

Good news – your proxy is running and the `.inc` file is fine. The problem is in the `.src` file.

In `Beatport by &stevehero v6#RELEASE Direct by &Www(URL).src`, the last field is missing a slash before `%s`:

```auto
...||http://127.0.0.1:8787%s

```

Should be:

```auto
...||http://127.0.0.1:8787/%s

```

Add the slash, save as UTF-8 without BOM, restart Mp3tag.

No worries, almost there! 🙂

Your file's **WWW** tag still has an old proxy link in it, so the proxy address ends up doubled and that breaks it. Just set the WWW tag back to a normal Beatport link:

```auto
https://www.beatport.com/release/lara/6932610

```

Then run it again.

(Tip: "RELEASE Direct by ID" — where you just paste the number `6932610` — doesn't use the WWW tag at all, so it avoids this completely.)
