I'll have to think about this as that didn't go that well. Perhaps, this would be different as there are many more people following this thread. The classic site has been fully functional for the last few years. If they said it'll be fixed, then the site won't be decommissioned any tiime soon.
I had bookmarked the traxsource topic but hadn't received any notification, either....
@ tempo123
For those searches, just replace all special characters with nothing and accentuated roman characters with their non accentuated counter-parts : just try any track with dashes in the artist field and take them out : will blow your mind . Same with apostrophes and others.
So stick to alphanumerals and it should improve. I can't paste my regex lines from the script because I use none, got my own program to automate it and use different search strings.
Yeah, I sometimes get that too, even with this thread and it's mine. Maybe I accidentally unsub for a bit of peace and quiet. ![]()
Let me know what you guys think, should I restart crowdfund for traxsource? And what do you think is a reasonable amount, considering it can take a week to write? Well for me anyway. I like to make sure that scripts don't break my end and I use a lot of regular expression before getting the info to get around this which takes a bit longer to do but means fewer failures IMHO.
@stevehero Hi, is there any way to set the script to always replace the artwork/cover without asking if we want to keep the one that already exists?
Also any way to have the list of results always sorted by date?
In the info panel right click on the artwork and the option's there and click the date column to sort it that way.
@stevehero Sorry i didn't get that maybe i wasn't clear.
When we search to tag the files using your script then some results are showing up and we have to choose which one is the right release, i was asking if there is any way to always have these results after the searches shortened by date.
This is what i'm talking about.
@stevehero
Hi, Steve, first i woul like to thank you for your incredible scrips. Unfortuately since several weeks the classic.beatport search (single tracks) is very buggy (yes also by browser searches) you get "OOPS... LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR REQUEST." for more than 50% of the searches. (I dont think beatport will fix the classic site, cause it gets discontinued soon) The www.beatport search delivers the right results. Ive managed to change your script to search www.beaport instead of classic.beatport, but modifying the parsing to extract the required informations is far beyond my possibilities. Are there any chances you would edit your scripts to use the www.beatport site? Perhaps only for the "Beatport SINGLE TRACK Search by filename" script?
(I have found the searched tracks in the sourcecode of the results page in plain text, so it should be possible to parse this in a similar manner you did the scrips for the classic.beatport site.
I dont need very much Tag infos, coverart, label and releasedate (YEAR) would be sufficient for me (if this would reduce the amount of work)
Thank You
Hi SpirosG, i dont know what you mean with "shortened", but if you meant sorted by date, you can edit the script (as Steve has mentioned in the script).
Edit his line:
[IndexUrl]=http://classic.beatport.com/search?&perPage=25&facets%5B%5D=fieldType:track&query=%s
Place &sortBy=publishDate+DESC at the end of %s if you want releases sorted by date.
Hi @deesar,
Sorted is what i meant, i didn't even see that i was doing that mistake... 


I will edit the Script to try your Solution when i'll be back home...
Thanks for the help!!! 


@stevehero
Hi, ive found out, that classic.beatport search finds much more often results if i edit the search query (first popup) and replace every space with +
ex. No Frost - Krysenstern (where "No Frost" is Title and "Krysenstern" is artist
"No Frost Krysenstern" = 500 internal Server error
and
"No+Frost+Krysenstern" = successful search results.
How can i edit the script that "+" instead of "spaces" are between the search words?
Thanks in advance
I tried the + instead of space. still no go. And this is the worst timing because I have to tag 200 + tracks 
I've looked at this and:
Take this file for example:
Beatport by &stevehero v4.41#RELEASE Search by Relea&Se.src
There's a line in the script [WordSeperator]=+ that should automatically add these internally.
Unless there's something broken on mp3tags side.
@Florian, can you look at this please.
Checked and it's working fine here.
In which case then the script will automatically use the + symbol instead of the whitespace characters.
I'm not sure how you guys are getting it to work.
Thank you so much for the help @deesar this did the trick...![]()

Can you give an example release from Beatport where this is happening and let me know which of the web sources you're using from the *.zip?
Hi @Florian
Arno Cost Norman Doray - Wanna Do (Extended Mix) CLUBSWE219
"RELEASE Search by (Album)Artist + &Release" & "RELEASE Search by &Artist"
If you search "Arno Cost Norman Doray" you get the 500 error
If you search "Arno+Cost+Norman+Doray" the script is working fine.
There are more examples this is just on of them.
Update: One more example
Bootes Gray - Voice of the Universe MHR342
Same Scripts
"Bootes Gray" = Error 500
"Bootes+Gray" = Works fine
By the way is there any chance to disable the dialog which is asking you if you want to keep the existing cover.
I just want to only keep the cover downloaded from the script without always clicking that i don't want to keep the existing cover.
Also @stevehero something very useful for me would be a script to search releases by folder name (%_Directory%) (?) which would be able to automatically catch the folder name of the selected files.
For example the script could automatically grab the folder name "Bootes Gray - Voice of the Universe MHR342" and search for that release.
Not really much point posting this as I'm rewriting them for the beatport site.
