I wasn't at my computer when posting this so:

```
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=$replace(%artist% %title%, ,+)

```

The spaces need to be replaced with a + so I used $replace to remove them. Hope this helps. If you want to add more tags insert them anywhere between the ( and the ,.

Does anyone still have the original script from pone? Mp3tag supports HTTPS now (since v2.74) and I'm wondering if we could get this working again 🙂

Kind regards

Hi Florian. What was the reason for this? Was it just an mp3tag limitation?

If so. I might just revive the soundcloud script to work!!

Mp3tag didn't support HTTPS for web sources in the past. When discogs changed to allow HTTPS only, I wanted to do something and added HTTPS support.

So it might be possible that other web sources that were abandoned due to missing HTTPS support can get a second chance here 🙂

Kind regards

Best news I've heard today anyway 😉 I really want to get that Soundcloud script working. It's an underrated place to find good free music and not having a tagging method was a pain.

I'll post on the script forum should I get it going (find the time).

Thanks.

Hey guys.

I was in two minds to post this but maybe someone can get the issue.

I've tried my best to revive this fabulous script but alas, no bueno!

It only gets covers up to 150px which is great for those of you who are stuck in the 90's ;]

Unless, someone smarter than me can find the answer, this is as far as I can get with it. Good luck!  
Google seems to be doing something their end, but I'm not website savy like that.

PS. Post results if you can.
