Updated **23/03/2013**

New version of the scipts with many bug fixes and improvements

[Mp3tag\_iTunes\_23\_03\_2013.zip](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/f15fcbfa2a48b994ae989f77be995e681cacc6d1.zip) (11.5 KB)

Usage:

- Use install.bat to copy the scripts to the folders
- While running mp3tag use web sources menu to tag the files you want

Additional actions:

-Use [iTunes] (1) to remove the "" character from title and other tags.  
Search API is using these symbols but tags dont have them and there might be a  
problem if you try to rename the files from mp3tag (adding files in folders)

-Use [iTunes] (2) to change the numbering format to the standard format used in iTunes  
(Numbering per disk plus disc numbers)

-Use Create MP3TAGLENGTH to create a tag that will compare the length of tracks from  
itunes store to the files you tag. Note that a column must be added to check this.

-Use the rest of optional actions for the described action.

Notes:

-Always take a backup of your tags before using the scripts

-Music video/Movie/TV season scripts work for mp4/m4v files only

-Scripts add non standard tags i use for my collection. They can be removed from  
the extended tags window

For any other info feel free to post at the forums thread.

Hey, great script - however I've just tried to use it on a few various artists compilations and this is all I get... am I doing something wrong? I don't think I am.

It's a real shame because your script is almost perfect. I absolutely love it due to the fact it adds so much information, including the explicit tags, etc.

Many thanks once again for creating it.

Just one final thing, and it might be of use to you to help you resolve the problem, apologies if it's not, but have you seen the original iTunes script a few posts down?

[iTunes Script](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/13478/1)

For albums and singles which return the blank results error page on yours, I then switch to this one and it works flawlessly. It's just a real shame it's not as detailed as yours.

Keep up the good work everyone creating these extremely helpful scripts. 🙂

Try this code:

sayregexp "(?<=\"amgArtistId\":)\d+(?=,)" ", " "}"

Indeed. Change the 2 entries on top lines with the code of your country from

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO\_3166-1\_alpha-2](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2).

This can be done in any of the scripts
