Thanks.

But there is a script to download lyrics (from LyricsWiki) right [here](http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5895).

Hey JonaaaBR,

When i search an artist in Chinese, like 梁靜茹, the result shows artist's English name "Fish Leong". And album track title also show in English. Is this a bug?

I think it's not a bug, it's from iTunes i think... but anyway, Taiwan Country here.

Hi,

your script works well, but for me i need to change the import date from 2015-10-02T07:00:00Z to 2015 only. I don't want to edit it everytime i'm scraping an album or sampler.

outputto "YEAR"  
FindLine ""releaseDate":""  
FindInLine ""releaseDate":""  
SayUntil "", ""  
Say "|"

something like $left(%YEAR%,4) ?

Try replacing  
SayUntil "", ""

With:  
SayUntil "-"

Not sure this will work where iTunes only contains a year though. Have not tested this.

Yeah, the default pattern of the iTunes TAG is:

2016-02-2100:00:00Z

if you change it will be like this:

just 2016.

Doesn't seem to work with non Latin characters

Manually when I enter the following URL it works [http://itunes.apple.com/search?country=RU&](http://itunes.apple.com/search?country=RU&)...

No matter what I do, I always get the "Sorry, no entries are matching your search criteria."

I've seen the tag I want in [amazon.com](http://amazon.com), however it seems its an mp3 because on mp3tag, I can't find it.  
So I've been trying to pull it up with this script for iTunes and nothing, even searching for simple stuff like Michael Jackson or Jon Bon Jovi.

Also, is there a way to put the link found on the browser to mp3tag instead of searching by ArtistAlbum?

If none of the web-sources work, check if you have blocked MP3tag's internet access in your firewall.  
Use Help\>Check for new version.  
If you do not get a dialogue box telling you either that your version is uptodate or there is a newer one then MP3tag does not have internet access.
