Is there any way to add total tracks and total discs to this script? I found some posts from 2014, but i wasn't able to get is working. Can someone help me out?

[This album](https://music.apple.com/us/album/casella-concerto-for-orchestra-a-notte-alta/1689302034) has frustrated me to me no end. It _is_ available on iTunes (as well as Apple Music, which hasn't given me any issues), yet it continually gives me the same error message, as though it doesn't exist:
The album ID is 1689302034, so I know it _should_ work, yet it just won't register, no matter which country I switch to. No other album gives me this problem. When that error occurs, it's usually just a matter of changing the country, and I can continue as normal.

Update: The issue appears to affect more albums whose ID begins with "168..." than just the one I used as an example. If the album ID is "1688...," it's a coin toss whether the entry will match my search criteria. Beyond that, I imagine it's pretty much guaranteed _not_ to work.
I'm unsure if anyone is interested in updating this script anymore, and I don't know how to because I don't know what variable(s) to manipulate to fix this issue. Hence, I'm here hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me can say precisely what's up and propose a possible solution.

Is your setting file set to "Uncensored"?
Can you give an example album?

Sorry, I didn't notice which thread you were posting from. Not all web sources use a settings file, which has only been technically available for a short time. There are a lot of web source scripts for iTunes and Apple, and I'm still not entirely sure which one or which version you're referring to.
I was referring to this script:
> [@\[WS\] iTunes source script with multiple search criteria](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ws-itunes-source-script-with-multiple-search-criteria/47197):
>
> Greetings to the Mp3Tag community. After using @pone's WS iTunes script(s) for years, I've finally decided to take up scripting and give it a shot at creating a tool with the functions I wanted. And the main one was the ability for a script that could be used internationally, i.e. I could somehow define what country the script would query. This made sense to me, since if there was an artist from a certain country, or if an album had a localized special edition, I would want to get metadata …
When you access this script, you'll see the web source script itself and a menu item for the settings. Accessing the settings also includes an option for censored or uncensored results.

Yes you are right. The script from @rboss I mentionend also delivers a censored result with the setting "Uncensored".
But it seems to be related to the countries.
I get a censored result if I select US but not for Germany and GB.

Well, I tested it now for a lot of other countries and so far only the US-site has this problem. So you can use one of these sites instead of the US-site.
Perhaps Apple decided that, due to its well-known prudishness in some parts of US society, it should generally no longer be confronted with uncensored title names. 😉

There are Apple-scripts that have a separate version for each country. The mentioned script from @rboss looks for the US-site per default and you have to manually change US in country to some other country-code at each call, i.e. `GB` for Great Britain or `IT` for Italy
If you want to permanently change it you would have to change the `US` in row 29 of the SRC-file
[SearchBy]=Country|| **US** ||&country=%s||Language||en\_us||&lang=%s||Query||[$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)[%album%]]||&term=%s||Limit||50||&limit=%s
to your preferred country code, or you could create alternative SRC-files yourself, giving each copy another name according to the country-code.
Did you call the settings for the rboss-script-version from Mp3tags action menu, which has to be copied to the Mp3tag-sources folder as well, and change the setting for censoring?

Then I don't know whats different for you.
Using your example (Young Thug UY Scuti) with the script from @rboss and the apple script from @AreDigg, I always get a censored result for track 5 (F\*\*\*\*\*g Told U), if I use US as country and an uncensored result (Fucking Told U) if I use any other country codes.

So I see, a fundamental misunderstanding.
I've never been interested in the labels in this regard. Aside from the iTunes Advisory tag, how exactly do a clean version differ from an explicit version in the audio? Does the clean version of the same album simply have tracks missing, were the tracks recorded with different lyrics, or does it beep for explicit words?
