Dano, Want permission and instructions on how to add info to your Musicbrainz script. Sample: MusicBrainz: [http://musicbrainz.org/release/ac1de4b5-64...3e-2af196848562](http://musicbrainz.org/release/ac1de4b5-642b-4935-b53e-2af196848562) Artist: Ingrid Lucia Album: Almost Blue Under Credits it list website: [http://www.allmusic.com](http://www.allmusic.com) etc xxxxxxxx (1). I would like to import that info and have it output to: Web Media Url (2) If possible, i would like it to be a hyperlink. If not just inputting the info is ok. Curently I'm typing the info, it's a lot of typing or cut and paste. Thanks ---

Can someone help? There are some albums I can't manage to get to with this script i know they exist because I found them in my browser. The problem being they have special characters in both the artist and album names (i.e P!nk - M!ssunaztood) So I'm trying to modify this script so you can look up by the release-group id. I tried changing the script here ``` [IndexUrl]=http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?limit=100&release-group=%s ``` as you can see from this it gives valid info **[P!nk - M!ssundaztood](http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?limit=100&release-group=1000b015-e841-3cc4-ab5b-f47931f574e3)** but the script says "Sorry no entries are matching your search criteria" If anyone can help with this it would really help out a lot! ---

I don't see the track info (composer, credits, recording) in the tags from Musicbrainz website. see example: [http://musicbrainz.org/release/7323a556-16...94-0148f00aaef4](http://musicbrainz.org/release/7323a556-16a4-4a95-bc94-0148f00aaef4) track 3, 4, 12, etc. I'm using all 3 src, but none pick ups the info. how do i update the src to find it. Thanks ---

@Beluna: If you really need all this informations you should try the "official" MusicBrainz-Taggersoftware, called Picard\* [https://picard.musicbrainz.org/](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/) Of course you still need Mp3tag, because of all the missing features in Picard. But at least you get all the visible informations on the MB website into your tracks. - Please use one of the daily-builds from [https://picard.musicbrainz.org/downloads/](https://picard.musicbrainz.org/downloads/) The stable release is more then a year old. ---

The Webservice is not broken. Well not really... They write in a recent blog post: "In the past few weeks we’ve been hit with massive increases in traffic and a couple of hardware failures. Trying to maintain a decent service quality in light of both of these events have taken a lot of time of our team..." Source: [https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2016/05/15/imp...change-release/](https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2016/05/15/important-information-about-the-may-16-schema-change-release/) The mentioned schema change - whenever it happens - interrupts the Webservice again. AFTER this schema change the chance is unfortunately very high, that the XML-Output will be broken... ☹ ![<_<](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/5996dbb474c88b8f9fc49f09dc3858d081055a2d.gif "<\_<") ---

On the first post it refers to a script to get the Artist Country: > MusicBrainz Artist Info > Imports: Artist, Artistsort, Artist Country, Artist Id, www > Search by: Artist but I cannot find this in the attachments that are linked to the post. Am I missing something obvious or is this no longer there? ---

Which "artist country" should this be? Can you please give us an example? If you look at this URL [https://musicbrainz.org/artist/44b16e44-da7...51-0d765904573e](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/44b16e44-da77-4580-b851-0d765904573e) which one would be your "artist country"? ---

I came to this page from posts #4 & #7 here: [/t/12459/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12459/1) In the example given there: [http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist?query=artist:bob,dylan](http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist?query=artist:bob,dylan) returns Bob Dylan Dylan, Bob male US United States United States I would like to map to a specific tag. ---

The result is easier to read, if you append "&fmt=json" [http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist?query=a...an&fmt=json](http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/artist?query=artist:bob,dylan&fmt=json) In my example for my album, both "country-"scripts gets the release country US and save it to its id3tag: [![](http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160830/temp/acw8muqr.png)](http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4463/acw8muqr_png.htm) What exactly do you get with your tracks? BTW: This is NOT the artist country, this is the RELEASE Country (country where this album was released) ---

This is where my confusion arises! The example links are just for 'artist' info (no 'release' data there at all) but the script that is mentioned in the post is not there. ---

If you open such a webscript in a notepad, you can see entries like [IndexUrl] and [AlbumUrl] For your scripts, both include a link like ``` http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query=release ``` Now it should be clear that a **RELEASE** will be requested by this script and not an artist like in your demo urls. And you are right: the description "Imports: ...Artist Country...." is actually not true. ---

Did this script ever write the Release Group ID? Or how come some of my files have a release group and some don't... I never used any other program then Mp3tag for tagging my collection, so I'm a little confused right now, because it currently doesn't seem to add the release group... And I can't see that it had an update in a long time either... ---

After yesterday's [update](https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2018/06/22/releasing-our-new-solr-search-infrastructure/) on the MusicBrainz search engine this script stopped working. Can anyone tell if the changes made to the search engine were too significant for this script to be updated easily? ---
