That update to the Mp3tag default MusicBrainz script is working fine although I was looking for an update to the MusicBrainz script posted on this topic, since it allows to search for Album + Artist (making it much easier to find an album that shares the same name with others). Thanks for your help anyway 😄 EDIT: Just for the record, I'm talking about this .src file in particular. It was updated by someone else and uploaded on this thread (can't pinpoint now) a while ago: [&MusicBrainz v2#&2 Search by Album A&rtist ( ID Tags).src](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a199ffe3fad26990f413d74f68ce19a24dc6e5ac.src) (9.2 KB) ---

You can either update the script from this topic by replacing `ext:score` by `:score` or update the official one with ```auto [SearchBy]=$regexp(%album%,'[-+!(){}\[\]^"~*?:\\]',) AND artist:($regexp(%artist%,'[-+!(){}\[\]^"~*?:\\]',)) ``` I'll probably also include the search by artist with the official one for the next release. ---

Just tried your suggested fix (replace "ext:score" with ":score") and it worked! Cheers 😄 ---

Something changed with MB's XML output due to the inclusion of an xml header on line 1. A simple `joinuntil ""` at the beginning of the album section of the script should suffice. ---

Thanks @ms6676749! I've updated the official tag sources with Mp3tag v2.99. ---

Any interest in adding Release Group ID to this fabulous script? I wouldn't ask, but Kodi seems to have standardized on that tag in particular for some reason and having mp3tag write it would definitely make life easier. Thanks. ---

Tanks a lot for updating the script. Could you please add the "releasecountry"? I dont know why, but some months ago it shows up while searching, but not when applying. I miss that entry (ok, I do it manually, but the comfort). Thanks in advance ---

Hello ! I wrote my request in 'support' and they kindly ask me to write here. I'm using Mp3tag since a couple of months and congratulations it's a great software. I added in view a new column named 'isrc' because I would like to add this code. I know that discogs has not this info available but musicbrainz has it, not always but more and more. Now, in support they told me about the src files, but I have no clue how to add some code to try to retrieve isrc codes from the server. Would it be possible having some tips to how try to get it ? Thank you in advance MrMix ---

Is it possible to get the following tags added if allowed: CATALOGNUMBER BARCODE ORIGINALYEAR RELEASECOUNTRY MUSICBRAINZ\_RELEASETRACKID Or maybe advise on how to add them myself if nobody has time. I'm just trying to match the tags I get via the foobar MB component. ---
