Seems to be working fine for the majority of the stuff I threw at it, thank you.

There is one bug that needs fixing if possible. The catalog number scraping is picking up some junk due to poor placement of a link to show extra album credits in one the updates.

Its an easy fix, we just have to remove this, i think:

```
<a id="extralink" href="#" style="float:right">[Extra Credits]</a>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 $(document).ready(function() {
 $("#extralink").click(function(e) {
 $("tr.maincred").toggle();
 $("tr.extracred").toggle();
 $(this).text($("tr.maincred").is(":visible") ? "[Extra Credits]" : "[Main Credits]");
 e.preventDefault();
  });
  });
 </script>

```

But i cannot do it now, i will do it when this week ends.

Edit: or as a quick fix, you can add this line:

```
replace "[Extra Credits]<script type=\"text/javascript\">$(document).ready(function() { $(\"#extralink \").click(function(e) { $(\"tr.maincred\").toggle(); $(\"tr.extracred\").toggle(); $(this).text($(\"tr.maincred\").is(\":visible\") ? \"[Extra Credits]\" : \"[Main Credits]\"); e.preventDefault(); });});</script>" ""

```

below

```
else
	regexpreplace "<a[^>]+>" ""
	replace "</a>" ""

```

Romano - many thanks for your work updating this script for VGMdb - has the same update been made to the _Search by URL_ version?

If not, could I please request this?

This VGMdb Administrator/coder works hard.

@M_Mirza  
Try this and let me know if there are any bugs.  
Later i will make this source to get more data.

you can always find any changes in my [repository](https://github.com/romanoh/Mp3tag-Repository/blob/master/data/sources/VGMdb%23U%26RL.src).

edit: there is a bug, if there is songs in other language Japanese per example, it adds to the tracks. right now i cannot solve it, as i am new to scripting, but i will try.

Great work. Much appreciated.

Does the Bug about japanese & english getting mixed still exist?

Could you make a version or post the changes to get the year as standard iso?  
I would like to have year be: 2020.12.30 instead of just 2020, as I use it to rename the folders right away.

Its not a major bug, as the tracks are sequencial, just erase it or save.

- Drop the `VGMdb#Search by &Album.src ` file in your `appdata\roaming\mp3tag\data\sources` folder.
- Select all tracks `Ctrl-a`
- Click the Web Sources drop down button, select `vgmdb > Search by Album`

@Romano I'd like to propose a change to the script to make your life easier and potentially reduce errors.  
The MP3tag Web Sources Framework syntax supports an `[Include]` key. This allows you to import source script code into others, reducing code duplication as well as being less prone to errors. I added this key to `VGMdb#U&RL.src` and `VGMdb#Search by &Album.src`, pointing to a new file, `VGMdbAlbumParser.inc`. This way, when maintenance is needed on the album parser in the future, you only need to change that one file.  
I can't upload the files individually here because the format filter screens out `.inc` files, even though that's the same format the default `Discogs.inc` script uses. Regardless, here is a zip archive of them and I hope this does make things easier for you going forward:
