Screenshot of the error when attempting to fetch info from gnudb

SUMMARY
I was attempting to load track information from https://gnudb.org/ and very quickly get back 'Sent' with nothing returned, or Error: Error transferring http://gnudb.org/search/'MySearch' - server replied: Forbidden
I also see no way to include my registered email

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an album known to be on gnudb.org
2. Import from gnudb.org

OBSERVED RESULT
No data retrieved, and an error after less than 10 attempts

EXPECTED RESULT
Either a 'Nothing found' or the data from the site

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On the homepage of gnudb.org they have announced they require an email address to prevent server abuse. My best guess is this requirement hasn't been implemented into kid3, as there is no option available to identify yourself with your registered email.
Comment 1 Urs Fleisch 2024-09-21 11:29:27 UTC
The gnudb.org import is now fixed in version 3.9.6. You can also use your registered e-mail address by setting it in the "Token" field in the UI and saving the changes. However, I am not sure if the e-mail is really needed since it seems to work also without.
Comment 2 hello@roblane.me 2024-09-21 16:16:02 UTC
I've just installed 3.9.6 and its working great. The token is absolutely OK, I wasn't sure if that was a long term option with gnudb, but it looks like it is. Thanks so much
