CDPedia - Amazon US Problem: Unable to import CDs

Post by James SCL »

I've been unable to import a few Amazon- US CD titles and I have no explanation for this problem. Here is one example:

Store: Amazon US
CD Title: "Richter: The Authorized Recordings"
Link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00000E58L?tag ... k_code=as3
ASIN: B00000E58L

Every time I try to import this title from Amazon US (either by URL link, name, ASIN or artist/label) I get the same message: "There are no matches for "B00000E58." Please try another search." For some reason, CDpedia seems unable to recognize this specific Amazon US ASIN. Note: The Add function -by ASIN- works fine if I use Amazon UK, DE, CA, etc.

I have encountered the same problem with a few Amazon US ASINs and I'd like to know if there is a solution beside adding this (and other Amazon US CDs) manually.

Thanks!

Because the CD is classical it's in another category at Amazon other than just CDs. In the search window change the "search type" to classical and you will find a match. We have plans to do both searches in the future and remove the distinction between classical and other CDs, so that user doesn't have to think about this.
