Amazon Associate Tag, Access Key Id, secret access key

Post by gerritk »

Please some advise.

By the site https://partnernet.amazon.de/assoc_credentials/home I get my Associate TAG it is the same as my Patner ID some forums tell me.
Then I must get my Access Key ID and Secret Access Key by >TOOLS>Product advertising API some forums tell me. But I only can get the stuff if i sold 3 product last 180 days.......
So some forums tell me to go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ and yes there I can make a Access Key ID and a Secret Key but there is no Associate Tag. Only member name but that is not the associate tag.

Do I make a mistake?

The correct answer is the one feom Amazon. You der all from their partner network.
And yes, you need to be an active partner (making sales) in order to keep your access active as well.

Thx for the answer.
So Amazon is not for me.
I want to use Musicbrainz or FreeDB (will be shut down 31 March 2020)

Settings and options>>>Meta Data/WaveFrom>>>Release lookup options.
Leave Amazon empty

MusicBrainz Server: https://musicbrainz.org
FreebDB: http://freedb.org

When I search a album art picture in TAG Editor (in ProppFrexx onair) I get the Amazon fault Anonymous forbidden.....
It doesn't go to Musicbrainz or FreeDB.

What goes wrong?

No, as both others doesn't provide images as well.
E.g. see here: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Cover_Art

Ok, thx.
So I must use Mp3tag.de instead. They provide album art provided from the sites mentioned
