hello. i am new to music brainz i added a album because it was not in the database. I added the album on the website directly. now i don't know how i can add audio fingerprints.
FauxFaux
You need to submit them from picard.
the_p
and how can i do this. i can't find the documentation.
FauxFaux
ie. open the files in picard, press scan, drag them from wherever they end up to your release (in picard), then the "submit puids" button will light.

FauxFaux: the submit puid button does not light when i try this.
Muzzz
PUIDs could not be found for those audio files then

You need to create Fingerprints with MusicIP's genpuid or MusicIP Mixer
FauxFaux
Or you're on linux and have failed.
srotta
Isn't it available for linux?
Muzzz
Then redo the scan in picard and add them there like FauxFaux mentioned a day later
srotta
Ah, you meant in the Picard phase.
Muzzz
Does genpuid not exist for Linsucks?
srotta
It does, for 32 bit.
So does Mixer, I believe.
Or not, can't be sure.
nikki
it does
I've used it :P
srotta
Yeah.

genpuid is available for linux somewhere
the_p
outsidecontext: i have just seen that i need to sign up to get it?
are this PUIDs not stored on music brainz?
Muzzz
Correct, MB only stores the link between an MBID and a PUID
the_p
i added a new album to musicbrainz is it recommanded that i create this puids?
now i have an other question i try to add an artist and there i need to specify a sort name what is meant with sort name? my english isn't that good.
jason_emmett3 has quit
srotta
the_p: Well, it's not obligatory. It helps other people when identifying their own files, but PUIDs are by no means necessary, and the artist/album information you provide is definitely the important part.
the_p
is it possible to create a new album which is not in music brainz directly in picard or do i need to create i on the music brainz website?
srotta
the_p: It's a name used to sort the artist. Typically "John Doe" has a sort name "Doe, John" since people tend to get sorted by their last name first.
the_p: On the web site.
the_p
thanks for the info then i will add the next album.

And just to make sure, the language there is the language used in track names etc.

srotta: thanks for the info i could now choose the correct language in which the track names are written.
i have another question what is with my edit if they get now vote and how likely is it that edits get now votes?
srotta
"No" votes usually come with a comment that explains the problem.
Usually at least the active editors don't vote No if the problem is only with simple things such as capitalization or something like that. Typical reason for No votes is that the same release already exists in the database.

Or the edit contains no proof it's actually a legit one
