well, it's unlikely that a CD would be issued with one of these as retailers would probably have a hard time, but it's obviously a thing with digital releases

Hello everyone

Hi prk0ghy[pki][m]
prk0ghy[pki][m]
Hey I would like to contriubute to the musicbrainz database. Is there any way I can upload all the existing metadata from audiofiles I have? I don't want to be sitting here and manually creating releases on the database. Are there any tools that can do this work for me?

No, and metadata from random audio files are generally not reliable enough.
prk0ghy[pki][m]: MusicBrainz Picard can help you with submitting release from tagged files, but you still have to enter most details by hand, and to give the sources (beyond the files) for these metadata in edit note.
<yvanzo> "No, and metadata from random..." <- They are tagged pretty acurately since most of them were bought on beatport/bandcamp

prk0ghy[pki][m]: there's plenty of bad tags to find from there :) The cluster plugin should allow you to pre-fill a lot of the fields based on the data from the files though
But we do expect users to fill missing data and/or correct errors before submitting, hence requiring going through the website
There’s no number or indication of a series anywhere on the packaging, so I’m thinking to take it out of the title, but I can imagine that could be annoying for quite a few situations

add it to disambiguation if not in title or cover art

Ooh that’s a tricky one
I wanted to remove it anyway, just needed someone to tell me I’m right, so all good

Anyone else have the forums freeze up every so often, until they hard refresh? Tried disabling all my plugins and whatnot, but haven’t tested further
