Just wanted to ask, whats the point of setting up my page on the site if nothing is ever going to show up in my media player? Am i doing something wrong or what?

Not one single song of mine gets autotagged. Im starting to get really irritated with it.

I submitted about 120 edits, including the creation of my artist profile, my entire discography, images, everything. And after all the edits have been applied, and waiting 72 hours, not one piece of content is showing up.

The media player im trying to use this with is MediaMonkey. Literally everything else autotags correctly, except for my ow music. All im trying to do is have my Artwork, artist name, and titles fetched, and it wont even do that.
I tried to register on Matrix to access the direct chatroom, but registration is disabled

fwiw, I see your page fine on musicbrainz. I wonder if it's just not updated at mediamonkey? Maybe they use a cache of musicbrainz, and it's not updating for some reason?
2025-05-05 12521, 2025

I'll clear whatever cache the app has and ill pm the results

please don't pm - I'm not an expert here. I'm not sure it's a problem at the musicbrainz end, that's all.

stvrchldofficial: at a quick look, you have a bunch of single release groups, with one release each… but no tracks on the releases!
2025-05-05 12512, 2025
stvrchldofficial
How do I do this correctly?
2025-05-05 12526, 2025
virtualsid
oops, good spot, crism
2025-05-05 12539, 2025

I thought I saw one track in each, but now I realise I wasn't going down enough
2025-05-05 12507, 2025

Depending on where your music is available, using a userscript to load your music (from Bandcamp, YouTube, or whatever) might be fastest.
2025-05-05 12542, 2025
crism
Otherwise, edit a release, and under the Tracklist tab add one or more tracks. Give the track (recording) title, artist, and length there.
2025-05-05 12559, 2025
crism
Also the format: are these CD singles or digital media releases?
2025-05-05 12523, 2025
stvrchldofficial
I wouldnt know how to write a userscript for that purpose. And they are digital media releases. I have no physical distribution. Gotta love the modern day, amiright?
Will i have to erase duplicates after using the userscript?
2025-05-05 12508, 2025
stvrchldofficial
And if going from youtube, do I do releases or recordings?
2025-05-05 12540, 2025
stvrchldofficial
And how do I specify the target?
2025-05-05 12527, 2025
virtualsid
which script are you using, stvrchldofficial? I'm no expert, but I don't mind trying the workflow alongside you and seeing if together it makes more sense :)
2025-05-05 12541, 2025
stvrchldofficial
I'm trying to look at the Youtube scripts for either releases or recordings
2025-05-05 12514, 2025
stvrchldofficial
I just looked into trying to submit AcousID fingerprints, but its complicated and I still have 0 freaking clue how to make a fingerprint to begin with.
2025-05-05 12521, 2025
crism
stvrchldofficial: Can you give us an example of one place your recordings can be found?
Hmm… well, the YouTube userscripts don’t seem to do anything for me. Welp.
2025-05-05 12508, 2025
crism
So I would go to the release, edit it, and add the track to the tracklist with its length, and set the medium to digital release and the packaging to None. Add the YouTube link to the release as well.
2025-05-05 12559, 2025
stvrchldofficial
Ive already followed those steps, but nothing will show up still. Pretty sure I need a fingerprint assosiated with the release, but i have absolutely no clue how to do that.
I don't recall adding fingerprints for the very few (3?) things I've added... ps. I used this https://github.com/RustyNova016/MusicBrainz-UserS… and it gave me an 'add to musicbrainz' button below the main video window, and it pre-populated a whole bunch of fields seemingly correctly.
I can’t find any other information on how MediaMonkey uses MusicBrainz.

Your music seems to be on Spotify as well. IMO it's much easier to use that with https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/ to add your music to MusicBrainz in the future.
2025-05-05 12511, 2025

That page seems to advocate for using Picard for tagging against MusicBrainz, which I would recommend, too.

stvrchldofficial (@_discord_1038164832022700252:chatbrainz.org) I'm looking at your edits, there's a lot of work needed - it might be best for visiblity for you to respond in-line to my comments I am putting forwad on MusicBrainz vs here
sound.and.vision (@_discord_250311742364581888:chatbrainz.org) I viewed your comments that you posted. I'd like for everything to appear as Shadows does, but I'm having the issue I mentioned in the notes just now, in response to the edit you asked me to take care of.
2025-05-05 12513, 2025

Can you walk me through how to catalog these correctly? You mentioned that deleting entries can sometimes break stuff so I'd rather do this right, then mess up a bunch of things trying to restart.
2025-05-05 12550, 2025
stvrchldofficial
For clarification, the temp release group was my attempt to merge my release groups in hopes of being able to mass delete everything, but I now see that it may have been the wrong move to make. It is my inexperience with the service at play.

stvrchldofficial: maybe take this edit note discussion to, the edit notes? you can reply to sound.and.vision in the edit notes, that makes it more likely that they will reply, (espsince they're soundandvision here)

question: Is there any script or something to simultaneously add tags to multople artists etc.? Or do I have to click on each artist (or release, etc.) and add each tag/genre?

Should I just add the releases through Harmony to do it automatically? If so, how do I deal with duplicate releases/release groups?

I'll have to leave for work shortly, so I'll have to wait until tonight to make all the necessary changes. Been fighting with Wikipedia and commons for a week now. Apparently all of the artist photos and cover arts I uploaded are considered as "unused selfies and personal art". Literally not, but okay.

@blastboom, rap is an acronym for rhythm and poetry, which is a subcategory of hip-hop. I feel like it should be a genre.

Don't quote me, I'm not sure if it's actually a genre. But considering the amount of music people put into that category alone separate from hip-hop, I just feel it really should be a gente
2025-05-05 12509, 2025

I came to that conclusion because "rap" doesnt exist as a genre on musicbrainz

Honestly, if Wikipedia says it technically isn't a genre, then they are probably right. They are so strict that I can't even create a page for my artist alias or upload photos for said page without getting nuked within 30 minutes. Everything I posted and worked on for the page was put up for deletion with no regard to what I was doing.

I can understand the wiki page, but they took my photos down because they considered them to be "unused selfies and personal art", which I don't believe is the case at all. These are personal at all, these are for my artist page. I don't understand how I'm supposed to add my biography and artist photos to musicbrainz if they just get nuked every time I try to post them from commons, which I was told was one of the only options
