tbh, i'd suspect a bootleg. note that the number printed on the sticker - 9362473862 - is the catalog number/barcode of the 2 disk austrialian release.

hmm, maybe not 2 disc

either way, australian :/

oh, i'm just confused, apparently they used that number in multiple countries possibly with different formatting

actually, that might be a legit hong kong release?

hey everyone

i'm a noob to the tagging world, musicbrainz picard is such a nice tool. I had a soundtrack to the musicbrainz website database, but scanning my albums still not getting the right infos yet (sorry for my english)

here is my release https://musicbrainz.org/release/84a66cfb-3b68-4...

how do I make the software match my directory scan with that release, if you got any clue ?

dascandy[m]: Have you looked on Discogs for the release?

fwa: What, exactly, are you doing? What, exactly, is happening, and how, exactly, does it differ from what you expect?

crism: i want to tag my local directory containing a rip of a cd of 19 titles with the corresponding release I just publish on musicbrainz website

crism: but when i scan my directory using musicbrainz picard, the track fetched aren't matching

What, exactly, are you doing in Picard? What, exactly, does Picard do when you do that?

crism: https://ibb.co/8L2VqBHJ

i just select them all and click on "analyze"

the result i was expecting is getting all of them, not some of them, and all from my release https://musicbrainz.org/release/84a66cfb-3b68-4...

Ah, en français… Try « Rechercher dans le navigateur » instead. Select the release you want in your browser, and then the « tagger » link there. It should open the release on the right-hand half of Picard, and then you can drag your files to the release.

oh yes, works like a charm, and i have a better understanding on how the software works now

thanks

can you enlight me about the "duplicate lines" ? https://ibb.co/PZHVchdp

i'll have a very good time tagging and contributing anyway =)

Pas de problème. I’m not sure about those duplicates… I haven’t seen that before. Looks like either files that matched the same track, maybe? But if it comes out OK, then ça suffit.

yes, iirc not listed. Will doublecheck looking for China and HK. Iirc hk rejoined China in '99?

checked, there are no listed releases in China, but there is a HK one - labeled as "Printed in Hong Kong. Manufactured and Distributed by Warner Music Hong Kong. " - except mine says "Manufactured in Germany", so it's definitely not that one.

can somebody who's familiar with Chinese and/or Kantonese tell me whether the label above is likely HK or China? I'd guess China, but Californication has so many releases that it could well be a second HK release from the same year
