I tried looking up a CD with picard on linux. It told me no matches were found and showed me the dialogue box where I could submit some new data. Once logged in to the MB site I'm showed a screen where I can search for the cd either by artist name or mbid. I put in part of the artist's name and found her and the album. Any idea why neither (whatever is behind) abcde nor picard could find any
Hi everyone I was just exploring Musicbrainz and got curious to know that how Musicbrainz handle adding large number of recordings specifically from big collections or archives ? Is it like users manually filling all the details for adding a release , adding an artist etc.. one by one ? Or is there any tool or scripts or automation bots which helps in bulk addition or some automation to directly update on mb database I don't

<reosarevok[m]> "kellnerd: how good are you..." <- Hmm? I'm missing the context of the question, but it's been ages since I last played a string instrument 🤔

reosarevok[m]: I THINK it has a discID. I'm pretty noob about this tho. abcde creates a temps dir called abcde.<hex-number>. That hex-number of 8 digits is the discID, right?

No idea about abcde tbh, but on the MusicBrainz release page you can check the disc id tab
@joeDoe Just make sure it's exactly the same release of the CD as you have. There are loads of CDs which look the same, but end up being from a slightly different release, perhaps from a different country or a re-issue, etc.

Hey, do audio tracks that are only released on youtube belong on musicbrainz? I'm currently looking at an mp3 version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptk68qC1woI that has no metadata
what information does plex need in order to find that entry and grab metadata when I import the mp3 into my plex library? It received "Gracies Corner\Phonics Song.mp3" and processed it as: Various Artists, [Unknown Album], Phonics Song

feeding it a raw mp3 was probably optimistic, but does it mainly try to match on filename and directory, or is there a field somewhere I can paste the musicbrainz id?

How long is the approval queue for submitted edits in terms of time frame for hearing back, rather than actual numbers of edits to be reviewed?
