Can I look up cover art for clusters that are not in the AcoustID database?

Hi everyone. I would like to use Picard to look up the album cover to some albums I’ve got. I have clustered them neatly, but they are not being recognized. It seems they are not in the MusicBrainz database. My question is: is there a way for me to use Picard to look up album art for clusters that are not in the database?

I want to use the Cover Art Providers listed in my settings (which include the Deezer, Amazon and FanArt plugins). The albums I want the art for are genuine releases. I’m sure Picard would find the album art if I could tell it to look for it. The tracks all have the following meta data:

  1. Title
  2. Artist
  3. Album
  4. Track number
  5. Album artist
  6. Date
  7. (generated) AcoustID fingerprint

I have found this old topic asking a similar question, however that question is about appending local files to clusters. I want to use Picard to look them up online and append them automatically.

Side question​


I’ve also considered adding the albums to the MusicBrainz database. When I started, it seemed simple, but as I continued it seemed like I needed to provide a lot more information than the meta data that I’ve got. So, side question: would it be okay for me to add the releases as-is with the limitation in the note? I don’t want to bloat the database with low quality data.
