Hi, thanks to a number of you that have answered my questions in the past couple of days or so. I am after some further help if possible.
I have previously ripped my CDs (about 2500) using DBPoweramp and tried as best as possible to match metadata to the release from a number of providers. In recent times I have noticed some issues with this and decided to try and use just the one provider (MusicBrainz) moving forward.
The issue I am finding is that many of the CDs I have are Australian releases and, while they might match with a release on MusicBrainz, they aren’t technically the correct release with numerous things (albeit minor probably) being different.
I am preprared to add all these to MusicBrainz for both my benefit and others but want to find an easy way to do it using Picard. What is the easiest and best way to do this? I’ve watched the videos on how to submit an ID and a cluster but would really appreciate someone explaining how they do something like what I am describing (the eact workflow). The video process did seem a bit convuluted to me. I was hoping to do something like insert the CD, upload to Musicbrainz, then edit the tags, add cover art etc and save it in the one process.
The other option I’ve got is to simply use an incorrect release (like I’ve been doing thius far with just the album, artist and track correct) and not write other tags like country, label, musicbrainz IDs etc.
Any advice is appreciated.
regards
Greg
