Instructions:Adding Acoustid Album to MusicBrainz

  • Find the artist you are interested in the report
  • Click on AlbumArtist to open the artists discography page, so you can do a quick visual check to see if the albums you would like to add are already in MusicBrainz because they may exist with slightly different name.
  • If not click on View in Albunack this gives a combined MusicBrainz/Discogs view, if the album you would like to add is in Discogs then importing from Discogs will probably give better level of metadata then the simple metadata provided by Acoustid Album, to imporet discogs release from Albunack see this video
  • If not in Discogs select Import Release
  • This takes you to MusicBrainz, if not already logged in to MusicBrainz then login
  • Select Continue this now loads the release editor with the information from Acoustid Album
  • If Release Duplicates tab is enabled take a look as it may have found potential duplicate album, if it has don’t add the album
  • If not then on Basic tab review the information, may need to tidy up Title and may be able to add Language/Script/Country if familiar with artist and these are not completed
  • Then on Track List tab, need to either set a medium format if you know or just click the I don’t know checkbox
  • May also want to select the Guess Case button to tidy up track titles
  • Go to Edit Note tab and select Enter Edit, that is it.
