Problem manually matching to MusicBrainz album

Hi Paul,

Been enjoying Jaikoz for quite a while and it’s been a huge help going through my large library.

Even when the auto match doesn’t work, usually I can find a match in Musicbrainz and manually use the MBID to match the tracks.

I’m running into a couple of issues recently where it seems like the tracks should match (correct disc numbers, correct number of tracks) but it gives a “unable to find suitable release” error.

I am using the “Match songs to specified Musicbrainz album” option.

example is 1) MBID 0d000068-7d24-4f38-9985-9591384dbb12
Beethoven String Quartets 8 discs by Tokyo string quartet. Correct 71 tracks. Refuses to match.

second example is MBID ed0fede4-ffdc-449f-9f7e-2eeb4ab91ead
This is Fidelio by LSO and Colin Davis. This one is less straightforward as the MB discs are listed multiple times by SACD vs CD layer, and i am only matching to the SACD DSF tracks.

Any thoughts? I will submit a report.

One more thought. When I do an auto match and the match fails, but says “3 possible releases to check” - is it reasonable to have a link or option where the 3 possible releases are listed for us to manually pick? As it is the message is of no help as I cannot see or do anything with the “3 possible releases” etc.

maybe some tracks have a different length

or try: Manual Correct Metadata from Music Brainz

Difficult to say really, there is not enough debug information in Jaikoz to really work it out. If you could try Songkong Lite and see if that also fails I can probably work it out from the songkong logs.
