Hello everybody,
In my music collection i have a lot of song, which have no MB ID. When i have look to MB there is some found and some not. Is there any option to send the Files to MB to get in the futures this tracks also the right tags and covers and so on?
In my settings i have the settings for “Submit to MB”.
Can anyone help me? Is there any oportunity to manual add them to MB?
Thanks
Merlin
Sure, and it’s pretty simple.
You need to get an account at MB (musicbrainz.org) and sign in. You can then add things in MB directly or use the “Submit to MB” in Jaikoz. If you use Jaikoz you’ll have all the info uploaded automatically, so fill out as much as you can beforehand.
You need to find sources to ensure your info is correct. Try Amazon.com, allmusic.com, discogs.com, lastfm.com, or the actual CD in you hand. Once you sign in, you can see other people’s edits, and there’s a ton of them, and see how they put stuff in. Later you’ll get into voting where you double-check their entries.
Try it out, fill out as much as you can in Jaikoz and “Submit new Release”, then MB does a step 1, step 2, step 3 kinda thing where is asks for more info or “are you sure”, and you put your sources in at the end and hit Save. If you get it wrong, you (or someone else) can fix it.
I forgot… Once you have an MB account, Go to Preferences>Musicbrainz>Submissions and put in your user/pass (and make sure the server is http://musicbrainz.org). I’ve read that there’s problems with Jaikoz auto logging in, but I haven’t had problems with it.
Also, when you are done tagging files; Before you close them hit the “Submit MB/PUID pair” button in the toolbar. That sends that PUID relationship to MB so the next person can match faster with the same PUID.
And one thing more.
If you want the MB-Id’s back in to your files , go to the release (album) page you just registered in MusicBrainz and select the Detail button. On the Detail page you’ll find the MBID of the release. Copy this MBID and then go to Jaikoz: Action -> Match to Release -> Match songs to Specified MusicBrainz Release. Paste the MBID in the field “Please enter MusicBrainz Release ID” and click OK.
After you have received the MB Unique Id and the MB Release ID, then
“Submit MusicBrainz/PUID pair”
AND
“Submit MusicBrainz/AcouticId pair”
