Tutorial: Add to MusicBrainz: Example 1

Previous
Next

So here we have an example of adding a regular album, SongKong tries to add in all the details but the process is not totally automated we need to check and possibly make some edits or searches.

Release Artist

If the Artist field is greyed out some of the names may not be linked to a MusicBrianz Artist Id and this would need resolving via the Edit button but in this case the Artist field is green so there is no issue.

Release Duplicates

The Release Duplicates tab is greyed out so no potential duplicates found

TrackList

On the tracklist we may need to check case of titles, athough in this case they appear correct.

We need to select a Format or check the I don’t know option. Since we got this from Bandcamp we can select Digital media

Recordings

If SongKong could match the tracks to existing recordings via AcoustIds they are linked here, but in this case new recordings need to be created for each track

Edit Note

The Edit Note summarizes the information to be added, and also highlights any issues that need addressing before it can be submitted

No problems here. Note that in the edit note we detail this is being added via SongKong. Also in this case the songs were orignally matched from Bandcamp so it automatically adds a Url relationship to the Bandcamp release.

Submit to MusicBrainz

So everything appears okay so lets submit the new release by selecting Enter Edit button

Once created it shows you the new release

Link New release to our songs

Go to report and select they folder we have just added

Select Copy to copy the folder path

Paste Into Selected Folder field

Select Match to One Album, and start the task

It should bring back the new MusicBrainz release we added, if it does not then we can force retrieval by entering the url of the newly created MusicBrainz release in the Enter MusicBrainz or Url Discogs Url field

We can select and link to the new release.
