MusicBrainz genre data is an aggregation of lots of differing opinions. But my lay person’s understanding is this: Nobody agrees what music fits in what genres. I am not an expert about genres in MusicBrainz. It picked wrong, and you did not correct it, so Picard added the metadata for the album you did not prefer.Ībout genres: it sounds like you expect Picard to select a genre which you prefer. When Picard saved the audio files, it added the tags to each track for the album it had arbitrarily picked. In your second example in the video, you did not do this process. Once the right album has all of its tracks matched, save it. Once the wrong album has no more matched tracks, remove it. Open the wrong album, drag the matched track from the wrong album to the right track in the right album. You showed in your video that you discovered the correct response. Picard has no good way to tell which album is the one you want, so it picks one arbitrarily. ![]() Picard reads each file (track) in isolation, and matches the audio to those multiple albums. You get the digital audio from one of those compilation albums. Remember that the music industry loves to sell the same recording on one album after another. This is a good part of the forum to start in.Ībout Picard reading your music files from the left part of the window, and putting up not just the correct album in the right part of the window, but also several incorrect albums: that is expected behaviour. They are mostly about how to use the MusicBrainz Picard app. You are asking a lot of different questions. I love it that you demonstrate our effort helping you out. Reading about you getting benefit from the data in MusicBrainz gives me a warm feeling. It helps me, but I also hope that it will help others in the future. I spend a lot of time making entries to my corner of MusicBrainz. Of course, as you get more familiar with working with it, you can tweak the settings even more. Then set the “Maximum number of genres” to 1. In the Metadata Options / Genres section, make sure “Use genres from MusicBrainz” is checked (and possibly uncheck “Use folksonomy tags as genres”). In the Metadata Options / Preferred Releases section, set the “Album” slider all the way to the right (and possibly set everything else all the way to the left). ![]() I generally have the auto clustering turned off as well, but that’s a personal preference. When the files are grouped (clustered) by album, you want to use the “Lookup” function and not the “Scan” function. In the General Options make sure that the “Automatically scan all new files” option is turned OFF. Some settings that you might want to consider: This might provide some additional insights into the use of the program for your use case. Then after creating a custom tag for 'MUSICBRAINZIDS' in MusicBee, you can use virtual tags to retrieve the desired MBID information.Ĭonsidering MusicBee has twice as much virtual tags than custom tags available, this should be a useful alternative solution.A few suggestions that might help make your journey a little smoother…įirst, you might want to check out the Picard User Guide, in particular the section on Workflows: When files are grouped by album. (well, at least the ones that I think are useful) The script will make Picard create a single tag (called MUSICBRAINZIDS) that contains all MBIDs. To circumvent this problem, I created a Picard script that makes it possible to have all these MusicBrainz ID tags available in MusicBee, using only one custom tag. These tags are not recognised by MusicBee out-of-the-box, so you will need to create custom tags for each of them if you want to use them in MusicBee.īut considering the restricted amount of available custom tag slots, this can pose a problem for some 'power users'. MusicBrainz' Picard can provide several types of MusicBrainz ID tags. ![]() Considering the ongoing interest in Picard/MusicBrainz tagging I thought to update the older post and post it as a dedicated 'Tip & Trick'.) (I've posted this idea a while back already, but it has gotten lost a bit in the general Picard Q & A thread.
