They are actually album id’s since MB tends to use only one entry for
"identical" re-releases. This -might- pose a problem for collectors
that collect several releases of the "same" album, I must admit
(thinking of old Blues and Jazz records). The real "obscure" releases
you might have to enter into their database before. (Which I usually
do—an album that is not on MB is "non-existant" for me. And it helps
others tagging, if you enter your albums and disc id’s, of course.)

Re MusicIP: I hope they will have fixed breaking tags in the next
release … grrr … seems it only works as intended when using either
FLAC, OGG or MP3 with ID3v2.3/ISO-8859-1 or ID3v2.4/UTF-8. Version
1.8.1b breaks my ID3v2.3/UTF-16 tags (by rewriting some unreadable
ID3v2.3/ISO data instead).

The -good- point: As long as you can stick with ID3v2.3/ISO and -not-
use their "tag fixing" stuff, analysis will only write their two tags
and leave even the most obscure other tags intact (like Picard’s XSOP).
I hope they will never change that. It’s a good practice to "not touch
what you don’t know about".

I’ll have to check if SC already secretly -uses- the MB album id—I
-know- I have seen it being read somewhere...
