TrackStat uses Musicbrainz Id tags, not PUID's. PUID's are just a way
for the Musicbrainz tagging software, for example picard, to find the
appropriate Musicbrainz Id more automatically. You need the Musicbrainz
tag to get the extra functionality in TrackStat and I think neither
MusicIP nor genpuid will write any Musicbrainz tags. To get Musicbrainz
id's you need to use puddletag, picard or some other tool that support
retrieval of Musicbrainz tags.

I believe PUID's are almost but not completely unique. Musicbrainz
switched from TRM to PUID in their picard tagger because PUID's were
more unique.

Sounds like a lot, I've got a feeling something is wrong if this really
is different songs.
Just out of interest, are they very similar or are we talking about
completely different tracks with a lot of silence in the beginning or
some other kind of similarity ?
Are we talking about cuesheets ?
