Thanks for your answers guys! My idear was just to add a fake tag instead of an actual correct musicbrainz_id tag. But since I did not understand how the MusicIP PUID and the MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID corresponded I choose to use the correct PUID/TrackID. It took my a while to find out what the genpuid tool does and how it is related to the MusicMagicServer. Also how the PUID then is used to gather the TrackID through Picard was not clear to me. Although I really appreciate the puddletag tool (looking forward to replace EasyTag with it), I still prefer to have some manual control instead of running some mass taggig. And since I already spend the time to lookup to albums in the Musicbrainz database I want all tags ;-) There is just one more question... Most of my songs are now tagged with the MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID. Is a full rescan enough to get it to the track_statistics musicbrainz_id data field or do I have to do that by myself? -- Blu3IcE System: Ubuntu, SqueezeCenter-Version: 7.5.1 - r30836 Player: Squeezebox v3 @ Bose LifeStyle Series III Plugins: TrackStat, SugarCube, Dynamic Playlists, AutoDim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blu3IcE's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13792 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84301 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
