Use MusicBrainz track ID tags to search for matches #496

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When no information is otherwise discovered for tracks/albums (and ideally in 
the case of any ambiguity to try to resolve the ambiguity without manual 
intervention) it would seem natural for beets to use the MusicBrainz track IDs 
for the individual tracks in order to identify the track.

It's true: the importer currently uses MB release IDs to find matches but not 
track IDs. This is partially because looking up each track in MB will take many 
requests and therefore some extra time -- so, if we implement this, it will 
need to be as a fallback when initial matches are not satisfactory.
