I've had a look before, I believe you need to get an mbid or something like that (which is musicbrainz song IDs) It's something like that, if need to find a way of getting the mbid.

It seems that tracks may have their own MBID as a metadata. Otherwise, there is this search API: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API/Search

I'll get onto this soon then, It should've been quite easy with how the album art formatting works now.

Most of my tracks do, I use MusicBrainz to add metadata to my music files. I have thought of somehow intergrating an auto metadata adding software to vlc-rpc, but its bulky and strays away from the main purpose.
