[Dremora]

Allows tagging files using data from MusicBrainz.

Features:

• Fetches data by automatically calculated MusicBrainz Disc ID, existing Artist/Album or MusicBrainz Album ID tags;
• Uses the latest version of MusicBrainz web service, which corresponds to the NGS data model;
• Supports many different tags, including artist, album, date, tracknumber/totaltracks, discnumber/totaldiscs, label, catalognumber, barcode etc.;
• Supports MusicBrainz-specific tags: Artist ID, Album ID, Release Group ID, Disc ID, Track ID, album type, album status;
• Missing TOCs can be submitted to MusicBrainz from the context menu.

For the list of planned features, see issue tracker.

Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated!

Note regarding TOC submission:
Submit new TOCs to MusicBrainz only if you know what you are doing. Use only full rips from trusted sources (so, most likely, the files should orignate from a CD of your own). Choose release wisely — if your version of an album doesn't exist, add a new one. That means, if you don't know the version, don't submit.
To submit TOC, select all tracks belonging to a single disc and choose “Tagging → Add TOC to MusicBrainz” from the context menu. This feature is available only for registered MusicBrainz users.

Really useful plugin. I like the interface alot, nice and simple and clean. You might want to look at the discogs plugin for some ideas for further development.

For me, it would be nice if you could support custom tag mapping including not saving certain information as tags. For example, I like putting the full date in the %release date% tag and keeping the default date tag a four digit year value.
