foo_musicbrainz, MusicBrainz Tagger Options

[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.

I would love to see a couple of things in the next releases:

An option to write a Release Group tag rather than Release (so an album and it's bonus disc are not treated as separate albums)

An option to write an original release date, rather than re-releases (so an old album doesn't figure as new on my list, just because of those two additional tracks)
