Update Musicbrainz more easily

Musicbrainz is a fantastic resource that is maintained by a very knowledgeable user community and Jaikoz uses it to correct your metadata. But the majority of changes to the Musicbrainz data are done manually via their website - this is very time consuming. But Jaikoz can also be used to help improve the data in Musicbrainz, it does this in two ways.

Submission of Musicbrainz Id/Acoustic Id pairs

When you have an Acoustic Id that doesn't currently have a match in the MusicBrainz you have to match your track to a Musicbrainz Id using only the metdata. But once you have identified the track you can submit the Musicbrainz Id/Acoustic Id Pair to the Musicbrainz using the Submit MusicBrainz/Puid Pair action. This helps you and other users of Musicbrainz because now tracks with the same acoustic id will find a match in Musicbrainz even without any metadata.

Identifying Missing Information

We know most about the tracks we own, so we can use Jaikoz to help add missing information to Musicbrainz. Once a track has been matched by Musicbrainz it can have 31 fields populated by Musicbrainz. Because of the way Jaikoz uses a spreadsheet view for the data it is very easy to see in Jaikoz when information is missing and you can use the View this Track at Musicbrainz option to open the track details on the Musicbrainz website to enter the missing details. There are also View this album at Musicbrainz and View this Artist at Musicbrainz options that may be more suitable, it depends on what information you would like to add or amend.

Musicbrainz can populate the Release Discogs url or Release Wikipedia url and if these fields have been populated you can open these from Jaikoz and use the information to complete the Musicbrainz information easily.
