I red a suggestion to use the information that a file is member of an album when matching musicbrainz metadata. I'd like to repeat that that would be a great option

for example - only 1 file in a directory is not matched, the others are all matched to the same album. One track that belongs to the album according to musicbrainz IS not matched to any file yet --> it should probably be matched to the file that hasn't been assigned metadata to.

Ill take a look at something that takes the folder into consideration

Another cool feature would be if there would be a right mouse click option 'find album/artist in wikipedia'. This seems really easy to implement and would make a lot of information easily accessible

You are right this should be easy to add.

I would find this extremely useful!!! I have a lot of albums where 1 or 2 songs appear to be missing from MusicBrainz. Another way to do it is that if they don't all match then the album for the entire group doesn't match (different release, etc.). I've often seen songs in an album match up to the single song or ep release instead of the full album. Makes for a lot of manual analysis and editing.

Album matching has been improved in the forthcoming release, out before the end of January.

Just in case the new automatic logic doesn't fully work...

If the update from existing musicbrainz tag action item would also consider using the disc or release ID (and song title) to find the unique song ID if the song id didn't exist that would be great. Then you could find the correct album and paste in the release ID in all of the songs, mass select, and update to get all of the info.

Added to todo list.
