Could you explain when Picard display the AcoustID in the bottom frame and when not:
I was loading some FLAC files and strangely for most releases it displays the AcoustID field under Date (ex 1.) but for another one it is not displayed (ex 2.)
Both release shave a disc IDs and recordings with AcoustIDs
If you load files into Picard and they show an AcoustID this means this AcoustID was already stored in the tags. If some files donāt have an AcoustID it means they donāt have this in their tags.
To get an AcoustID for a file one needs to first generate the fingerprint for this file and than ask the AcoustID server for a match. In Picard the āScanā function does this.
What exactly happens if you scan those files? Does it match them to the release? Does Picard show the AcoustID in the metadata of those files directly after scanning? Do you save them afterwards?
āGenerate AcoustID Fingerprintsā actually just generates the fingerprints you can use then for submission. It does not do the extra network calls to match a fingerprint to an AcoustID and a MB recording.
