> [@outsidecontext](#): > > On a side note you probably want to use the lookup button instead of scan That’s a clever advice, in tagging approach ! I never realised that. 👏😺 I’ve always used the **Scan** button because I have always merely used Picard as a [PUID](http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/PUID)/[AcoustID](http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/AcoustID) submission tool (unfortunately, though, I have to rip for that so I tend to submit fewer stuff nowadays, no time to rip). Besides that, the **Scan** button can also be useful if you have a `02 - Track 02.wav` file and you don’t know what it is. Sometimes, if someone has submitted its fingerprint, you could find the artist and work name. Such a cool stuff ! It happened to me once or twice or more, and I was so grateful. 🐈 This is why, even if I submit them less and less because of necessary ripping, I still do it for stuff I really like in music, so to people could find those I recommend, at least. Strange behaviour, isn’t it ? 😽 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/do-i-have-to-hit-the-save-button-after-scanning-music-in-picard/20489)._
