Harmony: Music Metadata Aggregator and MusicBrainz Importer

I’ve seen a few cases where Beatport releases won’t show up on permalinks even after they are found. Usually this occurs when you searched for a release with a link from one of the other platforms, a Beatport equivalent is found, but it won’t be kept for the permalink.

One recent example of mine: Search with Apple Music link
A Beatport release is found among equivalents in other platforms.
Clicking on the Permalink however, the Beatport release isn’t listed, with the red box above explicitly stating that it wasn’t found.

Interestingly, this doesn’t occur when using the Beatport link as the primary search parameter. For the same example with the above release: search results and permalink.

This can especially get annoying on those rare (yet still in existence) releases available on both Beatport and Bandcamp, since Harmony can only process already given links for the latter but can’t search for them.
