I usually use the AcoustID Fingerprinter from https://acoustid.org/fingerprinter. It’s quite old, but still seems to do the job. I find it much easier than trying to submit them through Picard.
EDIT: I should have mentioned that I do this after I tag the files with Picard.
I agree, but be sure that you have properly tagged the files first. Also, don’t get confused between the AcousticBrainz Extractor and the AcoustID Fingerprinter. They collect and submit different information to different places, although the UI is identical for both.
This is a bug in the current release version, see the ticket below. It has already been fixed quite some time ago, but no new release yet. Btw, sorry for my current silence. I try to read the forums, but hardly find the time to respond currently
