Hello, this looks wicked. Full stop.

Hopefully with the release field, I will now be able to record my listens to my favourite song automatically.

Thanks so much for developing this, I cannot wait until it goes live.

@rob You’re amazing! I’ll do some tests tomorrow. Thanks!

This release group Release group “Moments” by Lull - MusicBrainz consists of releases where each recording is named “Moment xx”, where xx is a number between 1 and 100. The recordings are officially untitled, but they all have a recording name alias “Moment xx”.

It appears that the mapper always finds the same recording, no matter which number there is in the search term, and the result is always “Moment 1”. I could swear that in my previous testing few days ago the result was always “Moment 35”, but it changed now. Example search: ListenBrainz MBID Mapper 2.0.

Hiya!

Sorry for the delay, January was really brutal on me.

Thanks for digging up this edge case – while I won’t do much to improve this general case right now, I saw that only one recording_alias was processed per artist, which is… useless in this case.

A future update should make this work better – for the short/medium term the recording_aliases are going to be key!

Thanks!

Everyone: I’ve turned on automatic updates and now any data entered into MusicBrainz should show up about an hour later in the mapper.

Please test this to make sure that the data update system is working.

Thanks!

Worked perfectly with a release I added this morning

Thanks for checking – please keep checking for a bit, this is an area where bugs can creep out over time.

Thanks!
