hmmm… OK, so I am trying the 2nd method, by adding a new release, adding all discs manually in a single new release (and adding disc IDs, track lengths, etc later) but boy oh boy… yikes. Anyway, I did it, please have a look here: [https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/3c3c0cdd-b8af-4792-b4e7-af10ec7ec459](https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/3c3c0cdd-b8af-4792-b4e7-af10ec7ec459) and let me know if I did it correctly. I chose “digital media” for the three MP3-CD discs, as they require a specific mp3-enabled cd player to use. Unfortunately, I don’t have one of those, so I won’t be able to upload their CD disc IDs. (Although this time I did figure out how to add “performed by” to the artist name. Sheesh. I’m normally not this dense! 😃 I can do CLI server admin all day, but web interfaces are another story 😄 ) Haven’t added the disc ID’s yet, which will, hopefully, add in the track times. I kept wishing for a text upload for all the titles, etc. I do have all that, already here. I could certainly parse/delimit/whatever is needed to suit the server requirements for fields/data type/etc to conform. The one-by-one entry is … yikes. Anyway, as you can see, it took 9 hours. If I could have just copy/pasted delimited text in for the discs, I probably could have done it in much much much less time. But perhaps that is what the large-ish text box is for on the add medium pop-up, manual add? I couldn’t find any documentation regarding any text I would copy/paste into the box, however. Didn’t want to create another 6 day mess-up, so I typed all the entries in individually. g’nite, -Alys --- _[View the full topic](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/new-and-dreadfully-confused-adding-audiobook-multi-disc-new-release-groups/216864)._
