==MusicBrainz Server== |
|||
These fields tells Picard where to find the MusicBrainz server it uses for metadata lookups. Supply two pieces of information: |
|||
* '''Server address:''' the domain name for the server. Default value: <code><nowiki>musicbrainz.org</nowiki></code> (for the main MusicBrainz server). |
|||
* '''Port:''' the port number for the server. An integer. One server name can communicate through thousands of different port numbers. Default value: 80 (for the main MusicBrainz server). |
|||
==Account Information== |
|||
These fields tell Picard how to login to the MusicBrainz server when it submits [[PUID]]s and [[Disc ID|DiscID]]s from your discs. Supply two pieces of information: |
|||
* '''Username''': Supply the same thing you enter as user name when you log in to the MusicBrainz web site. |
|||
* '''Password''': Supply the same thing you enter as password when you log in to the MusicBrainz web site. It is displayed with "*" characters in place of the actual characters, for security reasons. |
|||
==Automatically Analyze All New Files== |
|||
This option tells Picard whether to "scan" the music files you open, in order to look up Portable Unique IDentifiers [[PUID]]s for the files. It looks up PUIDs from the [[MusicDNS]] service, not from [[MusicBrainz]]. If it find them, it can store them in your music files, where it is a helpful but optional identifier should you update your metadata. It can also store them at [[MusicBrainz]], where they are an even more helpful identifier for future people tagging their own copy of that same track. It takes Picard a minute or two to scan each music file. |
|||
Check this box if you want Picard to scan each music file and look for a PUID. This takes time, but may be helpful for you and MusicBrainz. Leave it unchecked if you don't want Picard to do this scan automatically. |
|||
In any case, you can direct Picard to can a particular music file using the ''Scan'' button in the main UI. |
