get musicbrainz data based only on release id

[hoffoo]

Does it make sense to continue with release id data even if the disk id isn't on musicbrainz?

Eh. Why wouldn't it? The DiscID's sole purpose is to get the MusicBrainz Release ID. If you already have the Release MBID, the DiscID is superfluous.

[hoffoo]

Okay that's what I thought, currently it seems the disk id is required, unless im just using it wrong.

[Freso]

There's a command line option to feed it a Release MBID if the DiscID can't be found for whatever reason. (If you have a proper CD, a DiscID can always be generated, even if it will not always exist in the MusicBrainz database.)

I saw that and I gave a release Id - the musicbrainz entry doesnt have any disk ids, even with the -R flag it still treated it as an unknown album. Am I missing something? Looking at the code I only see it look up by disk id

I would love to get this feature too.
