Rather than File > Import Musicbrainz Release / Discogs, where you input artist and release name, make possible to provide a URL and have the metadata parsed. For example tag files by providing a URL such as:

https://musicbrainz.org/release/c69d328a-5ea0-4b08-a4f7-93e6ac196563

or:

https://www.discogs.com/release/1048226-Electric-Six-Se%C3%B1or-Smoke

Reason: Research from Discogs/Musicbrainz may be already open in browser; faster to transport URL into kid3 than looking up information again within the program.

This should now be fixed in version git20220709 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/kid3/files/kid3/development/. You can enter URLs in the first search field of the corresponding import dialog.

Comment 2 Urs Fleisch 2022-08-06 05:03:55 UTC

Fixed in version 3.9.2.
