[Abcde-users] Forcing abcde to use a known DiscID

[Christian Weiske]

Hello Michel,

Yes, understanding the Musicbrainz structure is hard at first.

Running the tool gives you an ID and an URL:
$ abcde-musicbrainz-tool 
JhAP0et3qhXgj23tfp1zwa8hLco- 11 150 16840 37452 55435 75537 95600

When opening that URL in the browser, you can search for the artist and
then select the release with the same number of songs in it, and the ID
gets attached to it.
