PROGRAM:

NAME

isrcsubmit - isrcsubmit Documentation

SYNOPSIS

isrcsubmit [options] [user] [device]

DESCRIPTION

isrcsubmit extracts International Standard Recording Codes (ISRC) from audio CDs and
allows one to submit the data to MusicBrainz. ISRCs are used to uniquely identifiy sound
and music video recordings.

OPTIONS

--version
Show program's version number and exit.

-h Short usage help.

--help Complete help for the program.

--debug
Show debug messages.

-u <username>, --user=<username>
MusicBrainz username, if not given as argument.

-d <device>, --device=<device>
CD device with a loaded audio CD, if not given as argument. The default is
/dev/cdrom.

--release-id=<release_id>
Optional MusicBrainz ID of the release. This will be gathered if not given.

-b <program>, --backend=<program>
Force using a specific backend to extract ISRCs from the disc. Possible backends
are: mediatools, media_info, cdrdao, libdiscid, discisrc. They are tried in this
order otherwise. See also BACKENDS.

--browser=<browser>
Program to open URLs. This will be automatically deteced for most setups, if not
chosen manually.

--force-submit
Always open TOC/disc ID submission page in browser.

--server=<server>
Server to send ISRCs to. If not given, musicbrainz.org is used.

--keyring
Use keyring if it is available.

--no-keyring
Do not use keyring.

BACKENDS

isrcsubmit is able to use various backends to extract the ISRC. The libdiscid library is
a requirement for isrcsubmit and can also be used as a backend on most systems.

ISRCs are nearly always stored in the subchannel information and all tools read them from
there. However, some drives tend to extract the same ISRC for adjacent tracks.
Restarting the script might help and using a different drive might help. CD writers are
reported to give better results than many CD reader drives.

mediatools, media_info
These tools use an experimental algorithm to gather ISRCs from the disc. This
should give less duplicates on the same drive than with other tools. However,
there might be other problems. (only available for Windows)

cdrdao This tool can read ISRCs from CD-Text if no ISRCs are in the subchannel
information. This is rarely the case. Most ISRCs are stored in the subchannel.
(usually available on Linux, but there are also Windows builds (plank))

libdiscid
Starting with libdiscid 0.3.0 this can be used not only for the disc ID, but also
to extract ISRCs. (Windows, Mac; Linux support with 0.3.1)

discisrc
The discisrc binary is created from source builds of libdiscid. There is an
experimental branch isrc_raw that might give better results regarding duplicate
ISRCs on Linux. You can use this binary separately without installing an
experimental libdiscid library on the system.
