How is the MusicBrainz ID determined for multiple matches?

For the most part, the scanner picks up the correct artists and downloads the metadata correctly. However, there are always a few non uniquely-named artists that have multiple entries in MusicBrainz. Nirvana and Genesis comes to mind.

 

When checking what MusicBrainz ID was detected, it gets the name right but it always picks an obscure artist ID, and not the one you expect it to. When you do a manual search on the MusicBrainz website, the ID you expect is always on the top of the list

 

With that said, is current Emby behavior suppose to choose the most popular MusicBrainz ID when presented with an artist name with multiple entries on the website? Or is this a bug of sorts?

Hi, we use the music brainz search api and then take the first result.

If that's the case, then I am definitely experiencing a bug that I'll need to elaborate more on in the beta forums
