MB3 Musicbrainz Search Failure on Album

[ginjaninja 605]

Version 3.0.5171.19958

 

I presume its ok to store music in  structure W:\MUSIC\%ALBUMARTIST%\(%Year%) %album%?

 

MB3 Is still struggling to find musicbrainz matches when it prefixes the year in the MBZ API search terms (I make the presumption...... when it uses the filesytem folder name in the search terms)

For example

2014-03-09 17:36:14.4813 Info - App: HttpClientManager GET: http://www.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query="(2013)+ARTPOP" AND arid:650e7db6-b795-4eb5-a702-5ea2fc46c848

2014-03-09 17:36:14.9394 Debug - App: MusicBrainzAlbumProvider returned no metadata for \\Q6600\Music\Lady GaGa\(2013) ARTPOP

 

Sometimes MB3 seems to use filesytem folder name and sometimes the tag (this instance was a .flac based album) when searching MBZ.

 

Its worth noting that when the release tag is used in search terms it accepts the year prefix

for example

http://www.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query=release:(2013)%20ARTPOP%20AND%20arid:650e7db6-b795-4eb5-a702-5ea2fc46c848

 

so maybe this points to a more reliable way to search MBZ?

 

i believe have recreated this issue twice now
