I <br>
created a new entry with only the title, medium, and artist. Then I did <br>
an Update Entry on it. I still get a server timeout if I attempt to <br>
update from MusicBrainz, but for my test case, an update from Discogs <br>
did fill in the rest of the information. It remains to be seen how <br>
often that process might work for the rest of my collection (I've only <br>
entered about half of my CDs so far and none of my LPs).</blockquote><div><br></div><div> Since the basic lookup dialog doesn't (yet) have a way to add a complex query that includes separate fields like year or artist, your approach of creating a basic entry and then updating does actually execute a better search. Discogs can use artist, release, and year while Musicbrainz can use artist and release. Both of them also can lookup via barcode if you have a field with that information.</div><div><br></div><div>Robby</div></div></div>
