I learned it operates on all the tracks, but I didn't know until I tried it. The text should clarify this. Then I see this:

It's not good to h ave the left listview be tracks and the right listview be albums without any sort of help for the user to figure that out. Anyway, as a new user i'm curious as to what these entries are, so I expand one or two:

What are all the non-bold track names for? They are not related to the original tracks in the left hand pane. I can't have an overview of what this dialog is actually going to do.

When a track found we move it from left side to the right one. On the right table complete album's track list is shown. Albums, that contains a track has a bold text, the same to tracks - all tracks in a album linked to real tracks has a bold text. BTW all tracks are drag-able. So if don't wanna save search result for some tracks, you can drop this tracks to left panel.

Users should not be expected to be familiar with the user interface of another program to feel comfortable with Amarok's user interface. For example, I had no idea i could drag tracks---there are no visual indicators that dragging is possible, nor do I know what dragging would do exactly (why is dragging right->left "choosing not to save results"?). My point with this is that I think we need a better explanation than "it is how Picard does it"---we want Amarok to be as intuitive and user-friendly as possible, regardless of how good or bad other programs are :) I think a few things at least need to be done:

All known by musicdns.org, but It could be some problems due to missed check in CMakeLists, so MusicDNS decomressor/fingerprint-generator should not been compiled at all. Now It fixed, so could you try one more time?

> There are three independent parts:
> 1. MusicBrainzFinder class - used to make requests to MusicBrainz server and process replies. All relies process in separate threads by MusicBrainzXmlParser class. For a search uses guessed from a file name track information.  No external dependences required.
> 2. MusicDNSFinder class - used for the same purpose as MusicBrainzFinder, but i communicate with musicdns server and receives track's PUID as a reply. Replies ether process in separate threads by MusicDNSXmlParser class. Fingerprints generated by libofa (the only external dependence in entire patch). For track decompressing (MusicDNSAudioDecoder class) used xine engine (I'm not sure is It a good choice, but amarok based on phonon media-engine, that uses xine. So we don't deed to pull any other dependences). Received PUIDs sends to MusicBrainzFinder class, for a search routine.
> 3. View. All classes used for store (MusicBrainzTagsModel, MusicBrainzTrackListModel) and display (MusicBrainzTagsModelDelegate) purposes.
