Hi,
how to get the MusicBrainzAlbumID from the music library (table:album, field: strMusicBrainzAlbumID)?

Thank you for your help.

[Martijn]

With jsonrpc you can request these

Thanks Martijn,
Is it possible to do this only in the skin? (do not want to write additional scripts)

No not as far as I know.

None of the musicbrainz ids are exposed to the skin using info labels, but I'm not sure why that is. I get that mbids look technical, and most users don't want to see them or have any need to, but I can't see any reason not to make all the data in the library available. Then a skinner could choose to show them. Anyone?

Acting as a user with technical skills, when I can't get an artist or album to scrape I usually dig into the db (or my myusic file tags) to check if there are mbids. It would be much easier if there was just a view or level of dialog I could use that showed them.
