NAME
       isrcsubmit - isrcsubmit Documentation


SYNOPSIS
       isrcsubmit [options] [user] [device]


DESCRIPTION
       isrcsubmit extracts International Standard Recording Codes (ISRC) from audio CDs and allows one to submit
       the data to MusicBrainz. ISRCs are used to uniquely identifiy sound and music video recordings.


OPTIONS
       --version
              Show program's version number and exit.

       -h     Short usage help.

       --help Complete help for the program.

       --debug
              Show debug messages.

       -u <username>, --user=<username>
              MusicBrainz username, if not given as argument.

       -d <device>, --device=<device>
              CD device with a loaded audio CD, if not given as argument. The default is /dev/cdrom.

       --release-id=<release_id>
              Optional MusicBrainz ID of the release. This will be gathered if not given.

       -b <program>, --backend=<program>
              Force using a specific backend to extract ISRCs from the disc. Possible backends are:  mediatools,
              media_info,  cdrdao,  libdiscid,  discisrc.  They  are  tried  in  this  order otherwise. See also
              BACKENDS.

       --browser=<browser>
              Program to open URLs. This will be automatically deteced for most setups, if not chosen manually.

       --force-submit
              Always open TOC/disc ID submission page in browser.

       --server=<server>
              Server to send ISRCs to. If not given, musicbrainz.org is used.

       --keyring
              Use keyring if it is available.

       --no-keyring
              Do not use keyring.


BACKENDS
       isrcsubmit is able to use various backends to extract the ISRC.  The libdiscid library is  a  requirement
       for isrcsubmit and can also be used as a backend on most systems.

       ISRCs  are  nearly  always  stored  in  the  subchannel  information  and all tools read them from there.
       However, some drives tend to extract the same ISRC for adjacent tracks.  Restarting the script might help
       and  using  a  different  drive  might help.  CD writers are reported to give better results than many CD
       reader drives.

       mediatools, media_info
              These tools use an experimental algorithm to gather ISRCs from the disc.  This  should  give  less
              duplicates on the same drive than with other tools.  However, there might be other problems. (only
              available for Windows)

       cdrdao This tool can read ISRCs from CD-Text if no ISRCs are in  the  subchannel  information.   This  is
              rarely  the case. Most ISRCs are stored in the subchannel.  (usually available on Linux, but there
              are also Windows builds (plank))

       libdiscid
              Starting with libdiscid 0.3.0 this can be used not only for the  disc  ID,  but  also  to  extract
              ISRCs.  (Windows, Mac; Linux support with 0.3.1)

       discisrc
              The  discisrc  binary is created from source builds of libdiscid.  There is an experimental branch
              isrc_raw that might give better results regarding duplicate ISRCs on  Linux.   You  can  use  this
              binary separately without installing an experimental libdiscid library on the system.
