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.
