from the forum thread.
Picard should be able to fetch both PUID and AcoustID before trying to match them against MB data.
Once both fetched and put into tags we can still keep this priority setting to tell Picard which ID to try to match first (but we add a fallback to the other one).

It means that in the current fingerprinting system, the radio button would designate the preferred fingerprint used for matching on MB. Let's say we selected AcoustID :

Hitting scan button would do for each file

Launch both PUID and AcoustID requests, grey the file
When both PUID and AcoustID responses are back, set PUID and AcoustID tags with found stuff and ungrey the file
Search for an AcoustID match on MB (preference setting)
1. If none matched, search for a PUID on MB

Sort Order:

Please don't assign developers to tickets.

OK sorry, I thought you were the only one on that (great) stuff.

I probably am, but I want to keep the list of tickets assigned to me clean, i.e. only tickets that I intend to work on in near future.

Yes of course, that's right, sorry man.

PS. Sorry to ask this here but maybe you would know if it's possible as quick work-around to write a plugin that adds a button for quick setting toggle ?
If it is I'll try it.

This will not be done. PUID support will be removed after we release 1.0.

No, there is no simple way to work this around. PUIDs are deprecated, I don't see much point in investing time in deprecated technology.

@patate12: I've written a small program that stores MusicIP/Acoustid in audio files, it might be what you want:

Not really but thanks, hrg
The plugin language is so complex and undocumented :/
I just need an option puid/acoustid switcher button. But ok I'll go on living without it.
