My bad I think I misunderstood your question about musicbrainzId. It is used internally : - as a key for albums and artists to properly handle duplicated names. - to retreive audio data analysis from AcousticBrainz

If you have musicbrainz identifiers in your file, it is assumed the other tags (artist, album, etc.) are correct and are directly used.

Thanks for this and the additional information above. Both answers were informative.

This is the first time I heard of AcousticBrainz and its sig (https://acousticbrainz.org/e73f3d92-4e9f-4db4-943a-41978d9db...). Nice! From the ones that brought us MusicBrainz right?

> what do you have in mind actually? I am not sure since the goal here is to play the music on the device from which you access to the server.

ncmpcpp is a music client, but for the mpd music server. Not sure if LMS <-> MPD do the same things. compare ncmpcpp to mpc, but w/ ncurses + c++. It has directory-based navigation which makes it easy to move through music.

Look forward to watching this project grow!

Yes, actually MusicBrainz and AcousticBrainz are part of MetaBrainz (see https://metabrainz.org/projects) There is even a ListenBrainz project :)
