Store music database IDs in txt file

I found that you are using MusicBrainz database to get song information such as year, genre, artist, etc.

I think it makes sense to add the MBID to the txt file for future reference.
For example, other tools or games may use it to provide a link with further info to MusicBrainz.com or to fetch the album art if not present yet.

Suggestions for the UltraStar txt header fields: MBID_RECORD, MBID_ARTIST, MBID_RELEASE_GROUP, etc.

But isn’t artist = artists['artist-list'][0]['name'] simply taking the first artist of the search result, no matter if it is correct or not? It might be highly likely the very first entry, but in case it’s not a perfect match, it might also be some other entry of the search results, right? So it is dangerous to add MBID to a song based on best-guessing, isn’t it? (same for release group).

@bohning yeah thats true. I think it would be enough if we implement a better checker.
I also planing to trigger the search manually. See #75
That would help with odd youtube names.

Good point.

If the user specifies a MBID manually, then it might make sense to save this for future reference.

In contrast, an automatically chosen MBID might cause issues.

@achimmihca Good point by just providing the MBID.

Will be added, when specification is done in UltraStar-Deluxe/format

[rakuri255]

The result from UltraStar-Deluxe/format#19 is, that it will be not added to the format.
So i close this as "wont do"
