Use Add from Discogs under album.

1) Search in the Add albums from discogs box using artist or keyword (use album title here)
2) Select the entry that matches your cd release code (discogs usually has several entries for any album)
3) Might also check for which discogs entry has the best credits, musician and recording data (discogs is much better on this than freedb)
4) Change the format to CD if it isn't that already
5) Under the Misc tab add the album path

I was using this even when freedb was still available as discogs provides more - and more accurate - information than freedb

Thanks guys. I actually finally stumbled on adding via Discogs. At first i didn't like it, but once i got a system down it wasn't much slower. I usually enter the label # from the spine. The only issues so far is 2CD's take some extra steps to break in to two discs. (i have to add the album twice and edit the tracks.) The other issue is unlike before where i put in the CD for freedb there seems to be no record of the actual physical CD. So i can enter it in and get duplicates if it has been entered previously. So now i've added the step of checking my catalog first to see if it's already been entered. Hopefully that made sense to you.
Have a nice day wherever you are!

An alternate to entering it twice from Discogs (which is what I interpret you doing), you can duplicate the album - it's under Tools. You then have to do all the things you do when adding it twice plus making sure the titles of the two albums are the same (OCD adds a (1) to the duplicate). One of the longstanding, never fulfilled, requests was to have a function that would break an entry into separate discs.

OH, thanks!
