Return the number of artist returned in this query. Return the number of lookup results returned in this query. Return the number of tracks returned in this query. Return the number of trmids returned in this query. Get the general return status of this query. Values for this include OK or fuzzy. Fuzzy is returned when the server made a fuzzy match somewhere while handling the query. Return the artist id associated with the album of the lookup result. Return the album id of the lookup result.

Return the first track number from the table of contents from the CD. Return the last track number (total number of tracks on the CD) from the table of contents from the CD. Return the number of sectors for the nth track. One ordinal argument must be given to specify the track. Track 1 is a special lead-out track, and the actual track 1 on a CD can be retrieved as track 2 and so forth. Return the sector offset from the nth track. One ordinal argument must be given to specify the track. Track 1 is a special lead-out track, and the actual track 1 on a CD can be retrieved as track 2 and so forth.

Return the ID of the currently selected track. Return the name of the currently selected track. Return the track number in the currently selected track. Get the type of an advanced relationships ilnk. Pleaes note that these relatnship types can change over time! Get the direction of a link between two like entities. This data element will only be present for links between like types (eg artist-artist links) and IFF the link direction is reversed of what the RDF implies. Get the artist id that this link points to. Get the artist name that this link points to. Get the album id that this link points to. Get the album name that this link points to. Get the vocal/instrument attributes. Must pass an ordinal to indicate which attribute to get. Get the track id that this link points to. Get the track name that this link points to. Get the URL that this link points to. The MusicBrainz artist id used to indicate that an album is a various artist album. Internal use only. This query is use to start an authenticated session with the MB server. The username is sent to the server, and the server responds with session id and a challenge sequence that the client needs to use to create a session key. The session key and session id need to be provided with the MBQ\_SubmitXXXX functions in order to give moderators/users credit for their submissions. This query will be carried out by the client libary automatically -- you should not need to use it. Lookup metadata for one file. This function can be used by tagging applications to attempt to match a given track with a track in the database. The server will attempt to match an artist, album and track during three phases. If at any one lookup phase the server finds ONE item only, it will move on to to the next phase. If no items are returned, an error message is returned. If more then one item is returned, the end-user will have to choose one from the returned list and then make another call to the server. To express the choice made by a user, the client should leave the artistName/albumName empty and provide the artistId and/or albumId empty on the subsequent call. Once an artistId or albumId is provided the server will pick up from the given Ids and attempt to resolve the next phase. Use this query to find albums by name. This function returns an albumList for the given album name. Use this query to find artists by name. This function returns an artistList for the given artist name. Use this function to find TRM Ids that match a given artistName and trackName, This query returns a trmidList. Use this query to find tracks by name. This function returns a trackList for the given track name. Retrieve an albumList from a given Album id. Retrieve an artistList from a given Artist id. Use this query to look up a CD from MusicBrainz. This query will examine the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive specified by *set\_device()* and then send the CD-ROM data to the server. The server will then find any matching CDs and return then as an albumList. Use this query to return an albumList for the given CD Index Id. Use this query to examine the table of contents of a CD. This query will examine the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive specified by *set\_device()*, and then let the use extract data from the table of contents using the MBQ\_TOCXXXXX functions. No live net connection is required for this query. Retrieve an trackList from a given Track id. Retrieve an trackList from a given TRM Id. Use this query to return the basic metadata information (artistname, albumname, trackname, tracknumber) for a given track mb id. Internal use only. Submit a single TrackId, TRM Id pair to MusicBrainz. This query can handle only one pair at a time, which is inefficient. The user may wish to create the query RDF text by hand and provide more than one pair in the rdf:Bag, since the server can handle up to 1000 pairs in one query. Use this query to return the metadata information (artistname, albumname, trackname, tracknumber) for a given trm id. Optionally, you can also specifiy the basic artist metadata, so that if the server cannot match on the TRM id, it will attempt to match based on the basic metadata. In case of a TRM collision (where one TRM may point to more than one track) this function will return more than on track. The user (or tagging app) must decide which track information is correct. Retrieve an artistList with advanced relationships from a given artist id Retrieve an albumList with advanced relationships from a given album id Retrieve a trackList with advanced relationships from a give track id Use this query to change the current context back one level. Use this query to reset the current context back to the top level of the response. Use this Select Query to select an album from an query that returns a list of albums. Giving the argument 1 for the ordinal selects the first album in the list, 2 the second and so on. Use MBE\_AlbumXXXXXX queries to extract data after the select.
