[mb-users] bad puid

[Frederic Da Vitoria]

Hello

I was tagging Peter Gabriel's Ovo with Picard. I had to do a Lookup because
Picard didn't load it automatically (now I guees why) and this is what I
got:
http://musicbrainz.org/taglookup.html?tport=8000&artist=Peter%20Gabriel&release=OVO%3A%20Millennium%20Show&track=The%20Story%20of%20OVO&tracknum=1&duration=321480&filename=01-The%20Story%20of%20OVO.mp3&puid=9d525afa-0272-f0d8-780d-7739b32cdf19

Of course, this can't be right. for the first track, two tracks that have
different durations should not have the same PUIDs. I actually have standard
release, so I know which is correct and how to correct MB.

I supposed first someone had mistakenly tagged his release with the limited
edition (the one with "Low Light") when he actually had the standard release
(the one with "The Story of Ovo"). I checked the PUIDs for the first track
of the limited edition and it seemed to confirm my idea. This brings my
first question: does anybody have suggestions on how to (help) avoid using a
bad release in Picard?

But I continued my investigations and I checked the second track's PUIDs.
Now I am quite confused (and/or worried!) There seem to be a lot of
collisions in the PUIDs (or did I accidentally stumble on a coincidence?) Is
this expected? If so, shouldn't Picard use PUID+duration instead of PUID
alone?
