picard is still having trouble automatically matching the right tracks
once I've moved the files to the MBz release.  It seems like it's only
using the track lengths for matching.  How can I get the fingerprint
matching working?  I remember reading that I need to upload
fingerprints from all of my CDs with some Windows-only MusicIP
software.  Is that the only thing to do?
