Hi Everyone,

I don't understand how it's possible I am not to find AcoustID after generating AcoustID on MusicBrainz

1. No I don't use MB services
2. Yes, I use AcoustID as UID

I try to get a Fingerprint for a MAXIMUM of songs, but that appears

![c4b1e77f41acf50a615d9f350a62b195dd12374d_2_666x500](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/b/badf6bd9673a788dbf49d9a77e80810c9df07a95.jpeg)

I am not able to find the FP on MP3tag but it's visible on MusicBrainz, also on KID3D, what is the problem, because ACOUSTID\_FINGERPRINT is preconfigured, it can't be an settings error, it is something linked with Tag format ?

Many thanks

I can see the ID3 tags `ACOUSTID_ID`, the `ACOUSID_FINGERPRINT` and the `ACOUSTID DURATION` with Mp3tag on a track tagged with MusicBrainz Picard:

 ![AcoustID_ID](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d4ce1cadc7d175ebde867fa1490189d58d75dcc8.png)

But not to give false hopes:  
Picard will NOT write the fingerprint inside the ID3 tag.

For the record:  
You don't generate the "AcoustID on MusicBrainz".  
You locally generate a fingerprint, send the fingerprint to the AcoustID.org-Server and - if matched - get back the AcoustID from AcoustID.org-Server.

I suggest that you ask over there at MusicBrainz how the entire fingerprint process works in detail.
