Names and covers · Muliber Help

See how the update is going

While Muliber refines your library, a small gray spinner turns next to the Library title. Tap it to open Updating your library: it shows what's being refined now and how many albums, single tracks, and covers are left. When everything is done, the spinner goes away.

While the spinner turns, there's nothing to fix by hand: albums without covers or with raw names will get their turn.

How long it takes

Following MusicBrainz rules, the app sends the catalog at most one request per second. A hundred albums take a few minutes, and a collection of several thousand albums can take several hours, sometimes a day. Recently added music is recognized first.

Speed also depends on your internet connection and on whether the catalog and the cover server respond. If there's no connection or a service doesn't answer, Updating your library says what Muliber is waiting for. It continues on its own once things work again.

If an album isn't recognized

Albums with no single exact edition are listed under Can be refined by hand in Updating your library. Pick the edition yourself:

Open the album, tap ⋮ at the top, and choose Fix details.
Check the artist and album name, then tap Find.
Tap the matching edition.
On the Album tracks screen, check that every track is in its place. To move a track, tap it and choose a place.
Tap Done.

To undo your choice, open Fix details again and tap Restore original.

If a cover never appeared or isn't right, choose your own as described in Albums, artists, and covers.

Turn off recognition

Open Settings → Recognition and turn off MusicBrainz. New requests stop, and the names and covers already found stay. Names and covers for new music then come from the files only.

For recognition, Muliber sends only album and track names and artist names. Your files, folder paths, storage addresses, and listening history stay on your phone.
