Bug Description

Workflow: When looking up metadata on MusicBrainz and making a match, story the MBIDs associated with that match in the file's metadata.

The obvious and immediate use case for storing the matched MusicBrainz IDs would be easier look-ups for updated data on MusicBrainz, but a more far-sighted perspective is that these MBIDs could be used for looking up data from additional sources too. E.g., acoustic data (tonality/key, bpm, female/male/instrumental vocals, ...) from AcousticBrainz, listening data (what recordings are commonly played in relation to this recording) from ListenBrainz, etc. MetaBrainz itself has a handful of services that talk MBIDs, but a number of MetaBrainz' supporters also allow using MBIDs in interfacing with them: https://metabrainz.org/supporters - and a number of audio file players/taggers also have some level of MBID support, in case files from a Mixxx library were ever played outside of Mixxx… ;)

The MusicBrainz Picard website hosts a table of the de facto MBID-to-audio-tag mappings: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/mappings/

Related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/728197 that deals with re-enabling tag writing.

Implementation of this feature can be started independently.

Will be possible with https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/2406 and enabling support for extra metadata (experimental). Extra metadata will not be stored in database, but only in file tags.

MusicBrainz UUIDs are now fetched and stored in file tags (if export is enabled), but not saved in the database.
