If one CD TOC exists for a CD, it uses that one.However if there is some existing track times that don't match the DiscID, the times may not be added automatically. When a DiscID is added track times may not show up immediately but will usually populate within 24 hours. You will see the release page with the "Thank you, your edit has been accepted and applied" message on top of the page. You now have successfully attached your DiscID to a release.

When you're done, just press the "Enter edit" button. This is one of the few cases where edit notes are not that important, although writing down the release barcode and/or catalog number can be useful. You will be asked to provide an edit note.

Note: Please do not add DiscIDs from homeburnt CDs. If submitting Disc IDs is all you want you can also use libdiscid to create a small tool or submit them together with ISRCs with one of the tools listed on ISRC#Resources. You can also add Disc IDs with several CD rippers, like Sound Juicer, Max and CUERipper. Note: the screenshots below are based on Picard 2.3.1. Also, if you add a Disc ID to a release you are adding, it helps to show that you know this information is correct, and will add track times to the songs. Disc IDs are used when users use the taggers to search for CDs they own.

Let's say there is a release in the database that you own but is not attached to a Disc ID.
