Picard Feature Request: lookup album manually without CD

I frequently add DVD-A discs to MBz, and I usually have to put a dummy
CD in the drive so I can click "Lookup Manually" in Picard.  Is there
a way to select an album in this situation without inserting a dummy
CD?

You should be able to type the artist/title you're after in the bottom
right-hand boxes ("New Metadata") and click the 'Lookup' button. This'll
open up musicbrainz.org and you can then click the green 'tagger' links
next to a release to bring the data back into Picard.

Hope that helps,
Nick

Or Cluster / (Magic Wand) Lookup... Or text search from the top bar....
putting a disc in the drive is quite a bizarre workaround...
