fingerprinting service. This replaces the old ``lastid`` plugin, which used
Last.fm fingerprinting and is now deprecated. Fingerprinting with this library
should be faster and more reliable.
* The importer can now perform **partial matches**. This means that, if you're
missing a few tracks from an album, beets can still tag the remaining tracks
as a single album. (Thanks to `Simon Chopin`_.)
* The new :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre` automatically assigns genres to imported
albums and items based on Last.fm tags and an internal whitelist. (Thanks to
`KraYmer`_.)

site to make sure it's cataloged there. If not, anyone can edit
MusicBrainz---so consider adding the data yourself.
* Beets won't show you possibilities from MusicBrainz with a mismatched number
of tracks. That is, if your album is missing tracks or has additional tracks
beyond what the MB database reflects, then you'll never see a match for that
album. (This is because beets wouldn't know how to apply metadata to your
files in this case.) `Issue #33`_ proposes adding a system that automatically
detects and reports this situation.
* Beets won't show you possibilities from MusicBrainz that have *fewer* tracks
than the current album. In other words, if you have extra tracks that aren't
included on the release, that candidate won't be displayed. (The tagger
should, on the other hand, show you candidates that have *more* tracks than
you do in the case that you're missing some of the album's songs. Beets will
warn you when any candidate is a partial match.)

If neither of these situations apply and you're still having trouble tagging
something, please `file a bug report`_.
