Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

sound-juicer fails to find this CD :
   http://www.musicbrainz.org/release/c18028a8-178c-4c36-a46c-6483a4acab73
All the track lengths match except on my CD track 4 is 1 second shorter than 
MusicBrainz and track 10 is 1 second longer.

I could suggest a couple of alternative enhancements to solve this :
  either a: allow the user to input a MusicBrainz URL
  or b: add some tolerances to the search (e.g. rank the results by the total 
seconds discrepancy). 

The advantages of each :
a: Completely general - allows the user to search on MusicBrainz by Genre / 
Artist / Label etc.
   (even if b included fuzzy logic or AI, it would not be as effective as the 
user's own search ability).
   Much easier to implement than b.
   Can handle bonus tracks etc (user can add supplementary info).
b: less effort for the user.
