The steps to follow to :index:`manually lookup an album <lookup in browser>` on MusicBrainz are:
1. Add your files using :menuselection:`"Files --> Add Files..."` or :menuselection:`"Files --> Add Folder..."`.
For ease of use it is recommended to use the internal File Browser to manage file system interactions. This is
enabled from :menuselection:`"View --> File Browser"`.

2. Drag the selected directory or files to the "Unclustered Files" folder, and wait for Picard to process the files -
the names will turn from grey to black.
