Tips:

When searching by title you will usually see lots of results for just one album, each result is for a different release. To find an exact regional match we recommend searching by barcode but you can also find exact matches with a title search. Here are some tips to help locate accurate, regional matches.

• Check the columns, they provide useful information about the result provided such as the format, release year and region.
• Use the preview on the right to check the cover image matches your album, if you’d prefer a different cover, right click on the result from the search queue and click ‘Find Cover Image’.
• If there are lots of results, use the ‘Formats’ filter to narrow down the search results to a specific format.
• Still can’t find an exact match? Try searching by barcode.
