      I have a number of musicbrainz releases which have unnamed tracks of silence, usually 5 seconds but it can be longer.  Please create a special recording (or set of recordings) for these silent tracks so Musicbrainz can link them all together. 

       

      It would be really cool if the track could match to any length of silence, have the same name and id and then taggers could use the database to tag the tracks and a large number of musicbrainz tracks would boil down to one recording.  This is the apparent final goal for creating a style rule in musicbrainz that all completely silent tracks are to be named [silence].

       

      The current system, all silence tracks are reported as 'not found' while tagging against AB which is an annoyance when reporting on untagged tracks in a collection.

          Is that really the goal?  There are issues with trying to do that as noted in MBS-12079.
