Code:

Grabbing entire CD - tracks:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Retrieved 1 match...
#1 (Musicbrainz): ---- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart / The Best of Mozart, Volume I ----
1: Symphony no. 29 in A-Major, KV 201: Allegro Moderato
2: Symphony no. 29 in A-Major, KV 201: Andante
3: Symphony no. 29 in A-Major, KV 201: Menuetto
4: Symphony no. 29 A-Major, KV 201: Allegro con spirito
5: The Marriage of Figaro: Overture
6: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: 1st Movement
7: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: 2nd Movement
8: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: 3rd Movement
9: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik: 4th Movement

Which entry would you like abcde to use (0 for none)? [0-1]: 1

That abcde offers #0 never made any sense. It's even irrelevant, it would seem, that there is only one possible track list, because in #0, abcde is offering a non-existent track list that would still not exist even if I had two possible track listings of substance.

Oh--ehh, is this for the purpose of manually naming all the tracks myself?

There's no definitive manufacturer populated database of track lists, it's all dependent on the accuracy of the user submitted data. For example if Alan just types in the track list and submits it and Brian does the same, maybe even with just different punctuation in titles you may get multiple track lists returned. You may also get people submitting track lists in their own language, like in your example there may be languages that use "symphonie" instead of "symphony"

Looks like you've caught up now!

Yes, 0 is “pick none of these; I’ll name the tracks myself”
