Not anymore, but our forum can be used via email. The feature to import mediums manually from FreeDB was removed in January 2017 Is there a mailing list for MusicBrainz? Eventually it is envisioned by some that MusicBrainz could take over from FreeDB, although they may evolve to take different markets, or be competitors continually spurring each other on.

There is no concept of a single track being on more than one release - a track doesn't really exist in its own right.
