237532 tracks are missing any Musicbrainz IDs, so it's quite high.

We need to figure out the formats for the data and start providing it.

But yeah, I would love to see student projects helping us with the
similarity. It's the one thing we really do not have.

No, I think TV shows would work too... what is the metadata on your
typical TV show? DVDs vs torrented TV shows, etc.

But there's no reason why you couldn't send us the following:

Artist: The Young Ones
Album: The Young Ones (series two)
Title: Nasty
Running time: 35 mins

etc etc.

But yeah, someone has to have bandwidth spare they'd like to donate.
