For example, if the same song was released as a studio recording and as a live performance, those two versions of the song are different recordings. The song itself is considered a \"work\", of which two recordings were made. However, recordings are not always associated with a work in the MusicBrainz database, and Picard won't load work IDs by default (you have to enable \"use track relationships\" in the options), so recording IDs are a much more reliable way to identify a particular song. https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Recording",

Note that MPD's support for this tag is relatively new (July 2023) and doesn't seem especially reliable, so it might be missing here even if your music has been tagged with it.
