I'd like to add a lullaby CD set my wife and I got for our newborn son to MB, but the artists aren't listed anywhere for any of these tracks. I found the album on
Amazon.com and a couple of other places listed under "Various Artists"...
2006-09-11 25424, 2006
5:28 AM

Yeah, that's a pain

They're all classics, like rock-a-bye baby, etc.
2006-09-11 25407, 2006
5:30 AM
dholmes
Well, that article is kinda confusing
2006-09-11 25420, 2006
5:30 AM
dholmes
Are they performed by the original artists?
2006-09-11 25422, 2006
5:30 AM
cparker
...and there are 101 of these tracks, spanned over 3 cds.
2006-09-11 25429, 2006
5:30 AM

I doubt it.
2006-09-11 25441, 2006

If they are, you gotta hunt 'em down =D
2006-09-11 25453, 2006
5:30 AM
dholmes
If not, and you can't find it anywhere, use [unknown] for the artist

5:31 AM
dholmes
2006-09-11 25443, 2006

If you're really ambitious you can find the original artist and track and enter the appropriate ARs
2006-09-11 25453, 2006
5:31 AM
dholmes
But by 101 that might get a little old
2006-09-11 25425, 2006

Using web services to lookup a track by its MBID, how can I get the releases it's on and its track number?
2006-09-11 25419, 2006
7:19 AM
Tuxie
do I have to make a separate query for each release id?
2006-09-11 25458, 2006
7:25 AM
luks
which web service?

2006-09-11 25450, 2006
7:28 AM

then just use inc=releases

7:29 AM

2006-09-11 25419, 2006

that gives me release ids but not the track number on that release
2006-09-11 25429, 2006
7:29 AM
luks
<track-list offset="4"/>
2006-09-11 25437, 2006
7:29 AM
luks
offset is the track number
2006-09-11 25419, 2006
7:30 AM
Tuxie
2006-09-11 25426, 2006
7:30 AM
Tuxie
<track-list offset="0"/>
2006-09-11 25439, 2006
7:30 AM
luks
which means it's the first track
2006-09-11 25452, 2006
7:30 AM
Tuxie
so offset+1 is track number then?
2006-09-11 25457, 2006
7:30 AM

yes

another question, does MB have a way to group multi-cd releases other than adding "(disc 3)" etc to the title?
2006-09-11 25439, 2006
7:32 AM
luks
nope
2006-09-11 25404, 2006

(it should, btw)
2006-09-11 25411, 2006

But that's probably not very high priority
2006-09-11 25459, 2006
7:34 AM
Tuxie
it would be possible if I could search for asin but that doesn't seem possible, at least not with the web services
2006-09-11 25420, 2006
7:35 AM
Tuxie
at least for the more common cases
2006-09-11 25451, 2006
7:35 AM
luks
2006-09-11 25412, 2006
7:36 AM

the search server already supports it, but the web service doesn't use it
2006-09-11 25436, 2006
7:37 AM
Tuxie
it still wouldn't give me "CD = 2 of 3" and the like but it will be good enough :)
2006-09-11 25403, 2006
7:38 AM
dholmes
Assuming the album has an ASIN associated with it
2006-09-11 25404, 2006
7:38 AM
luks
i only means the ASINs

Of course, since the syntax of the (disc 1) style is pretty much unambiguous, I'm sure that information could be inferred from the album titles
2006-09-11 25456, 2006
7:38 AM
luks
it's not easy for MB to add disc number fields to the database, as there is too many albums with "(disc #)" in the title
2006-09-11 25411, 2006
7:40 AM
dholmes
...come to think of it, that wouldn't work at all, would it
2006-09-11 25422, 2006
7:40 AM
dholmes
Since release titles are not unique
2006-09-11 25412, 2006
7:43 AM
Tuxie
"release" should IMHO be called "disc" and "release" mean a real release (a compilation box, a japanese "with extras" release etc) but that's far too late to change I guess

2006-09-11 25418, 2006

(note that this is a different release of the album with the annotation, which was already a compilation)
