To the devs: I was looking at the album.attributes integer array and it seems *almost* every album has '0' which supposedly means "Non-Album Track" which doesn't make any sense to me because most music also has a 1 in the array which means it's an album. Does anyone understand this?

Muzzz
Doesn't that array hold three values whereby the second value is release type?
as long as the artist is normal quality it'll go through anyway

maybe I'm too mainstream but a lot of edits I do pass before the expiration date

but in general the voting queue is huuuge, so I see the problem ;)

Yes, but in some strange way one would like to get opinions after googling for artists, thinking how to present stuff so everyone can understand the edit etc. and then you add a release and noone seems to care.

On the other hand, sometime I have been concise and then I have got "reprimands" to be more verbal

most of the time people only make notes if something's wrong. If you don't get notes, that's a good sign ;)

Generally, what is the status of MB right now?

Is it still a vital project?
2008-09-11 25555, 2008
MClemo
sure. don't you think so?

One thing that I find strnage is that I think labels themselves should add their releases.
2008-09-11 25518, 2008

I don't question it, I just don't have the knowledge.

please no, labels would bungle things completely

That would be great, if you got the labels actually doing that, and playing by the rules.

When I started, there were some talk about BBC I remember.

why do you think they wouldn't

I wouldn't be too optimistic about either.

BBC is still active

Is it still a collaboation?

Ahhh that's good

jap, that's nice. and they use mb data on their site. I think there was a blog entry about some new stuff they incorporated recently
the BBC drank the MusicBrainz kool-aid in a big way. :-)

Maybe I sound pessimistic, so I just want to add that I like MB a lot and try to do my best to support it, and I think it is so nice to tag with picard and then know I will get updates afterwards. Today, if the album is in MB is one factor in my decision to buy, or not. :) (Because I know I will have to go through the hazzle of adding it otherwise...)
