I wonder why lastfm doesn't know that Dark Magus is originally from 1974

Because nobody put that info in the wiki, and/or it's never been supplied as part of a label upload.

BlueLobster
well, it was only released in 77 in japan and 97 stateside
2009-06-01 15204, 2009
BlueLobster
so that seems fair
2009-06-01 15256, 2009
BlueLobster
is there a separate field for the date something was recorded
2009-06-01 15259, 2009
BlueLobster
as opposed to first released

Is it me or isn't there a clear guide one what to add to MB in the wiki? Especially in terms of video releases (DVDs and VHS)
2009-06-01 15225, 2009
Muz_
Oh don't start this.
2009-06-01 15233, 2009

yeah...sorry
2009-06-01 15246, 2009

there isn't anything about that on the wiki because of the endless and needless bitching caused by it every time someone mentions it.
2009-06-01 15208, 2009
Prodoc
damn...
2009-06-01 15228, 2009

I keep running in to them lately and I can't find anything about a general consensus
2009-06-01 15240, 2009
Prodoc
even though we do have the ability to specify the medium type DVD
2009-06-01 15213, 2009

Well, I like to think that the most stupid of arguments has been quelled already. The "BUT IT'S CALLED MUSICBRAINZ. MUSIC ISN'T VIDEO DUHHHH I HAVE SHIT FOR BRAINS"
2009-06-01 15238, 2009
Muz_
But the thing is that the release type isn't specific enough to distinguish between DVD-A and DVD-Vs.
2009-06-01 15238, 2009
Prodoc
hehe
2009-06-01 15226, 2009
Prodoc
but are there dvds without visual content in the first place? just audio/music
2009-06-01 15248, 2009
Muz_
Yes.
2009-06-01 15210, 2009
Prodoc
...and how are they played? :-S
2009-06-01 15214, 2009

DVD player.
2009-06-01 15221, 2009

There's just no video track, it's only audio.
2009-06-01 15236, 2009

Should really be using a bluray player to play them these days, the quality is better.
2009-06-01 15238, 2009
MClemo
well, the video/audio combo contains music too
2009-06-01 15242, 2009

MClemo: what, the one about "but it's called Musicbrainz!!"!!111" one?
2009-06-01 15254, 2009
MClemo
yes
2009-06-01 15201, 2009

It's the most stupid argument I have ever heard. Next to "it looks stupid. to me. but that's my opinion. waaaah".

in general, too many useless discussions which seem to end in little or no results

That said, I can appreciate the current stance on videos with it boiling down to MB is simply not able to cater for them... yet. But what does need to bedone is someone to document what needs to be done first.
2009-06-01 15236, 2009
Muz_
so if you want to add that to the wiki and start a discussion with that solely in mind, go for it Prodoc. ;)
2009-06-01 15256, 2009
Prodoc
I'd hate to start such a thing...
2009-06-01 15236, 2009
Prodoc
though I would love to have a clear statement one what to do with such releases
2009-06-01 15241, 2009

intermediate solution: release type 'video'?
2009-06-01 15235, 2009
Prodoc
neah
2009-06-01 15243, 2009
Muz_
Nah, there needs to be a level above the release medium. such as "audio" and "video", and then each of those having their own release mediums.

Don't forget the endless arguments and impossible reasoning of IRC conversations too!
Need some input; Working with In My Mind... It is a 2CD best of release. First i think the use of Bonus CD is wrong in this case. The cover shows no spaces between the year and should i convert 'Best of' to 'Best of Bertine Zetlitz'?
I get the feeling that this scenario isn't really going to be addressed. Looks like I have to clone the release, change the title and group them under some more generic name
