      • 2009-06-01 15259, 2009

      • creature
        Because nobody put that info in the wiki, and/or it's never been supplied as part of a label upload.
      • 2009-06-01 15200, 2009

      • 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

        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

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

      • Muz_
        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

        damn...
      • 2009-06-01 15228, 2009

      • Prodoc
        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

      • Muz_
        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

      • Muz_
        DVD player.
      • 2009-06-01 15221, 2009

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

      • FauxFaux
        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
        stupid argument really ;)
      • 2009-06-01 15251, 2009

      • Prodoc
        hehe
      • 2009-06-01 15245, 2009

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

      • MClemo
        yes
      • 2009-06-01 15201, 2009

      • Muz_
        It's the most stupid argument I have ever heard. Next to "it looks stupid. to me. but that's my opinion. waaaah".
      • 2009-06-01 15206, 2009

      • MClemo
        lol

        in general, too many useless discussions which seem to end in little or no results
      • 2009-06-01 15248, 2009

      • Muz_
        Ding.
      • 2009-06-01 15218, 2009

      • Muz_
        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

        on
      • 2009-06-01 15225, 2009

      • Prodoc
        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.

      • alastairp
        :->%3A looks like HTML Entities
      • 2009-06-01 15221, 2009

      • Muz_
        URLencoding.

      • alastairp
        yeah, that
      • 2009-06-01 15233, 2009

        that's what charset?

      • 2009-06-01 15248, 2009

        probably 7-bit

        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'?

        should promotional album samplers be merged into the same release group as the album?
      • 2009-06-01 15222, 2009

      • MightyJay
        I guess it falls under "Promotional and bootleg versions of albums, singles etc should be in the same release group as the regular official release."

        So, regarding this release, http://musicbrainz.org/release/c07cf48b-c08b-4288… , can I use an RG to add the UK version of this that was released as issue 77 ?

        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
