Well.. I have a box sets that have titled "box set title" - "artist name" and "box set title" - "artist name 2" should I move that 2 to box set title when adding release?

if I understand you correctly the different discs have different artist subtitles?

I wouldn't say subtitle, there's litterally number 2 added to artist name on other set, like indicated that this is second compilation for this artist.

Covers: http://www.cd100.ee/cdid/596bbe_toomas%20anni_3... and http://www.cd100.ee/cdid/647746_toomas%20anni_2...

kampsun: I'm not sure it's worth bothering including

unless they're two people with the same name, the images certainly could fool me :p

or wait, sorry I misunderstood, this is two different boxsets yes?

Yep.

Two differnet box sets from same person.

in that case you should probably include it as a boxset subtitle, "Boxset name: Toomas Anni 2"

Seems fine yeah. Especially because there are other box sets with same name, but different artists. Thanks. :)

np

What to do in case brought up in Release_Arist_Style point 1.4.2

Create it as various artists?

kampsun: aren't all the tracks on the album by toomas anni?

That question was about another release. :)

oh sorry, didn't read your q properly

that would be various artists yes

How to add recording information like mono/stero ADD/DDD?

I don't think there's a place for it yet. you could add it as an annotation

For anyone using a Mac.

phew.. almost 2 hours to enter a release.

:>

tough one

hi

hello

warp: I just noticed we have the same birthday :o

what are the chances!

I wish there was a way to find the edit that removed a release; release 6de5543b-445c-4bcd-bf60-888b5c7b86e3 took forever to enter, simply because of the huge length of the titles, and the large number of tracks. Yet though it had plenty to document it's existence in the add edit ( http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=10793717 and related), it's simply gone now that I tried to re-tag against it. :(

wouldn't you be able to hack up a query if you have db access?

possibly, though my dump is prob too old to contain it.

It'd be nice, though, if the "This release has been removed" and "This release group has been removed" texts also contained a link to the removing edit.

true

not to mention if you were able to subscribe to v/a releases so we could avoid this in the first place :p

just my opinion, but I think 0:0 destructive edits of any type should fail, not pass.

brianfreud_: indeed, you should bring it up on mb-style

I agree

the amount of destructive edits is low enough to warrant it

Even were the # higher (or maybe esp if it were higher?), I think it'd be a smart change.

It doesn't make sense to allow anyone to (potentially) remove anything

sorry

musicbrainz picard is used only with musicbrainz.org server?

is used = work

sorry bad english

I think you can set it to use some other musicbrainz server

MClemo: if you're a masochist ;)

lol

Or a developer.

but freedb is moshist just? :D

*is a masochist

Well, same thing given it's Python and the current site code. (BRing on the TemplateToolkit relase!!"121131)

freedb is just bad

i know but i want just to try some tracks i don't found on musicbrainz server

i want know if i can use those server ...

just ...

i love musicbrainz server

you can't use anything other than musicbrainz

but if there's something you can't find you can always add the release yourself

ok

GiovanniMerolla: on musicbrainz when you add a release you can import it from freedb

ok

i don't knwo

i have a lot techno music not recognised ^_^

GiovanniMerolla: all the more reason to add it so others can tag it :)

be careful with importing from freedb though, their data is notoriously bad

yes ... when it is possibile i do it :D

brianfreud_: how come you want to do SPA merges in two batches?

because some the AC isn't needed, the others, it'd retain the AC

AC?

artist credit

ie, to keep, say, the perhaps useful "Disney" in there somewhere, even if it's now actually in [unknown]. But no real need for that with "Orchestra" or "Ethnic Music Compilations".

oh ok, but is the merge even visible on a release level?

I think I'm confusing something in regards to NGS, so never mind :p

lmao..here i was all set to nominate someone else when i got home, and someone beat me to it with another nomination (for someone different mind)
