is it only me ? since the last blog stylesheet change, text is blurry and light grey colour on white background colour… very hard to read… (i switch off CSS to read it in Opera)

ok i’ve looked for it for the first time, and the culprit is the font called "Open Sans"… when I remove that one from CSS it’s more readable (no more blur effect)

hi
2014-10-09 28229, 2014
alastairp
what's the track artist of a karaoke recording?
2014-10-09 28240, 2014
alastairp
the original artist?
2014-10-09 28242, 2014
reosarevok
Whoever it's credited to
2014-10-09 28247, 2014
reosarevok
Like with any artist credits
2014-10-09 28216, 2014
alastairp
so the person on the front of the cd then?
2014-10-09 28225, 2014
reosarevok
I'd expect so
2014-10-09 28245, 2014
reosarevok
I'd expect the same artist as the normal recording, except for cases when someone else is explicitely credited
2014-10-09 28248, 2014
reosarevok
(for the karaoke)

even if the main artist doesn't appear at all on the karaoke track
2014-10-09 28202, 2014
alastairp
and the recordings are traditional works (i.e., there could be lots of karaoke versions with different orchestras playing them)
2014-10-09 28222, 2014
reosarevok
Artist credits are literally that
2014-10-09 28226, 2014
reosarevok
"who's credited"
2014-10-09 28241, 2014
reosarevok
Anything else, we have relationships for, which make for much more interesting data anyway
2014-10-09 28207, 2014
reosarevok
Of course, if the orchestra is who's credited, go with that :)
2014-10-09 28236, 2014
alastairp
ok. it looks like the track listing has nothing else listed
2014-10-09 28255, 2014
alastairp
there are 4 cds, 2 are the main album, and the other 2 are exactly the same with no vocals
2014-10-09 28210, 2014
alastairp
but the second 2 aren't listed in any different way
2014-10-09 28217, 2014
alastairp
thanks, we'll leave it as-is then
2014-10-09 28208, 2014
reosarevok
If you have the orchestra info, do add the rels if you have the time :)
2014-10-09 28247, 2014
alastairp
yeah, that's the plan
2014-10-09 28209, 2014
alastairp
so the second 2 CDs will have all the same musicians, but no vocalist rel that the first 2 do

thank god you are here hawke2 ! i don’t really want to no vote all those “Edit recording” edits where you transcript katakana recordings to latin… maybe you could cancel them… ?
2014-10-09 28233, 2014
jesus2099
you’re removing cue numbers and putting them to latin althgough they are known in katakana… latin is for pseudo release (and the search for recording with latin will work thanks to pseudo release’s tracks)
2014-10-09 28233, 2014

(i only have my small subscription but already see quite a number of them… i know each no vote will generate email and have done too many already…)

i haven't been active the past years, can anybody tell me if this is correct? http://musicbrainz.org/release/cefac0e6-1648-4ad2… <-- the artist for all tracks is "band 1 / band 2", even tho two songs are by band 1 only, and the other two are by band 2 only.
2014-10-09 28215, 2014
kepstin-laptop
Tecfan_: if two songs are by band1 and two by band2, that should probably be corrected, yes.
easy enough to fix, just change the track artists in the release editor (and don't forget to update the recordings too)
2014-10-09 28226, 2014
Tecfan_
yep, but vocalists are on both band's tracks
2014-10-09 28244, 2014
kepstin-laptop
so? vocalists can be credited with ARs :)
2014-10-09 28250, 2014

indeed, on it

hmmm. Is there a reason for Picard not to write track & recording IDs ?
2014-10-09 28256, 2014
warp
_5moufl: it normally does write them.
2014-10-09 28229, 2014
kepstin-laptop
yep, recording ids go into the musicbrainz_trackid tag, and trackids go in the musicbrainz_releasetrackid tag (varies depending on format, of course)

While we’re on the topic: Anyone else have an opinion on whether English recording titles should be in Latin script even if they’re in katakana on the tracklist?
2014-10-09 28212, 2014
hawke
(I’m inclined to say yes, while jesus2099 and xps2 both think not.)
2014-10-09 28252, 2014
hawke
I don’t feel *that* strongly about it though, I just wish I didn’t get two dozen emails about it :-/
2014-10-09 28235, 2014
kepstin-laptop
hawke: I'd say leave it in katakana, optionally with a psuedo-release with the latin titles.
2014-10-09 28216, 2014
hawke
kepstin-laptop: How come? (I agree that the original tracklist should stay katatana, but not the recordings)
2014-10-09 28227, 2014
kepstin-laptop
oh, recordings?
2014-10-09 28212, 2014
kepstin-laptop
hmm, katakana unless the album is e.g. a japanese re-release of something that originally used latin script imo
2014-10-09 28204, 2014
hawke
kepstin-laptop: Why, though? It seems very odd to have English titles in a non-latin script as the 'main' name.
2014-10-09 28254, 2014
kepstin-laptop
well, unless the artist does actually write them in latin characters most of the time, then that's not the main name.
2014-10-09 28207, 2014
CallerNo6
consider the reverse. the Scorpions recorded a Japanese song, 'kojo no tuki'.
2014-10-09 28225, 2014
CallerNo6
It would seem weird to change the script for the recording.
2014-10-09 28226, 2014
hawke
kepstin-laptop: the name is an English word.
2014-10-09 28251, 2014
CallerNo6
oops, "kojo no tsuki"
2014-10-09 28204, 2014
kepstin-laptop
so? lots of japanese tracks have names with words that are english or were originally english written in katakana.
2014-10-09 28235, 2014
hawke
CallerNo6: I would find it weird to *not* have the name of a song that old in Japanese script…
2014-10-09 28258, 2014
hawke
(even a specific arrangement of it)
2014-10-09 28222, 2014
CallerNo6
it is, indeed, a very ... um ... specific arrangement.
