Hi everyone, does someone knows if the country of a digital media release (amazon, spotify, itunes, ..) is [worldwide] or not
2015-03-01 06035, 2015
latsni
Or should there be several release events: amazon.com -> USA, amazon.fr -> France, but how to handle iTunes and Bandcamp?
2015-03-01 06048, 2015

When is a release event Worldwide?

And also i want to ask if it is possible / allowed to add a Spotify links (stream for free) to a CD (hard copy) release? I had a discussion a while ago and i am not sure what to do ..
2015-03-01 06001, 2015

I usually put [worldwide] for digital media releases that can be purchased for download from anywhere in the world

there are some digital releases which are actually not possible to get from anywhere in the world -- a lot of japanese websites block foreign IP addresses, for example, lol

latsni: for iTunes I usually put the country of that iTunes store (it's in the URL), because I know that one exists and I don't want to spend time checking if its available in other country stores.
2015-03-01 06052, 2015
kuno
latsni: no, I don't think spotify links should be added to a CD -- they're different releases IMO.
2015-03-01 06032, 2015
latsni
kuno: okay thx, but it is okay to add them to digital releases or are they different, too?
2015-03-01 06040, 2015
hibiscuskazeneko
I'd probably add them to digital releases (as long as the tracklist and content are the same)
2015-03-01 06039, 2015
kuno
latsni: that should be OK -- I personally don't think digital releases should be treated like that, but the consensus in MB seems to be that if a digital release has the same tracklist, it's the same release
2015-03-01 06011, 2015
kuno
(even if they might sound slightly different because amazon, itunes and spotify all use their own lossy MP3/M4A encoding)
2015-03-01 06020, 2015

latsni: Bandcamp releases should be [worldwide], btw. IIRC, they don't employ any per-country restrictions.

Mineo
but maybe countries do?:)
2015-03-01 06035, 2015
Freso
Sure, but if something is released everywhere but North Korea, I would probably still go for [worldwide].

flamingspinach: what is the definition of script then? because the booklet is definitely printed in latin. here is photo of it http://imgur.com/CPGwKz1
2015-03-01 06002, 2015
hibiscuskazenek1
The "script" of a release is the writing system predominantly used on the release
hibiscuskazenek1: yes, but whether the katakana tracklisting is a pseudo-release or not depends on whether that japanese edition has a katakana tracklist on the backcover or a latin tracklisting on the backcover.
2015-03-01 06033, 2015
hibiscuskazenek1
I have almost never seen transliterations on the back covers of foreign artists' releases
2015-03-01 06037, 2015
kuno
I've seen it a few times, I don't add that much japanese stuff so I'll take your word for it if you say it's super-rare. it does happen though :)
2015-03-01 06012, 2015
hibiscuskazenek1
I've only seen it with Japanese domestic artists who have worked overseas (e.g. Minako Honda)

hopphopp: thanks! having a backcover image is always appreciated, because those are often difficult to find when discussing these things.
hibiscuskazenek1: why should we keep the transliterated release?
2015-03-01 06007, 2015
hibiscuskazenek1
Just to help out people who can't read English, I guess
2015-03-01 06021, 2015

We don't normally remove legitimate transliterations

I can read katakana and I assure you it's an accurate transliteration

have no idea how to *undo* somethingI *didn't* do, so isent it to votig so I could cancel that one and just approve the ones I actually *did*

can someone else maybe try editing this release see what happens?
2015-03-01 06045, 2015

just collapse the two first discs and edit the third

Seems most likely that you accidentally clicked on some up/down arrow.
hibiscuskazeneko: note that he *did* change it - whether you get a single "edit" relationship or an "add" and a "remove" depends on exactly how you replace the old values with the new ones
2015-03-01 06001, 2015
nikki
(and the distinction isn't very intuitive, it only works that way because the interface and edit system is too closely tied to the data model, not because one method is fundamentally better than the other)
I think we can be a little nicer to this kris kaiser guy, he doesn't seem to be trying to break shit, but to fix shit.

even I don't see what the real isse is here. h's tryingto link all "compose" things to one entry, while some are split to moby and others are on Hall, and he's tryingotput every link on one of them?

what if hypothetically can't find original and not carried by other channels... will mb database detect 404 and someone change things

hmm.. well someoen might eventually remove the link
2015-03-01 06045, 2015

or I will make a NEW video and put that url there will fix somehow got carried away organizing my youtube channel last night
