DaVu: Also, Kodi is getting better at handling music metadata for each version, and I thought the most recent release already was able to deal with multiple artists.

And zag is not here right now to confirm. :/

Freso: it is

It was 50% PEBKAC

Need to find a switch to only show what I want Kodi to show and therefore editing tags isn't necessary

Does MB has a "trap" to detect companies using our data without a license ? kinda like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agloe,_New_York

just curious :)

well there's "musicbrainz test artist"

if that's in their database, it's likly they're using your data :]

Agloe isn't in our areas (phew!)

Lotheric: Maybe someone held a concert at Agloe General Store at one point.

the musicbrainz test artist held a concert there ? :)

Maybe.

phew, i need to stop slacking and do more musicbrainz edits.

You and everyone else in the world.

for enhanced CDs, we totally ignore the data track, right?

No.

If there's music on it, we add those as tracks as well.

(Incl. videos.)

https://musicbrainz.org/release/8686d6ce-be90-4... - this actually an enhanced CD and track 6 is a video. if you look at the history it was first added with 6 tracks, but the last got removed some time ago

i could not find much in the documentation on how/when to add information for data tracks of enhanced CDs

ok, it's in the style guide, but the term "Enhanced CD" is missing.

SothoTalKer: It's not necessarily the same release now. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/2886138 is from 2005, pre-NGS.

We didn't have quite the same concept of releases then as we do now.

what has changed?

SothoTalKer: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/NGS

interesting

Freso: i cancelled my open edit for the above release, no need to have it probably fail later :))

SothoTalKer: Sorry. I looked at the edits to see whether you had already entered something before making the edit, but apparently you did it between my looking and my entering. :/

SothoTalKer: I wanted to do it so I could point you at it to show you how to do it in the future. :|

Guess that wasn't needed...

it's all good. :D

i did search for other releases with "enhanced cd" format and looked at some of those for an example

time to make it green in my notes :x

?

Freso: i got a list of some releases where some information is missing/wrong. and those I update.

Ah.

red is for releases where i haven't found enough information, usually because discogs does not have it and web resources are scarce.

SothoTalKer: Note that it's possible to denote the quality of the data.

yeah

So if you add a release with little to no data, you can set "data quality" to "low".

Completely unrelated but: http://tv.eenet.ee/hirv.html live deer camera in the Estonian forest! :) lots of them around now

SothoTalKer: https://musicbrainz.org/release/d2c93a06-2f63-4...

you like to add those special cases, don't you? ^-^

bleh, editing advice from the masters? https://www.beatport.com/release/the-beauty-and...

what should the artist for the release be here? "Denis Hasert / Dirk Sid Eno feat. Aquarius Heaven" makes it look like Denis Hasert isn't also featuring Aquarius Heaven, which it is.

but "Denis Hasert feat. Aquarius Heaven / Dirk Sid Eno feat. Aquarius Heaven" looks insane.

I'd use the second option

It doesn't look insane to me, it looks true :p

heh, ok.

colbydray: ^^^ beatport's way of crediting ends up misleading here

SothoTalKer: I like that MB is the only of the music databases that have these, yes.

sounds good :)

I think the CD contained in http://www.ebay.com/itm/Folk-Dances-of-Hawaii-B... is a re-release of that release...

But I don't really have anything to substantiate that. :(

CallerNo6: ^ do you want a present?

and http://musicbrainz.org/release/e2f01b57-c1d0-41...

hmm. one improvement would be extra edit fields for each edit

*edit note fields

if i make many changes, they are split into different edits, sometimes the edit notes refer to only a part of the changes.

darwin, ^^taken care of

awesome, thanks!

there is not much of a voting culture in musicbrainz, right? :x

it's a difficult thing to have, in general

:|

d'oh

I prefer editing to voting

fixing stuff that I care about

it must be the case for many editors

I focus mostly on adding new entities, new releases, and new relationships to external databases

Don´t do much voting myself, if I come across something whilst editing something else I will vote. And if there is plenty of proof provided, and I can, I will approve edits.

I remember waiting 6 days for stuff to take......

Some editors do a lot of voting though, so that´s a good thing.
