I'm pretty sure that once upon a time I saw a musicbrainz plugin something thing for EAC, but I can't seem to find it now, in EAC. Was I dreaming?

Freso: I have no idea. I've never used EAC (though have been planning to for quite some time)

Why do we standardise to "feat." again?
2017-02-05 03632, 2017
reosarevok "fixes" a release, feels kinda silly

Yup, the guidelines say ft. or featuring should be turned into feat.

It made sense when we had them on track titles, because then we could detect them easily, but not sure about now
2017-02-05 03632, 2017

It's something that a lot of people want to specialcase, and there are a lot of variations on it.
2017-02-05 03635, 2017
reosarevok
The only use I can see left is for Picard and the like removing them from artist fields for people who don't want them, but surely adding a few extra cases to the regex that does that would be more reasonable (and I guess it already struggles with translated version)

/f(ea)?t(\.|uring)?/ will likely get most, but I probably forgot some of the variations. I always forget some.
2017-02-05 03613, 2017
Freso
(Also, that one would match on "fturing" 😏)
2017-02-05 03620, 2017
reosarevok
Well, sure, but how is missing some rare variations any worse than missing "avec" or "con" or "with"
2017-02-05 03639, 2017
reosarevok
(for people who don't want "additional" artists on the AC)
2017-02-05 03648, 2017
Freso
Because some people see those more like "&" and want to treat them different from "feat"?
2017-02-05 03617, 2017
Freso
Of course, some people want to lump them together with feat.
2017-02-05 03622, 2017
reosarevok
Well, "con" is used in Spanish releases in the same way "feat." is in English ones, at least (we don't have an equivalent - some rappers use feat, but)
2017-02-05 03654, 2017
reosarevok
It just feels like it's something that shouldn't be dealt with at our level but at tagger level
2017-02-05 03611, 2017
reosarevok
Let people pick what to apply it to
2017-02-05 03611, 2017
Freso
Sure. Last time we discussed it, I was more opposed to it.
2017-02-05 03616, 2017
Freso
Now... not so much.
2017-02-05 03631, 2017
Freso
"We" as "the community".

2 years ago maybe?

"feat." on rap albums is like "special guest star" on old TV shows
2017-02-05 03650, 2017
reosarevok
kjetilho: sure, it's more about whether it makes sense for us to keep converting "ft." and "featuring" and "ft" into "feat." :)
