Hi recordguy, this is in 'release_group_primary_type' which joins 'release_group' on 'type' (with 'id').

yvanzo, thanks, figured it out earlier :)

Oops, wrong channel, just noticed you got the answer in #metabrainz

hey! i purchased an album from bandcamp, so i assume the tags are correct since they come from the artist who is, well, kind of an authority concerning his own work. the music is not catalogued on mb. what would be the recommended way to submit it? i use picard at the moment with all new music but i can't seem to submit acustids for example (i've got an api key)

ah, the acustid problem was solved. i have to first create the release, then make sure picard knows the files i'm tagging represent the release just created, then scan so picard has acustids and only afterwards i can submit them... is this correct?

hey hey heyarne[m], yes.

VxJasonxV: wanna try that ^

hey quick question - is it ok to uploaded scanned pictures for cover art that isn't in the database?

if yes, what is the expected dpi to use for the scan?

sorry - *read the manual*

"if you're planning to scan your releases, we recommend doing it at 300dpi."

*bashes face https://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Add_Cover_Art

pengwens: what do you mean that it's not in the database? :)

If you mean the releases haven't been added yet, well you can add them first

reosarevok: the release is in the database. the cover art is not attached to the release: https://musicbrainz.org/release/bf6fb57e-cbd9-4...

Then definitely, that's the main point of the cover art option :)

:) i am happy to be able to contribute something!

reosarevok: Is there anywhere I should add the DIST005 line to this release? https://musicbrainz.org/recording/c49165c6-e295...

heyarne[m]: there are also import scripts for bandcamp that d oalot of the work for you

Has anyone ever used the MusicBrainz API to graph out something like what groups have musicians in common with other groups?

something like this: https://i1.wp.com/badhessian.org/wp-content/upl... although I think this was made with wikipedia data

I recently stumbled across a few different bands that have actually had many of the same members over the years, and I thought it would be fun to make something to graph that all out, but I wanted to check if someone beat me to it?

RavenWorks: I didn’t hear of something similar yet.

hm, alright!

dood \m/ Testament! \m/

also, that would be hella swat project

swat*

men for faen da

sweat*

I am somewhat disappointed that https://i1.wp.com/badhessian.org/wp-content/upl... doesn't overlap (given that atleast "Halford" is in both orbnets)

wait Rob Halford has been in Black Sabbath? dude!

also loving the curve in-on-itself on alice cooper there. hahaha
