hm, wasn't there a way to add releases with an unknown tracklist? :p

How do I add a writer to a release group?

Or I have to somehow add it to every release in the group?

Another question is that if it's an audiobook released simultaneously on both CD and web then should the primary release group type be Other or Single?

or even Broadcast?

zarcade_droid: if you mean as a relationship, you should link the book/play as a work, and that's where the writer goes

SothoTalKer: there is, remove the default empty medium

SothoTalKer reosarevok: I mean, if you know that it’s a single CD medium, you can also have media attached to a release with no tracklist, no?

Nope :(

zarcade_droid: Whether it’s released on physical media or only digitally shouldn’t affect the release group type.

Ah, indeed.

Ah well.

I'd like the option, but :)

No caller. :|

no caller :(

Freso: reosarevok I did myself come across a situation inwhich I wanted to add a medium with no tracks (unknown tracklist because cd-rom) but couldn't

( ended up just adding one track with the duration I found looking at the cd-rom in an old cd-player :D)

but deff would like this ability to

CatQuest: Probably not ripe for inclusion in MusicBrainz yet, but once it is, this is where it all started: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1162733765... :p

reosarevok, Freso: too bad :x

Oh damn how many people are related to Big Finish, should I enter every editor, producer, sfx and etc.? There's about 3.5k of them in total

Not sure if I can even create the perfect relationship that would describe who made the audio for an audiobook?

Just that I understand perfectly how I have to create every component, let's take https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who...

I should first create a work because it's a distinct intellectual or artistic creation [...] for example [...] audiobook?

Then a release per each release format (because a release represents an unique release of a product)?

Then a release group that ties the releases together (because a release group represents different releases of the same entity)?

Then a series that contains all the release groups of all the episodes of the same series?

Then a subseries that ties together all the series of the same character?

s/subseries/big series/

zarcade_droid: something like that

(by now you've probably figured out why this has gone undone so long :D)

Hmm, I've read every page twice, can I even add a work to a release?

Or I have to settle on just adding artists to a release but not all the support staff and etc.?

zarcade_droid: You relate Works to Recordings (which are linked (via Tracks → Mediums) to Releases).

Or I have to create a recording under the release and then link the recording to a work?

Yes.

Okay, nice, thanks for your help, I think I can finish this now :D

Good luck. :)

One could say Big Finish is a big thing to finish.
