If a person in an audiobook plays a specific character, is there a way to specify that somewhere when crediting artists?

Phew, seven hundred links validated, I can finally test out uploading all the people, releases, subcollections and collections now that I have all the MBIDs I need

So many artists just have one discogs relationship or one album credited, it's so hard to determine if they're the same person or not so to stay on the safe side if I was unsure I stored the name and won't touch the existing person in the db

Though, in order to test properly the release upload I'd need the test.musicbrainz.org db to be rather up-to-date, when does that get updated?

what's the policy with respect to itunes playlists ? I was adding what I thought was a compilation album when I noticed it's actually a playlist (just after assigning the appropiate recordings even)
2019-06-05 15658, 2019
antlarr
should I finish adding it? Maybe with primary type as "Other" ?
.. but maybe culinko has already added everything there :))

[02:57] <zarcade_droid> If a person in an audiobook plays a specific character, is there a way to specify that somewhere when crediting artists?
2019-06-05 15600, 2019
CatQuest
yes! when doing the relationships, you link the artist with "spoken voclas" and in the box next to it "credited as" you cna put the name of that character
2019-06-05 15617, 2019
CatQuest
(so This guy spoken vocals [Dr. Who] )

zarcade_droid: also in case not sure, it's better to create a new artist in mb. after all if the smae they cna be merged later

antlarr, Freso: do we know if this is like Spotify playlists (where new stuff will be added if the artist gets a new album or whatever)? I wouldn't add those at all, but if it is something else then maybe

Rotab: I dislike those bundles for promoting proprietary software where FLOSS alternatives are not only available but also close to being industry standard (e.g., OBS is probably the most common software for used for Twitch, incl. for the big names). :/
2019-06-05 15656, 2019
Freso
reosarevok: No clue; but if so, it doesn’t seem like it’d be different from Bandcamp releases that get periodic "updates".
2019-06-05 15636, 2019
reosarevok
Freso: except that it's not a release the artist put out, but a playlist by curator "Apple Music Pop"
2019-06-05 15655, 2019
Freso
Ah, didn’t notice that.
2019-06-05 15658, 2019
reosarevok
That sounds quite similar to me putting a playlist together and saying "look, it's on Spotify now, we should have it" :)
2019-06-05 15606, 2019
Freso
My example was one where the artist themselves made it.
2019-06-05 15654, 2019
reosarevok
Of course, if a label puts a compilation album together we'd add it, and that's basically a CD version of this, so it's tricky :p

reosarevok
Sigh, the digital world

Giving us weird crap like streaming playlists, Facebook nationalism, and me getting paid to sit at home

In that case, yes :p

on another issue: In https://musicbrainz.org/release/1d36741a-d71d-407…, would it be ok to join all B1* songs into one track named "Lost Lagoon Suite: Walking into the Forest / Prelude / ..." ? or would you prefer to add a new release?
2019-06-05 15649, 2019
reosarevok
Looking at the images, it should always have been one track
2019-06-05 15653, 2019
reosarevok
So yeah, edit
2019-06-05 15657, 2019

perfect

I'll keep the individual recordings just in case anyone is using them and add relationships between them
2019-06-05 15607, 2019
reosarevok
I wouldn't tbh. They shouldn't have been created in the first place
2019-06-05 15602, 2019
Freso
I’d say either merge them all into one—or keep them separate with relationships. Don’t leave them stranded or delete them.
2019-06-05 15621, 2019
reosarevok
If so, then merge. I'm not sure I like it though
2019-06-05 15637, 2019
reosarevok
Each one of those MBIDs shouldn't exist and these "recordings" are not equivalent to the combined one
2019-06-05 15600, 2019
Freso
But they’re all representative of a part of the combined one.
2019-06-05 15631, 2019
reosarevok
Sure I guess. Eh, I don't care that much either way
2019-06-05 15635, 2019
Freso
So whomever out there tries to look up information about one of these it makes more sense to say "hey, this MBID is no more, you want to look at this MBID instead now" rather than just say "nope, doesn’t exist, did it ever exist? - you may never know."
2019-06-05 15652, 2019
reosarevok
Sure, as long as they don't assume that it means it's 100% the same recording
