I have a question about audiobooks.

I'd like to add some OverDrive borrowed audiobooks to the database.

They release their audiobooks with the logic of 1 mp3 file being large enough to fill an entire CD-R, so 70-80 minutes.

But they appear to be otherwise identical to existing releases.

So, let's say that I want to add their release of The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy (read by Stephen Fry), which corresponds to this version: https://musicbrainz.org/release/2826145b-0f42-4...

So, since OverDrive's first MP3 file contains the contentents of Chapters 1 to 4, how should I name that file?

Also, should I add OverDrive, Inc. as a release label?

hi ajshell1 . IMO you'd handle the titles like any other track that has multiple titles, i.e. "Title One / Title Two / Etc. "

(see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles#Multip... )

Halp!

MBS-3857: "link" anchor is too close to the magnifying glass icon on lookups for touch-screen use

Can anyone guess what this is talking about? :) Did we use to have some link anchor I no longer remember, or is it somewhere and I'm just forgetting?

yvanzo: I see you changed this recently, maybe you know

(intentionally in #musicbrainz because this is more about "what in MB is this talking about")

reosarevok: I would probably just mark it as Blocked since it depends on/is resolved by MBS-3846.

MBS-3846: Mobile version of the website https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-3846

yvanzo: but what is it about :D I'm not sure if it's blocked or just fixed because I don't understand the ticket :/

I can't tell, it is about touch-screen.

reosarevok: I can vaguely remember having a "link" link next to the autocomplete after something was selected, but not sure when/why it was removed. probably when the bubbles were added?

bitmap: so you think it's no longer valid?

depends on if it's still hard to press the magnifying glass on an iphone I guess

reosarevok: it is not necessarily invalid but low priority at least: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/Support...

I guess. I tried in android and it seemed fine, but

yvanzo: well, if there's no link anchor anymore, it should at the very least be reworded :)

I can press it if I zoom in enough, does seem janky though

can't close the menu if I click outside of it, unless I focus another input

note that touchscreen and mobile version are completely different things

e.g. it's common to have a touchscreen on a laptop or tablet where you'd want to use the full desktop site

the other thing you lose with touchscreens is the ability to "hover" over anything, so you have to make sure you don't use e.g. menus that pop open on hover unless you can also click to open them

Which I think we already fixed

The menus, that is - we still have a bunch of stuff on hover, but nothing site breaking

kepstin: I need your expertise

https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9960 <- isn't that kinda the definition of [no label]? Is it seen differently in JP?

MBS-9960: Add note about projects & dōjin circles to "Releases where artist name and label name are the same" report

reosarevok: I've always used [no label], but the thing about a doujin circle is that it typically refers to a group (of 1 or more people) who are working together to self-publish stuff

so they're sort of like an artist, sort of like a label, but not really either

this is part of why the situation with artist credits is a mess too, because e.g. tracks on a release aren't really by the circle, but rather by people who are members of the circle (or guests, too)
