riddle me this: why does discogs have 2 obviously duplicate versions of the same release, one with the catalogue nr set to the UPC? c.f. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/69754285 (yes, also vote whoring)
hey all. been going through documentation, online examples and whatnot. trying to understand the structure of the data of music brainz, and how to properly query it. ive had some success, but i'd like to ask this question. How would one find what album, a song appeared on.

for example, what album did, artist=guns and roses, trackTitle=welcome to the jungle, appear on.
2020-05-14 13511, 2020
sublim20
that should be queried from the 'release', database, correct?

sublim20: This query: https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=%22Welcome+t… will find you all the recordings of that title by artists with that name. Some of those recordings are on multiple releases, though…

I don’t believe you can search for releases by track title.
2020-05-14 13503, 2020
sublim20
crism, thanks for the response. theres gotta be a way
looks like the claim to be the US release was wrongly added by someone else

hi, in picard if I select multiple songs and drag&drop a new cover for them it doesn't work, it seems to only work for one song at time, is that a bug?

2020-05-14 13551, 2020

meanwhile it has two disc ids, which are being shared with other releases...

Seeking advice regarding a comment added to an older edit of mine: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/59090858 -- can someone educate me on musicbrainz def'n of "remix" ?
Excellent. I feel like this shows that yes, it's "technically" a mash-up, but there's no suitable way to show that other than the "Remix" release group type
2020-05-14 13512, 2020
CatQuest
well there are recording-recording mashup links
2020-05-14 13554, 2020
CatQuest
and do take what is written there with grains of salt. things have changed after it!
2020-05-14 13544, 2020
CatQuest
(we shouls maybe update this, but the discusion on the talk page and put it into non-history again (or something))
2020-05-14 13515, 2020

reosarevok what do you know about remix/mix/dj-mix relationships+ release-group types? :D
2020-05-14 13515, 2020
yvanzo
Not sure why reosarevok moved it to history then, but that was about 10 years ago.
2020-05-14 13508, 2020
CatQuest
very likly because 90% of what's written on it is outdated or discussion
2020-05-14 13525, 2020

(se refrenches to "track-track" relations)

So, my plan is to ignore this comment then. :) There is no evidence to me that shows it is clearly NOT a remix -- if the user wants it changed, they can do so as musicbrainz was designed.

I'm not sure I'd call this a remix album either, but I'm not sure what I'd call it :D
2020-05-14 13512, 2020
reosarevok
So maybe Remix is the least bad

after find a release group, or a releases id. how can one find/show track info for the item, (as in name of the position, etc)
hi, in picard if I select multiple songs and drag&drop a new cover for them it doesn't work, it seems to only work for one song at time, is that a bug?
cause that query returns the songs track position, and total number of tracks in the release section, but that's it.
2020-05-14 13545, 2020
sublim20
in essence, the goal of the query is this, given an artist name, and recording name, what album does this appear on, and what are the tracks on that album?
2020-05-14 13538, 2020
sublim20
it seems to do that, would require two queries, one to find the release ids, and then one to pull up that track info for that release
2020-05-14 13541, 2020
yvanzo
sublim20: AFAIK, it requires separate queries.
2020-05-14 13517, 2020
sublim20
yvanzo, got it. thanks for the help and conversation.
2020-05-14 13527, 2020
yvanzo
you're welcome :)
2020-05-14 13509, 2020
sublim20
heya, do you know of a link,or a website, that has a bunch of query examples? (besides the ones of the musicbrainz site)
haha. hmmm. *turns to judges* *judges murmur for a bit, but nod* we'll allow it
2020-05-14 13505, 2020
sublim20
there's surprisingly few articles on the web showing example query usage on musicbrainz. and the documentation, while thorough, can be over whelming for a someone new
one copy seems to have the track artists all listed correctly, but listed the album artist as "various", despite it clearly being bang on a can (and was missing a lot of data). the other had almost everything correct, but many of the track artists were listed as "bang on a can"...
2020-05-14 13553, 2020
echarlie
so both had errors, but not the same errors.
2020-05-14 13559, 2020
echarlie
definitely would appreciate review from reosarevok if you get a chance.
2020-05-14 13532, 2020
reosarevok
echarlie: the general idea seems good, but the track artists should be changed
2020-05-14 13501, 2020
reosarevok
That said, I think the track titles for the one you're merging into are better, so just changing the track artists there is probably the best option
Yes, but the track artists should be the composers anyway since this is classical :)
2020-05-14 13510, 2020
echarlie
well "classical". :) indeed, this was in WUVT's "NCP Jazz" shelf, annoyingly seperated from all the rest of the CRi
2020-05-14 13525, 2020
echarlie
but that makes a lot more sense; import causes quirks
2020-05-14 13526, 2020
echarlie
on a related note there, track 6, "a pond within the drifting dusk" is quite emphatically not capitalised on the liner notes. This should be reflected in the tracklist, but not the recording title?
2020-05-14 13546, 2020
echarlie
okay, I think I got that all right. still not sure how they're attributing these all to "bang on a can all-stars"; I know some of the albums were released as such, but not everything. I may correct that, too.
