Hello Support Team,

sorry I was disconnected. So not sure my query is already answered. If not here it is again.

as per above, local server setup can be done only on ubuntu or it can be setup on other os like centos too?

apiuser: the benefit of docker is that it can be run on any distro you like

DjSlash, that's true. however I'm not sure whether db and index .sh scripts have any disto specific dependency.

those are run within the docker-image, afaik, so no?

hmmmm. ok. I will give it try. Thanks for the help DjSlash

Hi apiuser: What was your question? MusicBrainz Docker can be installed on “Linux or macOS”.

Hi, how can I make an API search query that would search by country and genre?

I think the genre is in the tags? I can't find it in the search fields index tab

goldfishlover, you can go to https://musicbrainz.org/search and enter

country:ca AND tag:rap in indexed search

countries are 2 letters

and after tag:

enter the genre tag

more info on search ^^

forgot you need to choose type: release for your search

Thanks Lotheric. I can't figure out what's wrong with this query: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query=tag...

https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query=tag...; AND country:"de"&limit=100&fmt=json - I thought I got it right now but the response includes non-German albums as well... :(

Is there a way to ensure the album will be actually from a given country (or in a given language) and not just released there alongside 196 other countries?

hmm

They have voted no for the reason they commented, however these aren't actually as an imprint etc, they're used as a release label in both cases as best I can tell

The 'type' wasn't set for either of these nor are there any relationships set

fish!

How much is it?

Hello all. https://musicbrainz.org/release/b9227655-7067-4... has track 4 listed as movement V on the CD packaging, but there's no way it's not movement IV of that work. Should it be corrected on musicbrainz, or be left as it is on the CD packaging?

Hi aereaux: why "there's no way"? if it happens to be wrongly listed indeed, the recording should be corrected, probably not the tracklist.

Unless I'm mistaken, that work has only 4 movements, and the tracklist lists the first three and then the last (it gets the movement title right) but marked as V.

Oh, I see, it’s probably just a one-character typo: "V" instead of "IV", the rest of the track title seems to be correct.

aereaux: it makes sense to fix it, see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Principle/Err...

Cool, thanks.

Does anyone know if merging a recording into another also copy any user ratings to that new recording?

ok, so reosarevok gave me the idea (in #metabrainz) to release a 600+ hour track. I really like the idea and I'm starting to think about how I want to do it. one idea I just had is to make a release with 1 track, but call the release an EP. (get it, *extended* play?) how much of a perversion of artist intent is that to call a 1 track release an EP?

Not more than that of calling whatever you end up concocting music

reosarevok: he wouldn't be the first. honestly, 600hrs sounds pretty short to me.
