Hi. Any chance of getting the work attribute "STEF" added? Used in the Stellar Shadows ISWC, part of the EVE Online soundtrack

Or does this belong somewhere else, like the forums?

located at www.stef.is

Primarily used in Iceland

rdswift: not sure. I must admit I was also bothered this not being a table anymore, but it is so much easier to maintain. And my spreadsheet is a bit special with all the color coding, as it is primarily for a comparison with Jaikoz. I don't really want to maintain a third representation of this data :(

Maybe if we could automate it, e.g. creating the current list view in the docs from a spreadsheet or such

are split records "Compilations"? I'd say no because they consist of new material and are not a record "compiled" of existing material… but in musicbrainz most splits seems to be tagged that way

pbnoxious: no

If they're marked as such they should be corrected unless it is actually reissued material

reosarevok: is this consensus? Because I now found that even one of the examples (not for collaboration but for "artist credits") is a split release that uses "Collaboration"

It's the definition of compilation

https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Artist_Credits links to https://musicbrainz.org/release/1a35b63f-a10e-4... as an example

Let me see the history there

eh, not collaboration, I meant compilation

I'll leave a note asking the editor who set it :)

reosarevok: I can give you way more examples…

Oh

"Five of the EP's six tracks were previously released"

That's probably why

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyuss_%2F_Queens_...)

okay, another example where I know it wasn't that way: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/dcef1209-...

A beginner artist just set it to that earlier today

Will let them know that's incorrect

eh

Beginner user

reosarevok: okay, thanks for your reassurance and help :)

Maybe this user has been setting a lot of them that way

If I see more like that I'll edit them after checking

Oh, nah, only a few edits, thankfully

But several are doing this

(Can't find another one at the moment, but definitely have seen it before on records I looked up)

I'll revert them

maybe that could be clarified in the Documentation

as an explicite example for "what is not considered a compilation", there is already a list there

Yeah, I think I'll add splits to the "what's not usually a compilation" bit

Yeah :D

Was just looking at that

Thanks

thanks :)

Can someone help me with my edit?

I'm not sure what to do now and the other user doesn't seem to be responding anymore

d'oh.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen a cassette release where both sides are considered a single track?

But I don't do a lot of editing of cassettes with one giant long track across both sides, I guess...

darwin: theres a lot of those in the audio play series I tried adding the new release to, so I thought it'd be okay

f1refly: yeah, in niches in musicbrainz like this, precedent may or may not indicate correctness.

In any case, does musicbrainz permit some kind of "meta-release" that enables tagging a single file? Because regardless how this turns out, I still ripped the play from casette to a single file that I'd like to tag to a musicbrainz release

I would think generally no? Because it wouldn't be appropriate to tag a cassette album that way

even if you ripped it as a single file

King_DuckZ: have been looking into what is required to allow editing images for multiple selected files. Have a working patch, but needs some testing

This may not be the most appropriate place to ask, but has anyone here bought CDs on discogs before?

I don't think it's inappropriate at all, but I have't

haven't even

rdswift: if that would work that would be indeed great, yes

I don't think it will be that hard -- famous last words. :-) I'll add a ticket and assign myself.

:D

reosarevok and other classical editors: if you have free time, I'm looking for beta-testers for an importer userscript for the streaming site Idagio

they have decent metadata (performers, city, date)

and albums from the main labels (DG, Sony, etc.)

the script copies metadata to the new release annotation field

oh, and no need for an account if you just want to import releases

that's it, I'm switching to Vivaldi

Ugh, remaster recording disambiguation. Not enough time in the day to fix... https://musicbrainz.org/release/76b65689-bfaa-4...
