hia, i'm trying to add the missing albums for an artist called "Crashing Atlas" (link: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/447b34ab-d639-42... ), but i just wanted to check since i'm new to music brainz: if an artist releases a single track (outside of an album), is that both a release group AND a release, or just a release?
HamMilkshake is now known as prints

HewloThere: hewlo.. there
HewloThere
hi
darwin
HewloThere: there is no such thing as a release with no enclosing release group. there *is* a such thing as a "standalone recording" which is a recording without a release. however in most cases, if an artist is releasing a single track outside of an album, it's just a release/release group with type "single"
HewloThere
ok thank you darwin
1 more question
i've got a png for some cover art that is for some reason saying unrecognized file, but windows is opening it perfectly fine
but for some reason i can't get rid of the empty digital medium
darwin
HewloThere: hit the red "x" ?
HewloThere
i tried it like 5 times
darwin
weird, works fine for me
HewloThere
when i go through edit it says it will remove it
but it still appears in the overview
maybe i'll try this weird picard thing
reosarevok
HewloThere: Maybe your edit is open and pending?
Check Open edits
HewloThere
oh right
didn't know that was a thing my bad
reosarevok
No worries :)
HewloThere
do mods need to approve this or something?
reosarevok
Not mods :) Anyone with more than a few days and a few edits can vote - you can get 3 votes or it will just pass on its own after 7 days otherwise
Unless someone actively votes No
HewloThere
ah ok
thx

I am suddenly being prompted for authorization upon loading albums into Picard, has there been a change?
reosarevok
lorenzuru: I didn't see that message, what's the problem?
lorenzuru
Can I repost it?
reosarevok
Sure :) If it's huge put it on pastebin or something, but otherwise

Sorry guys but I need a little bit of consulting. I'm trying to insert this release (https://www.discogs.com/release/3422358) by Florian Fricke. It is already present in the DB here: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/7d31c330-..., but it is credited to Popol Vuh only and not also to Fricke (this is actually a complete solo album by him published as a Popol Vuh product for obvious reasons). I
was going to insert a new release (the original German one) but I'm struggling on how to tag track artists. Release artist should be "Popol Vuh / Florian Fricke" as on the CD cover, right? But what about track artists? Is this considered a classical release and therefore should I put Mozart as a track artist and Fricke as a recording artist? Should I put Popol Vuh as recording artist too?
My confusion is also due to if this is considered or not as a classical release, since Fricke is not strictly a classical artist
reosarevok
I would consider it classical since it's shown as very classicalish in the cover and whatnot
samovar
'Modern Classical'?
reosarevok
Looking at what we have, I'd be tempted to change the artist on that one to "Mozart; Popol Vuh, Florian Fricke" or even to "Mozart; Popol Vuh Florian Fricke" where "Popol Vuh Florian Fricke" only links to the "Florian Fricke" artist
Plus the original release and the late recording are title as Spielt Mozart, so the release group title should be changed too, right?

samovar: in general logging in is only needed if you do query personal data, e.g. you have enabled using your ratings or genres from MusicBrainz

Oh!
That's what it is, genres.
I wanted to figure out a way to overrwrite existing genre tags while still keeping the max @ 3.
Glassjoe has quit
Because Picard never seemed to be writing many genre tags.
Thanks, outsidecontext
outsidecontext
if you have checked "only use my genres" this would trigger the authentication. but it also means you only get any genres if you have tagged the releases with genres yourself on musicbrainz.org
<lorenzuru "As I mentioned in following reco"> Should the release corresponding to this reprint be credited to "Mozart; Florian Fricke" or to the one you picked?

I dunno. Credits are less important than relationships IMO, pick whatever seems best
