Hi everyone! I have been really interested in working for the android app of musicbrainz

One quick question is that could we stream music to the app as well?

in general musicbrainz does not contain any music

Yeah I get that. It basically provides us with listing and description right

What if we could do something like the ITunes API?

I expect in most cases people would happily use Spotify or whatever to stream

I know I do

I agree. But I have been trying to integrate music streaming into an app that I've been working on and wasn't able to find anyone who could provide me with a database for it.

I did try using the Spotify API but that requires us to be authenticated through spotify and just overlays their player onto your app

So wasn't a success for me. Same goes for the Apple Music Kit.

But the iTunes API works great but the problem is that they only provide us with previews.

I basically thought that working on a database as a service could be a good market

hi all

hi edgarvincent

I've just submitted my first release to Musicbrainz (https://musicbrainz.org/release/87e75cef-773b-4...) and I'm still a bit confused about a few things. I changed the artist on tracks 4, 5 and 6, but the "tracklist" page doesn't seem to reflect the change. Do I have to wait for it to be displayed?

hi :)

yes, if you're changing an existing release and it's over a certain amount of time after you added it, you have to wait for it to be applied (or approved)

whoa.

I guess matrix.org is doing something.

darwin: Thanks! That's probably a good thing anyway in my case since, although I think I've improved the release data, I'm not sure I'm doing things properly :)

unless you're deleting stuff, which you should almost never do, there's not a huge amount of risk if you *do* do something wrong, though you are good to be concerned to do things properly :)

edgarvincent: You can check “Editing history” when unsure about edits status: https://musicbrainz.org/release/87e75cef-773b-4...

If there is any of your edits you think is a duplicate or a mistake, you can cancel it before it gets voted down or failed by the system: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Cancel_an_Edit

also, if there's a yellow highlight on an entity, that indicates pending edits

yvanzo darwin: Thank you both.

I did have a few duplicate edits, which I've cancelled.

Thanks for having added the cover art, it's very useful for checking/completing infos :)

I did vote your edits, if two other voters do the same, your edits could be applied soon, see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Introduction_to_Voting

Thanks yvanzo.

You’re welcome!

Three of the tracks were originally composed for a different instrument and arranged for another on this specific release (masterful arrangement, BTW, do listen to it if you like Mozart:). Should I add this piece of information in "Additional information"?

You can create a specific work for this arrangement and link to the original work through an “arrangement” relationship, see https://musicbrainz.org/relationships/work-work

Ah, brilliant, thanks.

edgarvincent: there might already be some work for mozart arrangements. (if it's a oft used arrangement) but yes as yvanzo said you can create arrangement works, it's easiest to do that in the "relationship editor"

reosarevok is the guy uou want for classical too

CatQuest: It's actually a new arrangement. I've asked a music scholar friend of mine and to his knowledge it has never been played like that before.

ooohhhh

interestig!

ing*

we deff would want that arrangement in mb then :D

Well, it depends on whether it's a one-off or a published arranged score :)

yes

I think it's a one-off.

oh no.

no published arrangement?

I'll look it up.

reosarevok: do we have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheitholt or a ticket for it?

Not that I can tell

would you make a ticket for it? (a sub tiket of "heavy zither action" if you please :D)

Added a very basic one at https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-1016 - but too busy to come up with descriptions and stuff :)

INST-1016: Scheitholt

At least it will keep it in mind for later

yes, thank you!

edgarvincent: I made a small change to the release where I moved Mozart from title to artist field

also mozart: https://web.archive.org/web/20141024190842/http...

edgarvincent: also, sorry, seems I overrode some of your edits, so when I tried to approve them they failed instead

Np, I'll have a look. Thanks:

reosarevok: is this how I should set the arrangement relationship https://img.tedomum.net/data/Screenshot%20from%... ?
