Does anyone know, if spotify has a release on it, and every detail matches the other published one, is it generally the same thing, or is it distinct

and if it's distinct, how do we handle filling in things like the labels

what's "the other published one"?

it also appears to be a digital release

but its the official, original one i htink

oh its itunes

same release, yes

if every detail matches

i did see a different barcode

but i am having trouble verifying it

anyway, this is what i was looking at https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/d30a6a9b-...

im fairly sure its the same songs in the same order at a minimum, though

it seems like it was built as two releases, but it's the same album twice, so i really dont know whats up

4534530114167 Aniplex Inc. in Japan

& 886447381878 Aniplex Inc. elsewhere

according to spotify api

oh api

thats useful

thanks

actually i wonder ... did the spotify api say anything about a label for it?

i know it's aniplex but im not sure what htat should be

I'd like to add an entity for https://vgmdb.net/org/1677, but I'm not sure which category it goes under. Label?

" Only became a company in 2010, released albums as a label prior to that. "

I am.. confused by that statement

darwin: imprint vs actual legal firm I guess?

these should be merged right? https://musicbrainz.org/artist/63734e09-a009-47... https://musicbrainz.org/artist/84488abe-7397-41...

There's no need for a separate legal name artist here

atj, yup

imho, we should only reference the artists and his multiple aliases/projects and make the UI better instead of splitting different projects (to filter them)

but that's just me

not a guideline

thanks Lotheric

In the past I've created some legal name artists purely for credit purposes as that seemed most logical to me, but I didn't understand the style guidelines at that point.

David Nugent aka Mr Angles going at it again: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/77681937

If you wouldn't want your real info put online then don't put it online in multiple places!

chaban: these two need merging https://musicbrainz.org/artist/8902b385-48cf-45... https://musicbrainz.org/artist/afaa3a7d-cb85-43...

Pezzner seems to be the primary artist name based on Discogs, so I was going to merge into that, thoughts?

I am thinking these two labels, FMS https://musicbrainz.org/label/3c3bac8c-7bae-4e0..., and Fenn Music Service GMBH should be merged: https://musicbrainz.org/label/3760cbdd-845f-400...

the Fenn Music Service one is linked to https://www.discogs.com/label/40016, which is just FMS there

on the CDs, basically FMS is in the logo, and Fenn Music Service GMBH is always printed below it

and the LC code is linked to just FMS on that list of label codes on RYM..

so essentially, I'm not sure if Fenn Music Service GMBH should be merged into FMS (it's a publisher/holding company but there don't seem to be any publisher relationships added as of yet), or the other way round.

(although, to my mind, I would probably merge into FMS then set the label code there given the above, and then add Fenn Music Service GMBH as the parent company of the FMS label)

The artwork seems to be FMS, so I'd go with that, but I'm often wrong.

might just enter the merge and see if anyone votes it down (pretty doubtful it would get voted down, but still)

It seems Fenn Music Service GmbH has many subsidiaries or is it just the labels they've distributed? https://labelrecherche.gvl.de

I honestly have no idea

but that does suggest the label is FMS, and then the parent is Fenn Music Service GMBH.., although now I am worried some of those titles in the database are not to FMS at all but to one of the sibling labels of FMS.

It seems Fenn Music Service is generally a distributor while FMS is a record label: https://www.abendblatt.de/region/kreis-lauenbur... https://www.waz.de/staedte/duisburg/fuer-sysiph...

You can bypass the paywall with something like https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls...

[14:14] <Lotheric> imho, we should only reference the artists and his multiple aliases/projects and make the UI better instead of splitting different projects (to filter them)

I agree totally though

hm re the angles thing, woudl it rally be that bad to merge tri angels int othe dude and thne rename it "tri angles" and have "david Nugent" as an legal name alias?

or whatever performance names the gy is using, merge thme all and have a legal name alias?

idk.

Merging wouldn't resolve this issue. It's the legal name they want to get rid off.

hmm,... OK so Fenn Music Service GMBH is already with the relationship 'distributor', so what I will do is just set the existing releases to use FMS (if it's the case) and then add a distributor relationship for it

and remove the LC code

and attach that to FMS instead

CatQuest, I don't see the point of performance names when we have artist credits now

drama cds are the worst T.T

got 13 out of 17, but now im reduced to listening to the last 4 to try to identify the voice actors myself cause i cant find anything that says it T.T
