in case anyone was wondering: CAA currently contains ~4.25M images, totalling roughly 5.37TB of data. Double that if you also count backup space

ROpdebee: was that created by Avamander then? We could just ask them, they're an active MB user

Seems like it. I don't think they can do it themselves, but IA is handling it already

Ok

correction: previous estimate was wrong, it's ~3M images

might be mundane, might be awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unAO6uANtdY

I'm currently unable to upload new cover art, anyone else?

yes

Hi guys ... i have issues with adding a sencond CD to an release ...

how to do that?

first CD is allready there ...

Press Edit -> Tracklist tab -> At the bottom press Add Medium

also are you sure it's credited as 'track 1', 'track 2' and so on??

I just have the disk

no booklet

i will try to improve ..

ok found it is there now a way to read the tracks easily from picard?

If Picard just shows track 1, track 2, etc. it's not gonna help. Afaik there's no way to import picard to MB other than copy/pasting

I usually use dBpoweramp to rip CDs as it will try to auto-match the track metadata using multiple sources

If there's any info on the disc you can use to look it up online I would try that, such as barcode or cat#

i guess its an exotic disk :-) i was not able to pic any ifnormaton from Freedb for that one ...

make sure to use Picard to look up the disc id to make sure it's not an existing release on MB

is there an easy way to catch the disk id when im in the add Medium menu?

disc ID can only be added from cd rippers

see: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Add_Disc_IDs

year ...

Picard also can do

but I have a bad workflow there :-)

i added now 5 tracks to the media

saved

read the disk id via picard and eddeited the entry

to add the disk id

thats not that compfortable

it whould be nicer to import directy when creating the media

I agree!

averyfollett not just disc burners, if you lookup a CD in picard you can use it to submit the disc ID on the site

also there is a site that converts EAC logs into disc IDs.

averyfollett: Yes. IA borked something, working on it

Can anyone confirm that uploading cover art still works on releases that already have cover art?

should be fixed

When I add a new release for classical music, I make the release artist "composer; performer" and the track artist just the composer, but the style guide says the recording artist must be the performer but how do I set this as I upload the release? Even when i do not click "Copy all track artist credits to associated recordings." like the warning says to, it still credits the composer and I have

to go back and make votable edits to each individual track.

Is there no way to manualy set the recording artist upon adding a release?

hi

I don't know the answer, but you're asking in the right place
