yvanzo, Lotheric, zas, etc: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-1571 - we have "chanson" as a genre, but I'm afraid whether that has too many false positives and it should actually be chanson française like asked there...
reosarevok: chanson is just the usual translation of song
reosarevok
I know that, but do French people actually say "chanson française" when naming the genre?
(in Spain it's just "chanson", unsurprisingly :) )
yvanzo
yes
chanson française is considered as a genre as it applies to some French singers only
reosarevok
So we should rename the existing "chanson" genre :)
yvanzo
well, as you know, tags are ambiguous as they have different meanings for different people
chanson is not limited to chanson française, in France at least.

Sure, that's my point, seems "chanson" is not a safe way to say what it wants to say :)

is this a "remix" release? https://musicbrainz.org/release/ba620b5e-b13e-4... It's basically different versions of previously published songs, but it's not just a remix but recordings with slightly altered parts (e.g. one of them has different lyrics)
and: is this a "single" or an EP? Was released on a 7'', but the format alone doesn't make it a single
reosarevok: okay, then I don't put it as "remix", I'm not sure what that token should mean (i.e. the difference between a "remix" of the recording and a "remix" of a song as in electronic music)
and with respect to single / EP: think they just call it 7'', in that genre it's pretty common to have many small vinyl releases and calling something a "single" is rare

Hi, I happen to have here Direct Source Special Products item FI 11402, "Relaxation Box" 5 CD set. I figure it should be a release group, but I'm not clear on how to enter all the CDs without completely re-entering the individual releases. I do not have all the CDs in the box handy, but it conveniently lists them all.

@reosarevok: 2 of the 5 are already entered. If/when I find the others, I can enter them individually, then group them, or I could make them based on the partial information I have on the box.

ke4roh: if they exist individually as well then sure. If not then we should just have a 5 CD release

@reosarevok: Yes, they are individual albums with their own bar codes.
What kind of entry is the box then?
reosarevok
A sixth release, 5 CD albumcompilation
*album + compilation
You don't need to reenter the tracklists though, there's an Add medium -> existing tracklist option

There's something I'd want to ask clarification on. There's a Japanese record label called MEGAREX, and they release albums that are compilations of songs made by its members. Currently some of these albums have "Various Artists" marked as the artist in MusicBrainz, but others have "MEGAREX" as artist. Which one would be better to use?
reosarevok: the two covers, https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/e3a258a4-3... are different (one is removed for "not showing up", and the other they are adding. ) it's clear (to me) only one of these are the correct cover for this. but i don't know the right one
