Can anyone confirm whether adding Wikidata relationships works right now? I'm trying to add a link but it's not triggering the link type selection, and Wikidata is not among the options you can select manually

nevermind, randomly started working after a reload /shrug

crism: OK, that makes sense, thank you.

Here is the edit I made, the edit note is a bit more coherent than my IRC messages: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/62f43f90-4f5e...

hmmm.... I had a bit more of a think about it... so the Pentangle one is essentially a.l. lloyd's tune (ie link to the work Jack Orion) with further sections of the original ballad... so perhaps we ought to additionally link it back to the original ballad too. Or, create a new work, Pentangle's version of Jack Orion, with Glasgerion as text sections (ie lyrics) and with Jack Orion as tune, adapted and arranged by them.

(but I would probably just link it to both works instead)

Should I credit a VA album on a french label as "Multi‐interprètes"?

Hello there, I hope someone can help me please?

I am new to Musicbrainz and I am having difficulty adding my songs to my profile.

Jeffery: when you say "my songs", are you a musician trying to add your own releases to MB?

Yes

OK, what problems are you having exactly?

When adding a recording I cannot add my music to the page. It does not have an option to upload the songs. I have put my files on the Music  Picard app and I am unable to link the files to my profile.

MusicBrainz does not store or provide access to the actual songs, just information about them. See https://musicbrainz.org/doc/About

If you want to share your songs freely with the whole world, you could perhaps upload them to e.g. the Internet Archive (archive.org) and link it to your releases/recordings.

Oh thank you so much. I have been struggling with this. In that case, what will my Musicbrainz ID be?

The ID random and is automatically generated when an entity is created. Once you've released some music your ID will be created when you add it to the database.

They probably wanted their artist MBID for the BBC

Oh well, hopefully they'll find it

Isn't it a bit of a chicken and egg situation if they haven't released any music?

They might have released it, but not have added it to MB yet

BBC Introducing requires them to upload the music to the BBC system IIRC

But also asks for a MBID for the artist

And sometimes the artists understand that as "go to MB and upload your music there"

right, I did wonder where that idea originated from.

Hi, on https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_API is sectiopn "To add or remove releases" to a collection, I tried 3 libs, but digest auth fails. Is digest still supported?

A few days ago I used curl to PUT ca. 150 releases into a collection. So I guess digest is still supported

Nice, is there an public example with curl ?

I've literally adjusted the example given in the MB API plus some parameters for curl: https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--digest https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-X

ROpdebee: https://musicbrainz.org/collection/bfe130aa-abb... Finally an overview of darkened stuff :)

ooh nice!

so much garth brooks

dinoex: If you still need help with the MB API maybe ask in #metabrainz That's where the devs hang out :)

curl is working for me.

curl --silent --request PUT --digest --user '#{@username}:#{@password}' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'User-Agent: #{CLIENT_NAME}' URL

The most unusual medium format I've seen so far: https://musicbrainz.org/release/7ef8cf73-e791-4...

that's quite unusual

mine was a zip-100 disc

not as original as yours

statistic: barcodes found 391, not found 82

Is there such a thing as minimalist rap, I wonder, where people brag about how *little* they consume :D

Increasingly often I'm coming across these "nog geen afbeelding beschikbaar" placeholder images for ASINs. E.g https://musicbrainz.org/release/2b634baa-1d9b-4...

Based on search results by Google seems to have first happened around March 2020

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/587689 http://discophage.com/2020/04/11/amazon-ever-wo...

Is it time yet to ditch ASINs (at least for physical stuff)?

those images are so weird - it is unclear to me why the placeholder image is in dutch

reosarevok: hey! Thanks for your help with Villanelle French Horn (https://musicbrainz.org/release/a2a70865-d841-4...) - I noticed you added movements numbers to "le monde minuscule", but not to the recordings. Should they be left off the recordings?

Oh, I did not? No, I just missed a click then

Oh, wait, numbers

Not the main name

Are they printed? If not, we should not add them there :)

right. you got the name, but not the I. II. ...

But if they are, we might as well

reosarevok: that's the advice I needed. They are not printed on the disc materials.

I'm not sure what minimalist rap is supposed to be... must be kinda recent, never heard of it

Ok :) Then I think that's fine

Lotheric: I just was listening to something about having a lot of gold chains and wondered if someone is rapping about having *less* stuff :p

hehe

music for the "monk with no worldly possessions" demographic

makes me think of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8-9mY-JACM

oof, last.fm down for over 30 minutes

It's the third time this month I'm seeing such a note: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/79097026 Although the first one was not as friendly...

still down, just went to use it and then checked here when I saw new messages...

this kind of downtime is strongly suggestive of operations there being a ghost ship :/
