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

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?
2021-04-23 11337, 2021
Jeffery
Yes
2021-04-23 11315, 2021

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?
2021-04-23 11302, 2021
atj
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
2021-04-23 11345, 2021
reosarevok
Oh well, hopefully they'll find it
2021-04-23 11359, 2021
atj
Isn't it a bit of a chicken and egg situation if they haven't released any music?
2021-04-23 11327, 2021
reosarevok
They might have released it, but not have added it to MB yet
2021-04-23 11337, 2021
reosarevok
BBC Introducing requires them to upload the music to the BBC system IIRC
2021-04-23 11346, 2021
reosarevok
But also asks for a MBID for the artist
2021-04-23 11300, 2021
reosarevok
And sometimes the artists understand that as "go to MB and upload your music there"

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

reosarevok: hey! Thanks for your help with Villanelle French Horn (https://musicbrainz.org/release/a2a70865-d841-48b…) - I noticed you added movements numbers to "le monde minuscule", but not to the recordings. Should they be left off the recordings?
2021-04-23 11354, 2021
reosarevok
Oh, I did not? No, I just missed a click then
2021-04-23 11310, 2021

Oh, wait, numbers

2021-04-23 11324, 2021

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

right. you got the name, but not the I. II. ...
2021-04-23 11335, 2021

But if they are, we might as well
2021-04-23 11342, 2021

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
