I've got a question regarding separate releases. Should hi-res releases of albums with the same barcode as the streaming release be added as a separate release? For example, should a HDTracks and Spotify link be added to the same release if their barocode, cover art, track list, etc are the same?

No, we don't differentiate releases based on format/resolution/bitrate. If the barcode, artwork, mastering, etc. are the same, they are a single release.

If the releases are "remastered" for the new format with audible differences then it might make sense to separate them in specific cases, but the format alone isn't sufficient reason.
Specifically I'm not 100% sure I did the label artist relationships correctly.

The label artist relationships?

for tracks 2 and 7, i probably would use an artist credit closer to the format on bandcamp - "Emily Steinwall feat. Kyla Charter"

as far as the label, [no label] seems accurate

Er, I dropped an "and' in there. Should be "label and artist credits".

How do I enter a "featuring" credit like that?

edit the artist credit, there's a "join phrase" that defaults to " & " but can be changed to " feat. " (or whatever is appropriate)

just be aware that you need to include the spacing in the join phrase

there's potential inaccuracy in extrapolating release-level credits to recording level. Like, does Emily actually play both flute and saxophone on every track, or flute on some and saxophone on others?

highstrung: you should put it at a release level unless it applies to every recording equally, in that case
