but i admit, i hadn't actually looked at the release in question and seeing it now, i'm a bit less confident

although, changing the existing release would've been controversial anyway, and it's easier to merge than to disentangle, so eh

damn those digital stores that allow the artist to just change all information whenever they feel like it without any history

wanted to ask something about release labels, so as per the docs for special purpose labels, it is true that some music services like Spotify requires a label field even if it's self-publishing right?
there's no imprints, and it's been digital releases so far

intrnl: my perspective differs from others, I prefer there to be a legal entity, or some indication that the entity exists beyond self publishing to streaming sites (even a bandcamp for the "label" or a twitter account or etc.)
2021-05-12 13256, 2021
darwin
intrnl: but it's a fair critique that many "labels" that do have a bandcamp or other social media do not have a legal entity

whatever is going on there with (48.0kHz/24bit) and so on is probably wrong too, fwiw.

unless there's clarity that there's actually a deliberate different mastering for the higher res files, they should not be a distinct recording or release.

interesting in this case that there's different barcodes..

to me, i honestly feel that it's fine as long as there is actual intent to make a label for themselves, which in this case i don't think the artist i mentioned was intending to do, more simply wanting to self-publish digitally.
2021-05-12 13258, 2021
darwin
yeah, I am not-unsympathetic to that view...
2021-05-12 13237, 2021
darwin
but often the only indication that they intend to make a label for themselves is that their "label" credit on spotify etc. has a name different from their artist name.
2021-05-12 13236, 2021
ROpdebee
if there would be an actual legal entity, wouldn't there be an <artist name> Inc. or similar in the (c) and (p) instead of just <artist name> on Spotify?
2021-05-12 13237, 2021
darwin
what if the legal entity shares a name with the artist :)

ROpdebee: probably. but as chaban's ticket shows: our documentation doesnt actually say clearly what the *right* way of doing it is either
