        (interestingly, if you look closely, you see that the vinyl used in that cover image *isn't* the original version. Which makes me wonder what the cover art on the original looked like)

      • 2013-06-14 16507, 2013

      • xlotlu

      • 2013-06-14 16540, 2013

      • VxJasonxV
        definitely not 255 times

        errm. 63 and then 64
      • 2013-06-14 16517, 2013

      • SultS_
        clearly it fails before getting to 255
      • 2013-06-14 16532, 2013

      • VxJasonxV
        63 and 64 work

        try 127 and 128? :P

        yes, please? :)
      • 2013-06-14 16526, 2013

      • VxJasonxV
        127 works
      • 2013-06-14 16527, 2013

      • VxJasonxV
        128 does not

        I have a question about medleys. I am entering a band that plays a live medley of three covers of songs from other bands. How do I enter that? An AR between work <-> recording, which I would normally use for covers, gives me the option for a medley, but I lose the live and cover attributes. So what else can I do? Should I create a new work and then have work <-> work ARs indicating the work is a medley? Or something else?

      • 2013-06-14 16533, 2013

      • nikki
        the best thing to do would be to propose adding the same attributes to the medley relationship :P
      • 2013-06-14 16556, 2013

      • hawke_1
        or removing the stupid cover attribute. ;-)
      • 2013-06-14 16516, 2013

      • nikki
        (there was a proposal to merge the two relationships, but it got stuck because it's hard to get the wording to work correctly if you do that)
      • 2013-06-14 16517, 2013

      • nikki
        (and I'm still not convinced merging them is the right thing to do anyway :P)
      • 2013-06-14 16542, 2013

      • nikki
        but I can't see why anyone could be against just making the two have the same attributes
      • 2013-06-14 16557, 2013

      • MightyJay
        haha... sounds like a good idea. But unfortunately I don't have enough time for the style discussions :)
      • 2013-06-14 16530, 2013

      • MightyJay
        I'll leave it on my todo list then :) Maybe I will have some more time in the future
