      • VxJasonxV
        any suggestion for what release types, statuses, etc. to use for one-offs like soundcloud, youtube, etc. uploads?
      • 2012-05-30 15124, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        one-offs as in just a single song.
      • 2012-05-30 15139, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        also, more specifically, one of those one-offs is a mashup of two songs, does that change status?

        ... what in the world is up with http://musicbrainz.org/artist/f7133014-2377-427f-… ?
      • 2012-05-30 15112, 2012

      • kepstin should open a ticket for that
      • 2012-05-30 15139, 2012

        I count 4 /separate/ "Album + Soundtrack" sections on that page.

        "Various artist release groups aren't correctly grouped by release group type" - now that's a tricky sentence to read :/
      • 2012-05-30 15114, 2012

        or abbreviations, actually :P

        "VA RGs aren't correctly grouped by RG type" clarifies where the splits between functional units are :P

      • 2012-05-30 15138, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        is there any easy way to convert detached recordings to singles?

      • 2012-05-30 15131, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        there's a tagger button
      • 2012-05-30 15151, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        huh, it created a [nat] release
      • 2012-05-30 15153, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        interesting

      • brianfreud
        VxJasonxV, only difference from the old way is that all NATs will go into that same [nat] listing in Picard, rather than one [nat] per artist
      • 2012-05-30 15159, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        I'm noticing this
      • 2012-05-30 15114, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        which is why I did recordings one artist at a time
      • 2012-05-30 15116, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        \o/
      • 2012-05-30 15128, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        it works, but I'll still turn them into singles
      • 2012-05-30 15132, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        but I'd love an easy way to do that
      • 2012-05-30 15134, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        (hint hint)
      • 2012-05-30 15153, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        just give me a button that creates a release with all the data that IS there, and I'll fill in the meta stuff. official/bootleg/promo/etc.

      • 2012-05-30 15114, 2012

      • jossy
        So how do i get the music files for those metadataS?
      • 2012-05-30 15123, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        buy the albums

      • VxJasonxV
        if I'm understanding correctly, your two best options are the API, or the Database. The previous link allows you to get access to the data in the database directly (which is prefered, much less load on MBz itself)

        hmmm... I don't think the API gives you access to cover art though
      • 2012-05-30 15118, 2012

      • VxJasonxV
        or I've skimmed over it
      • 2012-05-30 15145, 2012

        yeah
      • 2012-05-30 15118, 2012
