        "credited to only Sophie Sugar vs Sunlounger"
      • 2012-05-19 14033, 2012

      • reosarevok points at only
      • 2012-05-19 14001, 2012

      • SultS
        ok, I think I get it then… but it seems like a weird thing to ignore
      • 2012-05-19 14002, 2012

      • reosarevok
        It can only edit artist credits that contain that artist with that name IIRC
      • 2012-05-19 14035, 2012

      • reosarevok guesses you would have been able to edit the actual AC from the Alias tab
      • 2012-05-19 14035, 2012

      • SultS
        what if I have “Sophie Sugar vs. Sunlounger” & “somethirdartist” credited as just like that?
      • 2012-05-19 14056, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I think it can do it as long as you have "Sophie Sugar vs Sunlounger" as "Sophie Sugar vs Sunlounger" (and some more stuff)
      • 2012-05-19 14005, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But not if it's itself credited as other thing
      • 2012-05-19 14010, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (which means the wording is confusing)
      • 2012-05-19 14004, 2012

      • SultS
        I guess it should mention that aliases could be in use, if they block splitting
      • 2012-05-19 14041, 2012

      • SultS
        but thanks for fixing it :)
      • 2012-05-19 14046, 2012

        It should

        Can you enter a ticket?

      • SultS
        yeah
      • 2012-05-19 14000, 2012

      • SultS
        but am I wrong in thinking that it should allow splitting now?
      • 2012-05-19 14008, 2012

      • SultS
        because it doesn’t
      • 2012-05-19 14000, 2012

      • reosarevok
        It should be fully empty now
      • 2012-05-19 14004, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So there should be nothing to split
      • 2012-05-19 14018, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (and it would be removed automatically etc)
      • 2012-05-19 14026, 2012

      • SultS
        oh, I didn’t see the automatic thing before either
      • 2012-05-19 14026, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Isn't it empty?
      • 2012-05-19 14028, 2012

      • SultS
        now it’s there
      • 2012-05-19 14044, 2012

        SultS: I've found that happens the artist is in a screwy artist credit
      • 2012-05-19 14000, 2012

      • SultS
        yeah, 1st time I’ve seen it… I’ve seen these kinds of screwy credits, but never had to split the artists
      • 2012-05-19 14023, 2012

      • CatCat
        I've come across it a few times

        http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4742 might be something you are interested then
      • 2012-05-19 14012, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So aliases in a locale are only ordered by name?
      • 2012-05-19 14019, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Or by primary then name?
      • 2012-05-19 14053, 2012

      • reosarevok
        In any case, I'd think it makes sense to order by date...
      • 2012-05-19 14054, 2012

      • reosarevok
        dunno

      • CatCat
      • 2012-05-19 14004, 2012

      • SultS
        my guess would be only name

      • SultS
        that can’t be correct
      • 2012-05-19 14009, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah
      • 2012-05-19 14012, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I'd approve and fix though
      • 2012-05-19 14028, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (most of them are correct, and that one is clearly our artist credit system being screwy
      • 2012-05-19 14029, 2012

      • 2012-05-19 14005, 2012

      • reosarevok does so
      • 2012-05-19 14010, 2012

      • SultS
        yeah, most likely
      • 2012-05-19 14033, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I think you can cancel http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17669311 now, CatCat

        what? no way
      • 2012-05-19 14047, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, I approved his fix
      • 2012-05-19 14055, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So there should be nothing left to change...
      • 2012-05-19 14057, 2012

      • CatCat
        I am doing it the right way with artist credits editing, not going in and editing the release + recording

        Well, he was fixing the whole release :p

      • CatCat
        hm
      • 2012-05-19 14057, 2012

      • reosarevok

      • 2012-05-19 14018, 2012

      • CatCat
        this is why I work with artist credits instead of "individual tracks" thing
      • 2012-05-19 14055, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, if he has the release, it sounds reasonable that he'd try to fix the release :p
      • 2012-05-19 14000, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (the problem is how complicated that is...)

      • reosarevok
        There, I think *now* it's good

        Would you place a hip hop release and a release with the instrumentals for it in the same RG, or a new one?

        I don’t know about hip hop, but at least in other genres, yeah
      • 2012-05-19 14002, 2012

        same one, that is

      • 2012-05-19 14021, 2012

      • SultS
        warp, but what if there’s a release which also has both versions in it?
      • 2012-05-19 14009, 2012

      • warp
        SultS: same problem as any other box set.
      • 2012-05-19 14052, 2012

      • SultS
        I don’t mean a box set, just a different version of the same release… like say deluxe edition
      • 2012-05-19 14034, 2012

      • warp
        SultS: if it you have a release A, release B, and release C which contains release A and release B. then release C is like a box set.
      • 2012-05-19 14056, 2012

      • warp
        SultS: are you describing a different situation?
      • 2012-05-19 14002, 2012

      • warp
        (I guess using "release" in the sentence above doesn't help in clearing up the confusion :)
      • 2012-05-19 14036, 2012

      • SultS
        I would guess that depends on the marketing… I don’t think simultanious releases of release X, release X (instrumentals), and release X + release X instrumentals make the last one similar to a box set
      • 2012-05-19 14033, 2012

      • SultS
        I don’t have any good examples atm though, except for the one that only has instrumentals as a bonus disc: http://musicbrainz.org/release/6ce9e9ce-22d8-3f1a… , not a separate release
      • 2012-05-19 14039, 2012

      • warp
        if release X and release X (instrumentals) are released seperately, they should go in seperate release groups. the third release contains two releases from seperate release groups, and is thus like a box set.
      • 2012-05-19 14007, 2012

      • SultS
        relased together, sold separately
      • 2012-05-19 14058, 2012

      • warp
        if they're sold seperately they're seperate releases.
      • 2012-05-19 14011, 2012

      • SultS
        well yes, but they are versions of the same album, except one doesn’t have the vocals
      • 2012-05-19 14044, 2012

      • warp
        no, they're not versions of the same album. they're different albums, one of them being based on the other.
      • 2012-05-19 14038, 2012

      • warp
        that's like saying a remix album is a different version of the same album.
      • 2012-05-19 14044, 2012

      • warp
        (which it is not :)
      • 2012-05-19 14024, 2012

      • SultS
        I would still say that depends on a marketing… I’ve seen 3 versions of an album that you could say are a) original versions, b) chill out versions c) both… but the main release is c
      • 2012-05-19 14035, 2012

      • warp
        stuff should only go in the same release group if you can substitute on release in the release group with the other, and still get largely the same experience. there should only be minor differences between release groups.
      • 2012-05-19 14046, 2012

      • warp
        er, between releases inside a release group.
      • 2012-05-19 14014, 2012

      • warp
        Tubular Bells 2003 is a good edge case here. for fans of Tubular Bells, 2003 is not a substitute for the original recording, so they would want to keep it in a separate release group.
      • 2012-05-19 14040, 2012

      • warp
        but for casual listeners it is obviously conceptually the same album as Tubular Bells, so it should go in the same release group.
      • 2012-05-19 14003, 2012

      • SultS
        really? I find 2003 to be vastly different :)

        SultS: the difference between TB and TB2003 is much smaller than Grandmasters and Grandmasters: Instrumentals (DJ Muggs vs GZA).

        does split single always contain tracks from 2 different artists?

      • 2012-05-19 14006, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Well, it's a split, right? It can't be the same artist
      • 2012-05-19 14033, 2012

      • reosarevok
        It can be the same person, though, under two project names (warp ;) )

        depends how you interpret split :)

        then it seems there might be some need for secondary types that can only be used by selecting a specific primary type

        should this release follow the volume style? http://musicbrainz.org/release/5e396e48-5bc1-4d28…

        hmm. apparently he is planning to release a volume beta at some point, eh.

      • ianweller
        the main question is should it remain how it is or be changed to "Minecraft, Volume Alpha"

      • ianweller is one
      • 2012-05-19 14014, 2012

      • kepstin would be OK with "Minecraft, Volume Alpha"
