@all: Please vote on Freso's artist merge edits at the top of https://musicbrainz.org/user/Freso/edits/open so that duplicate artists without disambiguation comment are history by Monday's release!
for JJ Lin, the one album on the one being merged in is mentioned on the zh.wikipedia page

haven't found similar proof for Crowd Lu
2012-10-13 28700, 2012
ianmcorvidae
though the listing for JJ Lin does mention the Crowd Lu song (the being-merged artists each only have one release, and it's the same one) and they don't seem to make any attempt to disambiguate
2012-10-13 28704, 2012
ianmcorvidae
which suggests to me they're the same

hitting the "remember me" checkbox may fix some of these problems; I'm not clear on the details :/

luks is now really curious about the opus codec
2012-10-13 28734, 2012
luks
it doesn't seem to have the concept of sample rate, it can decode at pretty much any sample rate
2012-10-13 28724, 2012
ianweller
weird.

I guess we are back to analog, even with digital technologies
Speaking of pro-tips, don't try to upload cover art to several releases at the same time.
2012-10-13 28718, 2012

You will get them mixed up. Esp. if you're somewhat tired and/or stressed out too.
2012-10-13 28703, 2012
Freso
Not that I would ever do that, of course, but if I happened to do it anyway, I would gladly accept votes on https://musicbrainz.org/edit/19298614 to fix the release's cover image.
2012-10-13 28758, 2012
Freso
Ah, it's fixed itself afterall. Guess there was some caching or something in place.
2012-10-13 28708, 2012

That edit's not as urgent to get votes for anymore. :)

Assuming an "a capella" version is the same "recording" as the vocals+instrumentals version (ie., the a capella one being just the vocal track(s) of th recording), would the a capella one be a remix of the full version?

(really, the full version is a mix that includes the a cappella version...)
2012-10-13 28721, 2012

but i'd just do them as separate recordings on the same work :/

kepstin-laptop: Yeah. I couldn't think of anything proper either. :(
2012-10-13 28735, 2012
CallerNo6 agrees with kepstin-laptop given what we have to work with, but what would be the right answer? an "anit-karaoke" relationship? A "master" entity (sigh)?
2012-10-13 28753, 2012
CallerNo6
oops, "anti-karaoke"
2012-10-13 28719, 2012
Freso
It's not really "anti" karaoke though.
2012-10-13 28728, 2012

"Play-along" perhaps. :p

You might be joking, but it sounds good to me. Instead of "choose your own adventure", "choose your own counter-melody"

Some instrument instruction/teach-yourself books have "minus one" recordings, where one instrument/instrumental track is left out for the student to fill in.
2012-10-13 28744, 2012
kepstin
those a cappella mixes are cool, because they're useful as samples for remixes and stuff
2012-10-13 28705, 2012
kepstin has one single that included 5 separate mixes on the song, each with one band member removed from the mix

I personlly like Run-D.M.C.'s My Adidas (a capella) almost as much as the "full mix".
