are they for cover art, for information or for purchasing?

davitf
actually the question is, should we allow ASINs when the track lists are different but the covers are the same?
2011-05-06 12606, 2011
davitf
and when the release is the same but it doesn't provide a cover?

I usually avoid attaching ASINs with different track lists
2011-05-06 12654, 2011
flamingspinach
it breaks both information and purchasing from that list of three things

nikki: is artist credit meant to solve the issue of bands renaming?
2011-05-06 12625, 2011
nikki
good question.
2011-05-06 12653, 2011
nikki
we don't currently have a way to filter releases by artist credit, so I could imagine some people wouldn't want to merge artists if the names are too different
2011-05-06 12609, 2011
nikki
but if the changes are pretty minor, then yes, it solves that problem
2011-05-06 12649, 2011
Mineo
hm, ok
2011-05-06 12613, 2011
nikki
and it also solves the different name for legal issues problem, since we can just use whatever name they used on the cover for that release
2011-05-06 12603, 2011
Mineo
legal issues problem?
2011-05-06 12635, 2011
nikki
like suede -> london suede, yaz/yazoo (whichever was the original name)
2011-05-06 12606, 2011

Mineo: where artist "Foo Bar" cannot use the name "Foo Bar" in a single country because it is trademarked there, stuff like that.

covenant/the kovenant... puffy/puffy amiyumi...
2011-05-06 12611, 2011

yeah
2011-05-06 12650, 2011

gah

I see

I hate edits where I would vote yes for one thing and no for another
2011-05-06 12610, 2011

good to know it solves problems I didn't even know about :)
2011-05-06 12613, 2011
nikki
hehe
2011-05-06 12634, 2011

2011-05-06 12643, 2011
nikki
it also means japanese (etc) artists who release stuff in america (etc) can have latin names in the artist credit instead of squiggles :)
is there a NGS problem with multi-discs release that have the disc catnum on each disc (I mean an ongoing catnum +1 sequence like KICS-1182 on disc 1 and KICS-1183 on disc 2, just an example) ?
oh it's a puitty that there is no migration script understanding that when there is a disc1/disc2 AR link, then sequential catnums are to be analysed...
2011-05-06 12633, 2011
nikki
how do you mean?
2011-05-06 12636, 2011
jesus2099
so we really should edit *all those* mutlidisc catnums to avoid duplicates?
2011-05-06 12606, 2011
jesus2099
Having two catnums but it's the same release is weird in NGS link you gave
2011-05-06 12625, 2011
jesus2099
there is no more disc-to-catnum link now?
2011-05-06 12638, 2011
jesus2099
but whole-release-to-catnum it seems
2011-05-06 12643, 2011
nikki
not yet :( warp wants it though, so do I
2011-05-06 12616, 2011
jesus2099
I want to! But what to do now? edit the stuff like neotheone did? or letting them in place?
2011-05-06 12618, 2011
nikki
and it wouldn't be too difficult to make it take ABCD-1234 and ABCD-1235 and display ABCD-1234~5 even though it's stored as two catalogue numbers, if we wanted to do that
2011-05-06 12647, 2011
jesus2099
if we edit : what pattern? KICS-1182/3 or KICS-1182~3 or KICS-1182-83 ... etc... :/
2011-05-06 12606, 2011
nikki
(I even did it once, and then accidentally deleted the code :( )
2011-05-06 12656, 2011
jesus2099
*DAK* catnum : I had some doubts too as I couldn't find scan either
