so, amazon ASINs

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

this has popped up quite a lot for me in this voting sprint

(btw, hi there, first time in the chat)

actually the question is, should we allow ASINs when the track lists are different but the covers are the same?

and when the release is the same but it doesn't provide a cover?

I usually avoid attaching ASINs with different track lists

it breaks both information and purchasing from that list of three things

nikki: is artist credit meant to solve the issue of bands renaming?

good question.

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

but if the changes are pretty minor, then yes, it solves that problem

hm, ok

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

legal issues problem?

like suede -> london suede, yaz/yazoo (whichever was the original name)

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...

yeah

gah

I see

I hate edits where I would vote yes for one thing and no for another

good to know it solves problems I didn't even know about :)

hehe

haha

it also means japanese (etc) artists who release stuff in america (etc) can have latin names in the artist credit instead of squiggles :)

a friend asked me for help to recognize a song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6jUb4930ZM 4:53. if you know it, please say!

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) ?

there will be two catalogue numbers linked to the disc in ngs

e.g. http://test.musicbrainz.org/release/ccdb37b8-6c...

err

linked to the release

btw jesus2099, I'm not sure about DAK in the catalogue number in http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14426599 ... I've seen it added to the front of catalogue numbers for indies releases quite a few times and cd japan even mentions it on http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/help/product_info.html#10

but I can't find any scans for that release...

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...

how do you mean?

so we really should edit *all those* mutlidisc catnums to avoid duplicates?

Having two catnums but it's the same release is weird in NGS link you gave

there is no more disc-to-catnum link now?

but whole-release-to-catnum it seems

not yet :( warp wants it though, so do I

I want to! But what to do now? edit the stuff like neotheone did? or letting them in place?

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

if we edit : what pattern? KICS-1182/3 or KICS-1182~3 or KICS-1182-83 ... etc... :/

(I even did it once, and then accidentally deleted the code :( )

*DAK* catnum : I had some doubts too as I couldn't find scan either

this other release is with another schemen (another label probably) http://img297.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/2/1/0/...

Schemen? Does jesus2099 have schemen stains?

euclid agency

i don't know what it is... I meant scheme, pattern,

nikki: so maybe i should abstain instead of voting no on that catnum change edit?

nikki: ?

nikki: about DAK, I found a scan for a so-called DAKHMS-7 in which I can actually see HMS-0007 http://page12.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p...

I don't know how you should vote :/

should we merge all the KONAMI BTW ?

there's http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=DA... and http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/13/63306717.jpg too

good question. I don't edit konami stuff so I'm not very familiar with it

let's try with teh cdjournal two-part catnum search...

http://search.cdjournal.com/disc/?t=2&na=EA... works but not http://search.cdjournal.com/disc/?t=2&na=EA... and not http://search.cdjournal.com/disc/?t=2&na=DA... and not http://search.cdjournal.com/disc/?t=2&na=DA...

it's so EAZZ-0025 indeed !

and now for "my" release event, it seems to be EAZZ-0013 http://search.cdjournal.com/disc/?t=2&na=EA...

nikki: DAK edit http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14432873

:)

thanks for your help

no problem

is there a list of discids without release events?

found :)

wow, there are so many discids left :(

pankkake: many of them are probably not real

(homebrew)

reosarevok: well I found two of three to be valid (ok, that's not much for a sample size :p)

Yeah, yeah, I said "many", not "most"

I imagine there are a good amount of real ones too

(the label has cat# 7770015M for one and 7770015F for the other…)

hm.

what about mp3 v0, v1, v2, 320, 256

:D

Well, I ask specifically because of the two cat#s

reosarevok: I've used two separate release events in the past when there were two formats with two catalogue numbers

But I want to enter an edit!

p.s. someone should really update the topic in this channel.

you do it :P

but I shouldn't.

oh, the topic

can't, no @'s
