CatCat loves people who *fixes* christmas releases ,instead of *adding* or *borking*

outsidecontext: Putting it that way, I'm sure the pseudo-label would be a lot less work ;)
outsidecontext
a pseudo-label would make it easier to list releases without having to handle the special case of self-released
it wouldn't be neccessary to update client apps, for example
dholmes
Good point
outsidecontext
but it should have a well defined MBID, i think. so you can handle the special case :)
mudcrow
whats the definition of a self-released album?
dholmes
mudcrow: the contrapositive of the definition of a label ;)
mudcrow
contrapositive? huh?

Mmm, I wish cdid lookups wern't by index, very irritating when trying to use a dumb cd ripper. :)
(Cd ripping in picard!)

mudcrow: If label is a loosely defined entity, then self-release was published by a strictly undefined anti-entity.
dholmes
mudcrow: we couldn't decide what a label is anyways, but a self-released album is whatever isn't released by a label, so we can't really answer your question until we define a label :)
I hope nobody minds, was just fixing beta1 -> final
srotta
Many of the big stars have their own labels, so they would probably move to "self-released".
CatCat
there's a reason this chan ain't -t ;)
mudcrow
i think about 80% of all my vinyl could be classed as selfreleased. most punk bands use their own label
outsidecontext
srotta: no, if they have own labels the labels should be entered as labels
dholmes
srotta: I don't think those should count; in those cases thhe stars actually really do create a label. There's a big difference between having your own label and mailing out your own CDs
CatCat
exactly
mudcrow
how? isnt that just a method of distribution
srotta
dholmes: What _is_ the difference, exactly?
dholmes
Unfortunately we just haven't decided on where that difference is demarcated ;)
outsidecontext
i think "self-released" is more for bands that are not signed by a label, don't own a label but rpoduce and sell CDs anyway.
CatCat
(i know i catalysed this discusiomn, but its kinda going over my head, i pretty much agree with the sentiment)
i think we needto defien and havethis down as soon as possible before this get bigger
dholmes
outsidecontext: I agree with that definition. But of course it still depends on the definition of a label ;)
CatCat
i am wondering why it wasnt hashed out *before* we had labels
amkes me wonder abotu the history of [unknown9
outsidecontext
dholmes: and there are surely some difficult cases :)
srotta
Exactly, we're going in circles here.
CatCat
and what mb woudld have looked liek if it didnt have Va form the get go
outsidecontext
maybe this should really be raised on the mailing list
