I've never even heard of purevolume, nor seen an AR (excluding that one). :)

I hadn't heard of it until I saw the AR - same for MusicMoz and Jamendo too, actually

Mm, I'd heard of Jamendo, but not MusicMoz, no. :/

Stop making me look at that page, I'm going to remove all those killyughradio wiki links at some point. >.<

lol, I guess filtering out all urls with "wiki" in them would be bad?

IBDB? What's that? Does that count as an IMDB link now?

But it's not affiliated with IMDB at all. Seems to me it should be killed but I haven't read the style mailing list recently to know if it's allowed.

If someone wants to add another AR to move them to, it'd probably be fine, but asking for that involves waiting for that. :p

FauxFaux/Kerensky97: I brought up the problems with both the wiki and imdb ARs in style, in an email on the 5th - no responses (actually, almost no traffic at all on that mailing list) since then
Well, first, I'd have to look up what the words mean. :P

FauxFaux: i assume you know what translation means.

I guess eration is where they changed squiggle to latin, but left it in gook.

translation is "FauxFaux" --> "FalseFalse". transliteration is "FauxFaux" --> "fauksfauks"
2007-09-14 25708, 2007

FauxFaux: transliteration doesn't change the language, only the script. basically you write down more or less what it sounds like.
2007-09-14 25748, 2007

The main question is; Is an english release a translation of the transliteration, a translation of the original, or both?
2007-09-14 25730, 2007

the original releases.

you could have a japanese release transliterated into hangul (korean).
2007-09-14 25702, 2007

I just saw one that was Simp. / Trad. (and English) transliterated.

*Latin.

"Destroy all Monsters" is a English translation of "怪獣総進撃". "hoo do dai chan" (or whatever it is) is a transliteration of "怪獣総進撃"
2007-09-14 25704, 2007
warp
"怪獣総進撃" transliterates to something like "kaijuu sou shingeki"
2007-09-14 25708, 2007
brianfreud
and yes, transliterations can be messy - I've run into a few Korean releases by Chinese artists using Japanese titles, where you get all sorts of funky script mixes

Whilst you're all awake, is there a way to compare releases on the site? At the moment, I've been lining the text up and flicking between tabs. :P

that's about how I do it faux - or you can load them into merge, and compare right on the batch edit screen

It's no good, you'll never notice subtle changes that way.
