      • BrianFreud
        well, esp considering how grey bootlegs area anyhow,
      • 2007-04-25 11536, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        If I want the show from date X, that's the most important
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        normally the bonus tracks are just the spice on the meal
      • 2007-04-25 11526, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        and thus, I think the "meal" is what ought to be reflected in the title listing
      • 2007-04-25 11532, 2007

      • cooperaa
        yup
      • 2007-04-25 11554, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        and that "meal" I treat as live
      • 2007-04-25 11503, 2007

      • drsaunde
        i disagree completely
      • 2007-04-25 11506, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        but when you get smorgasboard - a mix from different shows, dates, etc,
      • 2007-04-25 11512, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        then it's a compilationm, by definition
      • 2007-04-25 11534, 2007

      • drsaunde
        when you go as far as to put a date in the title (and these normally aren't part of any titles), all tracks have to be from that date
      • 2007-04-25 11548, 2007

      • BrianFreud disagrees strongly
      • 2007-04-25 11503, 2007

      • cooperaa
        BrianFreud, it is a compilation but live overrules
      • 2007-04-25 11517, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        where does it say that in the wiki?
      • 2007-04-25 11524, 2007

      • cooperaa
        it doesn't
      • 2007-04-25 11528, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        exactly
      • 2007-04-25 11534, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        main problem is,
      • 2007-04-25 11541, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        we have a totally overloaded field
      • 2007-04-25 11544, 2007

      • cooperaa
        we can't explain every single little detail
      • 2007-04-25 11546, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it really needs to be two fields
      • 2007-04-25 11548, 2007

      • cooperaa
        yes you're right it is overloaded
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • cooperaa
        we need sub-Live categories
      • 2007-04-25 11557, 2007

      • cooperaa
        but we don't have any atm
      • 2007-04-25 11516, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        well, why do I have to choose, for an unplugged album, "Live" or "Official"?
      • 2007-04-25 11518, 2007

      • ajh
        so, once audio is done, is video next? :)
      • 2007-04-25 11520, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        it's both
      • 2007-04-25 11522, 2007

      • cooperaa
        but that doesn't mean can start using the non-Live sub categories for live releases
      • 2007-04-25 11531, 2007

      • cooperaa
        tt
      • 2007-04-25 11535, 2007

      • cooperaa
        you set it to Live and Official
      • 2007-04-25 11546, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        oops, you're right
      • 2007-04-25 11547, 2007

      • cooperaa
        Live/Album/Compilation/etc
      • 2007-04-25 11555, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        sorry, thinking the wrong combination
      • 2007-04-25 11535, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        server's 502ing, so I can't pull the list, but offhand, anyone remember the options in that dropdown?
      • 2007-04-25 11541, 2007

      • cooperaa
        it really should be like Live: Compilation / EP / Concert Recording / "album"; Studio: Album / EP / Single / Compilation, etc
      • 2007-04-25 11544, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        ah, got it to let me in...
      • 2007-04-25 11504, 2007

      • cooperaa
        and then you set the release status to Official / Promo / Bootleg
      • 2007-04-25 11505, 2007

      • BrianFreud waits
      • 2007-04-25 11518, 2007

      • drsaunde
        the plan for the future is to be able to select more than one...so you can have Live & Compilation...or Live & Spoken Word..or Compilation and EP..etc
      • 2007-04-25 11528, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        Ok, currently we have: (unknown), Album, Single, EP, Compilation, Soundtrack, Spokenword, Interview, Audiobook, Live, Remix, and Other
      • 2007-04-25 11540, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        i see that list, however, as two groups mixed as one
      • 2007-04-25 11546, 2007

      • cooperaa
        yes it definitey is
      • 2007-04-25 11556, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        It OUGHT to be: (unknown), Album, Single, EP, Compilation, Soundtrack
      • 2007-04-25 11505, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        then separately: (unknown), Spokenword, Interview, Audiobook, Live, Remix, and Other
      • 2007-04-25 11508, 2007

      • drsaunde
        not even
      • 2007-04-25 11512, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        the one describes what it is
      • 2007-04-25 11518, 2007

      • drsaunde
        soundtracks can be compilations or albums...or even live
      • 2007-04-25 11519, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        the other describes the CONTENT of what it is
      • 2007-04-25 11521, 2007

      • drsaunde
        or even EP
      • 2007-04-25 11524, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        I thought about that
      • 2007-04-25 11538, 2007

      • cooperaa
        what we need is to be able to apply multiple attributes to each release, but we cannot
      • 2007-04-25 11544, 2007

      • cooperaa
        so we pick the most appropriate
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • drsaunde
        the best way and the plan will be to be able to select all that apply and I know thats in the works for the future
      • 2007-04-25 11554, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        but it's pretty much a given that a soundtrack is either a compilation, or an album specificially written to be a soundtrack
      • 2007-04-25 11503, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        exactly
      • 2007-04-25 11514, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        my definition at least gives some consistancy for the moment
      • 2007-04-25 11540, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        in the future they can always be "corrected" to add in the additional aspects then allowed
      • 2007-04-25 11549, 2007

      • drsaunde
        i disagree...for a release with all tracks live...most everyone familiar with the database will look for these under live
      • 2007-04-25 11514, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        but you're again making a judgement call
      • 2007-04-25 11518, 2007

      • cooperaa
        I don't think so
      • 2007-04-25 11525, 2007

      • cooperaa
        would you label it if you could?
      • 2007-04-25 11527, 2007

      • cooperaa
        label it live?
      • 2007-04-25 11537, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        you said the presence of 5 tracks from a studio overrode the 15 tracks that were live
      • 2007-04-25 11542, 2007

      • cooperaa
        if its a live release, it doesn't matter at the moment if its a compilation too
      • 2007-04-25 11547, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        where is the cutoff?
      • 2007-04-25 11500, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        all I know is,
      • 2007-04-25 11504, 2007

      • cooperaa
        if they aren't bonus tracks then its a comp
      • 2007-04-25 11507, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        on any bootleg reference site I go to,
      • 2007-04-25 11507, 2007

      • cooperaa
        if they are bonus its live
      • 2007-04-25 11515, 2007

      • drsaunde
        1/2 +1...its supposed to be the majority
      • 2007-04-25 11516, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        you get three groups.
      • 2007-04-25 11528, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        single concert, dual concert, compilation
      • 2007-04-25 11537, 2007

      • cooperaa
        okay I understand you
      • 2007-04-25 11549, 2007

      • cooperaa
        so what we need to be able to do is say "X is a Live Compilation"
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • cooperaa
        but we can't
      • 2007-04-25 11555, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        drsaunde: then how is 15/5 compilation? it's not 1/2 +1...
      • 2007-04-25 11513, 2007

      • drsaunde
        i would classify that as live...as the majority of the tracks are so
      • 2007-04-25 11528, 2007

      • drsaunde
        that is directly from the official wiki
      • 2007-04-25 11530, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        cooperaa: exactly, hence why I have a fudged definition to at least make SOME sense of it for the moment
      • 2007-04-25 11536, 2007

      • cooperaa
        I don't think majority is a good way to do this
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • cooperaa
        what if a band plays very very long songs?
      • 2007-04-25 11511, 2007

      • drsaunde
        like the Allmans
      • 2007-04-25 11513, 2007

      • cooperaa
        and they have a single-track EP that is 40 minutes long, but has two live tracks tagged on the end that are each 4 mins long for bonus material
      • 2007-04-25 11541, 2007

      • cooperaa
        I don't think you could argue that is a live release if the band intended it to be an album or ep
      • 2007-04-25 11558, 2007

      • cooperaa
        (obviously I meant three track EP, with one track that is 40 mins :) )
      • 2007-04-25 11508, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        drsaunde:
      • 2007-04-25 11511, 2007

      • drsaunde
        point taken..but in that case...the majority of the material is still EP
      • 2007-04-25 11519, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        wasn't ignoring you, was looking back through the log a sec
      • 2007-04-25 11521, 2007

      • cooperaa
        fair enough
      • 2007-04-25 11528, 2007

      • cooperaa
        :)
      • 2007-04-25 11542, 2007

      • cooperaa
        okay well, that's enough debating for one night :)
      • 2007-04-25 11551, 2007

      • drsaunde
        agreed...sleepy time
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • cooperaa
        gotta get up for work tomorrow and I want to squeeze some South Park in before sleep
      • 2007-04-25 11553, 2007

      • BrianFreud
        drsaunde: you just said 15/5 you could call live. I looked back and found cooperaa's answer to the same question...
      • 2007-04-25 11555, 2007

      • BrianFreud
