Jugdish__ is now known as Jugdish

This isn't directly related to musicbrainz since I don't think that a release can contain more than one CD and instead the titles get changed to something like This Album (Disc 1) and This Album (Disc 2) with two release IDs for it. But, if it was to support multi-disc albums, then would it make sense to have a disc artist for such an album?

?

are all the tracks by the same artist?

I don't know. But, I can imagine an album that has Disc 1 as being a regular album disc and then a Disc 2 that has remixes of the stuff on Disc 1 but by different artists. It seems like it would make sense to change the Artist for Disc 2 to Various Artists.

no leave the artist name

as the disc artist

Okay. I wonder if there have ever been any multi-disc releases that had one disc by one artist and the other disc by another. Perhaps something like a split album with two discs.

errorlevel: probably.

errorlevel: there's lots of vinyl releases with one side by one artist and the other by another artist :)

The last stuff on records that I ever had were the little records that were included with kids books that were essentially an etched page that you took out of the book. =)

So, they were a bit before my time.

peculiar.

most of the records i purchase were manufactured this century atleast :)

Well, I don't have a record player, either. So that plays (pun-intended) into it. =)

oh nasty

the one i was thinking of isn't in MB

errorlevel: the release artist can be different from the track artists

Shepard: Yeah, that can be seen on the Various Artist compilations like "Now!" or on soundtracks.

errorlevel: not sure what your question is then :)

hi sen

s l o w

Shepard: Okay. Currently, musicbrainz does a release -> disc relationship, kind of.... One release MBID is a Disc (assuming we are talking about CDs). http://musicbrainz.org/release/a348bc54-eb5a-4f... and http://musicbrainz.org/release/a8fd6b1f-623f-41... are examples of this at work.

Shepard: But what if a release is considered to contain multiple discs rather than just have a disc to release mapping? Would it make sense then to give the disc an artist property as well as give the release an artist property?

Shepard: That's the question I have.

hi shep

now im stuck arguing with the guy who imported that messy german aggro

errorlevel: I'd say yes - we already define that, for example, release type of each disc on a multi-disc release is decided independently.

errorlevel: Having a disc artist would be a logical extension.

Plus, I do have (at least) one release that has three discs where the third disc is by a separate artist.

=) Thanks.

i hate boxed sets taht are just repackaged releases that are sold seperately

just another example of capitalism

Well, no different from compilations, really. It just takes the compiling one level up.
