yep. but id don't understand why mb is "way too mainstream, very amateurish level"

I think its the colour scheme that most disliked. I like the colours and always though discogs was too bland

I think that is mostly self perception.

i would expect the biggest gripe would be that mb releases don't map 1:1 with physical ones

outsidecontext: but changing the design and layout will change how people perceive the site, so that could be a way to address such comments.

"but id don't understand why mb is "way too mainstream" I saw the same comment somewhere else yesterday. Although someone else did point out that if you only search MB for mainstream artists, you will only get mainstream music

is this the "i like them before they were popular" crowd?

discogs has really great electronic coverage
2008-04-11 10221, 2008

probably mostly because a lot of people making/releasing the music are entering it there

and because that's what they started off doing

But what I've looked at (and I really haven't looked that electro part too much), when I've tried to look for information on merging some random artists, Discogs often has a couple of random VA tracks and no artist's on releases at all.
