I haven't used musicbrainz all that much yet. great service for facts about artists. is it the service to use for genre-lookups as well?

or is that a little out of the scope of MB?
2008-05-18 13920, 2008
FauxFaux
MB specifically does't do genres.

Far too subjective.

by the way, is it apricated to add those Amazon ASIN links?
2008-05-18 13937, 2008
clarby
FauxFaux: But 'tags' could be translated to genre. Any other sites to recommend for that?
2008-05-18 13951, 2008
FauxFaux
clarby: Iirc there's a plugin to pull genres from last.fm's tags.

Ithaqua: the asin links are good :)
2008-05-18 13941, 2008
Ithaqua
its just the artist handeling
2008-05-18 13950, 2008

we get cover art, probably some proof of its existence and a little bit of money if someone buys something from amazon
2008-05-18 13910, 2008

can't expect for example japanese artist to check for double names and suche

drinking heavy beer
2008-05-18 13953, 2008

sure you can only drink so much kahlua and coffee...but its a good way to start the journey

11.6% alcahol for a simple beer... (it's called "canon" for a obvious reason)
2008-05-18 13926, 2008
nikki
Ithaqua: well, while most of the albums people add do exist, there are a number where people have submitted stuff just to tag some files they downloaded and even though you have the CD, other people might not, so if they can look at the amazon link it's more reassuring for them :)
2008-05-18 13941, 2008

hehe... I think it's more that most people are familiar with amazon, for asian stuff I'd be perfectly happy with a yesasia or cdjapan link, but people less familiar with the area might doubt how reliable they are

I was talking to warp the other day about where people here are from... he didn't think there were that many dutch people, but I think there are quite a few given the size of the country, belgium is a similar size and I can only vaguely remember seeing one person here from belgium
2008-05-18 13936, 2008
Ithaqua
hmmm
2008-05-18 13955, 2008

2008-05-18 13921, 2008
