        is this a valid alais edit? (assuming that's the proper kanji or whatever for the name) http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=9490843

        hawke__: no idea. i forget how foreign languages stuff works on MB
      • 2008-10-11 28520, 2008

      • hawke__
        As far as I know, that's fine.
      • 2008-10-11 28542, 2008

      • hawke__
        And it is the correct katakana for that artist, as far as I can tell.

        like i dont know if they have a release as ビータリカ if the artist ビータリカ would have to be created

        It's unusual, to be sure.
      • 2008-10-11 28517, 2008

      • nikki
        their japanese wikipedia page uses that as the title, so I think it's fine to add it as an alias
      • 2008-10-11 28502, 2008

      • nikki
        and the album covers on amazon.co.jp use beatallica, so it doesn't look like it's a completely different artist thing, just a transliteration which is probably included on the obi so the japanese people can read it
      • 2008-10-11 28514, 2008

      • hawke__
        IMO it's always fine to add alternate language versions as an alias -- whether it's helpful is kinda questionable, but it shouldn't hurt.

      • 2008-10-11 28514, 2008

      • BrianG
        i wouldn't tag them in picard anyway, you'll lose the per-track cover art
      • 2008-10-11 28544, 2008

      • SeveredCross
        Well, Rhythmbox/iTunes will later attach the cover art for me.
      • 2008-10-11 28507, 2008

      • BrianG
        i guess if you have each of the track covers saved someplace
      • 2008-10-11 28545, 2008

      • SeveredCross
        I'll just skip Ghosts for now.
