Hello, I have a release in which some track titles have the second name in another language that is wrtitten below the main title and is generally smaller. Should I skip it when adding a release or separate it from the main title with / ?

treew: Can you please give a link to where the information is at? That way, the question will be clearer.

c1e0: I read it from the CD cover so I cannot provide you direct source.

Lotheric: Sounds like a terrible online form then. :) I've begun using … (ellipsis), ‐ (hyphen), – (n-dash), and — (m-dash) almost everywhere, and sometimes I'll even also do ‘’“” too.

Generally, names in other languages can be added in "Aliases" tab.

treew: If both are listed on the cover, you can either just use the most prominent one or optionally use "Prominent or Primary Name (Translated Name)".

In both cases you can either use aliases to record the title in various other languages, and/or (if track titles also have translated names) create Pseudo Releases for/with the translated track titles.

The publisher's website mentions only primary title.

Then probably go with that and put the other name in an alias.

treew: You can take a look at this (https://musicbrainz.org/work/9889d7e5-7d6b-45c3...) to see a sample work with an alias, in case you're not sure of what I mean. Aliases can be added to recordings as well.

c1e0: Right, I'm going to add them then.

Thank you all

treew :) :)

and the award for most ungoogleable cover art goes to...

Yaniel : I see cover art here: https://www.amazon.co.jp/BEST-1000-WANDS/dp/B00...

yes I found that

didn't think it through at first, however

and got quite different results in the ddg image search

Yaniel : For a cover, it looks kinda weird to me. I'm trying to avoid using the word "ugly". :D :) It's a weird cover, I must say. Covers, in plural, because there's both front and back, and they're both weird.

yes they are ugly

publishers aren't exactly known to have great artistic vision when it comes to making compilations of old stuff

Yaniel: I took one look at them and wondered whether they were whipped up by a 10 year old in 1 minute. Hell, one minute is too generous. It was probably made in 30 seconds. Lol

the best part is that the publisher apparently made an entire series with essentially the same covers

just a lil palette swap

Yaniel: Hahaha. I just searched and found it (https://www.amazon.co.jp/BEST-1000-Mi-Ke/dp/B00...) This one is in pink.

Blue for boys, pink for girls. Gender stereotypes in action.

hi

Hi, sushant_nagi :)

I submitted my task at GCI]

Whosoever are the mentors please approve it...

cle0 and Yaniel: that cover for mamazon cna also be gogole image'd to see if yo ufind better ones or evne other sites with more information

As only 4 days are left for the competition to end, and I need to claim other tasks as well

Bob Swift

Leo Verto

Andrew

Nicolas Tamargo any of you here ?

.help

sushant_nagi: there are very many studnets doing a last week rush of tasks. we mentors also have hother life obligations (for example I need ot make myself dinner. i ahvnet eaten in hours)

ok sorry

no worry :)

just be patient

ok

sushant_nagi With many students claiming tasks, mentors can't be as fast as you like. Sorry. You're probably new to this. If you have been doing this for some time, you would have been accustomed to waiting already. :D

we're also sorry that you're waiting. I mean we *want* to help yo uasap, but well. there are hournderds of studnets that want help asap :D

CatQuest: I understand. I can only imagine how hard you mentors have it.

it's.. stressful :D

but hoenstly much better this year than last

overal quality of student work has gone up!

to butt in with something completely different, is there an actual process for proposals? e.g. I just spotted https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Podcast but that last saw any action in 2011…

oh you' want ot talk to reosarevok about that i think

there is a an actual process for proposals but uhh.. i need ot eat rightnow ~___~

enjoy your dinner(?)

CatQuest: You mentioned 'eat' and that made me feel like eating as well. Hunger must be contagious? Lol

I did see https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Proposals but that seems to be dealing with small changes only

.exit

/, not .

dominikh: you should probably put together a basic text (that one is probably too old? so it might at least need updating) and open a conversation on the forums

Eventually I need to take some sort of a decision about these things, but first I need to know what people want because I never listen to podcasts, so I have absolutely no idea :D

heh. I was hoping for an on-going, detailed discussion on the topic that would soon find a conclusion and tell me what to do; not to spearhead my own proposal :P

Well, maybe there's a discussion about it on the forum somewhere

There's https://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Specific... which might be applicable to some degree to some podcasts maybe

seems good enough.

I always feel very self conscious about adding something to MB when virtually nobody else has added things of the same kind.
