        I want to re-analyze files already tagged by MBP. Is it possible to add the folder without MBP trying to automatically analyze everything?
      • It's completely bogging down the machine and will take seemingly HOURS to go through ~1,700 songs.
      • Even working with smaller datasets, MBP seems to run quite slowly...problem running on Windows?

        Hi! I have some albums who don’t have a cover in the CAA yet, but they are not in condition. Do you think I should still try to add them?
      • Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’ve just started contributing ^^.
      • xplt
        Sylvhem: Having even a bad cover art is better than have none: it still could be useful for identifying things by others. And if someone will be able to upload an image with better quality, they will be able to delete your "bad" uploads, so do it!
      • Sylvhem
        OK, thank you xplt :).
      • I have another question. For things like that album [https://3d63.bandcamp.com/album/electric-pawer], the digital version and the self-printed CD edition should count as two seperate releases, right?
      • xplt
        yes
      • But they will share the same Release Group
      • Sylvhem
        That’s what I thought. Thank you!

      • do you guys think it'd be appropriate to move the (2020 remaster) to recording disambiguation?
      • it's a bit cluttered

        Lotheric: generally "remaster" isn't a different recording though..
      • (so recordings should be merged)
      • Lotheric
        ok so just remove them ?
      • the title already says it's a remaster
      • Sylvhem
        Hmm, a digital release I have includes an animated variant of the album’s cover. Do you know if I should upload it to the CAA?
      • MIRKOsTIRKO has quit
      • xplt has quit
      • Lotheric
        Sylvhem: sure if it's one of the format allowed by CAA
      • Sylvhem
        OK, thank you!
      • Lotheric
        you can also upload PDF booklets
      • Sylvhem
        This one didn’t have a booklet.
      • But I have an album in slim jewel case that only has a single sheet of paper in it. The front art is obviously of type “Front”, but what type should I use for the back of this? It’s not the back of the packaging. Should I still use “Back”?
      • Zastai
        Lotheric: if the info is indeed relevant (i.e. it is a different recording), then the info should be in the recording disambiguation. If it's just a remaster, then the recording is the same. Either way, it does not belong in the recording title
      • Lotheric
        it's certainly not part of the track title, it's just extra info
      • I guess I'll just remove them altogether
      • Zastai
        Lotheric: but for the track titles: a) it should always be in (parens) (some tracks have it in [square brackets]), b) I think it should be lowercase, so "remaster" not "Remaster", and c) it should be there only if it's listed on the release's track list (even if it's "cluttered")
      • Lotheric
        I did not add the release originally, I'm just fixing it, it's on my todo ;)
      • Zastai
        hey I'm not saying "do this nao!", just giving my opinion on what you asked :)

        Sylvhem: i'd call the inside of the piece of paper "booklet"
      • since that's the closest to what it would be in a release with multiple pages
      • imo it would only be back if it's readable through the back of the case when the disk is inside and it's closed, which i assume isn't the case here :)
      • Sylvhem
        Thank you kepstin! I’ll try that :).

        does stuff like a credit card -format usb stick count as a digital release?
      • I vaguely remember seeing something like that being a thing
      • also releases where you get a physical "cover" but it only has a download code inside
      • grxml0c
        i dont see why not?
      • the download code should be considered a digital release
      • Yaniel
        what about the USB memory
      • Zastai
        well i would call a usb stick a physical release - there is even a "USB Flash Drive" in the medium list
      • Yaniel
        ah
      • grxml0c
        yeah, what @zastai siad
      • *said
      • Zastai
        the download code is trickier. it is kinda sorta physical
      • but also not
      • grxml0c
        i mean you are getting a "physical copy" per-say
      • just with a code instead of an actual physical CD
      • Zastai
        but the physical copy is not a medium for the audio content
      • so i guess for MB that counts as digital media
      • but, it might warrant a separate release in the db, with an annotation about the physical cover and D/L code, with possible scans
      • as opposed to the pure digital release for the one on itunes & co
      • Yaniel
        Lotheric: ^ so yes, I'd say a digital release can be "manufactured for"
      • Zastai
        (or, they are contractually obliged to retain those rights statements from the original 1995 release)
      • grxml0c
        man ive missed irc chat so much
      • Yaniel
        I have seen a case being mentioned where some artist chose to distribute only paper covers / sleeves with a download code, meant as an environmentalist statement
      • rdswift
        Not to mention that it's a lot cheaper to produce. ;-)
