        hia, i'm trying to add the missing albums for an artist called "Crashing Atlas" (link: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/447b34ab-d639-42... ), but i just wanted to check since i'm new to music brainz: if an artist releases a single track (outside of an album), is that both a release group AND a release, or just a release?

        HewloThere: hewlo.. there
      • HewloThere
        hi
      • darwin
        HewloThere: there is no such thing as a release with no enclosing release group. there *is* a such thing as a "standalone recording" which is a recording without a release. however in most cases, if an artist is releasing a single track outside of an album, it's just a release/release group with type "single"
      • HewloThere
        ok thank you darwin
      • 1 more question
      • i've got a png for some cover art that is for some reason saying unrecognized file, but windows is opening it perfectly fine
      • darwin
        hrm... hard to know what is up in that case
      • HewloThere
      • is it likely a too big file or something?
      • darwin
        there's a tool called "pngcheck"
      • at 10k, probably not too big
      • or you can use imagemagick's "convert" tool to check too
      • HewloThere
        hmmm strange it says this: ".\savages.png this is neither a PNG or JNG image nor a MNG stream"
      • lemme try something real quick
      • ah i used the wrong webp to png executable my bad
      • darwin
        there you go :)
      • HewloThere
        would you be able to take a look at the edit i did to make sure i'm doing it how i should be?
      • darwin
        sure, though I'm not an authority, just an experienced amateur editor :)
      • HewloThere
        that's good enough for me lol
      • gimme 1 sec
      • oh woops i didn't add the length
      • darwin, i added the "Savages" single https://musicbrainz.org/artist/447b34ab-d639-42...
      • but for some reason i can't get rid of the empty digital medium
      • darwin
        HewloThere: hit the red "x" ?
      • HewloThere
        i tried it like 5 times
      • darwin
        weird, works fine for me
      • HewloThere
        when i go through edit it says it will remove it
      • but it still appears in the overview
      • maybe i'll try this weird picard thing
      • reosarevok
        HewloThere: Maybe your edit is open and pending?
      • Check Open edits
      • HewloThere
        oh right
      • didn't know that was a thing my bad
      • reosarevok
        No worries :)
      • HewloThere
        do mods need to approve this or something?
      • reosarevok
        Not mods :) Anyone with more than a few days and a few edits can vote - you can get 3 votes or it will just pass on its own after 7 days otherwise
      • Unless someone actively votes No
      • HewloThere
        ah ok

        I am suddenly being prompted for authorization upon loading albums into Picard, has there been a change?

        lorenzuru: I didn't see that message, what's the problem?
      • lorenzuru
        Can I repost it?

        Sure :) If it's huge put it on pastebin or something, but otherwise
      • lorenzuru
        Sorry guys but I need a little bit of consulting. I'm trying to insert this release (https://www.discogs.com/release/3422358) by Florian Fricke. It is already present in the DB here: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/7d31c330-..., but it is credited to Popol Vuh only and not also to Fricke (this is actually a complete solo album by him published as a Popol Vuh product for obvious reasons). I
      • was going to insert a new release (the original German one) but I'm struggling on how to tag track artists. Release artist should be "Popol Vuh / Florian Fricke" as on the CD cover, right? But what about track artists? Is this considered a classical release and therefore should I put Mozart as a track artist and Fricke as a recording artist? Should I put Popol Vuh as recording artist too?
      • Plus, in following reprints the album was credited to Fricke only (see: https://lightintheattic.net/releases/3962-spiel...), what should I do in this case?
      • reosarevok
        zas, outsidecontext ^ can you help samovar
      • lorenzuru: is this just standard piano playing?
      • lorenzuru
        Yes, a simple piano solo album
      • No effects or synths
      • My confusion is also due to if this is considered or not as a classical release, since Fricke is not strictly a classical artist
      • reosarevok
        I would consider it classical since it's shown as very classicalish in the cover and whatnot
      • samovar
        'Modern Classical'?
      • reosarevok
        Looking at what we have, I'd be tempted to change the artist on that one to "Mozart; Popol Vuh, Florian Fricke" or even to "Mozart; Popol Vuh Florian Fricke" where "Popol Vuh Florian Fricke" only links to the "Florian Fricke" artist

        This release group (https://musicbrainz.org/release/6c812905-1355-4...) is credited to Popol Vuh AND Fricke since it contains both piano solo tracks from Fricke and some remade compositions by Popol Vuh (as described in length in the first comment here: https://www.discogs.com/release/6889847)
      • But I do agree that this Mozart one should be credited to Fricke only
      • As I mentioned in following recordings the album was credited to Fricke only (see https://lightintheattic.net/releases/3962)
      • Plus the original release and the late recording are title as Spielt Mozart, so the release group title should be changed too, right?
      • sublim20 has quit
      • * Plus the original release and the late recording are title as Spielt Mozart, so the release group title should be changed too (to Florian Fricke Spielt Mozart instead of the english title), right?

      • samovar
        Oh!
      • That's what it is, genres.
      • I wanted to figure out a way to overrwrite existing genre tags while still keeping the max @ 3.
      • Glassjoe has quit
      • Because Picard never seemed to be writing many genre tags.
      • Thanks, outsidecontext
      • outsidecontext
        if you have checked "only use my genres" this would trigger the authentication. but it also means you only get any genres if you have tagged the releases with genres yourself on musicbrainz.org

      • lorenzuru
        Seems completely fine, thank you for your time
      • <lorenzuru "As I mentioned in following reco"> Should the release corresponding to this reprint be credited to "Mozart; Florian Fricke" or to the one you picked?

      • reosarevok
        I dunno. Credits are less important than relationships IMO, pick whatever seems best
      • lorenzuru
        Seems reasonable, thank you!
