        That's the reason that proposal stalled in committee. I struggled to write guidelines to define how it is to be used.

      • CallerNo6
        yeah, I thought maybe you had some notes on what a "recording director" is.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_audiogra… has a description that might apply
      • 2015-02-07 03811, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        specifically, "In the early days of the Hollywood studio system, every studio had a sound director (SD)[8] or a recording director (RD), who headed the sound department and took sole credit for the work done by a large crew of sound technicians. "
      • 2015-02-07 03855, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Yeah, that one's kinda hard, at least for me

        Quick question: I downloaded the chromaprint source code, got all the dependencies installed, and tried to compile the example fpcalc.c file with gcc and I failed
      • 2015-02-07 03816, 2015

        it failed

        (a couple others too where I'm like "it's probably fine in isolation but will it see more wrong uses than right, like RG official homepage"?)
      • 2015-02-07 03845, 2015

      • chibs
        I downloaded the fpcalc executable file to my linux machine and that works fine
      • 2015-02-07 03810, 2015

      • chibs
        but I want to make the code work so I can integrate it into my application
      • 2015-02-07 03814, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        johtso, so maybe "recorded by" works (based on the wikipedia quote), but add a "suboptimal credit" annotation?
      • 2015-02-07 03829, 2015

        any help would be appreciated again, thanks

        reosarevok, on the misuse of ARs, what about a single page with a "mapping" table?
      • 2015-02-07 03854, 2015

      • reosarevok
        A single page for rels is something I do want
      • 2015-02-07 03835, 2015

      • Freso
        CallerNo6: There was a WikiPage once with translations/mappings from various languages, IIRC.
      • 2015-02-07 03836, 2015

      • reosarevok
        I think nikki also mentioned it recently as desirable
      • 2015-02-07 03842, 2015

      • reosarevok
        It's a mess right now, basically :p
      • 2015-02-07 03850, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        so for positions that don't map well, at least there can be a note saying "no matching rel, use annotation" or whatever.
      • 2015-02-07 03833, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Oh, that's what you meant with mapping

        Yeah

        what about tags for images?
      • 2015-02-07 03803, 2015

        Hmm. The thing with "pseudonym" is that if you're Artist ThisGuy and perform as Artist, I guess that's not a pseudonym

        Although given most of those would be legal name aliases anyway...

        (maybe it's a pseudonym anyway and I'm just being a non-native dunce :p)

        I think Change of name - Sequential. each side of the relationship represents a different stage in the artist's career. " is an important point

        johtso, does the artist perform using his/her legal name? if so, I'd be inclined to enter it as it usually appears, and add the middle name as an alias.

        tho the "sometimes nicksnames" are artist credits in my book

        johtso: It's really on a case-by-case basis whether to expand in the artist name or not.

        CallerNo6: always seems to be credited with the initialised form

        johtso, yeah, then IMO you should enter the artist name unexpanded
      • 2015-02-07 03815, 2015

      • johtso
        cool

        what type of alias is a surname only version of a name, or a version with the first name as an initial?
      • 2015-02-07 03828, 2015

      • johtso
        search hint? artist name?
      • 2015-02-07 03819, 2015

      • Freso
        If they're often credited with and/or use it frequently themselves: artist name
      • 2015-02-07 03830, 2015

      • Freso
        Otherwise, I'd probably go with search hint.
