        well, no reason to throw code away when you can fix it to not do bad things when the tracklist is in a different format though
      • 2014-05-31 15119, 2014

      • JonnyJD_
        but when the tracklist is only in the review section, it often is not of high quality

        this way you still have your own version of the repo and they are connected. as in: you can prepare stuff in your repo and make a PR to the official one

        Man, special-purpose artists really throw things for a loop. Picard wants to add Artist Sort Order tags to this album, and though the track artists are credited "as" things like "Orchestra" and "Chorus", the sort order field replaces those with "[theatre]". :-/
      • 2014-05-31 15133, 2014

      • Mineo guesses you're trying to tag a release or recording using an artist credit from http://beta.musicbrainz.org/artist/a0ef7e1d-44ff-4039-9435-7d5fefdeecc9/aliases

        I don't know where else it would pull from, considering that Picard is specifically designed to interface with MusicBrainz

        Maybe I'm missing something then, is genre considered to be a tag on the site that has to be added, as in the Folksonomy tags

        Oh, I should add, I don't think it's wrong to record the information "these logos appear on the release". I just think that it's also important to record "these entities [did whatever labels do] on this release"
