        Hey guys. Curious..... what is the best way to mark a "project". Should it be set to "other"?
      • 2014-09-10 25315, 2014

      • worm_
        and I mean project as in an artist(s) not a release

        we treat "projects" pretty much as performance names most of the time, I think

        ok, so if it's only one main person in a project, then it should be set to "person"?
