        yuck. I'd rather see no ETI guideline for recordings.
      • 2013-08-27 23935, 2013

        no offense, I know some people worked hard on getting consensus.

        crap. any way to undo a recording merge?

        you can cancel the edit
      • 2013-08-27 23949, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        but if it's already been applied, then there's no shortcut. you'll need to make a new recording (or recordings) from scratch.
      • 2013-08-27 23900, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        it's already thru

      • th1rtyf0ur
        i can't even tell wtf I did wrong anymore. looks like I made a new one, 'cause a 'live'recording on a bootleg was using the studio recording, but then they got merged.. probably before my 'live' disambiguation note went through. rgh

      • CallerNo6
        but you caught it. cool.
      • 2013-08-27 23915, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        yeah- the live boot was using the same recording as the studio one,so when I added the live stuff to the bootleg, it tagged the wrong recording.
      • 2013-08-27 23927, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        making a new recording for the live boot
      • 2013-08-27 23936, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        still don't know how the hell there's a >6m version of Bye June, though
      • 2013-08-27 23912, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        ..which says it's from a demo tape, which should be the <3m studio version
      • 2013-08-27 23928, 2013

        backwards recordings: "is an edit of"?
      • 2013-08-27 23942, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        (ex: "!aaaH-aH, yawA eM ekaT ot gnimoC er'yehT", b-side of "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!")
      • 2013-08-27 23910, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        (literally the same recording, played backwards) XD

      • drsaunde
        i would call it a "remix" more than an "edit"
      • 2013-08-27 23936, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        hm.. I consider remixing a much more complicated action
      • 2013-08-27 23950, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        usually involves making many cuts & splices, adding new samples, etc.
      • 2013-08-27 23933, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        just playing it backwards seems like more of an edit.
      • 2013-08-27 23941, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        although MB's definition of "edit" seems to be based on shortening the track length
      • 2013-08-27 23946, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        or censoring some parts
      • 2013-08-27 23906, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        "or a shortened, censored, or otherwise edited version of the same material"
      • 2013-08-27 23917, 2013

      • th1rtyf0ur
        ok, 'otherwise edited' then
      • 2013-08-27 23958, 2013

      • drsaunde
        edit implies something was taken away...not necessarily shortened
      • 2013-08-27 23949, 2013

      • drsaunde
        nothing was taken away in this case, but it was re-arranged...not a typical remix but more so than saying something was removed
      • 2013-08-27 23909, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        why did this edit fail? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/23433347

        it's certainly not an audio cd, but we don't have any special type just for those
      • 2013-08-27 23948, 2013

      • nikki
        well, for me it refers to the physical format, which is a cd :P

        anyway, some people have suggested adding a type for cd data stuff, but nobody's proposed it properly afaik
      • 2013-08-27 23913, 2013

      • kepstin-work wouldn't mind having 'Audio CD' and 'CD-ROM' as media types until we figure out something better.

        what happens to the existing cd one? renamed to audio cd and a new cd added?
      • 2013-08-27 23950, 2013

      • Freso
        The two just added as subtypes would be my suggestion.
      • 2013-08-27 23958, 2013

      • nikki
        (I mean, I guess it'd be more correct to add a new audio cd thing, but the amount of data that would need fixing would be terrible)

        Should I use "read by" *always*? And should I use the literal "read by" or the localised version of it?

        Also "Part N" or the localised version used in the MP3 files themself?

        Freso: IIRC it does say something like "use whatever the cover uses for join phrase, and if it uses nothing then 'read by' or its equivalent in the appropriate language"

        (that it might not say but seems reasonable)
