huh, just tried using the listenbrainz zip export (which worked fine) but resulted in a *huge* (117MB) file.. because it does no compression (`store` mode)

making a zip with compression takes it down to 8.7MB

... is that intentional? seems like doing at least some level of compression would definitely save space

compressing bunch of text files does not take much processing power too

looks like this is just the default of the python library for creating zip files that processes these background jobs

Hi Brainz, I noticed that the recordings attributed to [Elite Force](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/9d39d007-da… (Simon Shackleton) are a complete mess, tons of remasters and different masterings listed as individual recordings. I would like to do a little cleanup, but I need some advice first.

Here's Sk8r for example, they're all the same track but have different lengths. They're not really remixes, just different lengths is all.

Should all of these be merged then?

Hey there, I'm getting a 404 "Similar-to user not found" on /1/user/(user_name)/similar-to/(other_user_name). Even though both usernames are correct (and the same link worked for me before)
