        Hello, I'm about to install Pickard to finetune my tags. Is it possible to have Artist - Instrument tags?Is it possible to write these tags only and in batch, since most of the tagging is ok and that's the only part I need.

        elr1c: yes, picard can get the instruments. you'll need to enable track and release relationships in Options > Metadata
      • for writing only some tags (performer in this case) you'd need to either unset the tags you don't want written or set tags to the ignore list in options > tags (which will still write them if not in the files, but not overwrite existing values).
      • have a look at the forums, there are several threads about that with more details.
      • also my usual recommendation: don't disable writing the musicbrainz_recordingid and musicbrainz_albumid tag.

        Hi there! This artist https://musicbrainz.org/artist/0a1ab487-9df2-4a... has changed from a group to a solo artist. How can I delete the former members completely? Many thanks for your help.
      • reosarevok
        swizard: you should probably mark the member relationships as "ended" (it seems Simon Detel already is)
      • We do not delete past data completely since it's still relevant to the encyclopedia
      • Normally for this kind of "group to solo" cases we think of them as a several-members group turned into a one-person group, so the easiest option would be to just leave the current lone member as a member
      • Alternatively, I guess it *could* be changed to a Person artist, with the membership relationship also marked as ended, and a new "performs as" relationship for the one person left?
      • That seems messier tho
      • swizard
        many thanks for your quick reply and suggestions.
      • Hopefully I've already marked the other member Steffen Wick as ended?
      • reosarevok
        You did not, you're entering removal edits, which is not the same :)
      • swizard
        However, every time I try to switch the type selection box from group to person it stills reads as group after submitting this change
      • How do I mark S. Wick as ended exactly then?
      • reosarevok
        Yes, MusicBrainz edits get entered into a voting queue: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/0a1ab487-9df2-4a...
      • So the change is pending :)

      • swizard
        ah thank you!
      • reosarevok
        I see you found how to mark it as ended :)
      • swizard
        yes indeed - thank you for your help!
      • reosarevok
        I added a link to the Wikidata page
      • (so, to Wikipedia, effectively)
      • Sorry, I sent a few No votes to duplicate / incorrect edits, can you maybe cancel them? :)
      • So don't cancel that one :)
      • swizard
        thanks for including the Wikidata page!
      • Hopefully I've canceled all duplicate edits now
