If anyone has a Spotify account, it would be cool if you would submit https://d.ontun.es/?entity=album&id=5kHHjd5...

I think I've found a regression in Picard, I have a release that has forward slashes being interpreted literally on save. Either a regression or a bug, bad in either case.

All of the details in https://gist.github.com/VxJasonxV/25a2ffad9f082... should be relevant. Note the first two lines, release ID and image link with my current Preferences.

Perhaps I need to enable "Windows compatibility"?

The behavior seems slightly undesireable in any case

VxJasonxV: Good catch. That's an issue of the "replace non ASCII" function turning ／ into a ASCII slash. I'll see to get this fixed. But in your case you'd probably want to disable the "replace non-ascii" option anyway, doesn't really give you any useful filenames with Japanese script

<VxJasonxV "If anyone has a Spotify account,"> someone already did ;D

could I ask you guys to take a look at this edits?

I'd like to set cover arts on RG but I can't as I missclicked and now have to wait a week for merge

I don't know what I did with my Spotify account, I don't think I would have deleted it (assuming that's even possible)

can I make release which will belong to 2 RGs?

JuniorJPDJ: no, which problem do you try to resolve?

i've 2 problems which it will solve:

1. I've a 2CD digipack consising of 2 albums, on digital sources those are separate albums

2. I've 2 deluxe edition albums with additional CD (in the same jewel), both of those additional CDs are the same EP album

JuniorJPDJ: A 2CD digipak consisting of 2 albums is a separate release and release group from the 2 separate albums. That makes 3 releases and RGs.

well, it makes some sense to me

But you can use existing mediums from other releases when adding a new release

See https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Release_Group... and https://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Add_a_Releas...

thank you very much ;)

I think this was a digital release updated in-place by changing the name/account name on bandcamp

which is something that we have no guidelines on how to handle afaik

Actually, a "withdrawn" release status really would make sense to have in several cases that I know of. It would indicate a release that was officially available, but then removed from sale at the request of artist or rightsholder (rather than, for example, simply going out of print)

seems reasonable?

https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-1885 - I'd appreciate feedback on this :)

It's kind of a compromise proposal, but I hope that it would be considered an improvement for this situation.

there's some canonical examples of "withdrawn" which unfortunately I'm spacing on right now

but I've come across them before..

oh, "the black album" by prince

is the big one.

hrm, though that was withdrawn after promo and before release...

(which is very, very common)

The first Body Count Album with the Cop Killer song

was withdrawn

that's weird though, chaban was usually in the cannel all the time before

hehe kepstin : voted and followed

in his case.. I think we definialy need ot add < new release with the right name, change the artist name and RG's (and maybe eve nrecordings?) to the new name

but yea. as unfortiunatly as it is the truth *was* that it was released with a deadname

i really like kepsins idea

kepstin: cna you make a topic on the cforum? (i woudl but i ah, can't acces becasue browsers and stuff :()

chaban: if you're reading this, while i strongly disagree with brigadeering, I would suggest you reword sentences like "It would sadden me if MusicBrainz were to succumb to ideology and deny past events based on feelings." to not sound so insensitive

these are not "feelings", it matters to people A LOT

terms like "succumb to ideology" does not belong in mb

I agree that past information must be maintained

but that is inflamatory language

Freso: ˆˆ^this seems like it could blow up into a flame war unles kept an eye on

what should I do if my 2CD release consits of Bootleg + EP? How to mark this release group?

EP + Bootleg

was the EP CD released separately ?

as far as I know - no

2CDs in release: Album (bootleg) and EP
