Lotheric it's long for "in a" ?

which would be lowercased?

my thoughts exactly

(but then again I'd also lowercase "with" and "from")

hehe

Whats the easiest way to add music videos to track? I'm not sure I understand

It is an attribute of the recording, so you need to edit the recording (make sure it isn't also used by audio only tracks) and check the "video" box.

Not sure I follow. This recording have a youtube music video I want to link to : https://musicbrainz.org/recording/d85070d1-2124...

I noticed a bunch of songs have music videos and I'd want to link them but last time I checked it would have take 20 minutes per video/track lol

You would need to add the "music videos" relationship and create a recording for the music video. Not sure if there is a quick way to do that for a lot of tracks.

So creating a recording just for the music video would be the first step, like this?

Yes, then edit the other recording and add a relationship. Under the "recording" relationships there is one called "music videos" that will you can then link to your new video recording.

Looks good to me.

Thx m8!

Its a little tedious but I'll try to make a couple see if my speed will improve haha

I've been posting to IMVDb for 6 months but none of my edits were reviewed yet, kind of useless and a waste of time 😂

One thing that might speed thing up a bit. Copy the link to the audio recording. Then, when you create the video, you can add the relationship in the other direction right there so you don't have to go back and edit the audio one.

Good idea to check that there isn't a video recording already also, but they aren't that common unless they have been released on DVD or something.

Ohh so smart 😀 thx!!

<Cheezmo "Good idea to check that there is"> yeah that take some times too as there is a lot of relationships for some recordings

is there an easy way to check all music video for an artist?

Looks like it should be possible https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Indexed_Search_Syntax

Got it, I also noticed in "work" this: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/7774134a-d688...

Can I add a youtube link directly to that? or this would imply the linked video is a direct RIP from that CD/DVD?

Read up on "work", a CD/DVD is a release, a work is something different.

okok thx. Yeah MB is quite huge and there is a lot to it 😂

Took me years to figure out the stuff I use, I don't really know much about works, lol.

Hello all. Can an email be used to trigger a seach for an Artist and if the Artist

is found a notification is sent to an Admin?

mmirG: not sure where you're going with that? what's your goal?

If an Artist name needed to be kept out of the db then this would be one way to have that done.

If someone have time the last 2 edits on this page by this person confuses me:

Both have zero votes and closes in 3 days. It's for a concert

mmirG: please reference https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Data_Removal_Policy - if the artist in question meets one of the conditions described for data removal, you should contact musicbrainz (metabrainz) support to discuss the details of that.

I'm asking if this is technically available - not for it to be done.

"currently technically do-able?" would be more accurate

that's not generally desirable, and as far as I know there's been no accepted requests made which required such a system to fulfill. so to my knowledge, such a system does not currently exist.

desirable? in what way? to who? And my question is if it is do-able?

see the data removal policy document that i sent you a link to

there's no technical reason such a system couldn't be built, but it would probably require a well-explained use case to do so, and if you think you have such a case you should contact the support email.

I am asking a question about technical capability. The application of that ability is a differennt question that I'm not asking here.

there's nothing technically that would prevent such a system from being built.

Thanks for your help - I will contact via support email.

as far as i know, it does not currently exist.

if you just want to know for yourself if an artist with a specific name exists, you can easily do that by periodically querying the musicbrainz search api.

this is much more a general case thing - in the very few cases where a removal is necesarry then this could be one semi-automatic way to keep it removed

Sorry for the picture, but would you assume that this is the same recording?

yeah, it's very likely (assuming the song doesn't have any e.g radio edits that occasionally get confused)

Thx, so I won't get screamed at if I merged those two? I'm 99% sure it's the same lol

kepstin: "What, you were expecting me to put something here? Well, I guess I should say hi…" 😂 you got me

yeah, should be fine. most of the time those pop music compilations end up using the same recording

just watch out for the case where there's multiple variations of a recording with close length - sometimes it might have a different one than expected

kepstin, mmirG: I actually raised a similar question a couple of weeks ago… I’d like to have an alert on an artist name to look for duplicates and missed disambiguation. E.g., I’d like to subscribe to all current *and future* Ian Anderson, Ian Andersen, etc.

Can I put both the music video and the lyric video for a recording? Like so:

If they are both official of course...

@crism interesting convergence - same basic process would allow for both uses. I wonder if there are other uses too.

<kepstin "yeah, should be fine. most of th"> While merging I also notice they both share the same AcoustID 😛
