I see where someone edited a track to change “vs.” to “Vs.” Seems like the capitalization-guesser should have a special case to leave “vs.” alone, no?

Adding a new release "Foobar (VIPs)" - it has the same tracklist as "Foobar" plus 2 extra tracks. Should this new release go in Foobar's existing release group, or a new one?

Comparing ISRCs on the releases, they seem to share the same recordings as well

That smells like the same release group, srxl.

I'm thinking new release group, since I'd probably want the "remix of" relationship between these two, and that's a relationship between groups
2022-01-24 02443, 2022

Same release group - that doesn't sound like a remix, just a reissue with bonus tracks
2022-01-24 02400, 2022
reosarevok
Unless all the tracks *are* remixed, but then they should not share ISRCs...
2022-01-24 02409, 2022
srxl
Ahhh, gotcha
2022-01-24 02424, 2022
srxl
They're not - same tracks as on the initial release
2022-01-24 02412, 2022
srxl
Also the label's catalog IDs for the two (MCEP223 for the original, MCEP223-V for the new one with remixes) lend to the "same release group" idea
2022-01-24 02418, 2022
srxl
I'll go with that then, cheers

Is there a way to search for cover art adds with a given comment? 👀
I guess :) I don't think we currently support any edit search based on entity comments / disambiguations

I've never heard of the genre, seems too generic IMV, but let me check the ticket
2022-01-24 02414, 2022
reosarevok
I think the idea is that it *is* a generic
2022-01-24 02412, 2022
atj
Personally I don't think that "hard" is meaningful as a generic term for genres, it's actually a more specific term. The generic part is the word after "hard", e.g. house, trance etc.
2022-01-24 02447, 2022

I don't think you'd add "deep" as a generic genre for "deep house", "deep techno" etc.
won't "automatic" just number them in the order added to mb?

I guess the point is that there's nothing that says that series need to be ordered in release order?
2022-01-24 02413, 2022
ev
I believe automatic is clever to the extent that it orders by barcode + date
2022-01-24 02430, 2022
derwin
oh, if that's the case, ok.
2022-01-24 02447, 2022
derwin
some citation on that would help me feel more comfortable with my "yes" vote
2022-01-24 02454, 2022
ev
otherwise I'd have just left it as-is..
2022-01-24 02427, 2022
ev
I'm not sure how to cite that, e.g. the documentation doesn't mention how it works
2022-01-24 02425, 2022
derwin
ah well, it's non-destructive and not that significant in scope (as the series is not actually ordered) so here's my yes vote
2022-01-24 02428, 2022
derwin
but I remain curious
2022-01-24 02434, 2022
ev
I believe at the very least it's orederd by the barcode, and catalogue number in absense of a difference in date, but I'm not 100% positive on that one
2022-01-24 02431, 2022
ev
thanks for the vote <3

I honestly don't remember. bitmap: do you remember what we sort series on if there's no numbers?
'The Ordering Type Sorts the items in the series automatically by their number attributes, using a natural sort order. You have to select whether the series is ordered automatically or manually.'

Yeah, but I don't remember if it defaults to anything if their numbers are missing :)

ev
oh dear.. did not mean to put an evil face in initial comment there..
2022-01-24 02453, 2022
bitmap
if there are no numbers or numbers are the same it does have some entity-specific rules
2022-01-24 02426, 2022
bitmap
it'll order by relationship date first iirc, and then for releases it'll order by release date, then catalog number. not sure about barcode
for these releases (I believe this may be the Decca catalogue system, or maybe universal), they have two catalogue numbbers, a shortt one, followed by a large one which is the barcode with an extra padding zero
2022-01-24 02447, 2022
ev
it's distinct from the barcode to the extent that they list the short one in bold, immediately followed by the longer one
2022-01-24 02406, 2022
ev
well, not followed by, rather, it's directly below the shorter one
2022-01-24 02433, 2022
ev
I suppose it's probably fine to that extent,
2022-01-24 02453, 2022
ev
I strongly suspect that the three LPs that aren't the sampler were released on the same day ,but I can't find any information either way
2022-01-24 02458, 2022
bitmap
it sounds like they should be ordered correctly in that case
2022-01-24 02411, 2022
bitmap
if not you can just set the number attributes to 1,2,3 etc.
2022-01-24 02449, 2022
bitmap
(most likely the short cat#, not literally 1,2,3. or just revert back to manual ordering)

hmm the WIki says I'm logged in but it keeps popping up login boxes when I try save my edits. My user name and pw don't seem to satisfy it D:

Oh the old add 'NOTSPAM' into both fields thing. Which it didn't tell me because that only comes up on the login page :(

And now I get 'Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 415)' ?

Anyone else getting that? I shouldn't have done so many edits at once on this page, uh oh
