aerozol: sometimes people don't. sometimes people do. a lot of imported-from-discogs vinyl releases don't have durations.

that edit just seems wrong, though?

There's a bunch of vinyl releases that are white labels and the only distinguishing feature between the untitled tracks on either side is their duration

It's out of nowhere for me... if MB wants to be the 'ultimate source of music information' then surely we would let someone know if a track is 2min or 20min, format be damned

But, apparently, I've been living under a rock :O

doesnt make sense to me
2022-04-02 09229, 2022
Erin
like, they /have/ times

Erin
it might not be labelled, but they dont go on for all time or no time

of course if the values are "unknown" so be it, but then ... where are those numbers from?

2022-04-02 09219, 2022
Erin

2022-04-02 09224, 2022

yeah. but in the responses someone asserts that vinyl times are unknowable. which just seems plainly wrong to me.

Hi! What release date of a CD release should I enter in the following circumstances: the bandcamp page says "releases May 15, 2022". I pre-ordered the item. It arrived two days ago :D the digital release is also set to the 15th of May and the tracks (except one) are indeed still unavailable online
2022-04-02 09255, 2022
derwin
I would say "May 15, 2022"
2022-04-02 09208, 2022

You have a "pre-release copy" imo.

(yes, it is a little absurd to say that something isn't released when you're holding it in your hand, but... the music industry has a long history of releasing the retail version of albums to journalists and so on, before the release date, or accidentally shipping things to retail that put them out before the official date, etc.)

I guess the latter happened to me, yes. I'm just a normal buyer via bandcamp.
