Hi, I'm adding a spotify release of an album originally released in CD in 1982 (that release is already in MB). In spotify, the release year is said to be 1982, should I use that? or just leave it empty? (since I don't know when the album was released in Spotify)

CatQuest

If iTunes or some other digital place has a date that seems legit, you could use that

Reminder: MusicBrainz will be down temporarily today at 17 UTC for our schema change upgrade! It can take some time to backup and vacuum the database, but we hope to only be down for about an hour or so, starting with some read-only time before going fully down. Thank you for your patience!
I think it is obvious that the *digital release* cannot be purchased at the URL in question, as the URL in question links to the *vinyl release* and it seems that the editor in question does not understand this distinction. Or, I suppose, I am wrong and it's appropriate to add a relationship for the vinyl release to the digital release?

In any case, I feel like if I remove it again it will come across as "edit warring" so I welcome opinions/involvement.

2022-05-16 13614, 2022
CatQuest
no. vinyl url shoudl go to vinyl release
2022-05-16 13650, 2022
derwin
this seems very obvious to me, but apparently not to the other editor in this case.
2022-05-16 13600, 2022
CatQuest
so i'd say add the vinyl release and add/move the url to there and then
2022-05-16 13620, 2022
derwin
yeah, I suppose that's a way to make the point without it seeming confrontational or edit-warry

I left a comment but I'd agree with CatQuest's suggestion, if you can be bother

bleh, the bug where matches-artist-and-track-title-but-blank-length produces no results for recordings.
2022-05-16 13613, 2022
derwin
blank length is not wrong length, it's blank length...

Was there a ticket? That seems sensible, although all that code is some weird black magic to me
2022-05-16 13654, 2022
CatQuest
for trackparser?
2022-05-16 13614, 2022
derwin
I did submit a ticket on the topic back in the day, yeah.
2022-05-16 13633, 2022
derwin
I feel like I remember it being improved, but apparently not.
2022-05-16 13632, 2022
derwin
is there a report "digital releases with 'purchase for mail order' relationship" ?
2022-05-16 13659, 2022
CatQuest
.. i think ther is actually
2022-05-16 13602, 2022
reosarevok
No, because that has always seemed a lot less common than the alternative
