so, for the purposes of MB (and Discogs) they're not "the same" but they have the same music on them.

Where do you see that it's a different pressing?

CatQuest: yeah, the number of tracks criterion for EP vs single vs. album seems fuzzy to me. but in the world of dance music releases that I mostly tag, almost everything is an EP unless it's a single (named after a contained track, multiple versions of that track on it, etc.)

Hello
2022-05-27 14701, 2022
Lucasz10
I've been making a web-app with the last.fm api, and it only shows track MBID's and not release MBID's.
2022-05-27 14759, 2022
Lucasz10
Is there any way I can make an api call to musicbrainz/coverartarchive with the track MBID to get the cover art of a release?

Lucasz10: yes (though I am not an API expert). The problem you are likely to run into is that one recording may be on multiple releases.
2022-05-27 14754, 2022
crism
I understand the devs hang out in #metabrainz and you may get better answers there.

kepstin
Lucasz10: note that last.fm has flopped back and forth on returning track vs. recording mbids in that field, and *unless* you submit a track mbid with every scrobble, the mbids returned are wrong more often than right :/
2022-05-27 14746, 2022
Lucasz10
kepstin: that's unfortunate
2022-05-27 14740, 2022
Lucasz10
crism: I'll try asking around in there then
2022-05-27 14745, 2022
kepstin
Lucasz10: i'd probably recommend trying it as a track mbid, browse using /ws/2/release?track=MBID&inc=release-groups and then use the release group to get the cover art.
2022-05-27 14727, 2022
kepstin
if that doesn't work (not found) it might be a recording id, in which case it's a bit more of a mess. You can do a release browse with /ws/2/release?recording=MBID but then you have to match the album name to find the release yourself.
2022-05-27 14743, 2022
kepstin
so using a search query might be better there, hmm.
2022-05-27 14748, 2022

(alternatively import into lb and do it via there :D)
2022-05-27 14755, 2022

idk what your last.fm use case is though
2022-05-27 14715, 2022
Lucasz10
CatQuest: I'm making an auto-generating blog that put's my most listened to songs into a nice layout. Last.fm doesn't show album covers half of the time though, so I'm using MusicBrainz to get the album art
2022-05-27 14727, 2022
kepstin
you could import your data into listenbrainz and then pull from that instead :)
2022-05-27 14735, 2022
kepstin
but i suppose that still doesn't really help with the cover art matching.
2022-05-27 14736, 2022
kepstin
honestly, there's probably less cover art in musicbrainz/caa than in last.fm, tho it might vary depending on music genre
Maybe of interest to people here: I wrote a small tool that generates Atom feeds (similar to RSS feeds) for artists releases on Spotify and Bandcamp (more platforms may be added relatively simple, if you have requests): https://releasefeed.elomatreb.eu/

The cover art uploader says that it supports allmusic, but when I go to the cover art tab that isn't an option.
2022-05-27 14743, 2022
PelvicSorcery
Am I missing something?
2022-05-27 14747, 2022
CatQuest
... what?
2022-05-27 14759, 2022
CatQuest
that must be a script
2022-05-27 14738, 2022
CatQuest
anyway just either paste the url i gave you or dl it and upload it oldfashionedly
2022-05-27 14729, 2022
PelvicSorcery
allmusic doesn't want to give me the url, hence why I was attempting to use the script.
2022-05-27 14750, 2022
PelvicSorcery
I think it's because when I tried to add allmusic to the release it yelled at me that it should be on the release group.

Any ideas why allmusic cover import isn't working?

elomatreb[m]
PelvicSorcery: which script are you using?
2022-05-27 14747, 2022
PelvicSorcery
The cover art importer script. AFAIK there's only one.
Looking through the code, it seems weird to me that this should have worked at all, since it has a regex that doesn't match any of the allmusic URLs I can see
2022-05-27 14740, 2022
PelvicSorcery
It doesn't even show a button for me. But it says allmusic is supported in the list of hosts.
2022-05-27 14743, 2022
elomatreb[m]
that would be consistent with it rejecting the URL. I tried it by pasting the URL into the textbox
