weird that "change artist credit" downstream edits aren't auto-edits for autoeditors...

derwin: those can't easily be undone, that's why

(I mean, they can if you are changing to a credit that doesn't already exist, I guess, but in general)

ah, in my case I was changing a ' into a character-I-can't-be-arsed-to-figure-out-how-to-type-into-my-terminal

hi, I'm adding https://www.discogs.com/release/10546665-Malcol... to MB. Since we don't have sections, should I add "[from <movie name>]" at the end of every track name? add "from <movie name>" to the recordings' disambiguation texts? (I tend towards this option, but I don't think that's nice either) or what's the recommended way to do this?

good question, which I don't know the answet to

reosarevok: ^ ?

I'd just start every track with the film name, like Trapeze: Prelude, etc, but I'm used to classical style so that looks good to me. It might look terrible to you :D

I'd do what reosarevok said, but only for tracks 15 to 23, as track 14 is already called "... from The Sound Barrier" in the printed tracklist

hmm, nice, I like that idea

kellnerd: if you look at the back covert in https://i.discogs.com/sqoGD8f8_5Wi0KHtiR2k0Aj72... I'd say that's in a different typography, so it looks as a description and not part of the track name (like "[arr. Malcolm Arnold]" at tracks 21 and 23 which use the same typography)

so I'd say it's ok to name track 14 as: "The Sound Barrier: Rhapsody for Orchestra Op. 38"

in fact, I searched "rhapsody for orchestra op 38" in google and the first result is a youtube video called "The Sound Barrier: Rhapsody For Orchestra, Op. 38" hehe

Yeah, I would not copy that verbatim, rather as ETI... but I think subtitle style as for the following tracks is also ok.

I'm sorry, what do you mean by ETI?

ah, thanks :)

i.e. "Rhapsody For Orchestra, Op. 38 (from The SOund Barrier)"

*Sound

btw, I thought those kind of extra information should use square brackets [] and not regular brackets ()

ETI is always parenthesis, we're not iTunes :)

Yeah, personally I also prefer square brackets and have a Picard tagger script to replace them. But the style guidelines say to use regular rounded brackets :)

yeah, I also have a picard plugin/file naming script to put disambiguation texts and extra info inside square brackets :)

maybe that's why I'm used to see that and I thought it was the standard

is there an issue with submitting acoustid fingerprints from picard? I've been submitting new fingerprints for tracks for a few days now, but when I go back and check them, they still aren't associated with the musicbrainz tracks.

I'm on version 2.8.3

Sometimes the acoustid servers get stuck, but your submission sits in a queue and (usually) won't be lost

is there a webpage that tracks acoustid outages/issues?

Not that I know of. AcoustID is not run by metabrainz directly, so you can't even complain to the operators here, sorry

It has a statistics page at https://acoustid.org/stats, which you can use to spot longer outages

Currently it looks like it is processing new tracks, but it might still take a while

elomatreb[m]: thanks! I'm used to them taking a few hours to a day, but not several days
