Back with another question. :)

Leo Moracchioli creates metal covers of songs that he releases as albums.  He also performs them live with his band Frog Leap.  I have been merging the Frog Leap items under the Leo items because the albums are solo released.  That said, whoever created the Leo releases listed No Label while the person who created the Frog Leap releases put

FrogLeapStudios, which is the name of Leo's studio.

How do I tell which is correct?  Currently MB has both due to the merge.

PelvicSorcery: the question is whether these releases are actually sold under the FrogLeapStudios label, if it's an actual label (e.g., distributed by this label or its logo on the spine or similar)

if this was imported from Discogs, it could be that releases there were incorretly aattributed to that as a label, in absence of any real label. on Discogs, studios/locations are technically label entities.

(this is a quirk of the database design, but it does make it easy to use these entities for the wrong purpose)

duncan This is the purchase link directly from the artist.  I'm not sure how it's handled in other digital stores.  https://frogleapstudios.dpdcart.com/product/152797

I'm also not sure how the MB entries were originally created.

duncan Did you see the link I provided?  Not sure if that helps determine if there's an actual label.

ROpdebee, mb_enhanced_cover_art_uploads isn't working for me on beta

known issue?

https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/29eea15b-e... (using tampermonkey/opera combo)

it seems to work if I disable tampermonkey and try it in Violentmonkey though

weird

must be something in Opera.. it seems to work with vivaldi+tampermonkey

sswitching all my scripts to violentmonkey, think I'll try it for a while and dump tampermonkey

Hi, new to contributing to MusicBrainz. I'm wanting to work on adding cover art. I'm reading User:Nikki/CAA, and I'm understanding I'm allowed to grab the images from SoundCloud, Discogs, and other sites?

Hi Binzy

images aren't hosted by MusicBrainz but by the Internet Archive (they'll deal with potential copyright issues)

so yeah you can upload images from different sources on the internet and upload them to the cover art archive

Sounds good, thanks

some more infos here

if you know how to use scripts

enhanced cover art upload is pretty awesome

 Anyone able to comment on my label question regarding this release?  https://musicbrainz.org/release/b0d95140-02a8-4...

Here is the purchase site of the artist.  https://frogleapstudios.dpdcart.com/product/152797

I'd be inclined to say [no label]

but I don't know the artist very well

I saw a couple of cover of his on youtube though... they are excellent :)

What makes you say no label?

frogleapstudios is a studio

so a place

Okay.  I'll go ahead and remove it then.

Thanks.

maybe it is also a label but in doubt, leave it blank

he has a patron for ppl to support him

~patreon

and he sells himself lossless copies of his music

all of this tells me he *probably* doesn't have a label

maybe CatQuest can help as a norwegian

apologies for asking the same question again, but how would I go about putting something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRd_EcnpTcc ) into MB?

an (official) youtube-only demo session

I'd do it as a standalone recording: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Standalone_Recording. If it was issued e.g. on Bandcamp I'd be tempted to add it as a single.
