I'd generally say "no, it's a repress of the same release unless there's more changes"

Imbecile9506: I would say if you think it's important then add a new release. Like if you're trying to track a change in value, or a different manufacturer. Otherwise, nah. Add the matrix to the anotation if anything

there are some CDs which have a radically different CD mastering, these I think might be entitled to a new releases

also Discogs is notorious for adding new pressings (it originates from records where different runouts suggest a different cut), they do group a lot of them together even when the runouts are quite different

ECM do this where post-~1990 they add 5 seconds of silence to every disc

I think the many Discogs pressings are out of laziness by people selling, which is the primary focus of Discogs in 2023, rather than making the database easier to use or improving its data structure

I've been reading some of the discussion and I agree, I've never liked how Discogs can have like 200 releases for one album with 150 of them having their matrix as the only difference, and didn't realized it was because of the trading Discogs has implemented. Will add it to the annotation as the discid matched the already available entry.

if you're buying/selling things, it is actually often pretty relevant

if you're primarily tagging things, much less so

If we ever made a store, I guess we would allow specifically mentioning matrix stuff on the selling posts
2023-01-23 02344, 2023

But it'd still make sense IMO to have the release grouped, anyway
2023-01-23 02331, 2023
duncan
what we need is a way to link matrix numbers to disc IDs
2023-01-23 02356, 2023
duncan
currently we have releases with 40+ disc IDs, there's no way to remove the duff ones except by acquiring all of the discs
2023-01-23 02338, 2023
duncan
linking one or more disc IDs to a given disc ID (which is a proxy for mastering) would improve data quality
2023-01-23 02352, 2023

er, linking one or more matrix numbers to a given disc ID

What we need to do is get rid of pre-NGS discIDs /hides
