If I find a mistyped track title on an album, does it get fixed on all necessary levels if I fix it on just one place (work/recording/release) or do I have to make several edits for it?

(found a wacky case... the physical album has one version of the track title in the back cover, another in the lyrics booklet, but pretty much every source on the web - including mb, spotify and tidal - use a third version which is definately wrong, probably a copypaste fail by someone who does not understand the language they were dealing with :)

kirvesAxe: if you edit a release's track list then you can check a box that copies the change to the recording. If there's multiple releases you'll have to edit the track lists individually. You'll also have to edit the work separately.

lazybookwyrm[m], thanks :)

I guess I'll do the edits once I have gotten around taking decent photos of the album cover and back cover (the latter one specially as proof about the incorrect name)

is a simple "2 in 1" album(s) rerelease generally considered a compilation, or no?

I thought it was not, but poring over the style guides again, the only specific mention of those is they should be a separate group (duh). but not whether they're compilation secondary or no

Think so, the ones I can remember seeing were compilations

hmm 🫤

depends on the cover/title

I've seen albums reissued with extra tracks from an EP (it's 2 in 1 but kept the album's artwork and title)

something like https://coverartarchive.org/release/9fe9418e-32...

is a compilation

but something like https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/f10f0c8c-3...

is a reissue even if the whole kill at will ep is included as bonus tracks

yay! it's my cake day!!

How many votes do you need for instant song name change that's wrong?

I think it’s 3 votes for any edits to be immediately applied?

Ok nice can you vote this up please?

voted

Thanks maybe it takes a while to update

If your edit receives three unanimous yes votes, it will generally be applied after 1 hour. If it is considered a destructive edit, however, the edit will be applied after 48 hours to allow adequate time for other editors to review.

magnog[m]: at least according to https://flutteringdragon.bandcamp.com/album/ild... it should be "Curtain - cloth". did oyu include a link of where you think it should be "Curtain-Cloth"?

and then back of album cover, looks like it is all lowercase (everything) as "curtain - cloth" (But still with spaces on either side of the dash)

I'll approve the edit (since it's an improvement over the original title so that you can apply another edit to fix the title if you wish to

done

no more waiting :)

Sorry this wasn't my release I was just correcting that track name because I knew it was wrong

You want me to change it all lowercase?
