sound.and.vision: it seems like IA is accepting logins. i wonder why CAA is still read only

i'm doing some scans of my cds for CAA (prepping for when we can upload again) - what should the type be for the inside of gatefold packaging? i've struggled to find a good example

(front/back/spine are pretty clear, but i've not had much luck finding examples for the "inside" part - i've seen "tray" which feels wrong, i've seen "other", none of it feels conclusive)

<duckfromdisc[m]> "sound.and.vision: it seems..." <- We are waiting for an official announcement, hopefully it shouldn’t be long 🤞 We also have to update our logins.

> please note that services may have limited availability as we continue maintenance

That is their latest update.

Just tried to login…

yeah i cant log in to Archive.org either

bit confused as to why Harmony set the release group and title to "Give Up! I Want to Be Reincarnated" and not "GIVE UP 今世 壊" which is what the other release group uses, and the one used in the cover art

which one should i go with? the latter?

^talking about this song

Looks like maybe it's what the API returned?

(also what things like Tidal use)

That said, using the cover one seems fine to me - just make sure you do the same for the tracks too then

oh, okay, thanks reosarevok[m]

it would belong to a different release group as well, right?

Different from what? :) If the content is the same and only the title varies, that's the same release group for sure

But I haven't checked what else is there

reosarevok[m] i was talking about the song I linked and this - https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/694f5f12-...

DYES usually makes a song for someone along with a vocaloid version; should the song I linked be in its own release group?

Oh, I'm not sure regarding vocaloid versions. I wonder who would know better, kepstin?

kinda hard to say - the vocaloid bit is imo a distraction here - it's basically the same as a song released by some artist (with credit to the artist + producer), and then the producer also releases a self-cover.

I'd say separate release group would make sense

bro got summoned 😭

aight, thanks

oh, also, Harmony added DYES IWASAKI as the label for the song; is this correct? how do i check?

for independently released stuff, we generally prefer to use the special label "[no label]" rather than make a label with the artist's name

(often we do make labels for japanese doujin circles tho, since they do sometimes act similarly)

huh, i forgot about the behaviour of the matrix-irc bridge. matrix users don't show up as connected on the irc side if they haven't written any message recently. so when they respond to something, you'll sometimes get that "connected and immediately replied to a message" thing that looks a bit odd :)

rest assured that i was not summoned out of the ether, but have actually been here all along :)

kepstin: but it's funnier this way 😂
