Hi all. I picked up a copy of Grateful Dead Europe '72, the 2022 50th anniversary rerelease. There are two fairly similar entries for it at https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/d716a4c9-f2… but it says "3x digital media" where what I've got is a 2-CD set. Is there some clean way to take all the data from one or the other of those but have it map properly to the two CDs that are

part of the set?

On the release group hit the "add release" button on the right side, then before you go to the tracklist page, visit the "release duplicates" page and you can select the 3x digital media releases and it'll populate the starting track list with that for you to edit

And then paste those tracks into another track parser

Alright. I'll probably give it a try tomorrow and see if I can get it updated to reflect this form.

hmm... i just added this release: https://musicbrainz.org/release/31b0c07e-1a3b-42f… - using 1988 as the release date based on discogs, but the matrix says "#950122LL BG2-8568 L392 MFG BY CINRAM" so i think this cannot be right - i suppose i should just remove the release date?

why can't i find this release on the artist page? https://musicbrainz.org/release/a54c2de9-c715-420… - did check the 'show bootlegs' option and it looks like it should be listed under Album+Compilation, but it's not

oh hang on, it is there, there are just two different Album+Compilation sections. that's confusing

a single that was shared by the artist themselves but never posted to streaming (i.e. posted themselves to group chats), that they then encouraged sharing of, but then ended up cancelling the release of - what would the release status for that be?
i don't know if that would be withdrawn or bootleg

I wouldn’t do bootleg. Maybe add a new bootleg release to the group if there is a very widespread fan repackaging with new artwork, something like that

hey all!! I want to contribute some cover art to musicbrainz in case anything in my music library doesn't already have cover art / high quality cover art. Is there any way to easily see which of the things imported into picard don't currently have cover art available on musicbrainz?

The other thing to keep in mind is that artwork should exactly match the release that you are uploading it to - for instance a digipak CD release should not have the square digital media cover, even if it’s nicer for tagging. For tagging you can use the “release group cover”. Sorry if that’s confusing, just ask if you have any questions!

welcome! hmm if you add all releases you tag with picard to a musicbrainz collection (right click, collections.. you'll need to log-in- how was that done again?)

Oh nice, if you’re tagging releases that are likely to have existing URL relationships to Apple Music/Spotify etc I cannot recommend “Enhanced Cover Art Uploads” script enough. Will grab the max resolution image from the source with a click. You will be breezing through!
oh yeah I see, its offering to install the userscript with violentmonkey
2024-12-01 33630, 2024
aerozol[m]
The main benefit is that you don’t have to browse your files to upload etc. The script is a click and it will load the image into the MB editor. But of course whatever way works for you. If you are dealing with a lot of releases you might want to shave off those seconds, otherwise maybe not!
