        hellooo... is this thing on? anyways I just checked the list of work databases (https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Work#External_datab...) and it looks to be quite out of date.

      • just joined and it looks like nothing has happened since august last year... though I logged in with my IRC account and I did propagate there, so good to know things still work.

        quick question; making a new artist entry and I've added a fanbox link to the external links section - what type does it come under? patronage pages?
      • applecuckoo[m]1
        phoenix_05[m]: I guess so? that would make the most sense to me, though I don't edit MusicBrainz that much

        it also makes sense to me, which is why I suggested that, but I wanted some confirmation

        phoenix_05 (@_discord_502736866169061386:chatbrainz.org) without being familiar with that site specifically, it looks like a Patreon-style thing, so it would fit that URL definition pretty exactly
      • phoenix_05[m]
        cool
      • I have a skeb link of the artist as well; but I don't see a type related to commissioning
      • elomatreb[m]
        Is that fanbox site common and does it offer other services besides that Patreon-style funding?
      • We may want to add it to our auto-recognized URL list so that it automatically selects the relationship type
      • skeb is like a marketplace thing?
      • phoenix_05[m]
        I just know it's an art commissioning site; don't much apart from that
      • here's a link I found about it- <https://medium.com/skeb-jp/guide-154f3a80c3b6>;
      • elomatreb[m]
        it sounds like it's mostly for digital drawing? That might be a little out of scope for MB
      • phoenix_05[m]
        i mean, you have to add artists for design/illustration roles..
      • and MB already has pixiv on auto-recog
      • elomatreb[m]
        true
      • I guess the best we have right now is the Patronage relationship, the way its definition is worded doesn't necessarily require recurring payment I guess
      • might be worth a ticket though
      • zer0bitz- has quit
      • @applecuckoo: Is there something specific you're missing from that Work databases page?

      • phoenix_05[m]
        also, does this go under editor or vocals arranger? (although this is a vocaloid song)
      • elomatreb[m]
        unless something specifically credits *arrangement* I think I would go with the more generic "vocal editor"

        there isn't a `vocal editor` type though?
      • elomatreb[m]
        it's an attribute on the plain editor relationship

        elomatreb (@_discord_681477816029675521:chatbrainz.org) the part that lets you specify lead vocals and stuff?
      • vardhan_ joined the channel
      • elomatreb[m]
        yeah
      • for popular music "lead vocals" is usually the right choice
      • phoenix_05[m]
        this recording has three singers; do I just specify lead vocals, then?
      • vardhan has quit
      • elomatreb[m]
        probably yes
      • phoenix_05[m]
        cool, thanks

      • this label says it isn't for use and gives catalog number hints to figure out which branch you use instead - but do digital media releases even have catalog numbers?
      • elomatreb[m]
        yes, but streaming platforms generally don't expose them
      • but e.g. on platforms like Bandcamp they are listed somewhat frequently, and some labels have websites with a catalog where they show the numbers
      • phoenix_05[m]
        I guess that's why the release I'm about to edit has this general label applied instead
      • hmm, also, this release has the dates sorta(?) off
      • spotify lists the song's date as `2004-11-15` but qobuz has it at `2004-11-12` (and both are linked on the release, weirdly enough)
      • I would've thought the earlier date would be prioritized
      • elomatreb[m]
        considering both of those platforms didn't exist in 2004 those dates are slightly suspicious anyway

      • for this release.. <https://musicbrainz.org/release/62472166-795d-4...; the ISRC I got on Deezer was `JPR502204174`, and when I looked up the Spotify ISRC, it was also `JPR502204174`
      • why does the release include both of these while having an ISRC of `JPR502301479`?
      • on a related note, where do I search/confirm an ISRC for a release?
      • elomatreb[m]
        the most common source are online importer tools like https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/, but it's also possible for CDs to contain ISRCs encoded into the disc
      • regarding that specific ISRC, it's possible for a single Musicbrainz recording to have more than one ISRC, and for each ISRC to be linked to multiple MB recordings. Sometimes they are just double-assigned by the issuer
      • phoenix_05[m]
        yes; I've seen this, but I'm unsure as to what the source for that ISRC is
      • elomatreb[m]
        looks like they were imported from Spotify: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/101258637
      • phoenix_05[m]
        oh right, it should be in the recording editing history, not the release
      • they're all from Yuno's Tranquilizer album, which has a different ISRC as compared to the single
      • i noticed this on Picard; even after I add the proper ISRC, I'm guessing both will be listed on the track's metadata?
      • vardhan_ has quit
      • elomatreb[m]
        not sure if Picard will add both ISRCs, but the musicbrainz website will list it
      • phoenix_05[m]
        wait, the recording should have both ISRCs, shouldn't the releases have their specific ISRCs?
      • * wait, if the recording
      • elomatreb[m]
        which release an ISRC came from is not expressed in the MB schema in its current form
      • and arguably that's the right way to do it, an ISRC is an identifier for a recording, in an ideal world every release would list the same one for the same track
      • phoenix_05[m]
        elomatreb (@_discord_681477816029675521:chatbrainz.org) hmm, but then why do tracks have multiple ISRCs?
      • elomatreb[m]
        "tracks" in the musicbrainz sense?
