for video game soundtracks that are possible to purchase from Steam, should a link to that be added?

there isn't a specific link type for steam store pages

rph (@_discord_102038103463567360:chatbrainz.org) That would generally fall under "purchase for download"
2025-04-08 09814, 2025
elomatreb[m]
and yes, feel free to add a link to that
2025-04-08 09825, 2025
rph[m]
yeah I know, but a lot of online music stores have a specific link type, I guess that's not necessary to add a link?
2025-04-08 09826, 2025
elomatreb[m]
it's not necessary, and generally we don't want dedicated link types for every page unless there's something specific about them
2025-04-08 09810, 2025
elomatreb[m]
note that having a dedicated link type is distinct from being automatically rendered in the sidebar, e.g. "Stream on Spotify" in the sidebar is still a "stream for free" behind the scenes

When I have an album that doesn't match anything with MB (Different script) do I need to add each track separately?

If the files are in the correct order, you can drop them onto the first track and they should be assigned to that track and the next ones in sequence.

This is really random, but would you think that having separate fields for first and last (or even middle) name would be useful?
2025-04-08 09830, 2025
zemeles[m]
That way, someone could make more specific searches in the database
2025-04-08 09852, 2025
zemeles[m]
Or maybe it would be easier to find how common a name is
2025-04-08 09848, 2025
zemeles[m]
I don't know though, it's just a really random thought I just had

@zemeles: Not everyone has a first and a last name

standardising name structure is very difficult if you move beyond even a single country, and sometimes even within that

rph: Yes please to adding a Steam soundtrack link, but only if it really is the same. Often tracklists or cover art are different. You can check Steam cover art (for instance) by pasting the steam store link (for the soundtrack) into https://steamdb.info/, and then Metadata (in the sidebar) > Album Assets
2025-04-08 09851, 2025
rph[m]
the steam store page lists the track listing and it's the same as the one on the release + the album assets are the same
2025-04-08 09842, 2025
rph[m]
oh wait, the album art is different, but the track listing matches. what's the course of action in that case?
2025-04-08 09837, 2025
rph[m]
Would that be considered a separate release/pseudo-release/something else?
2025-04-08 09843, 2025
aerozol[m]
A new release :)
2025-04-08 09822, 2025
aerozol[m]
It should be easy to add, you can reuse the existing track listing and group etc, just change the release date and cover art etc to match the Steam store
I see - I will remove the link, create another release, and add it there

hey Aerozol (@_discord_537897767968833566:chatbrainz.org) apologies for still bothering you about this, but I am running into the following case:
2025-04-08 09825, 2025
rph[m]
- the tracklist on steam seems to be wrong, the files are different lengths from the listed track length
2025-04-08 09811, 2025
rph[m]
also the titles in the steam version of the soundtrack seem mixed up, the file has a different title from the bandcamp version, but they are the same length and appear to be the same file

also depending on the distributor, cover art higher than 1400^2 can be and is available through apple music

not for those covers , I’ve tried

like with KARENT releases i've often gotten exactly 2400^2

rph: I'm at the 9-5 so I can't look closely sorry. But basically the steam release should match the steam download files
