Shouldn't the genre tag "asian rock" have a disambiguation? I've used it thinking it was, well, *asian rock*, but it turns out to be some sort of subgenre of a subgenre of trap.

Seems fair :) Will add

"rock from Asia" would not be a genre, since it has nothing to do with how it sounds

I added a disambiguation "pluggnb subgenre - not rock from Asia" but it seems a ton of uses are wrong, sigh. What a mess

Thanks for bringing it up!

I should push for https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... to be merged, it would be a lot easier to fix this that way

bitmap: ^ can we revisit that soon-ish?

hi, can someone add Melatonin : Orginal Soundtrack DELUXE ?

30 tracks👀

yes ?

oh so there's the normal album on mb, but not deluxe, I see

yes, sorry i've not said it

you can import music much easier with harmony.pulsewidth.org btw

how it works ? i have never do it before

s/do/dis/

s/do/did/

I suppose its your first time adding stuff to the database, right?

yes :(

cool cool

I started adding about a month ago

there are tools to make your work much easier

harmony is one of them

you give it a link to the album of a song and it tries to create a template of it to import it (it automatically opens the mb site)

something very important is the glossary of mb

mb also has some videos

I think your deluxe album would be a release inside the release group of this album

also some scripts you can use on your browser

so i don't click on the link in the down of the page ?

which one?

"import into musicbrainz"

ah yes, I think you press that

BlastboomStrice[: watching this would help you clear up some stuff

okay, thanks !

i will watch it

JulianBouys[m]: when you press that and then press continue, it throws you into the mb page where you create the release

see, here, I chose to add it to the existing release group

* see, here, I chose to add this release to the existing release group

also, something of note

edits that add info tend to be accepted immediately

edits that remove/merge or alter important stuff go into voting

if you dont gather 3 upvotes, it will take about a week for your edit to be accepted

it confused me at first

adding the release for example would be accepted

yeah, me too...

changing the name of an artist would take a week

so, have you sent the request ?

you just do the edit

and it becomes an open edit

the artist name (or whatever field your edit affects) becomes highlighted with yellow

initially I thought I had done something wrong and I would re-edit the same thing, lol

you will probably become familiar with it very soon if you try to add stuff

yeah probably

i'm just scared to do something wrong...

it's easily reversable

that's why destructive edits go to voting

ask here any questions you have

okay, thanks :)

I tend to get the album links of spotify and throw them to harmony site

and I also try to add info about any artist/group I add (with links)

those icons on harmony are links to the track and artist to various sites

you can get stuff you'd like to add from there

btw, I suppose this doesn't make any sense to click them when adding new tracks, right?

Unless you are reusing recordings, they will do nothing

thanks:)

i've seen the video

now can i continue ?
