        reosarevok, I just read your message, thanks for implementing that. Is there any way all my votes for "asian rock" can be deleted? I've used it *way* too many times to delete them manually.

      • about the artists
      • there are different artists
      • but all are not in the database
      • BlastboomStrice[
        in each track you mean
      • yeah
      • JulianBouys[m]
        like "cademakesmusic"
      • BlastboomStrice[: yes
      • petitminion joined the channel
      • i don't know what i need to do
      • BlastboomStrice[
        oh
      • you have to either add them
      • or omit them
      • it would be nice if you could add them

      • the bottom artist doesnt exist
      • then, you have to first check if they actually exist, just differently
      • to do that, go search them on the search bar, top right
      • BlastboomStrice[ uploaded an image: (2KiB) < https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/4d2.org/CaNzOmMtuXcUCeOesWqVXBAO/image.png >
      • JulianBouys[m]
        yes, that's what i have did with others artists
      • but with cademakesmusic there is nothing
      • BlastboomStrice[
        you can even try the advanced query syntax
      • BlastboomStrice[ uploaded an image: (29KiB) < https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/4d2.org/WbuFNyRBCjsFTuxOUDAKQPGO/image.png >
      • if still you can't find them
      • BlastboomStrice[: you have to click on the "add new artist" here
      • you can also add an artist from the drop-menu at the top

      • so we press add a new artist
      • JulianBouys[m]
        i have no informations about cademakesmusic....
      • BlastboomStrice[
        yeah it's oke
      • BlastboomStrice[ uploaded an image: (26KiB) < https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/4d2.org/PYnbYCCjojUefZwEjiyEIUdo/image.png >
      • the important stuff are the... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/...>)
      • there is a guide about how to make the sort name (using the name)
      • <BlastboomStrice[> "image.png" <- if you see here, you can find links to the artists involved from the icons (many of the icons are hyperlinks if the system finds a match)
      • just a tip, many sites add tracking parameters to links when you try to share a link
      • anything you see after the ? is probably a tracking parameter and you can remove it
      • JulianBouys[m]
        what is "sort name" exactly ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        if you try to fill the field you get additional info
      • BlastboomStrice[ uploaded an image: (27KiB) < https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/4d2.org/krBxWAFNgioSpPvWPrcsyfhQ/image.png >
      • it helps sort the artist in the database
      • for example, "The Script" (name) would have a sort name of "Script The"
      • a name in greek, like "Ακης", would have a sort name in latin "Akis"
      • * of "Script, The"
      • JulianBouys[m]
        but for cademakesmusic, there is nothing, right ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        yeah
      • you just use the same
      • copy paste
      • many times it's just the same
      • JulianBouys[m]
        for the Disambiguation, i have found nothing about him/her on internet
      • tagomago joined the channel
      • BlastboomStrice[
        eh it's oke
      • JulianBouys[m]
        now i have only name, sort name, type (person) and external links
      • BlastboomStrice[
        it's cool
      • JulianBouys[m]
        i confirm the edit ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        sure
      • JulianBouys[m]
        okay :)
      • BlastboomStrice[
        and if you ever find any more info or you want to change the info of the artist, it's very simple
      • you just press edit and do your edits
      • JulianBouys[m]
        good ?

      • BlastboomStrice[
        yeah sure
      • JulianBouys[m]
        what are the recordings ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        a track might be recorded multiple times
      • wait let me check it
      • > A recording is an entity in MusicBrainz which can be linked to tracks on releases. Each track must always be associated with a single recording, but a recording can be linked to any number of tracks.
      • > A recording represents distinct audio that has been used to produce at least one released track through copying or mastering. A recording itself is never produced solely through copying or mastering.
      • > Generally, the audio represented by a recording corresponds to the audio at a stage in the production process before any final mastering but after any editing or mixing.
      • for example, release2 has all the tracks of release1, plus 2 more
      • if release2 only has 2 more songs and the rest weren't re-recorded, you can link the tracks of release2 to the tracks of release1 and create 2 new
      • s/tracks/recordings/
      • JulianBouys[m]
        oh, here i will use it because it's a deluxe version ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        recording is the actual recording of a song
      • JulianBouys[m]
        i link to the old songs existing in the normal soundtrack ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        I think yes, but it would be nice if you could somehow confirm that they weren't re-recorded
      • JulianBouys[m]
        hmm yes
      • i think no beacause i have listened the two soundtracks, and i heard nothing very different
      • but how to be sure ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        oke then:)
      • maybe if they made a statement or something
      • I could try downloading them, lol
      • and check them
      • JulianBouys[m]
        To celebrate, check out the newly released Deluxe OST! This includes ALL the music from Melatonin, as well as 4 bonus tracks! Thank you to everyone who has supported this game!
      • they have said just this
      • BlastboomStrice[
        ah nice
      • JulianBouys[m]
        the first song "Dream Ocean" duration is 3:15, like "Dream Ocean" in the old soundtrack
      • BlastboomStrice[
        I suppose all these conclude that it's the same recordings
      • JulianBouys[m]
        probably the same
      • yes i think too

      • what is "update..." ?
      • oh
      • because there is an other artist in this version
      • so i don't check this case ?
      • BlastboomStrice[ uploaded an image: (17KiB) < https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/4d2.org/dtJRjcculJnbibaybOxloiOu/image.png >
      • BlastboomStrice[
        I think the one who added the original sountrack in the database omitted the other artist
      • JulianBouys[m]
        yes
      • :(
      • BlastboomStrice[
        I think you should update them, you did a more detailed job
      • SigHunter has quit
      • it will get the artist you put in the artists field and copy them to the existing recording
      • thuna`
        Would comparing the AcoustIDs work to check whether the two are the same recording or not?
      • JulianBouys[m]
        BlastboomStrice[: yes i check all the cases :)
      • BlastboomStrice[
        thuna`: possibly a good idea, but I just checked on spotify that these songs have the same listens
      • on both albums
      • JulianBouys[m]
        so$
      • i'm to the confirmation page
      • * so
      • i delete this ? :
      • SigHunter joined the channel
      • it's in the end of the page
      • BlastboomStrice[
        nah it's useful
      • it's the edit details
      • it auto-generates it when you import it with harmony
      • JulianBouys[m]
        so you want screenshots of the final page or not ?
      • BlastboomStrice[
        adds citations to your edit and makes it more credible
      • JulianBouys[m]: hm if you want
      • though you probably did it fine
      • JulianBouys[m]
        hmmm wait a take screenshots
