ok, turns out that the artist I add from spotify to mb, dont seem to bother much with the way they give credits or name their tracks

on youtube they might write the tracks in greek, credit extra artists (like prod. by) and also credit the label properly

while on spotify they seem to omit all those and apart from that they credit artists who are part of the band performing the song

what a mess

s/artist/artists/

Spotify credits influence who gets paid, I think

So maybe that's related?

They certainly influence discovery since you can click through etc

hm I see

I often find they're absolutely horrible, anyway, and will prefer any other source if available

I see

For artist credits specifically

Im close to doing this

or I might add the extra artists

That said, for titles, if Spotify has English titles for example and YouTube has Greek, that's probably two releases :)

I think they just transliterate it

they are "tiny" artists, ~2-3k monthly listeners and their album covers are in greek

Generally that'd still mean two releases :) Not that you have to add both

hm I see

one release on spotify and one on youtbe?

s/youtbe/youtube/

(in that case I'd personally just add the Greek script one for my own use tbh, but both are official options AFAICT)

I see

yeah I add the greek one

and then tend to add an alias

I think my strategy will be to first do the harmony mports with a few manual additions

and after I add like ~30artists' discographies, I'll return to enrich the metadata (with extra credits, aliases, links etc.)

* aliases, links,, * isrc etc.)

reosarevok[m]: hey talk for a sec

For a sec

so, two things:

first if you (or anyone else luring here) have any suggestions on https://community.metabrainz.org/t/help-suggest...

please add a comment :D

reosarevok[m]:

I'll try to check when back home from the shop :)

cool

I just bought an album and every track has a different artwork in its meta tags. Can/Should I upload them to musicbrainz? How would I extract them?

Hi. Through the "Recently added" links I came across this release: https://musicbrainz.org/release/a83c8d84-f57a-4... . The editing history suggests it was automatically imported using a tool named "Harmony". None of the titles follow the English language styleguide. I'm just wondering if its a Good Idea to use such tools if they produce non-conforming entries?
