I didn't even know there were any after linkedbrainz stopped working

Hello, I'm having trouble on edit #125875977. Problem is, this release turned out to have an English tracklist on anywhere except JP. Even in JP if you set your app language to English, tracklist turns to English. How should I proceed about this, should I just add EN tracklist as a pseudo-release or add another release as XW except JP? Harmony aggregates data with JP tracklist.

I'm very confused and editor rinsuki, who pointed out the issue, also don't know how we should do it.

I searched the forum and couldn't find an issue similar to this. If anyone could help I would be very glad

Two releases probably. Both official

Alright, I'll just make a new release but with english tracklist

What's up with GTINs extracted from iTunes artwork URLs by Harmony? I ask cuz I've been working with indie releases that don't contain any barcode on the physical product, and I *guess* the other streaming services don't supply a barcode..... this GTIN only seems to be coming from iTunes's artwork. If I do a web search for these GTIN nothing else on the web turns up, so I'm wondering if these GTINs are really official in these

cases?

iTunes requires a barcode AFAICT

So everyone needs to give their release one - which doesn't make it any less official

It's not possible for it to be automatically assigned on iTunes's end?

I don't think that's how it works - but even if it did it still would be a barcode :)

https://itunespartner.apple.com/music/support/5... says that " For music to be streamed or sold on Apple Music and the iTunes Store, each product (such as an album, EP, single, and video) must have a unique UPC, EAN, or JAN, and ISRC"

So, shouldn't I be able to look up a release from these GTINs, elsewhere on the web?

Sometimes you can

Sometimes they only use them for this kind of stuff

For example, Harmony got 5059449216478 from https://music.apple.com/us/album/our-song-our-s...

If you do https://harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk/release?url=&... you can see the same barcode finds the release at Deezer

Also at Tidal if you pick that instead of Deezer (the do pre-release differently so you can't select both together it seems)

But googling 5059449216478 gives you nothing of use

Okay, I see now that the other services contain the same GTIN too

So extracting from iTunes is just the easiest way to find it I presume eh

I guess so :)
