        That's actually two different people - the mastering engineer isn't the same person as the Beach Boys co-songwriter (although they did both work with the Beach Boys in the 60s!)

        I have 3 versions of cover art for a release. It was a free digital download, and the cover art which came with the mp3 file is rectangular. Most platforms have a cropped version of the cover art, which cuts out some of the text. One of the first sites where it was released, the cover art is like the mp3 version, but with a white background. The artist's website has the mp3 version. Which should I use?

      • kepstinbrainz
        the mp3 version sounds like the best choice here, if the other options are either cropped or padded.

        Arguably those are 3 different releases, but if it's just broken versions of the cover, maybe keeping it simple is best for now
      • 2025-09-08 25108, 2025

      • kepstinbrainz
        yeah, non-square art is handled poorly in some places, so this was probably not intentional.

      • 2025-09-08 25105, 2025

      • Binyamin[m]
        Said differently, should I upload it raw? strip metadata? compress it?

        @cpli : you should probably bring this up in the genre tickets, either under the comments of https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-2415?… or by creating a new ticket

        Musicbrainz is a bit confusing at first. There isn't really a traditional "song" option.
      • 2025-09-08 25113, 2025

      • QuadRadicalPing[
        whenever i upload a cover art it says "Image not available, please try again later." after its done...
      • 2025-09-08 25133, 2025

      • QuadRadicalPing[
        Binyamin[m]: Yes, it's quite confusing :) I had to add a song then add a release for that song, as a single, and then type in a track list manually?

        I read a good analogy, that a "work" is like sheet music. "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" was composed by Mozart. But many people have performed it, so they all get their own albums (releases) and tracks (recordings).

        technically tracks and recordings manifest differently in musicbrainz. Practically, you really just talk about "recordings"

        tbh, a good workflow for adding an album is to create a release. The web app can create release groups and recordings based on your input.

        i first added a work and then a release
      • 2025-09-08 25142, 2025

      • QuadRadicalPing[
        but if i create a release could it create the work for me, if it is a single?

        likely i will mostly use harmony anyways

        yes. But you don't need works unless you want to add composers, lyricists, or other extra details.
