If a CD contains a credit for the illustrator of the cover art as "<Person> at <Company>", and neither the person nor company exist in MB, should the Person or the Company be added as a new artist?
I have a album that potentially has an incorrect track list (have the physical cd and track list is from the insert), would you create the release with the track list as the insert says, or as the songs actually are if you listen to them?

killer_gecko (@_discord_328378206744739841:chatbrainz.org) I’ve seen a few other releases with mismatches like that, and the solution for those was to have the track list on MB match the actual CD (adjusting titles to match) and then detailing what the misprint is in the annotation.
fisherwithac, the company should probably be added as a Creative Agency label

dvirtz: Thanks for the info; since the disc credited a specific person at the company, I ended up creating new artists and then filling in the "Credited as" field to match what's on the sleeve. If this isn't preferred, i can go ahead and create the Creative Agency labels
Oh no I meant ; one relationship like you did ("Gabriel Chapa at Chapa Creative" is perfect)
2025-11-07 31100, 2025
darkadonis[m]
and one more relationship as : "Label -> "Design" -> Chapa Creative (Creative Agency

darkadonis[m]
* (Creative Agency)
2025-11-07 31155, 2025
darkadonis[m]
without the (Creative Agency) it is just a hint if Chapa Creative doesn't have a label page
2025-11-07 31146, 2025
fisherwithac
So the release would have a relatinoship to the Person, and the Person should have a relationship to the Creative Agency. Hence, if the Creative Agency doesn't exist in MB, it should be create dand linked. Sorry for the multiple clarifications, I'm new to this and it's early

But you can link the Artist -> Label after if you want.
Yup, if I get the graphic designer set up properly, I'll do the same with the artwork artist as well

@Davide Melarato those (1) numbers come from the internal order of the cover images as they are returned by the APIs, I don't think there is a way to get that information into the template

<elomatreb[m]> "@Davide Melarato those (1..." <- Do you mean that the API returns the first image named as is, and it appends the number to subsequent images with the same name?

no, the images get run through your template, which results in them all receiving the same name (because all the substituted information is identical), and then when they get written out, the numbers are appended to avoid overwriting files. The order of the files (i.e. which file gets the "plain" name, which becomes " (1)" and so forth, is determined by the Cover Art Archive API response as far as I can tell)
