Hi, I have a track that is called "Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker". Musicbrainz shows a warning because of "The" which usually should be lowercase. Is ir ok if I ignore that warning? or should I make it lowercase?

infact maybe we should consider not give warnings in the case of "foo**'s The** bar" ? 🤔

MonkeyPython[m]1: Perfect, thanks. And yes, I agree with you, in those cases the warning shouldn't appear

But "more's the pity" should be lowercased :)

I think having the warning is fine - it is a warning "check this makes sense" not an error "this must be wrong"

Is there a specific tag I could use to mark things that are DJ sets or mixes? It would be useful for me to be able to say "actually this one file is multiple songs mixed together"
2026-08-10 22255, 2026
yoshiyosh
miggyb: on release groups, the "secondary type" contains "DJ-mix" for this purpose. at the *recording* level, there's a "DJ-mix of" recording relationship that can link a DJ mix to an individual recording it uses

miggyb
Thanks! :) I'm not sure if I want to submit my work just yet, for now it's just making sense of my own music library. How does the secondary type translate to id3 tags?
I'm not sure of the exact ID3 tag that gets used... I haven't used mp3 in a long time

though I just drudged an old album up that I still had in mp3; seems as if it uses {TXXX:<musicbrainz tag name here>} when dealing with it: https://litter.catbox.moe/wgpq9t.png

Fair! Wouldn't be my choice these days, but I have random old files that I'm trying to make pretty in Navidrome
If only people actually voted on edits. How's your vote count?

Not for this one lol, but i voted on edits that fixed some mistakes, and this editor actually has a lot of such bad edits still open
2026-08-10 22257, 2026
reosarevok[m]
Most open edits are adding remix names, might be ok

actually if the "original mix" info comes from beatport" it's garbodor because they add that to *every* trackname, automatically
2026-08-10 22220, 2026
MonkeyPython[m]1
for example looking at https://musicbrainz.org/release/880bb3f0-62f6-424…... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/irc/v1/media/download/AVXRuK38xItkRmAp3e9x_KaZYQJtfd2r9z_Cy1T1PvzcGqp6K_L0bEG_44RrD2qUrn8xTGP_ZOZyHiwMkFqDCW9CegEcwOugAGNoYXRicmFpbnoub3JnL3lBUmhTclRicmVxaXRlR2FsSENqaXhEWg>)
is the instrumental checkbox in the "recording of" relation meant only for intrumental versions of songs that normally have vocals or should it be used even if the original is an instrumental?

I'm like 89% sure it's only the former, but ask reosarevok when he's back from vacation in a week :D

i tend to use the 'instrumental' option as a way to say that "the lyricist credit on the work doesn't apply to this recording". it's not needed if the work is instrumental, but i don't think it's really wrong either.
