No, there’s not a good way to merge media once they’ve been entered.

what to do then?

You could merge the standalone into the new release, then edit the resulting (incorrect) release… or you could manually merge the recordings and other stuff. There’s not a good answer I’m aware of.

If you just created the big release, you could delete that, and do it again, using the standalone EP as a starting point.

In relation to this edit (https://musicbrainz.org/edit/79987824) I was wondering if someone could tell me whether these recordings appear to be the same, as far as a recording entry in musicbrainz cares. Obviously there is a minor offset in the track start and end times in the actual files, and the loudness(?) differs, but besides that is there any reason these would not be the same
I can provide different views of the audio data if someone knows a better visualization for determining these kinds of things

That does look very similar, and the fact that they're from different versions of the same release also supports being the same
2021-06-02 15320, 2021

If there is no audible difference I'd say you would consider them the same

I am trying to run Musicbrainz locally to create my own personal database from scratch. Is it easier to use ubuntu or osx? I have next to no coding ability.

Hi minimiggs, do you mean MusicBrainz Picard?

Or MusicBrainz Server?

musicbrainz server. I have managed to get a MusicBrainz mirror server running. next step is the ability to create my own database from scratch
2021-06-02 15321, 2021

minimiggs: I would recommend you not to install it if you have neither coding nor sysadmin ability.
2021-06-02 15344, 2021

This is not made to create custom databases.
2021-06-02 15311, 2021

It is designed to create a unique database and mirror it.

minimiggs: Maybe beets.io would be a better fit?

So you should be able to retrieve them in a local database using beets.

why need a local database to retrive them tho

One of the issues I have with the main database is. Looking at a single track on a CD that I own. It will have multiple ISRC codes, multiple Audio fingerprints. How do I know which Audio fingerprint is my track?
2021-06-02 15318, 2021
minimiggs
Adding to that. When each track in the database has multiple audio fingerprints and multiple ISRCs, How do I compare multiple tracks to see if they are the same or different?

minimiggs: I'm not sure I understand the question to be honest, but to find the track you have, you calculate the acoustID fingerprint and then check to see which one matches?
2021-06-02 15307, 2021

also, tracks can have multiple ISRCs, I'm not sure it's something to get hung up about

minimiggs: The acoustID fingerprint can be computed locally from your audio file using Chromaprint (which is used by Picard).
2021-06-02 15313, 2021
yvanzo
A MB recording can have multiple AcoustID fingerprints, but the opposite implies there is a mistake in the database.
2021-06-02 15313, 2021

Not necessarily. E.g., it’s known that karaoke versions not uncommonly get the same AcoustID as studio versions.

In both cases, that would be specified for these recordings.
