I rarely see different art for lq and hi-res stuff on mora and other japanese digital stores

oftentimes the differences between digital and "analog" releases (for japan at least) are the intended credits on songs. I assume the label is setting them or it's the internal naming as is

lovesegfault[m]: I'm curious, in edits like https://musicbrainz.org/edit/83078082, why are you adding artist names to the recording names as well as to the artist credits ? Wouldn't it be better to just add artists to the artist credit field and keep the recording name as it is?
lovesegfault[m]
Because the name of the song actually includes the name of the artist. “A Benção Whatever” means “With the blessing of Whatever” in Portuguese
If you look at the scans on that album you can se the track titles have that in them
I had written the titles wrong when importing from Discogs crap data
So now I’m slowly fixing it all

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know the meaning of "A Benção" :) . But I'm looking at https://coverartarchive.org/release/98116193-f6... and I'd interpret that as "With the blessing of (whoever), the track: (song name)"
the format seems to be "track number": "track name". So the text before the track number is just some addition to it, but not part of the name (IMHO). Would that make sense?

It’s an allusion to another song called “Samba da Benção”, each track there has a portion of Samba da Benção modified as an ode to the artist mentioned in the title
Those modified sambas don’t exist anywhere but in this live recording AFAIK
So each track has two songs, the first being called “An ode to Whomever” essentially no being a play on “Samba da Benção”
(slow to respond, listening to jazz, having a beer)

Interesting (and don't worry about being slow to respond, that's understandable)

I'm sorry to be so nitpicking, but I was voting yes when I noticed something else: "A Bênção, Ary Barroso / A Bênção, Bach / Jesus, Alegria dos Homens / Rancho das Flores" That format looks like the typical song composed of 4 parts when it's actually an "introduction to the name" and a song composed of two parts. Wouldn't there be some other way to write it? Like (A Bênção, Ary Barroso / A Bênção, Bach) Jesus,
Alegria dos Homens / Rancho das Flores" ? That would mean others would have to be changed accordingly, like "(A Bênção, Antonio Carlos Jobim) Lamento no Morro"

Hey all, regarding the API, given an artist and a song is there a call I could make to find the first official album containing the song?

albumseeker: what do you mean by "official"?
albumseeker
not a bootleg
atj: an example artist AC/DC, song "Touch too much" should return "Highway to hell"
yes, so the first/earliest official album release is what I'm looking to get

[23:58] <aerozol> (being a veteran of this discussion, let me pre-empt that I don't think anyone, including me, is saying to do a Discogs and add 10 releases for a single Bandcamp release, one for each format. ei ei ei)
I agree, that is wild and wrong
simultanious I am thinking that having some different releases based on some things makes sense too
[01:20] <derwin> ftr, in my case, it's not that I "don't care" about digital media or that I'm "against ... detail/nuanced [digital] releases" ... it's that I believe that a lot of the "detail" available about digital releases has no actual semantic meaning that relates to creator or label intent
I also agree this is a good point (while I also see the opposite point)
personally I think often *bandcamp* can be different than itunes/deezer/spotify
it depends who is the distributor to these shops sometiems maybe?
if it's the artist or the label.
i see that often bandcamp will have a differnt date thna the others.

<antlarr> "I'm sorry to be so nitpicking..." <- Let me listen to it and check :)
Yeah, no, A Bênção, Ary Barroso" is one song, then "A Bênção, Bach" is another song, then "Jesus, Alegria dos Homens" is yet another, and Rancho das Flores the last one
These "A Bênção, PersonName" are all "songs". It's someone doing a declaration to the Person and talking about their relationship to the Album's main artist (Vinicius de Moraes)
Happy to share the file with you so you can hear what I mean :P
