aerozol: are they just extracts from the main thing? There was a thread on the forums about that recently, if so
I'd personally say those are not equivalent

reosarevok: not sure what you mean about extracts? But I think so, yes. They were publically available with text on the digital store page saying "These tracks will be on the full album release available March 17"
I'm sorry, I think at some point I already asked this but I don't remember the answer. Is there any policy wrt adding podcasts to musicbrainz? Maybe adding the podcast itself as Release Group (Broadcast/Spokenword) and then each podcast program as a Release? Or maybe it would make more sense to have the podcast itself as a Series (with a new type "Podcast") and just add each podcast program as a different Release Group/
Release in that series?

reosarevok: “Breton music” is most often used to designate traditional music from Brittany or contemporary music inspired from it. It certainly differentiates from “folk” but it isn’t necessarily a subgenre.
Actually “folk” in French can have two distinctive meanings: “folk” (f) designates (mostly contemporary song) folk music from English-speaking countries (Baez, Dylan…), and “folk” (m) designates (mostly progressive dance) folk music from France and Western Europe.

antlarr: I would think series/release group is the correct model for podcasts.
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question... S Club 7 was a 7-piece UK pop band. In early 2002 one member left, at which point theremaining six rebranded as just "S Club". They split in mid 2003, and all seven reformed in 2014 for a year. This is already all represented within MB.
In 2008 three members of the original line-up formed a spin-off band, S Club 3, mainly performing on the festival and nightclub circuit, and not initially releasing any new music. The lineup of this spinoff band changed a couple of times, including a brief stint with a fourth member of the original S Club 7 during which time they were known as S Club Party. In 2017 the band released their
only single, credited as SC3. In 2020 the trio became a duo and renamed themselves S Club Live, by this point only one of the original S Club 3 members remain.
Possibly significantly, both S Club 7 and S Club 3 existed at the same time during 2014, as separate bands sharing three or four of the same members. How should all of this be represented in MB? Is S Club 3 an alias of S Club 7? Or are they (as I suspect) classed as a separate group in their own right? And if so, are all the various iterations of S Club 3 the same band, despite changing
their name each time the lineup changed?

gavinatkinson: ugh!
How do the fans and performers, as best as you can tell, think of the situation?
It sounds to me like there are two groups: original and spin-off, and each have changed names and membership multiple times.
But if the fans think of S Club 3 and S Club Live as different bands completely, then not.
It does not sound to me like there is only one act, though.

They'd always appear as "S Club 3" on e.g. festival posters, etc. Given the original band had split and with no sign of reforming, it was assumed the new band was all that was going to exist going forwards
I sort of feel that creating a band "S Club 3" with Live and Party as aliases likely fits best how fans etc would have seen them
cam1170
I would have S Club Party and S Club Live be separate groups
But idk the history

OK, thanks! That's really useful, I'll have a think about it and see if I can tell whether fans thought of them as different bands or not
