        Not sure if I should split the singles and the EP's here, or if the singles would be considered promos of the EP :(
      • Should probably split them huh?

        hrm.. probably :/

        Is there a tool to diff to releases? For https://musicbrainz.org/cdtoc/cIOpaTLd0pvja43a5... , the SE variant looks bogus, at least in this very web page. Would be nice to see the actual differences between the two, side by side.
      • reosarevok
        olh: the Swedish release event was added in 2006, when we had only one release with several events
      • So, it should be (or originally have been) exactly the same
      • Oh, no, actually, the other was added later :)
      • So, the Swedish one was the original add
      • olh
        I guess both could be merged into a XE release.
      • reosarevok
        Only if they had the same barcode, legal text etc all around Europe
      • (I don't know the album)
      • Sweden was probably picked because they needed to pick something and the artist is Swedish, anyway
      • olh
        Well, if a person in Madrid would have entered a CD, and I got my copy in Berlin, surely I would not go and add another copy. Well, unless I'm in the right mood and check if the details are indeed identical.
      • s/copy/release/
      • So, this specific case looks to me like a useless dup, which does nothing bug to interrupt whipper asking for input.
      • reosarevok
        As I said, this was the original add many years before the FR one was added :) But no, you wouldn't add another copy unless it has different details (But hopefully you also wouldn't submit the discID to the existing one unless you've checked those details :) )
      • olh
        so, what to do about it?
      • reosarevok
        If you can't find a source for it, and given the lack of info, you could just merge it, I guess
      • olh
        My physical medium is called "PLATINUM CDR" ...
      • ev
        sounds like a promo item to me
      • unless they actuallyy distributed all the releases on CDRs
      • olh
        an that is all I got. Who knows who went off with the original a decade ago.
      • ev
        so, am I understanding correctly, that disc ID above is from your CD-R copy?
      • olh
        yes, sure.
      • so the merge UI is not clear to me. If I select the SE entry, in which the FR entry should be merged into, do I have to use "Merge" or "Append"? The default appears to be append.
      • reosarevok
        Append will give you two discs, merge one
      • So you want merge
      • olh
        Why does it list both, apparently identical, track lists? Are they not actual identical? At the first glance they are. But this is the place where I expected a (friendly) "diff -u" output.
      • ah, "Merge" changes the help text.
      • ev
        olh where does it say "PLATINUM CDR"?
      • is that printed on the disc proper?
      • or is it a sticker or something?
      • olh
        No. It could also have been "VERBATIM" or whatever. Just another name for "Sicherheitskopie"...
      • Just cleaning up the house, found old crap.
      • ev
        Sorry, I'm really confused. Are you saying that was the box the disc in or is it something that is printed on the disc proper?
      • Because if it's something printed on the disc at the factory, I would doubt you have one of the releases listed on Musicrainz, or on Discogss (no CDRs there)
      • reosarevok
        I understand they don't have the original, just this :)
      • (anymore)
      • ev
        OK, so it's a copy of the original, makes sense.
      • olh
        I guess next Friday morning I will know what the outcome of https://musicbrainz.org/edit/85107184 actually is. The UI does not show that, if there are conflicts or the like.

        Hey there! I'm not new to Musicbrainz I've been contributing for a while but I kinda miss some kind of review of the edits/additions. For example I just added this release: https://musicbrainz.org/release/9bc5e8ab-9283-4... and have serious doubts about the track capitalization. Can someone help me doing it right?
      • In a more general way, I don't know if such a thing exists but is there some kind of peer review / mentoring process?
      • sublim20 joined the channel

      • reosarevok
        uZer: well, there's voting, and people who are following any artist or label here will be notified of your edit
      • uZer
        The problem is I usually get no vote on any edit/addition I make
      • reosarevok
        Then you might be editing a bit more obscure stuff, or mostly doing it right :)
      • Asking here is always ok
      • Here I'm a bit confused because bandcamp is all lowercase, and the release is too - except the last, German-titled track
      • I'd expect either all-lowercase is artist intent and it overrides German, or it is not and then everything follows guidelines
      • Other than that, it all looks good to me
      • uZer
        Yeah I'm clearly adding obscure stuff most of the time x) I think this release is lowercase by artist intent too, but I had doubts for the last tracks, thanks for the info!
      • reosarevok
        You could add works to be able to indicate "written by", and add "produced" to the tracks
      • rdswift has quit
      • uZer
        Ok let me check on the wiki how works work. In the meantime another open edit I have with strong doubts: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/85008498

        uZer: unless the same persona / discography, I'd not merge, but link as "legal name Max Ravitz" in the same way Patricia is
      • uZer
        OK thanks a lot, I'll do that!

        Wow that rg that olh was talking about is stuffed! https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/76f6b686-...
      • From what I can tell from back covers at Discogs most of the barcodes are with the wrong release country anyway. Dunno if I want to be the one untangling it tbh!
      • hey uZer, I've subscribed to your edits so they will pop up in my emails. But honestly I probably wont comment unless you've done something weird/wrong :P As Reo says, no news is good news!!
      • uZer
        Oh thanks you aerozol! I'm following your twitch channel since a few weeks but didn't get the chance to see you stream yet (maybe a timezone problem :P)
      • aerozol
        Hehe probably, living in the +12 timezone is pretty special! Hey, isn't it time for a new album from you btw??
      • uZer
        I discovered your account thanks to a cover artwork you added on a release that is my worst musicbrainz memory https://musicbrainz.org/release/c7fde848-825e-4...
      • aerozol
        (this is uZers release from ten years ago afaik everyone https://schematicwizard.bandcamp.com/)
      • uZer
        hahaha thanks :D I've got other projects ongoing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JVI_EYEBemyL...
      • aerozol
        ooooh did you have to add a ton of new artists on that compilation? was that the difficult part?
      • uZer
        Yeah, I know the guy behind this compilation/label (Serendip Labs)... I did typos even on the official release on bandcamp
      • aerozol
        oh fun! does nullpart have a bandcamp? otherwise will listen shortly
      • ah you just have to do what you can, others can fix it up if they have a problem
      • uZer
        not yet but we did make a soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/null_part
      • Everything is from jam sessions we did this summer and previous one :')
      • I'm the little nerd behind the modularsynth, hi! haha
      • aerozol
        nerds 4 life!!
      • uZer
        Thanks for the review and the tools aerozol! I also added Works on my own albums since it's something I know better, and... haha yeah ok it's a lot of work :') Thanks for pointing this is something needed/useful reosarevok!
      • aerozol
      • I don't often bother with works /naughty
      • I see the value (esp with classical), but I honestly have too much to add to the DB that takes precedence
      • uZer
        haaa thanks for the null.part addition :D
      • wow amazing you added my friend's profiles
      • reosarevok
        aerozol: boooooo :p
      • (but fair, for non-reused stuff)
      • aerozol
        ;P
      • uZer
        Can a digital release have a barcode? (e.g a album with CD medium + Digital release on bandcamp, barcode on bandcamp, should I put the barcode in the Digital Release too?)
      • aerozol
        totally, if the barcode is on bandcamp I would add it to the digital release
      • Spotify and Deezer every release has a barcode
      • sublim20 joined the channel
      • uZer
        ok thanks
      • another question sorry :D is there a magic script to find all streaming for free/buy URL for a specific release?
      • Sylvhem joined the channel
      • ev
        uZer: many digital releases have an UPC
      • if you have the bandcamp userscript it will reveal the associated UPC
      • uZer
        ah wow perfect, I was not familiar with this whole UPC thing, I found the atisket page and the "summit to MB" button :O
      • ok this is incredible
