Hello, I'd like a little bit of advice on something. Basically I saw this edit https://musicbrainz.org/edit/87600142 and wondered where they got the catalog number from because I had never seen said label use a catalog number at all, for physical or digital releases. After doing a little bit of digging I found out it came from some service called traxsource (https://www.traxsource.com/title/1752244/distant-…) This is the only

place where this catalog number is listed and it seems to be because the site forces them to use a catalog number or something. Anyways all this to ask, should I consider this a valid catalog number and leave it or remove it? Hope someone can help advise me.

ItsPizzaTime1501: does Traxsource assign CCnnnn numbers to other albums? If so, then it seems like that is a Traxsource identifier, not a real catalog number. If not, then it seems like the label must have (however reluctantly) chosen that identifier for that album, and so it’s legit.

That said, the Traxsource distribution isn’t linked to that release. Maybe this should be a separate release in that release group, with a catalog number, and the other digital releases shouldn’t have one.

crism: After checking a bunch of different releases on Traxsource it seems that all of them have an identifier like that that have no mentions anywhere else. So I'm 99% sure it's just an identifier for the site and not a real catalog number.

Actually scratch that, I've managed to link one to an actual catalog number, https://musicbrainz.org/release/d7e10ce7-32c0-423… has "RGMEDIA16R2" as a catalog number which is the same on the Traxsource page https://www.traxsource.com/title/1472976/overload. I guess they force the label to come up with a catalog number even if they don't actually have one for said release which is probably why there's no mention of most
I think both of these are the same release, with at most two catalog numbers. but the art says USSX001 on both of them, even the one that is allegedly USSX001D

every other source says the USSX001 without the D, and the D is not different in any way other than having a different beatport URL and catalog number listed there

nope, the durations are the same, and it's highly unlikely that they differ in terms of content

hilariously, the key detection differs... track 2 is either A# minor or Bb Minor (lol!) and track 4 is either Amin or Dmin

this seems to be an issue with this label in general, also has two releases on iTunes for every release...
reosarevok: I had that happen with the discogs importer like forever ago, but then IIRC it spontaneously resolved itself. you're sure you're logged into discogs?
