Lotheric what if the title is in a different language than the track titles?

release title

If several languages are used in the titles, choose the most common language. For releases where there's an equal mix of two or more languages and hence no obvious answer, 'Multiple Languages' may be the best choice. But remember that it is quite common for languages to borrow words and phrases, and so "Je ne sais quoi" in an English title does not make something multiple languages, nor do a few English words in a foreign language

title. (Some languages borrow quite extensively, and especially for Japanese, unless most of the titles are in other languages, Japanese is probably the best choice.)

If several scripts are used in the titles, choose the most common script. For releases where there's an equal mix of two or more scripts and hence no obvious answer, 'Multiple Scripts' may be the best choice. However, as the Latin script is common in many languages that primarily use another script, Latin should only be chosen if there are no more than one or two titles (or a few characters) in other scripts. For example, a Japanese

release with a mix of English and Japanese titles should normally use 'Japanese' as the script.

You can also leave the field blank if unsure

that section doesn't directly mention which part is referring to the script field

im assuming the second

what is your release, I can check

do you have a link ?

it doesn't say what the script field is also

yeah

I would assume it's some kind of japanese script but I can't be sure

I would leave it blank

when i use atisket/harmony to get the release data, it gets the english title, which is a bit confusing because the title is `ボーナス\(^o^)/ ` and there's already a CD release classified in MB

the title on the cover art and jp apple music

japanse uses more than one script so since I do not read or speak japanese I wouldn't know

katakana, hiragana and kanji, yes

this is Katakana

then use that as a script

oh sure, should I change the title from `Bonus` to what it usually is?

the title I previously mentioned

Is it a reissue ?

if so, I'd remove bonus from the title and put it in the release disambiguation

the translation of the katakana title is Bonus, and it's written under `ボーナス\(^o^)/ ` in the cover art

disambiguation makes sense, ill do that

does reissue also include digital release?

just curious

yeah, you can include in the same release group, all releases on different medium of the same "album"

CD, digital release, vinyl, etc

and reissues (with added bonus tracks)

here's an example

different editions of the same album

oh lol

I've seen this on a bigger scale with k-pop albums haha 😆

one had 49 versions

good disambiguation is essential with 49 versions

lmao

cool, thanks for the help

question from this bug report: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?... -- the cddb-tool query that guy executed looks nothing like the man page would indicate

the first “6” seems inconsistent with the man page, as well as all the trailing numbers → cddb-tool query "http://gnudb.gnudb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi" 6 steven freebsd 50049106 6 150 13650 30633 44035 57101 73191 1171

synopsis is this → cddb-tool query server user host disc-id tracks

can anyone make sense of that?

well, looks like the help page and the man page are inconsistent

ok, looking up an artist from the 90s called "Snappy" and the top result was a Person... "Snappy (furry? vocalist)" ... is that um... in the guidelines? lol

Searching for an artist "Snappy" and finding one with the name "Snappy" seems to be expected.

but "furry?" was kind of my comment of shock there

what does that have to with anything in MB?

is that a genre of music?

is he super hairy? does he just like dressing up as animals?

More the second https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom

* More the second <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom>;

lazybookwyrm[m]: I only assumed that... but why is that something in MB?

I'm assuming their music is furry stuff

do they only listen to a certain type of music that would make that pertinent?

i wasn't aware "furry" was a genre

So it's useful as a disambiguation to tell them apart from other artists

lol... i guess?

"Tim (loves the NY Yankees)" ? where does it end?

idk, i just thought that was a bit of an interesting thing to find in MB

If releases, labels, music festivals, etc start popping up around the NY Yankees then it could indeed become a disambiguation! Furrys have them beat for now
