ok whoever did alchemist 2 did it weird and it's ruining my brain rn
zoedivision[m]
yeah it looks super weird lmao
duckfromdisc[m]
on the one without the (2) it LINKS to a recording ***WITH*** a (2) but it's A DIFFERENT RECORDING
zoedivision[m]
one of those MB-ian things that's easy to muck up and hard to fix haha
duckfromdisc[m]
hard to fix is an understatement
which recording set gets kept?
oh dear and this is after afro tried to fix it
it used to be worse
afro is one of those listeners where i feel like every song ive heard is a subset of what theyve heard and they have way more
zoedivision[m]
well for a start I see that some of the recordings have ISRCs attached and some don't........ I'd merge into the one with ISRC
but that might mean renaming later lol
duckfromdisc[m]
idk man i might just not touch this
zoedivision[m]
if you don't listen to him / this release, I wouldn't 😹
duckfromdisc[m]
i do
orangebot
Sorry to butt in, what's the best way to define a cover of a "recording"? Would the cover be considered a "recording"?
zoedivision[m]
not sure i follow
duckfromdisc[m]
apparently this release is a war znoe
s/znoe/zone/
zoedivision[m]
not to be cheeky, but if it's been recorded, that's a recording
duckfromdisc[m]
the (2)s got added and removed like twice
orangebot
Agreed, I'm just having trouble marking the relationship type
zoedivision[m]
oh I got you
if you're creating a cover relationship, it's going to be Recording (the cover) -> Work (what they covered)
duckfromdisc[m]
you think using the ones with ISRC would make sense to merge into?
at this point after reading the history i'm not entirely convinced there needs to be a merge when i could swear i had a firm opinion 5 minutes ago...
orangebot
Yeah, I saw that with a few other songs I was using as reference. The trouble is that the song being covered is considered a "recording", so I can't use a cover-type relationship.
duckfromdisc[m]
ok you know what? hopefully this becomes votable and if no one likes it it'll just get voted down
zoedivision[m]
I'm pretty sure that sort of edit isn't an auto-edit, but you can check 'enable voting on all edits' just to be sure.
duckfromdisc[m]
this is gonna be a huge waste of time if downvoted
i have " Update the recording title to match the track title." off but in the edit note it seems to add the (2)s
> well for a start I see that some of the recordings have ISRCs attached and some don't........ I'd merge into the one with ISRC
apparently the reasoning behind the split to begin with was ISRCs
but i dont quite get it, i still dont think having separate recordings for the same actual audio makes sense at all
zoedivision[m]
yeah that's pretty weird.
duckfromdisc[m]
maybe it's an editor bug?

that title should remain and i wonder if it would after the actual edit happens
OK i see, it's tracklist vs recordings
but yeah, i don't see why ISRCs should decide that
zoedivision[m]
@orangebot, yes it appears (at a quick glance) that nobody's yet created a Work for that particular recording
duckfromdisc[m]
maybe that was just the release and not the tracks having the barcode thing
look ill just hit submit and at worst i lost ~15 min time i couldve been doing homework
orangebot
Ah, ok. Then I've just got to make a work for it.
zoedivision[m]
yep (:
very cool song by the way (the original)
user03 joined the channel
very similar in aesthetic to some of Haruomi Hosono's synth projects
duckfromdisc[m]
let's see how this goes
orangebot
I actually have not heard the original yet. Just ran into the cover I linked earlier today.
duckfromdisc[m]
so do these recordings get deleted?
if the edit passes, the ones that were "duplicates"
steering joined the channel
otherwise someone's gonna have to add a disambig to each of these recordings and it's not gonna be me
zoedivision[m]
if you merged that's non-destructive
duckfromdisc[m]
i have a feeling im gonna get downvoted here
user03 has quit
minimal has quit
orangebot
Oh boy, I think I'm over complicating this for myself. It's been half an hour and I'm 4 Wikipedia articles deep on what a "raga" is to make sure the "type" is correct for this work.
