If these are covers sourced from official sources or streaming services I would just upload the original with no changes. For something like your own scans format would be up to you. People downloading can do any re-compressing or other changes they deem necessary for their own files.

cpli: yes you can add each track's artwork to the album, and select the track checkmark

the enhanced cover art uploads script does this automatically, and adds a comment indicating which track it's for
(i'm inclined to add the missing media, i just wonder if i'm missing something myself :-)

ivy: in the release group there are 3 different CD releases, all with different number of media and tracks, and all with different barcodes. Perhaps there are really different releases of this CD? Do you have a copy in hand with 5 CDs?

Vacuity: i do not have a physical copy in hand, but since this release lists 5 cat#, i think it is the 5xCD release (Out of Line usually do one cat# per CD)

ivy: ah, I see, the OUT 830 to OUT 849... but then, without access to the physical release, or another trustworthy source I would not add anything to this release
I'm not deep enough into the specifics of MB yet to give valid advice on this situation. I could imagine it would be OK to add the 2 audiobook CDs as media, if the necessary information is available form a trustworthy source (and ideally with DiscIds)

otoh it could also be sufficient to add an annotation to this release regarding the two audio books CDs
2025-04-26 11641, 2025
ivy
perhaps i will add them as a votable edit

Discogs in the "barcode and other identifiers" secions has the matrix and catalog numbers of each CD, so it should be possible to add this information to MB without access to the physical discs. all that is missing then would be the DiscIds
