For deluxe editions of an album, should the "deluxe edition" be part of the name or the disambiguation?... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/chatbrainz.org/yojaMbJCosskuQXmAsVzOVNJ>)
Looks good houtens (IRC) ! I’ve removed the CD tracks from the digital media release as well :)

I think it was fine to copy over the AcoustID, and to use them for the track lengths

CD tracks containing more than one discrete recording

I've even seen one or two discs with an obvs mastering error where what should have been two separate tracks got sequenced into one long track

i see, a workaround would be to create a new recording and link that to the original two recordings ("compilation of")

Too much work for too little benefit IMO, but I may be convinced otherwise once there are tools actually making use of that data.

Currently most of the stuff I add is not picking up on LB automatically because Spotify sends with artist credits in Latin script or tracks in Latin script VS what is in the database.

Personally I add them because I like having the full metadata present, and it could be useful for like... 2 people?

Joking aside, it's useful for linktree type stuff, since I'm making something like that as a booster shot for my web dev knowledge

If I could import those URLs directly to my files with picard then I might be convinced though...

To me it's like ISRCs. I don't need them, but it exists so I add. Even more that YoMo's open all scripts makes it easy

Would it be appropriate to merge releases that are essentially identical, just with different release events/labels?

Like if even the barcodes are still the same between regions

IMO the distinction is whether the packaging for each label is different - if the packaging is the same (it's the same SKU) then it's the same release
2025-06-18 16923, 2025
Piper[m]
I don't know how that applies to digital media though

dvirtz (@_discord_491523503388884993:chatbrainz.org) and @Piper currently LB does not search for alias or alternate track titles.

<zoedivision[m]> "Would it be appropriate to merge..." <- I'm guessing that if the label was different, the coverart would also be different, thus triggering a separate release.
2025-06-18 16929, 2025
zoedivision[m]
I'm presuming we mean not so much the cover art per se, as print on the spine, back, disc, etc wherever the label info shows
2025-06-18 16923, 2025
zoedivision[m]
my inner Occam would much prefer keeping these kinds of instances as one item, but yknow, c'est la vie
would be appropriate to list all three of them as labels?

There were some discrepancies when I disambiguated artists manually instead of referencing the other release these recordings came from, so I would appreciate a second pair of eyes
zoe.division: hard no for merging releases with different labels. Particularly physical media? The packaging has to be different, e.g. a different label logo?
2025-06-18 16923, 2025
aerozol[m]
Any difference in artwork, including disc, back, etc, is a new physical release
2025-06-18 16952, 2025
Piper[m]
hell, there's an argument for a pre-autographed copy being a separate release
2025-06-18 16949, 2025
aerozol[m]
Hmm interesting, I guess so! If it was sold as a separate item and has collectors value. I don’t know if I would bother though :D
2025-06-18 16932, 2025
Piper[m]
I'd only bother if I were already adding multiple different releases for a release group (e.g. different vinyl colors or something) and saw an autographed copy as a separate SKU on a record store website or something
