Brahms Variations on a Theme of Paganini op. 35": http://musicbrainz.org/release/14b65335-57a1-4dbf-aa22-8a4d1dfe980d The track list of the CD in hand has a different naming of the variations/movements of this work: http://musicbrainz.org/release/e42822f3-f517-4830-9a21-fe24b8ecc35e This listing is in line with what we can find on Allmusic: http://allmusic.com/work/variations-28-on-a-theme-of-paganini-for-piano-in-a-minor-op-35-c129207/parts-movements and other like: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/classic/detail/-/art/Johannes-Brahms-1833-1897-Paganini-Rhapsodien-op-35/hnum/5873410. The question I have is, what has to be done to make the correct ARs? If I just relate the variations the movements of the recordings and that of the works would not match! I will not do that. Who has a good advice on how I should proceed.

It appears that it should have already been applied as it has reached the expiration time with only positive votes, but it is just sitting there. Is there something I can do or is this a bug of some kind? Thanks!

I have outsourced the ripping of my 1500 CD Jazz collection. The albums have been tagged from internet databases and with manual input. The albums are uniformly tagged. I would like to contribute to the MB database with this CD collection. I'm looking for advices on the way to do this. Given the large number of albums I'm looking for batch mode.

I'm struggling to figure out what is correct. Here's what I've found so far: http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=hawaiian+roller+coaster+ride&amp;type=recording&amp;method=indexed is a search for the song title, and brings up a number of choirs credited: Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus North Shore Children's Choir Key Cygnetures TOWER New Zealand Youth Choir I have the album Lilo &amp; Stitch [1], which credits the song to Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus [2]. Amazon, at [3], which is the album Now That's What I Call: Disney! ([4]), credits the song to Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu/North Shore Children's Choir &amp; Key Cygnetures, and MB adds TOWER New Zealand Youth Choir to that.

The unique identifiers at the end of the URL is the external identifier for the Rovi DB. So, for example, 'The Antlers' are at http://www.allrovi.com/name/mn0000739713 and within the Rovi database, one would query based off of 'MN0000739713' to retrieve information. The URL is exposed to the public so I assume it is okay. Currently, Allmusic.com URLs are accepted as a clearly defined URL type, but that does not use the Rovi external ID type. For my own research, it is useful to have these IDs. If the URLs are inserted into MusicBrainz DB, then one could theoretically translate from Rovi DB information to MusicBrainz DB without too much hassle. An example 'album' in Rovi is here (http://www.allrovi.com/music/album/mw0000814003) for 'Hospice' by The Antlers. The album concept in Rovi is similar to 'release group' and there are releases within the album hierarchy in Rovi.

To briefly summarize MBS-4561, the problem is that currently disambiguation strings appear larger than surrounding text, when displayed in release recording relationships. The solution given in the code review is to now make disambiguation comments *smaller* than surrounding text, but I think this is equally inconsistent. My preferred solution is to not make disambiguation comments anything other than different coloured text, and to not change their size at all. This would mean that disambiguation comments are always the same size as surrounding text. I need to get other people's help to decide which implementation we use. Do we: a) Use Pavan's work and have disambiguation comments 80% of the surrounding text Or do we b) Remove any special font-size rules from disambiguation comments entirely, and have the same size as adjacent text. I'm voting for a.

At that time I only entered the track lists, not more. Now I have started to do the relations and because of the 100 CDs the release is built of, this is kind of a pain. At least on my end of the line everything I want to do on the release is terribly slow. The loading of the release alone is endless and 4 to 6 times a timeout is asking me if I want to wait or stop the download. I suppose everyone else who is going to use this release will encounter the same issue. Therefore I'm thinking of splitting this release. This is not a foreseen way to build releases but because of the described issues with the existing release I feel that something has to be done to make the work more practical. I was thinking of either splitting the release into 100 parts (one for each CD) or some other partitioning, let's say parts of 25 or something else.

Flactag is a tagger for whole-CD FLAC files with embedded CUE sheets, using data retrieved from the MusicBrainz service. This release provides support for the new 'NGS' web service at MusicBrainz. I am also happy to welcome Daniel Pocock to the project. Daniel has modified the build system to use autotools, as well as providing fixes and general support during the development of this version. The software is available to download via SourceForge: http://flactag.sourceforge.net. Full source is available via a git repository, also hosted at SourceForge. git://flactag.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/flactag/flactag The checksums of the file are as follows: MD5: 9d18ec8c7463792ed36d55218a83371f SHA224: c622ee35dbd4d2c2f4ea3c7ff6816a39bd5788d8893189d9f33ffaf3 This release is tagged in the git repository as '2.0.1'. The commit ID is 6b6db05bf5737c30e63d2074467a7c02e53c23c0 I trust that you will find flactag a useful tool.

Or do people think you should wait adding them until you are able and ready to add the track lists to them as well? Personally I would welcome such additions, just like a release is welcome even if you don't have added its barcode, or a work even if you haven't added the lyricist, etc. (Of course it's even better if that info is added as well, and hopefully it will be later.) I think this could come up now and then, for example to get a listing of singles from an artist where you know names and release dates, but not what was on the B-side. </pre> Per Starbäck 2012-03-08T13:22:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.musicbrainz.user/21315 <pre>I noticed that picard is frequently but not always chopping the end of the filename off when saving and renaming a new set of files.

I think I'm not alone on thinking the relationships should be given more importance when navigating MB, especially for things like classical composers and performers (for performers, right now, you'd almost think none of them ever did anything looking at the overview page).

He's commented an official guideline supporting it here&lt;http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles/Extra_title_information&gt; . I was curious if this guideline (of which I wasn't aware of) is out of date since I was of the opinion that that the disambiguation comment was the place to put such information in the case of same titled track/recording/release titles.

It couldn't find the CD in Musicbrainz, so I entered all the track information and ripped the disk. I then logged into Musicbrainz and selected 'Submit track names..." On Musicbrainz, it took me to the 'Matching CDs' page. I entered 'Peter Banks' in the artist search. It showed me Peter was already in the database. I selected him and it showed me a page with the tracks from the CD, but not exactly as I had entered them. So it was already in the database. "Please select the medium you wish to attach the CD TOC to" "TOC" is not in the beginners guide definitions. I'm guessing 'table of contents', but it could be anything.

In particular I would like definitions of "promotion", "official" and "pseudorelease". A few examples: is a promotion a vinyl record, or cd that is ONLY given to DJs for free for airplay, or does it include albums, created, and distributed (either free or at nominal cost) to "promote" a particular, company, brand, service or charity? Often albums in the second instance are issued as "special products" by the label (Columbia Special Products) and have limited distribution (exclusively by a retail outlet with their brand name or logo on the packaging). So are these official or promotion? Next, what is the difference between a "pseudo-release" and a "mixtape" (user-generated compilation)? I have seen a few things entered as pseudo-releases entered and I am unclear as to why they would merit inclusion. Many sites are now offering digital only mp3 compilations with cover art.
