thing is, my suggestion of this change was entirely because of interpretation - 'recorded by' is rarely (read: almost never) referred to as 'recording engineered by' - i wanted to enter credits from my album sleeves and i couldn't find 'recorded by', which is IMO very unintuitive. IMO "recorded by" would be understood better than 'recording engineered by' in almost all cases. it's simply what's written on sleeves. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
