"Shorter is better". Yes, I can understand that. Being new to MB, I don't have the tagging background (though I do use it to tag, too). It is rather that as a database programmer, when I see users start using rules like "in this case this field should be read thus, but in that case it should be read this way", alarm bells start ringing in my head. I don't listen to soundtracks, so the issue doesn't really matter to me. If the users are happy... -- Frederic Da Vitoria _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
