I'm not following the explanation above, frankly. Even reading the example
I snipped out, I'm not following the explanation.
What really want to understand, and don't, is what steps a contributor
should take, who has a box set in their hand, and no clue about other
releases or box sets.
How will they know what existing MB entries to look for? What should they
do with them if they find them?
How will they know which of the CDs in the box have been released in the
past? How will they know how to group the CDs? What text on the box or in
the insert do they look for?
