That doesn't necessarily seem like a bad thing. For certain kinds of releases there are many translations, both official and unofficial. I don't want those mixed up, so it seems easier to consider the entire tracklist as a unit. Releases with identical tracklists use the same tracklist entry in the database, so translating the tracklist on one release would already make that translation available to other releases "for free". -- kuno. _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
