I want my tags to contain "Magnetic Fields, Part 1", which is the title localized for the release that I have, but normalized according to the usual MB guidelines. >> 2. http://musicbrainz.org/recording/c59cbf07-eab6-46e3-a68c-ffaebef21f2c >> http://musicbrainz.org/recording/6f7e213c-81cb-419d-9cfd-6912b74620a2 >> -- These are really the same recordings, but the remixes are named >> slightly differently on different releases.

Let's assume one says "No Good (Start the Dance) [CJ Bolland's Museum mix]" and the other one says "No Good (Start the Dance) (CJ Bolland's mix)". With as-on-cover track titles, I'm forced to use recording titles. If I use recording titles, I can only use one variant on all releases. >> 3. http://musicbrainz.org/recording/3d953e11-c417-4034-a5d1-d0f41405337e >> -- Disambiguation information like "(live)" shouldn't really be part >> of the recording title, because it's inconsistent with live releases >> that usually do not explicitly mention that.

What I'm saying that the recording shouldn't have "(live)" in the title. It should be moved to the disambiguation comment. But the recording is included in a release that explicitly marks is as "Death of the Prodigy Dancers (live)". I want my tracks to have "Death of the Prodigy Dancers (live)", not "Death of the Prodigy Dancers". On the other hand, if the concert from which the track is was released, I would want it as "Death of the Prodigy Dancers" in the context of the live release. >> 4. http://musicbrainz.org/recording/d1623f2f-e59f-478d-988a-48bfa14a2100 >> http://musicbrainz.org/recording/3b6fa084-0863-4791-8c3e-f4abf549afa7 >> -- Same recording, but has "original mix" included on the single >> release. > > Are these the same master (indistinguishable by ear) or do they sound > different? I wouldn't merge recordings that sound different. :) Lukas _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
