That would avoid the issue of what to do with the many (CDs and LPs) that are now identified as paper packaging when it's actually cardboard. I rarely have seen a (thin) paper sleeve as the main packaging (it's common for the inner sleeve on LPs of course). I've only seen it in magazine issues, and even then it's often light cardboard. For that reason I'd assumed that "paper" packaging included cardboard, and have tagged many albums (both CDs and vinyl) that way. If we just redefine paper as you suggest, there's no need to revisit everything already tagged as 'paper'. That would avoid invalidating existing package values; I doubt I was the only one flagging cardboard as paper. How prevalent is the use of paper (not cardboard) sleeves, anyways? In my experience, they're non-existent for official releases. Cardboard sleeves are quite common, though, especially for low volume releases. I'm not very familiar with other markets though. > --Torc. > > _______________________________________________ > MusicBrainz-style mailing list > MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org > http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
