What is "a drawback you have to cope with"? The web service returns recording titles, so these should be the most useful version of the title possible and contain the most sensible information across all releases. Where that's in doubt, that's why we have a voting process. including this > information would be MUCH worse; in worst case that would give you a > tracklist for an normal album release where every track has a "(album > version, XXXX remaster)" added. Agreed with those examples; see my post. There is ETI that should remain in the title; remix and edit titles. > also i think there are much fewer releases where the tracks need > disambiguation than the other way round. if you need to tag lots of such > releases (e.g. singles, anthologies) i guess it would be better to stick > with the original tracklist tagging than recording titles (or append > disambig. comments to the tracktitle if your tagger supports this). The thing with including such comments is that disambiguation is a very general field, and so using it can also introduce all sorts of rubbish. Maybe the long-term solution is to include an additional ETI field that could be used for edit/remix information. Whether that's worthwhile or not really depends on how many people want to detach it from the title. Personally, I'd just retrieve both and pair them back up again. I don't want all remixes of track X to be called simply "X". > > regards, lorenz. > > -- > > _______________________________________________ > MusicBrainz-style mailing list > MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org > http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style -- Andii :-) _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
