Thanks; I didn't see this. A seems like the same solution but going down a level instead of up. Sadly it would need an entire schema change as mediums/tracklists, for some bizarre reason, weren't made into MB entities. B is what I'm proposing. C is the kludge Nicolas proposes above which doesn't actually solve the problem as the duplicate ARs are still created. It just reduces the work slightly. D I like because it makes the result more tractable; you don't have to go up to tracklist/release/RG-level to get all the ARs and they apply to the recording when it appears on a completely different release. The only problem I see there is that it doesn't solve the problem for ARs that do need to be at release group level; exec. producer, artwork, etc. It just works for the 'assistant engineers with no assigned tracks' and, even then, how would it deal with an existing more-specific AR already being there? So what I'm proposing (B) seems the right solution, given the issues with D. A would be preferable but we basically need a redesign on the level of NGS to get it. > and that ticket http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-603 > Yeah, I know about this and commented on it. I actually filed a similar bug which was marked as a dupe of this (being specific to the DJ mix/compiled by issue). I really don't understand why mediums were explicitly created as something outside the usual entity hierarchy. If they had MBIDs, we could very easily add ARs to them now, even if they had none to start with. > > -- > View this message in context: > http://musicbrainz.1054305.n4.nabble.com/ARs-on-release-release-groups-tp4621989p4622498.html > Sent from the Musicbrainz - Style mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > _______________________________________________ > 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
