RE: (313) Discogs marketplace disorganization
Talking of Discogs and searches, I've used a search now for some time that
Guy Thackeray tipped me off about (ta) after I asked on here ('cos I was too
stupid to read the how to search bit in their help); searching for a track
by entering
track:part of track title you are looking for
this was a super valuable tool for me. Pity it seems to have stopped
working then? Or is it just me doing something stupid? (this time I have
read the help).

yes, but at least the extra bits (mix CDs and such) are related in some
way
to the artist
you're not going to get unrelated Derrick Emerson records when looking
up
all the Derrick May stuff for sale
if you look up the label Chicago acid house label Underground
and then check all the records supposedly for sale you'll notice that
there's a ton of completely unrelated labels are thrown into the mix
you get:
Underground Resistance
Urban Underground UK
Underground Construction
Underground Quality
Underground, Inc.
Glasgow Underground
etc.
and you can't use the word Underground as a filter because it won't
filter out any of these
there's no way to separate the wheat from the chaff

Not only that...but if you want to look at releases by
an artist, you will also get all the MIX CDs and
compilations his or her tracks have appeared on. It
is super annoying. I really don't look for comps...
The Marketplace certainly could use some changes. But
all in all, it is pretty good. Much better than eBay.
The most annoying thing for me is the fact that
hardly any of the new releases that I want are for
sale in the US. Certainly that is not Discogs fault.

Re: (313) Discogs marketplace disorganization
you do realize you can then sort via label/year/etc. using the filters at the top of the page, right? there are admittedly not that many record labels that have one word common word titles. relax, take a deep breath, and use all the resources available to you. :) On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 5:02 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has it always been configured this way...?

Re: (313) Discogs marketplace disorganization
hmmm. yeah i see what you mean. i can't remember if it's always been like this or if it's something new/broken. still, if you know the artist you're looking for why not just search that way?
