Re: [mb-style] background vocal -> backing vocal
well, i've seen it listed more as 'backing' than 'background' so i reckon the change was valid. i don't think there's any real difference between the two though, it's just preference.

Technically it is possible, and we have a report [1] to find them. :) The two situations I can think of are if someone adds a track, adds a disc ID and the add track fails or if someone removes a track, adds a disc ID and the remove track is applied. However, it is more of a glitch in the order things are done, we wouldn't be able to easily let disc IDs be associated to albums with a different number of tracks without also making it very easy to assign disc IDs to a release with a different number of audio tracks... if I made sense. :) --Nikki [1] http://musicbrainz.org/reports/generated/BrokenDiscIDs/ ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
