[mb-style] Album attributes

2006-05-01 Thread Bogdan Butnaru

I just came up (actually, it's just the first time I noticed) on an
album that is a compilation of live tracks:
http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4715100 (there's a link with
details in it's relationships, I think).

This made it occur to me that live and compilation are not really
mutually exclusive. Perhaps we should have a live compilation
attribute? That will allow to mark things as a compilation without
needing to put (live) on all tracks.

Or is this going through an overhaul anyway?

Instead of adding all possible combinations seperate, I would like to
have the album attributes selectable. There are Remix Compilations,
Live EPs, and so on arround.

Not sure - but there's already something in work - http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ReleaseTypeRestructuringDiscussion -

Ah but that's a big difference:

On the album you see the reverse link phrase was recorded by  
Celldweller. And you see it in the context of the album.


But on the artist page you don't and this is what can cause confusion.

A solution would be to rephrase the artist-album phrase only, and to  
leave the album-artist phrase the way it is.


Something like [artist] was recording engineer for [album]

[mb-style] Style Secretary Buffer Overflow

2006-05-01 Thread Don Redman

Hi everybody,

I have finally moved to Darmstadt. There is still a lot of stuff to do,  
but at least I am online again.


Is there anything buried in my 162 unread mails of mb-style that needs my  
special attention? If so, please tell me and cc the reply to me in person.


If not, would the position of the style secretary have become unneccesary?  
I'd love that.


I hope I catch up reading the list this week. And I want to ask again: Is  
there somebody who would want to become style secretary for the next 3--6  
months? If not, then I will slowly step back from my position within the  
next month, and will hope that the community is self organized enough to  
support itself.

see my point number 2) for why i don't think 'engineer' should be
written in any place for this role - it doesn't always refer to an
engineer role.

something like did the recording for maybe? i don't know, but no
'engineer', please!

Maybe you should outline the duties of this position.I guess most people 
around wouldn't know exactly what to do ...

Yes, with {executive:executive } it is possible. Additional co-executive 
producer, hehe. Whoever finds that in some liner notes will receive 5 bars of finest 
chocolate from me!

I think now we outlined nearly every possible solution. Could everyone please 
tell what they prefer? I want to see this closed...


i prefer artist {additionally} {co-}{executive:executive }produced
album or track but like i said, i'm not particularly bothered about
their being a potential impossible combination (additional
co-executive producer), and i think it's better to have that 'risk'
and keep all attribs in the same place.

i am all for some kind of selective album attributes restructuring!
to me this has been a long time coming and should be addressed. it's
something that I've had trouble with very early on.
does anyone know the status of any proposals that touch on this subject?
Any way to get that whole thing going?
