Re: [mb-style] RFC: Add Latvian National Cinema Museum to the work database whitelist
Hello, For theater plays and movies I create the MusicBrainz works as Song Cycle. Then I can link individual songs as being part of that movie or theater play. Probably it was not the intended use case for song cycle, but until there is more direct way it works just fine for tracking soundtracks. Additionally I use tags soundtrack, theater, musical to mark these works as soundtracks and add disambiguation text to say from which play/movie it is. Probably more direct support for that can be added in MB in future. For example 1973 movie Pūt, vējiņi! with Imants Kalniņš music: http://musicbrainz.org/work/72d20747-8974-45f7-8924-74b8756357dc And for same artist I think I've added all soundtracks (except some animated movies): http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=type%3ASong-cycle+AND+artist%3AImants+Kalni%C5%86%C5%A1type=worklimit=25method=advanced All musical/movie/theater play databases can be useful because they may contain the first release date, music/lyrics authors and sometimes performers of the songs. Most likely everything else is not relevant for MusicBrainz. What I currently miss is the possibility to sort works in chronological order, but there is ticket for that MBS-5714 Just my 2 cents how I use current MB features to store soundtrack related info.

Selecting a type isn't required, so *please* just add them without a type (and if you want a soundtrack work type, send an RFC for it - I at least would certainly +1 that). And please remove the type for any works on http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=type%3A%22song-cycle%22+AND+lang%3Alavtype=worklimit=25method=advancedwhich are not actual song cycles. If you're going to propose soundtrack as a type, then you can probably wait a bit to see if it's accepted and you can change them to soundtrack directly, but please, please, please, do *not* add more soundtracks as song cycles. -- Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
Re: [mb-style] RFC: Add Latvian National Cinema Museum to the work database whitelist
+1 for the RFC. I'm always happy to see more data related to film scores or any type of soundtracks in MusicBrainz. I'm planning to make an RFC about adding soundtrackcollector.com to our whitelist but will wait until some open proposals are closed. I agree with reosarevok and recommend not to use wrong types for anything. Tags should be good enough until we get something better. You can use works to group pieces together like you already have done, but then just don't select an invalid type for them. Argument against my proposal related to film score type was that there would be too many work types listed. Seems that in this music encyclopedia we could have too much information. Just try adding a new artist and you'll notice how none of the fields are related to music ;) - ListMyCDs On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 2:01 PM, Dainis Jonitis joni...@gmail.com wrote: Site (in Latvian) http://www.nfc.lv/lmdb/index/ It contains detailed information about Latvian movies. ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
