as i said in the thread that missed the mailing list.. I am for the addition of adding purevolume.com AR/links to artists (not to mention I've requested something identical a while ago but never followed through on mb-style - http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/1478 ) tomorrow will mark one week

i like your suggestion more than alternative or whatever square peg people are trying to pound into a round hole. again i point out that we need to call things what they are or else we will continue to create confusing BadTermonology which creates communication issues in the long run. call

yes. go to the site and click on music. where is livejournal.coms section regarding music? (hint: there isn't one.) Ilya Kasnacheev wrote: Well, does MySpace actually deal with music (not just artists or musicians who have accounts)? If so, how does it do that? 2006/8/11, Brian G

personally I'd rather see work on URL ARs put into the ability to link to *music* related sites such as purevolume.com or indie911.com or mp3.com or The Podsafe Music Network or garageband.com I think having the MySpace AR is acceptable since MySpace is a site that deals _a lot_ with music and

is virtual really the best name for the release type? rather than using a word and forcing a new meaning why not call it what it really is.. a translation. i don't think mb needs anymore confusing BadTerminology if there are reasons to not call it something besides virtual, i'd love to hear them.

[mb-style] Unicode tagging issues?

i'm reading http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/VirtualDuplicateRelease if a release has a track with a pi symbol in it's title than the release needs to be entered into MB twice? (once for the symbol, and once as a translation that read pi) i can sort of understand entering a new release for a

so? they're basically the same thing where one is literal and one isn't. if they're two different things than why even lump them together under a word that is Bad? why not (again) call things what they are rather than forcing new meanings to words that don't apply.. create translation and

if you didn't want discussion on your proposal (which indeed contains the creation of virtual as a release type) than you perhaps should not have requested comments. measure twice, cut once -Brian Nikki wrote: On Wed, Aug 09, 2006 at 01:37:00PM -0700, Brian G. wrote: so? they're
