Machine readable. In my current musicbrainz related scripts I'm grouping multiple discs of a single release together based on their release titles. I have encountered many releases which don't neatly fit the (disc 1, disc 2) or (title, bonus disc) schemes, these releases confuse my script -- and instead of coding increasingly complicated heuristics it would be cleaner if I had _some_ structured way to record this information with musicbrainz and be able to query it. IMO, an AR for this is a simple solution which can be implemented now with relative ease, and will be easily converted to NGS whenever that materializes. -- kuno / warp. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
