Re: [mb-style] RFC: Improve Guidelines on Merging Recordings
2012/11/6 LordSputnik ben.s...@gmail.com Need some comments on the updated proposal. No-one seems to have noticed it's been updated, although I sent a message about it. There's feedback from hawke / alex above? My thoughts: - there's a part about conflicting relationships in the current guideline, but it's not in your proposal? - IMO it's sometimes too technical. ie. people vs. devices, has audio restoration been used etc. - you're still mixing tracks, releases, recordings in this guideline about merging recordings. (point 4 is almost incomprehensible to me). You keep repeating the phrase tracks should use separate recordings. it's confusing because we don't have a track entity in musicbrainz. I would much prefer a straight merge / don't merge approach. Extending the RFC period until Friday, 9th November. FWIW I usually reset the RFC clock when updating a proposal. I also believe we need time to sort out what we want from recordings, and maybe define what unique audio means. /symphonick ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
Re: [mb-style] RFC: Improve Guidelines on Merging Recordings
2012/11/5 Alex Mauer ha...@hawkesnest.net This guideline wouldn’t split shellac/vinyl/tape. It would split a single analog version which we can’t compare objectively with others, from any number of digital versions which we *can* compare objectively with others. In theory maybe we could, but not in practice. Voters would need access to all files, we must have a well-defined test procedure - and agree on how to interpret the results, and there's the question about room, equipment ears again. IMO we can absolutely compare audio, but only regarding significant changes, like the 3rd solo is cut from the intro or there's no cowbell in this mix. /symphonick ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
[mb-style] RFV: Officially deprecate the cover art relationship
From the RFC: Now that we've officially released the Cover Art Archive, I'd like to propose that we also officially deprecate the cover art relationship. The existing relationships can stay of course until covers have been added to the Cover Art Archive, it would just mean that no new relationships could be added. It would also not affect the Amazon relationship. As far as I can tell, the concerns that were brought up were already addressed. In particular, as Nicolás mentioned, people are not actually using the cover art relationship to add GIFs and PNGs and support for them in the Cover Art Archive is already planned. Ticket: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-158 Expected expiration date: 2012-11-08 Nikki ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
