I have a question. I’ve listened to an album (Thrash Anthems by Destruction) a few times, and almost all the songs are from a different release. I understand that the songs that appear on this album already existed on other albums, which were composed many years ago. But these are re-recordings and not a compilation album. So, when someone added the album to the database, were the songs linked to the other releases? Or what’s really generating this error? If you try to manually link them to the album, it doesn’t work either. So I want to understand why the system is doing this because if you think about it, it’s generating erroneous data by counting the songs to the wrong album. ex: I’m not listening to Mad Butcher from the Mad Butcher EP 1,000 times. I’m want to listening to Mad Butcher from Thrash Anthems 1,000 times. Is there a way to fix this?
This image belongs to part of the album’s tracklist, and as you can see, many songs don’t have counts because they’re added to the other albums.
For example, the first song, Bestial Invasion, if you click on it, it sends you to the album Infernal Overkill, where that song is number 5. But if you click “like” on the song from Thrash Anthems, the Infernal Overkill song doesn’t have the like “heart” activated.
Also, pro tip from someone in the same situation: dislike the wrong version. So if you see a liked track being disliked, it means it mapped to the wrong version.
(Carpenter Brut’s Live album siphon all the mappings and it’s really annoying)
And if in MB all these songs are assigned to new recordings, wouldn’t that solve the problem? i think if the version are different, ex re-recording or another source of origin of the track ex another mix or mastered, it’s okay that they are separated and belong to different albums.
Here someone use Eternal Ban (2005) Recording for this version too (they are different)
Did you use the “Manual Addition” feature or a scrobbler (if so which one)?
There’s an high chance that a scrobbler only sent “Eternal Ban” by “Destruction”, and LB didn’t knew what version it was, so it used the standalone ones instead.
Yes, I used the option to add them manually, thats work, but i don want to add them manually if i have Spotify connected. When some albums are not on Spotify, I use MusicBee with the plugin and MB Picard.
Is it possible that Spotify is not sending enough information for LB to recognize it properly?
“caa_release_mbid”: “e63ed382-e79b-4db5-ab82-d1ba1cf7a51f”
Well this mbid is this: Release “Infernal Overkill” by Destruction - MusicBrainz Vinyl Version and “release_mbid”: “ba1a9507-a114-4c63-92ad-9d62e9610d88” is a CD version @_@
the problem is if you try to link them to the correct realese it doesn’t work.
I have now entered dozens of albums in MB that do not appear in LB under the artist. At least not if there are already releases. I can call up and play the albums directly from MB. An option ‘Link with MusicBrainz’ is also not offered to me in LB.
Example: Release “En una cajita de oro” by Dueto San Martin - MusicBrainz
