Add Spotify link to release group

obelischi · September 27, 2023, 7:41am

I’d like to add links to Spotify album pages for several “Realize groups”. I go to “Edit”, I add the URL but in the type select I can’t find a way to insert that it is a link to Spotify, I only see a small list of generic entries that do not correspond to what I intend. Can anyone help me? Thank you

I think I understand why it doesn’t recognize the type of link. Going into a Realise of the list and entering the Spotify URL correctly adds the type. Thank you

I don’t think we are supposed to link physical releases to download album pages: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/104125215
I have also removed your link from the release group.

Thanks for the reply. I apologize, after understanding how it works I forgot to delete the link from the Release group page.

Hey!

i came with solution…

Struggling to add Spotify links to ‘Realize groups’ on the Edit page – can’t find a specific option in the type select menu. Seeking guidance on how to accurately label it as a Spotify link. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Spotify album URLs belong at release-level:
