> Hello, I have recently added “Demos Vol. II” by Lauren O’Connell to Musicbrainz ([https://musicbrainz.org/release/b80e59c2-551f-494a-9315-b73b2ff91221](https://musicbrainz.org/release/b80e59c2-551f-494a-9315-b73b2ff91221)).

> I am seeing more and more artists releasing albums song by song, i.e. updating a release with new songs every week or month. One example is from this edit: [https://musicbrainz.org/edit/63080893](https://musicbrainz.org/edit/63080893) I think we need to have a discussion on how to enter these releases (I apologize if it’s been discussed already but I couldn’t find anything in the forum/documentation). Some people recommend adding a new release on every update, but IMHO I it doesn’t make much sense – especially since most of these rel…
