I’m trying to add a Spotify link toa release(https://musicbrainz.org/release/7bb82301-3028-4c86-98ae-f84670339239) of a single but adding the link https://open.spotify.com/track/0dBatmVHLJ1fmX027R80JH in the edits of the release tells me “This URL is not allowed for releases.” Adding the same link on the only track in this release works though. Should I add the external links to the track instead? Is this a bug?

You are trying to add the “track” url instead of the release URL.
Like musicbrainz, spotify got two urls, one for the track, the other for the album.
- https://open.spotify.com/album/… → Release
- https://open.spotify.com/track/… → Recording
I see there’s already a spotify URL on the release too. Be careful of not adding a new url to a different release (You can use harmony to check the barcodes)

Thanks for the hint. I realised that I kept circling back to Spotify’s URL for the track rather than the distinct one for the release when gathering the links. I corrected the link in the release since that was just the link to the track but with “track” replaced by “album” which leads to a 404.
