Hello! Having trouble with a few tracks on this Radiohead bootleg I made… specifically #18 No Surprises… because I find it very difficult to link these popular songs to their official album entry.
You just get endless options for live shows and other bootlegs. What am I doing wrong?
You can directly paste the link to the official recording into the search bar and it will automatically select it for you.
This is just a home-made playlist from some article.
If you want, you can link this article as a review of OK Computer and In Rainbows release groups.
If you really want, you can make a recording series for this playlist.
But this fake release should be removed.
I was about to say the same. This should be removed. It’s not a real release.
Can you explain further how to make a recording series for this playlist? Like Radiohead, the band Tool has some fun secrets with some of their albums, where things are played in a certain order to discover something new.
So how can I create these on MusicBrainz? Because I like having all of my music matched up officially.
Click Create series in the Editing menu. Make it a Recording series Type. Link all the recordings you want. And there is a way to fix the ordering, but just try it out to find out how (I forgot).
Click the ‘add relationship’ plus button, and then copy in links to the musicbrainz recording pages.
You can remove the ‘founder’ relationship, that’s not quite right here, and it will be obvious that it’s a list of tool songs by nature of the list 
Ok thanks so much for taking the time to help!
I’m about right here with the track list, but it doesn’t let me organize them. As I added the tracks in the new order, the system just puts them in alphabetical order.
What should I do next?
This new track listing is a re-arrangement of the 2001 album, Lateralus.
Maybe I just press Enter from here, and lock it in?
And then I can re-order the tracks after? I don’t want to clog up things with incorrect entries created.
Click the little pencil icon next to each recording, and you can set the order there (by putting a number in the ‘Number’ field).
You might then need to change Ordering type to automatic? I can’t remember, ordering type still confuses me >.>
But just go ahead and try it, you can always change it later!
Exactly! The confusing thing is that, for ordering manually by Number, you have to select Automatic ordering.
I don’t remember what is the Manual ordering, I think it’s automatic. 
Manual ordering is where you get little arrow icons to change the order manually.
Automatic ordering is where the list gets sorted by the value in the sort field.
I think for this case manual ordering wod be simpler. Automatic ordering is useful in cases where each item comes with some sortable property already, such as issue number.
Excellent!
But here, while the series is in Manual ordering mode, we don’t see arrows to move the recordings, do we?
The track list ordering is still a bit confusing, because when you click the pencil, only this little window pops up. I couldn’t see anything about the order. I toggled Automatic and Manual to see if there was any indication, but didn’t notice it.
So I pushed it through from here, creating this:

What should I do from here? Thank you!
Not sure what you managed to do…
You need the box to look like this:
Click Add Relationship, pastw in a Recording, select the Type as Recording, and relationship “Part of”. Then you can set the order numbers.
I have added one to the series so you can see where it should go. I am not sure how you made that list you made… but that is not a series.

Ok just when I thought I completed it correctly, something bugged out –
I know for a fact I put this thing in the exact order I needed, but it then skipped one song and duplicated the song “Disposition”!
Notice it has no #1 track, missing the song “Parabol” – not to be confused with Parabola.
When I tried to fix it (see photo), it won’t let me do anything.
Oddly enough, just found an old entry for this here:
https://musicbrainz.org/release/ea03d37b-a222-4ccd-91bf-b41909eff324
That’s what the track order should be for my playlist.
