I just checked and yeah, all e-onkyo music links are now invalid. I’ve seen bots go through and end other sites that have gone under. Not sure how to create bots, so if someone wants to do that, that’d be cool.

Yep, e-onkyo shut down for good on the 16th of last month. Bit of a shame… while Qobuz still has a lot of the extra per-track relationship metadata that e-onkyo had (such as instrumental performers, studio personnel, etc.), Qobuz has normalized its copies of the related artists’ names to English/romaji—even if you use the Japanese language setting for Qobuz!—whereas e-onkyo didn’t do that at all.

Does this also apply to onkyomusic[dot]com urls? Not sure if they were the same platform, but currently the link leads to a scam site and should probably be bulk removed from releases.

Just mark it as ended. No need to remove the links.

I meant ended, removing does seem like too far. But shouldn’t these have been included in the original bulk marking that happened with the e-onkyo.com urls?
I’m not sure onkyomusic[dot]com URLs were ever related to e-onkyo. For one thing, those are distinctly different brand names; for another, the URL pattern for e.g. releases is very, very different. So, it makes sense that these were not in scope for the bulk mark-as-ended edits back in 2024. I’d definitely support a bulk mark-as-ended set of edits for these, though.

Did some research, they shut down on October 6th, 2019.
