I’ve check the artist boxes and medium formats a dozen times. I have no idea what the error could be. I searched “tracklist error” in both the documentation and here. I couldn’t find a list of possible errors. ![medium1](https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/e/aeb04880146dc0e0585bcd95d9960f26d802454d.jpeg) ! ![medium2](https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/original/3X/a/0/a051230b6ef5b4cfb7ce4fec4ce8619b46f5c9fa.jpeg) ! ![medium3](https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/original/3X/4/7/47d6131b5f3fad36703f114f1871db16ab26b7a8.jpeg) !

When you click through to the greyed out artists (with the edit button), each artist is correctly linked to an artist in the DB? I have had weird errors before and when I added the whole thing again it worked 😥 ---

For anyone who has this problem in the future, here’s what happened: One of my tracks was a MegaMix, with lots of different artists mashed into the one track (but no idea who the mixer was). I used the “Various Artists” artist on the the track. When the track was parsed, “Various Artists” immediately matched. **However** , when you use “Various Artists” on a track, there is a warning prompt you must complete. ![warning](https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/original/3X/3/7/37fe592c818b73902be00ce816869c92cdf5c9c8.jpeg) The prompt didn’t show up from the parsed match. Since the box wasn’t ticked, I kept getting an error-but not getting the warning prompt. Once I disconnected and reconnected the “Various Artists” match, I got the prompt and was able to add the release. ---

Yes, I used the Discogs importer _Discogs import script from_ [https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts](https://github.com/murdos/musicbrainz-userscripts). I also started a new release (that I didn’t save) and tried it via manual entry. That is how I discovered the prompt. Edited because my first reply was a misrememberance. ---

Ok so maybe the simplest would be that the importer would not validate Various Artists artist on tracks.
