Secondly even if the data has errors it is surely easier to modify an existing release that is nearly right than to add all that data manually in the first place. I understand your wish for more up to date entries, there aren’t many who wouldn’t like that. But I do not share your opinion that bad entry is better than none because it is easier to correct later. Corrections always (for regular editors, not the super ones) go thru the voting process which can take 6 or 7 days. So when I tag a new release and it is badly incorrect, I spend time correcting it and then I have to wait for a week before I can actually use it. In the other scenario, a release I want is not in the database, I uses various users scripts to add it, make an effort that editing is correct and I can use it immediately. It takes me 15 minutes or so to add a new simple release OR I need to correct an existing release and wait 7 days before it’s effective. I’m all for a volume, off page, API style new releases adds - but on MBNZ terms. After all Discogs already exists (I don’t think they have API feed from labels either) and one can use Discogs as they have more releases and get them quicker that MBNZ. I tried and had to say thank you, but not good enough. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/how-to-get-new-music-into-musicbrainz/550240)._
