I would actually consider them the same release as the Spotify/Deezer/Apple Music release, since these were also likely through the same distributor (unless I can tell it wasn’t released through the same distributor), as @aerozol points out above. I’ve actually added distribution relationships based on the description in some cases
Right, sorry, I probably shouldn’t have worded it like that; it was a bit forceful on a matter I’m rather fuzzy on. I think I was more trying to say that an auto-generated Youtube playlist is, in general, part of a release uploaded to multiple other places; I generally don’t see a unique release on Youtube Music. (An exception that comes to mind was some single containing the full-length ending theme to an anime, which the auto-generated Youtube Music release had a separate karaoke track that no other digital / physical version had that I could see, so I added it as a separate release with the Youtube Music page being the only URL relationship).
(This is out of the scope of this thread, and has been debated before), but I’ve been a bit fuzzy on what qualifies as a separate digital release. My interpretation was that if the digitally accessible versions are clearly rips of an existing release, don’t create a new release, but if there are any distinctions between the digital versions and the physical versions (different tracks / track names, different label, different cover art, additional goods supplied w/ purchase of said digital release, the artist clearly has intention to have an otherwise separate ‘digital release’) then the digital version needs a new release. An older release that is made accessible online, say Neil Diamond - The Feel of Neil Diamond (Youtube Music), probably shouldn’t get a separate release for the digitally accessible version I would think. The style guideline kinda talks about when (not) to add a new release but really doesn’t explicitly state when if a digitally accessible version(s) should qualify as a separate release. I don’t want to carry on about this too much here but if someone has a link to a post / wiki page on this particular matter I would appreciate it.
