Haha - I know that feeling. But stuff 'em. We have opinions because we also love the data and the accuracy. Here for the music knowledge. I gave up on the trying to be popular long ago as too many people just want to misunderstand and hold a personal dislike to you. Their loss.
I totally get your thoughts of “don’t touch my files”, but I add the MBIDs to them as I use my digital files in a KODI media server. I add the Artist Performer and Recording details into the tags as one day I dream that KODI will allow me to do a search and say “make me a playlist of Snowy White performances”. So I feed the MB database from multiple sources. I cross reference and “show my workings” even if some people get upset that I add too many details.
Also not wanting to go OT, but I am little interested in shops that sell and which markets they sell into. I want to know about the music and the performers. Really not interested in the Spotify guesswork. I really don’t need Amazon ASINs in my files. But hey - different people like different things… some like shops, I like music
But back on thread, and having an “extra information” side of an edit note would be really useful. Something that allowed big long waffly “proof of research details” to be added. Images or big long references of data would be really good. (It would also help if that same note can be attached to multiple edits) I think about that editor who will read our data in ten years time and want to be sure that we really did know what we were talking about. Sometimes I can spend hours on researching some little point. I want other people to understand and validate that research.
