If there’s dissatisfaction with the way streaming music fits into the release/release group structure, perhaps it would be good to improve the data display on the artist ‘Recordings’ page, with a view to possibly using this as an alternative ‘discography’ for these streaming-primary artists.
Here is @chhavi’s current mock-up for the Recordings page:
Currently the table only has four columns: Title, Artist, ISRC, Length. Some optional columns that could be added:
- recording date
- performance attributes (cover/live/partial/instrumental/medley)
- phonographic copyright holder and year of publication
Other possible improvements:
- Show collapsible list of credits (Artist-Recording rels) under each recording
- Show collapsible list of releases which recording appears on
This is all I can think of for now. The mock-up already includes some good improvements, such as a search box, sortable columns, etc.
