Basically, Axwell /\ Ingrosso have a visual EP for their _More Than You Know_ EP, both available on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9paavgZ-0) and [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/ca/music-video/more-than-you-know-visual-ep/1445001251) – it features music videos for all 4 of its songs, each one having separate YouTube uploads. Would something like this be eligible to be added onto MusicBrainz, and if so, which format and relationships should I use?

As it is a music release it is definitely eligible for being added.

I think I would add it as type EP, as it is labelled. Medium type is “digital media”. The recordings should be separate from the audio recordings and be marked as video. They can be linked to the audio-only recordings via the “video for” relationship.

Thanks! Should I add it as a release, recording, or work, and should I include it in the audio EP’s release group?

there’s some discussion and disagreement among editors about whether video releases and audio releases should be split or not, but I personally would add a new release group (note the polls below are from a few years back)

This thread is meant as a very slow but methodical way of working through all the different parts of the topic we need to decide until we have an accepted way of doing video that annoys everyone a little bit but hopefully we can all live with. This first post is where parts we actually agree on (or I make a final call on) will live: THE VIDEO GUIDELINES Releases of music in video form, such as music vi…

> related to these tickets I’d like to propose (and get some input on) a couple tickets related to music video releases. I think we should have a new secondary release group type (similar to Live, Compilation, Soundtrack, etc.) for video and split them into their own release groups. the benefits I can see would be: more visibility for music videos in the database currently, there’s no guidelines for video releases, but common practices I’ve seen thrown around are to enter videos as standal…

either way tho, it would need a new release with the new recordings @outsidecontext mentioned, but you could use the same works as the audio recordings use, since it’s the same underlying song
