All done - post can be ignored now. Thanks voters

Okay. This is daft. When tagging and updating my own copy of Moby’s Play I found a few Vinyl double albums stored as a single disk with tracks numbered 1 to 18. My attempt to split these up properly have led to rather daft 6 day wait on some of them… which means for the next week these albums are a confused mess.

Please vote to kick these through. Check artwork and/or discogs link and you’ll see this is a legit split.

Update 1
I tweaked a couple of other Vinyl copies of Moby’s Play so now there is a rather weird look to the list. Some went through immediately, others have tripped up due to me doing edits in the wrong order.

There are FOUR double Vinyl 12" versions listed. And they are now all in different states of flux while these corrections go through.

The frustrating side effect of this is that for the next week it means no one will be able to find their “correct” vinyl copy and none of the track lists match for vinyl until the edits kick in.

As I started this chaos, I’ll follow it through to the end and make sure it is all behaving correctly. So there will be a clean up by me at the end. (Including merging that clear duplicate) I’m just tripped up at the moment by the out-of-sync edits.

My last open edits for Play at this moment (ignoring the art):
https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/7f6a4e72-9fee-39db-8817-63425f97a0f5/open_edits

Any votes to kick that stuff through would be handy… The aim being to put the 18-track single sided vinyl into their correct 2 x 12" Vinyl with correct track split and track naming

Thanks :slight_smile:

Update 2: Thanks for the voters who kicked the main edits through. One album left and it will be sane again.

Just hope no one was trying to organise their Moby disks this weekend…

Update 3: All done now. thanks. :slight_smile: And comically the next step is to merge the two identical US releases which means all that faffing around with disks will disappear anyway. The duplicate couldn’t be seen when it was just that single 18 track vinyl.

This is standard when you have to do a big fix with something!
I usually have a few ‘_check after merge’/’_merge after edits pass’ tags going…
I haven’t found a need to worry about it. You could always add the ‘correct’ release and then merge the others in if you need the data asap

276

Yeah - I can see this is fairly standard. Just need to learn the subtleties as some of the changes flew through without check or delay.

The confusing stage is like this one where it is half and half. For a while there were a number of the vinyl releases there with a HUGE disk one with every track still on it and a new disk two duplicating half of those tracks. Which lead to the weirdest of the madness.

I honestly still find it confusing, which is why I just check back every week after everything has gone through, instead of trying to figure out what to wait for and what to keep doing right now. Not great for my OCD but now I’m used to it :expressionless:

Edit: this thread is a go to when I can’t handle the wait though, so obviously I still have to work on it!

There is this Edit #57655838 - Edit recording.
It’s a real improvement of the tracklist.
It needs to pass before one of my merges apply.

If my merge applies first, this complex edit will fail and will be tedious to redo alike.
If my merge fails, I’ll be notified and it’s very easy to redo.

Please, if you could help me. :slight_smile:

Please have a look at https://musicbrainz.org/edit/57764587

It’s important that this edit gets applied before https://musicbrainz.org/edit/57723612 to preserve existing recordings.

Thanks.

This duplicate relationship is locking up the UI editor on it’s owner.

Can I get some votes to kick these corrections through.

https://musicbrainz.org/artist/e7d88d98-11b4-491d-9a88-a45791fab6c0/open_edits

This guy is editing his own entries. DJ Matt Black is doing the promotion game. Trouble is he doesn’t know how MB works. He also doesn’t seem to want to talk or acknowledge the errors.

The open edits listed are my corrections to his errors. This guy remixes music and then uploads a YouTube video of that. Problem is in MB he was then adding these “releases” to the original artist instead of the remixer (himself).

The open edits listed are moving his release into a release group under his own name.

The reason I ask for assistance is to speed this up so he gets a better picture of what he should be doing.

Edit: The nice thing about messes like this is it is a good place for training and learning how the system works. Once these releases are moved into the correct release group I’ll swap the status from “bootleg” to “official”. While they are still under the wrong artist I don’t want to correct that bit yet and confuse fans of the original artist. Of course, those changes will take another seven days to get into place. Which is why your votes help otherwise I’ll still be correcting this in 2019. Thanks.

Edit 2: Thanks for those votes. The releases are now all in the correct place under the remixer. A comedy effect has now kicked in due to the original entries having been marked as “Armenian Bootleg”. They are under the correct artist now, but hidden. Comically. So the last few edits are now in place to flip them to “Official”. It would be good to get a final few votes to clear this chaos up completely_

Requesting no votes here, but confirmation on a bunch of merges (to be neither in vain nor lossy) or, if needed, help with sharper tools than those of mine as scriptless regular editor:

  1. Release Landowska Plays Bach had all 35 Track Titles In Start Case and no DiscID. I manually CSG:d Titles by Parser, thereby deleting Track Lengths having entered them anyway with DiscID by Picard. During edit pending, it looked as an OK paradox. Result however has Track Lengths lost to all “?:??”.
  2. I therefore added a new medium with correct Titles and Lengths by parser, set the old one for removal, with system having them automatically reordered.
  3. Recordings on newly added Medium have correct Lengths, but should now be merged into those of the old one, all with Length “?:??”.
  4. If I merge new Recordings into old, will Lengths be lost again? (Lengths should be locked by DiscID, but seem instead locked as “?:??”.) Would merging old into new be preferred? Can someone with sharper tools operate on old recordings to refetch Lengths? I will go over the lot manually again once, then not bother.

This is clearly Noddy’s career after the children’s TV series dried up… I just worry about what happened to Big Ears.

Can someone please just kick this edit through. A small Xmas pressie for me.

Over a month ago this album came out. Since then I have been caught up in the 7 day delays of correcting the errors of the original entry. (Originally typed in from a promotional email)

https://musicbrainz.org/edit/58256653

This last edit is to correct the fact that there is a hidden track on this album. Listening to the last track will reveal it is two recordings with a 30 second gap.

I’m trying to get this edit into place before people unwrap their Xmas presents and then start ripping this album.

I need some votes to clean up a super confusing pair of siblings. Basically their stage names have a 1 letter difference and they are credited as each other. There are 3 artists here, one is a misnamed duplicate.

Please take a look at these edits that would currently be downvoted. I don’t see why.

I am attempting to remove links that are unclear if they belong to the label or to the artist. But, the artist has given one of them a no vote.
