When to merge RGs - Soundtracks/scores of different nature for the same film/game

[aerozol]

@salo.rock

Seeing that the discussion has fizzled out, I am keeping @aerozol to his word about following up to it with an amendment to the guidelines.

Months later, but I’ve drafted an amendment:

Grouping movie/game soundtracks (style proposal)

See relevant discussion here I propose, based on the discussion linked above, that we update the Soundtrack style (changes in italics): Release Group Film scores (which showcase the background music of a film/show) should not be merged with pop soundtracks (albums of pop songs heard in whole or part in the background of a film/show). examples… Alternate-language releases in which each release contains new recordings for its language should each be in separate release groups. examples… R…

I’ve noticed that @CyberSkull has been absent from this discussion? I believe they’ve not been so keen on grouping this stuff in the past.

Whatever way the guideline goes it represents a lot of edits.

(tl;dr some people group gamerips, some don’t, this proposal more or less says ‘group them if the core recordings and the intent [to represent the same product] is the same, even if ‘format-shifted’/ripped from different media’)
