“recording1 is a clean version of a recording2”. We could even have a relationship linking the two, e.g. The only affected releases/recordings would be the ones that are either explicit or clean. I honestly have no idea why are so many of you opposed to this feature.
The same can be said about video recordings, yet we have a setting that adds a nice little icon to them You and most editors would not make such an edit as you have referenced because of your skills and knowledge. Closely followed by carelessness, then by just not caring and finally making a Boo Boo because it’s 3 A.M. Inexperience will always drive a high percentage of erroneous edits. If some eds don’t pay attention to that, a flag will make no difference. With all due respect, I thought that’s what disambiguation was supposed to do. but I am staying civilised as I know everyone at MB is civilised. People start talking about censorship around me I want to let rip. This is why I’d fight to avoid it applied everywhere as it doesn’t make sense in the majority of recordings.Įdit: you don’t know how hard it is for me to not swear like a trooper in this post. I know the odd (radio edit) pops up on UK singles, but it is usually on that same single alongside the normal version. Would an AcoustID pick up these censored versions? How much tends to get chopped out? If it is anything of note then isn’t the AcoustID going to help slow down those merging addicts.Īnd this really is a US only thing. Some merging addicts barely even check the track lengths. What’s that - at least four different editions there for the “true fans” to purchase?Īs points out - if someone can’t see a LOUD (BRACKETED) note about the difference then they won’t bother checking a hidden flag. Censorship is a personal thing and would cause some big that release group shows what I mean about this being a gimmick for the marketing people. I don’t want a “naughty words” flag set on my Crass albums. The important point is - MB should not have this as a user settable flag. I always saw them as a way for the record company to make a marketing fuss with their releases and sell more copies.
On my shelf I have 1990s Enimen and Gun n’ Roses albums with these stickers on. It wouldn’t take much to catch a few of those words and flag them in a different way. Not sure what the OPs use is of Musicbrainz, but if it is Picard it would be able to set a script to spot the “USA Censored” versions. And already the (disambiguration) is used for (radio edit) or (explicit) in those very few occasions it is relevant. MB should certainly not be categorising music. The red flag tell’s little Johnny that there is a better version out there and he will now actively seek it out because of that flag. I don’t agree that having a “red flag” next to a song will keep little Johnny from playing it.
