Another brilliant online service that I use all the time: MusicBrainz. And, it seems, with great social media support.

On the music front: I remain so lucky that my hearing loss from my stroke was confined to speech perception. Music powers me through the day. And MusicBrainz provides the metadata.

Last, from your article:

> There is a field called “alias”. Is this it? Who knows? I think it’s more likely that this is an alias for different artist names

It is for different artist names indeed.

Otherwise, if you do have significant resources and sysadmin skills, the live data feed does include MBID redirects you can query through SQL, it requires setting up a MusicBrainz mirror on your own server.

Meanwhile, the MusicBrainz API does return the most up-to-date data with the currently main MBID for any old MBID you input.

You can make use of this difference to flag your locally outdated data, then update it through the API.

You might consider including releases where the Status field is left blank, but ignore ones that are explicitly set to 'bootleg' and 'pseudo-release' (up to you whether you'd include stuff like 'cancelled' etc) -a

It had no type set at all - I would 'teach a person to fish' but my OCD required me to fix it immediately 😀

qplanner now has refreshed artist data, and images are back!

Data sources are @musicbrainz.org @lastfm.bsky.social and @wikimediafoundation.org

I still need to add back the small images on the user selection page, and mobile long press.

I plan on adding artist checks/suggestions in the creator.

> A video recording (such an official music video for a studio track or a live video from a concert) should always be a different recording from any audio-only recording, even if the audio content is the same for both.

wait uhhh wouldnt this mean the video could be the recording itself here?

Sure does!

More on the original topic, if you sync your scrobbles with ListenBrainz/make a ListenBrainz acc, a number of LB playlists are generated.

There's also a number of third party tools that 'facilitate' adding stuff from those lists locally: wiki.musicbrainz.org/External_Res... -a

made my first musicbrainz entry, with 90 more to go (for now)

the UI is a bit hard to understand but it *does* account for every single bit of information that you could possibly add. I find that awesome

It's so hype when you find an album or ep or whatever that isn't on musicbrainz so you get to add it. This is autistic of me
