Music/inputting tracks ??25 messages

The unambiguous addition of data seems very important to me, especially if we also want to select on that in the future.
I think that when performing singles only the title of side (1 or A) and then space Kant (2ofB)
Example “ 407897 ”
For EP's example “ 532517 ”
For LP's “ 11125 "
Double LPs “ 444383 ”
CD “ 403821 ”
CD box “ 375415 ”
I think this is very clear without compromising the content.
I would really like to see a standard guideline for that! So that it is also clear to everyone
(I have not always been consistent in my own collection, but I want to adjust that, the deviations often come from pasting and cutting from the internet) Please hear your opinion and maybe we can do something with it.

seems like a good idea, unfortunately it is very variable for many people now.
If there is a guideline, then everything is the same.
however if I want to indicate which track was written by whom, I normally always do that in details.
Then you write eg the name
as here eg.
482573
if you indicate A and then numbers for it
you can indicate in the details box who wrote the track (if you add this to the track it will be so full there)

That is indeed a possibility,
but see CD “ 403821 ”or see CD box“ 375415 ”is basically everything listed

I do agree with Bodemjager when it comes to tracks. Further info about the tracks indeed in the box
particularities. Especially with the Harrisonbox I find the information in the track box very unclear. Numbers for the tracks could provide some clarity here.
I would argue for A: and B: for singles and numbers for the tracks for LPs / CDs.

I have adjusted the cd box at least the tracks to keep the extensive data available I have placed the list in complete detail
gives in this order of large I think a messy picture unfortunately, but it is a possibility and the songs I have with 00: title
please hear again

CD box “ 375415 ”
cd 4 and cd 6 both track 4 is now a bit messy, I think

It would be nice if there were indeed a directive for adding data, but then there must be a directive first HOW you enter an item for the first time. Even if the data on the music carrier is displayed perfectly, it is of little use if the name of the artist is not entered correctly (read: high chance of double “entries”).
There are a number of collectors who consistently (though) enter names without commas between the last name and first name of an artist. Or do not mention “The” with the name of a band while it is appropriate or vice versa (mention it while it is not appropriate). I think this problem should be addressed first and then the “content” of the album or single. then all doubles or triples can also be thrown out!
But I fear that the mopping with the tap is open….

I don't fully agree with you, that mopping, the pop-up does display it often, then it is a matter of selection.
And I think cleaning will always be necessary.
Typing errors will always take place.
But if the music carrier is taken as a starting point, you will already intercept a lot, provided with the image, among other things, the country names, serial numbers, etc., but often only the picture of the cover front is displayed, and there is a lot of data cannot be traced back.
Must have guilty of this myself, and of course if you see something strange you can fix it, but then there must be clear agreements for it.
And the number of duplicate items in progress etc. I think is manageable.
Although the number of items is increasing considerably.

Okay, I think it is indeed time to get things together. I want to take the lead and make a move. It seems to me the most convenient and clear that I start a separate thread for each part within this section.
If you have other ideas than me, do not hesitate to respond :-)

@Longtallernie

What if the administrators would create artist names themselves? If users do not have to do this themselves, duplication will be much less of an issue, and problems with (The) Golden Earring (s) will also be solved. A list of stage names? see www.allmusic.com
It's a hell of a job, but MAYBE someone should do it anyway :-)

The list of artist names is already huge. It is impossible to make such a list yourself. in addition, you will not solve the Golden Earring problem unless you include all variations in your list. the fact is that they have made records like The Golden Earrings, The Golden Earring and golden Earring. Eric Burdon has recorded with The Animals, but also as Eric Burdon and the Animals, Eric Burdon and the new Animals, Eric Burdon and War etc. Most of these problems can be solved with aliases or name variations, but not all. Eric Burdon and War is a very different band from Eric Burdon and The Animals.
Even better is a band like Fleetwood Mac. You have the first release, the blues band and the second: the pop band with ao. Stevie Nicks. Completely different bands with the same name.

Allmusicguide is a good site, but I regularly encounter errors :-)

Hi, I can't find a way to delete a track that I entered incorrectly. Maybe I look totally next to a simple solution? :)

track 00

From the moment you have added something to Catawiki, the information is no longer yours, but of all users. That is why you can no longer delete your own input. But an administrator can arrange this, you know.

@Razorblade

Is arranged, track is gone

@Dick52,

Ik zie nu bij het invoeren van CD's dat er bij Hoofd artiest / band, ALLE artiesten staan. Je mailde mij destijds dat ik daar "Diverse artiesten" in moest vullen op de volgende manier: 3205363

En de artiesten ook bij de behorende track.

(Ziet er naar mijn mening ook netter en overzichtelijk uit)

Als ik het voorbeeld bekijk van u, dan staan de artiesten op 1 hoopje in Hoofd artiest / band en bij de tracks nog een hoopje artiesten, niet bij de behorende track.

Wat is nu de goede manier? 

@Dick52,

I now see when entering CDs that there are ALL artists under Main artist / band. You emailed me at the time that I had to fill in "Various artists" in the following way: 3205363

And the artists also with the corresponding track.

(I also think it looks neater and more organized)

If I look at your example, then the artists are in 1 heap in Main artist / band and with the tracks another heap of artists, not with the corresponding track.

What is the right way now?

3205363 Has been entered correctly in terms of tracks.

With such an album, the individual artists do not belong to the main artist.

If an artist plays along on every track, he is the main artist. artist.

I get that, but the example that Dick52 gives in his first post as an example is not good, is it?

CD “ 403821 ” And so many compilation albums have been filled in, and are still filled in that way.

That's what I meant actually say.

403821 Is the result of a change last year and was correct at the time of entry. That must now indeed be adjusted. By anyone who feels like it and has the time.

Recent entries I could not find 1-2-3 like this. May be the result of copying old items.

It's time for a full update of the input statement, under consideration, but it may take a while.

Okay thanks, it's clear to me.

Is it possible for you to add a new genre? I have quite a lot of albums in the Synthpop genre. Now I enter them under pop and rock because I have no other option that comes closer. But for a genre that includes hundreds of bands, this is a bit too general. Think of bands like O.M.D., Ultravox, the Human League, Visage, etc. But also contemporary bands like: Ayria, Ladytron, La Roux, etc.

Synthpop has been added.

Thank you kdamme. I am also completely happy again ;-)
