In this topic, requests for a new field in this section can be reported.
Clearly explain the purpose and use of such a new field.
Does not mean that this will be automatically honored.
We are unable to provide a schedule for any adjustment.

The following requests have currently been submitted:
  • Barcode / EAN
  • Number of carriers
  • By script split the current Carriers field into Carrier and Number of carriers
  • Make third image mandatory?
  • Designer cover

Dear Tammo.
We have written here in the Community before about creating a new field in the Tracks for the Bandmembers and the Musicians at e.g. the 78 rpm records.
Would like to know the status of this, because this theme does not appear in the above list.
Greetings John.

For clarification.
Now several (Guest) artists can be entered for the tracks.
If I understand correctly, there should be a field in which the member of the band can be entered, per track .
That field will then be called Band-member or Band-member.
Multiple band members can be entered per track.

Is this the right idea?

Dear Tammo.
Yes pretty much.
Take e.g. the Band Slade, the members of the Band are Band members, so they belong in a field for Band members and not with the Guest Artists.
With the Guest Artists I put e.g. the singers of the most older  
Orchestras such as those of Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra.
I am also concerned with the old Orchestras e.g. on the 78rpm records, there the Musicians often change with almost every Song.
That's why I would like to have an extra field with each Track, so that these Musicians can also be filled in there.
The field where it now stands (Guest ) artist should then be changed to Guest Artists only.
The new field could be called Bandmembers/Musicians
Greetings John.

Third image mandatory has also been a wish for a long time. I don't know if that's still in a list somewhere.

That's nice multiple images, but is the third one mandatory?

That mandatory third image is already on the wish list.
But that requires an additional job to fill the current empty 3rd images at the same time, so that the items still remain editable.

Terr Attention for everyone: Do not enter a picture yourself with the empty photo, this must be done by means of a script that creates a system image.

Great wish in the past we could enter a so-called plain text at tracks
Was a matter of copying and then pasting  saves a lot of input work/time
In addition, it would be a great option 
If for example, you have neatly entered a CD from the Netherlands, tracks etc. that you could also paste these tracks  to the English CD, which for example has been partially entered

A question from the past
I want to see all my vinyl lp?'s from for example the Beatles in an overview
Can't work now can only choose 1 lp or 2 lp or 3 etc
Is also so with CD 
You can only choose 1 carrier 

Can also be the other way around I want everything from Beatles except the EPs

Coming back to the band members' wishes
For example the Rolling Stones
There have been quite a few changes, which means that with tracks
A lot of deviations from band members come in those fields
In addition, how do you check the input?
It is usually not mentioned on the cover  or record
Take for example  the new releases of G Harrison All Things Must Pass
The deluxe edition of the album has it in the booklet and only mentioned on inner sleeve those are not shown in 1 of the 3 scans

A request has already been made to split the Carriers field in two: Carrier and Number of carriers.
Once this has been achieved, you can make a selection on, for example, only LP,

 There have been quite a few changes, which means that tracks
A lot of deviations from band members come indie fields 

That's right, but it is the only way to register it properly, if there is a need for that information.

 In the deluxe edition of the album it is mentioned in the booklet and on the inner sleeve, only those are not shown in 1 of the 3 scans 

Partly a reason to increase the number of images.

This seems more like something to fill in at Extra features. Request whether they agree with the administrators.

Acoustic :  I don't think it would be useful to mention this separately as a type or section (not even as an Extra feature). I think it's only a limited number of songs. Why no mention at Specials.
To give an example: 'A3 and B5 are acoustic.

A cappella:  A mention at Spoken word does not seem right to me. A cappella is simply music without instruments and no spoken word in the form of a song. Again, a mention at Specials seems obvious.

Remix : As a rule, there is already a mention after the title that it is a remix. Why a separate mention then? An entry as an Extra characteristic could possibly be possible. Only, that's not at the song level. The additional features apply to the entire carrier.

Is it perhaps an option to create a field for the matrix number? This is a unique number pressed on the record. Just some kind of ISBN code. As a result, there can never be any ambiguity about which pressing it is. As for country, year if it is a repress, etc. This is crucial for real collectors.

That seems like a good idea, but there is a problem. The matrix numbers are usually not easy to read on the scans of the carrier. This means that we cannot verify that the matrix number listed is correct. And experience shows that users very often make mistakes when entering numbers.

I think this is a very good idea, I have already put a lot of Matrix songs in the Specials, especially with the 78 rpm records, but then there must be a field for the A and B side of the record.

The fact that it is not always possible to see well on the scans which matrix numbers are on the record is not always such a problem to find them, in the internet they can usually be found, if one knows where to look.
Greet John.

The numbers can often be found on the internet, you're right about that. But I want to be able to determine as best as possible whether the entered data indeed corresponds to the real item.
And I suspect not many users will be filling in the matrix numbers. The result is that diligent fellow users start looking for those matrix numbers without having the real item in their hands. That means: mistakes!
That danger does not exist if we allow the existing situation to exist. Those who need it enter the matrix numbers in the Details box.

If you really want to have a good music catalog, then you should really think about a separate field for matrix numbers

That entry of matrix numbers is nice
But not verifiable 
And the agreement is (which is not always fulfilled) the input must be verifiable hence scan 2 must be the tracks display (usually back cover)
In addition scan 3 label readable ao release number carrier and country of origin
And on the net I can't find the matrix number I need to see that on my own copy
I'm not sure but I estimate that I have at least 25 peppers a lot of label variants but some of them would also have other matrix numbers 
The idea is nice but not realistic

Dear Dick.
The idea of making a field is not only fun, it is actually a great idea.
And on the records that are on LD so far one can I already see a lot of matrix numbers, otherwise they will somehow be found on Sides in the internet, and what's wrong with that.
I don't quite understand why good proposals are often destroyed by a lot of counterarguments , just do it and see what comes of it.
I want to talk about other Sides again, there are some, here you can even search by matrix songs, and see on which records the Songs were released, I don't think so bad that one can do such a thing, if it is possible to realize such a thing.
Now I think again the argument that LD is its own Side and has nothing to do with other Sides, I've heard it a hundred times, and frankly I don't care anymore.
I just want that LD. at e.g. Music is getting better, but not much is happening in this area, actually nothing at all until now, only proposals that come to a dead end.
And you know this yourself Dick, how many questions have you already asked yourself, of which nothing yet has come, or from which no one hears any more.
Greetings John.
