History:Composers As Release Artists For Tributes Proposal
From MusicBrainz Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Description
I would like to propose that we use the artist who is being honored by a tribute (the composer) as the release artist for tribute releases. Here are a few things to consider:
- We could add "Tribute" as a release type, get rid of the TributeRelationshipType
- Tributes could be grouped on the composer's artist page (based on the new release type)
Arguments in Favor
- These tribute releases disappear into the abyss of Various Artists
- Those who are concerned with tribute releases are generally those who are concerned with the composer
- Easier access to tribute releases instead of having to link through the bare-bones ARs (just name, not other info)
