Problems with Recordings
- Most casual editors don't know, which recording should be related to which track, because there is no obviously correct entity. So they choose either a new recording (best choise, when in doubt) or a recording with the same name and a similar length.
- It is hard to split recordings, which were incorrectly merged (or reused, see above), because the information which fingerprint was added originally for which track is lost (can't be stored, because a track has no identifier).
Fingerprints / Digests
- Tracks should have an identifier
- It should be difficult (require vote or at least confirmation) to relate more than one fingerprint of the same type to a track
Entities
Most levels should be optional. Entities, that could be useful, are:
- Work
- Arrangement
- Performance Group
- Performance
- Mix
- Master
- Track
