History:Change Track Artist Edit

From MusicBrainz Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

This edit changes the Artist aicon.png of an individual Track notes.gif, without affecting the artist aicon.png of the entire Release licon.png.

How to do it

  • For a currently single artist release, click "Show all track Artists" first. Then for either single or VariousArtists releases, you can click the pencil icon File:edit-off.gif beside any artist and type a new artist value. Then either use the inline "Lookup" function to find the new TrackArtist, or click "Continue" to move to the next step where you will asked to manually search for and select the new track artist.

Guidelines

Editing

Common reasons for using this edit include:

  • because the track is a remix by the release artist, but originally by a different artist, i.e RemixStyle
  • because the release artist is only featured on a track, which was originally by a different artist, i.e. FeaturingArtistStyle
  • to fix a VariousArtists release which has tracks attributed incorrectly, or artists currently contained within TrackTitles
