Some of My Favorite Artists
- Jan Akkerman
- Eric Clapton
- Robert Cray

To Do
- Check and moderate information of artists against my own CD collection. This also includes relations to producers and engineers.
- Convert the Eric Clapton box set to various artists. But I first need to figure out the correct track artists.
- Update the Brainztorming section of this page (see below).
Brainztorming
This section includes some of my MusicBrainz ideas and suggestions. This is purely draft writing and may be extended or updated in the (near) future.
Location Entities
The location entity can be used to identify the recording studio or venues where the album or tracks was performed live.
Song Entities
Basically a song entity is a grouping of tracks so that attributes and/or relationships only need to be set or created once. For instance, an artist may have recorded the same song multiple times or performed live next to the normal studio recordings. If you want to add music or song writers then it is necessary to do so for each track ever recorded. But such information applies to all. By creating a song entity and group the tracks together, the attributes and relationships are only created once for a song. These are then automatically inherited by the tracks.
Performer Relationship Editor
Now it is necessary to create separate relationships per performer. But it would be nice to have a single entry form to add multiple performers so you can add guitarists, keyboard players, drummers, vocals at once.
Release Labels
Currently it is possible to create releases per album but only including a date and a country. It would be nice to have the option to set the record label as well.
Artist Subscription Mailing Lists
When users subscribe to an artist then those users should be able to directly communicate, by web-mail, with each other. This would be valuable in order to ask for help on specific moderation before hand. Also, a discussion platform for that specific artist will attract more subscribers, hence more voters meaning a better QA mechanism. Still, such artist subscription mailing list could also be a source for spam. This needs to be thought over carefully.
