Problematic Cases

  • Editing a track title/artist.
    • Should it modify the linked recording?
    • Should it automatically break the link to the recording, if it's changed? (e.g. editor trying to change a track on a tracklist)
    • Should it just change the track, keep the link to recording and the recording itself untouched? (we will probably get incorrectly linked recordings)
  • Adding/removing a track.
    • Should it create a new tracklist?
    • Should it modify the tracklist, which will most likely change many other releases?
  • Not directly related to the release editor, but the above issue affects this. CD TOCs are currently linked to tracklists. That means creating new tracklists automatically is not possible. Should CD TOCs be on medium, rather than tracklist?

Use Cases

Note: The cases that are struck out means that they have been addressed in the UI design, but may not actually be fully implemented yet.
