The [non-album tracks] pseudo-release
When there are NonAlbumTracks for an artist, they appear in the pseudo-release [non-album tracks]. Although it appears somewhat like a regular release, there are several significant differences:
- its tracks are not numbered and their "order" cannot be changed (EditTrackNumberEdit)
- its name cannot be edited (EditReleaseNameEdit)
- it has no release data (EditReleaseEventsEdit)
- it has no attributes (compilation, official, etc.) (EditReleaseAttributesEdit)
- it cannot be converted to multiple artists (ConvertReleaseToMultipleArtistsEdit)
- it cannot be moved to another artist (MoveReleaseEdit)
- it cannot be explicitly merged with another release (MergeReleasesEdit)
While there is a Delete link that submits a RemoveReleaseEdit for the [non-album tracks], using RemoveTrackEdit instead is [http:?RemoveReleaseEdit#dontremovenonalbum preferred].
Although the [non-album tracks] release cannot be explicitly merged with another release, when two artists are merged (MergeArtistsEdit) their respective [non-album tracks] (if any) are merged; however, this merge adds all the tracks to the resulting [non-album tracks] rather than merging them individually (by track number) as explicit merges do. This may result in duplicate NonAlbumTracks, possibly with the same name, although that can also occur due to duplicate AddTrackEdits.
Unlike regular releases, when all tracks are removed from the [non-album tracks] release, the release itself is deleted (whereas a regular release would remain but have no tracks).
The [non-album tracks] release can (and should) have an ReleaseAnnotation that contains text comments on the individual tracks.
Discussion
There does not appear to be any method for moving a track from one artist's [non-album tracks] to another's. --MartinRudat
- That is true, Tracks have to be removed, and re-added to the other artist, losing the PUID
s and TRMIds along the way. --Keschte- That sucks, I wanted to move (or at least debate moving) Radio Free Zerg from Blizzard to Tracy W. Bush, given that she is credited in the file. --MartinRudat
