=The [non-album tracks] pseudo-album= |
|||
When there are [[Non-Album Track|NonAlbumTrack]]s for an artist, they appear in the pseudo-album '''[non-album tracks]'''. Although it appears somewhat like a regular album, there are several significant differences: |
|||
* its tracks are not numbered and their "order" cannot be changed ([[Edit Track Number|EditTrackNumber]]) |
|||
* its name cannot be edited ([[Edit Album Name|EditAlbumName]]) |
|||
* it has no release data ([[Edit Album Releases|EditAlbumReleases]]) |
|||
* it has no attributes (compilation, official, etc.) ([[Edit Album Attributes|EditAlbumAttributes]]) |
|||
* it cannot be converted to multiple artists ([[Convert Album To Multiple Artists|ConvertAlbumToMultipleArtists]]) |
|||
* it cannot be moved to another artist ([[Move Album|MoveAlbum]]) |
|||
* it cannot be explicitly merged with another album ([[Merge Albums|MergeAlbums]]) |
|||
While there is a Delete link that submits a [[Remove Album|RemoveAlbum]] for the [non-album tracks], using [[Remove Track|RemoveTrack]] instead is [http:?RemoveAlbum#dontremovenonalbum preferred]. |
|||
Although the [non-album tracks] album cannot be explicitly merged with another album, when two artists are merged ([[Merge Artists|MergeArtists]]) 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 [[Non-Album Track|NonAlbumTrack]]s, possibly with the same name, although that can also occur due to duplicate [[Add Track|AddTrack]] edits. |
|||
Unlike regular albums, when all tracks are removed from the [non-album tracks] album, the album itself is deleted (whereas a regular album would remain but have no tracks). |
|||
The [non-album tracks] album ''can'' (and should) have an [[Album Annotation|AlbumAnnotation]] that contains text comments on the individual tracks. |
