=The [non-album tracks] pseudo-release= |
|||
When there are [[Non-Album Track|NonAlbumTrack]]s 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 ([[Edit Track Number Edit|EditTrackNumberEdit]]) |
|||
* its name cannot be edited ([[Edit Release Name Edit|EditReleaseNameEdit]]) |
|||
* it has no release data ([[Edit Release Events Edit|EditReleaseEventsEdit]]) |
|||
* it has no attributes (compilation, official, etc.) ([[Edit Release Attributes Edit|EditReleaseAttributesEdit]]) |
|||
* it cannot be converted to multiple artists ([[Convert Release To Multiple Artists Edit|ConvertReleaseToMultipleArtistsEdit]]) |
|||
* it cannot be moved to another artist ([[Move Release Edit|MoveReleaseEdit]]) |
|||
* it cannot be explicitly merged with another release ([[Merge Releases Edit|MergeReleasesEdit]]) |
|||
While there is a Delete link that submits a [[Remove Release Edit|RemoveReleaseEdit]] for the [non-album tracks], using [[Remove Track Edit|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 ([[Merge Artists Edit|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 [[Non-Album Track|NonAlbumTrack]]s, possibly with the same name, although that can also occur due to duplicate [[Add Track Edit|AddTrackEdit]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. |
|||
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 [[Release Annotation|ReleaseAnnotation]] that contains text comments on the individual tracks. |
