* "labels" isn't a valid inc parameter for release-group requests if "releases" is specified.

With the current web service we can make a list of "Date - Country - Barcode - Format," but can't include the label or catalog number (which can be just as important) without making n additional requests for each release in the RG. --[[User:Bitmap|Bitmap]] 15:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC) |

- "labels" isn't a valid inc parameter for release-group requests if "releases" is specified. This would be useful if we wanted to quickly compile a basic list of identifying info about all of the releases in a release group. e.g. having a list of "other versions" of a release in Picard that the user can switch to. With the current web service we can make a list of "Date - Country - Barcode - Format," but can't include the label or catalog number (which can be just as important) without making n additional requests for each release in the RG. --Bitmap 15:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
UNDOCUMENTED: <QUERY> seems to actually need double quotes surrounding
A query such as:

will not actually recognize the &artist= or &arid= or &arid: parameter unless the query portion is wrapped in double quotes like:
http://www.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/recording/?query="Moi+je+dors+pr%C3%A8s+de+la+Seine"&artist=29c181c9-9069-41ec-a91d-82f50c7cd2a9
Need to have more detailing in the docs about HOW the <QUERY> should be wrapped properly in order for additional parameters after it to be properly recognized. (or else you could classify this as a bug and say that it SHOULD NOT NEED double quotes ? dunno)
