| − | TrackMerging is a simplified version of [[Track Grouping|TrackGrouping]]. The basic idea is to allow a single "track" object to be shared by multiple "release" objects. A "track" object contains a collection of "release track" objects. This would clear up a significant amount of redundant data and allow us to pool similar PUIDs into a single object such that there would be absolutely no PUID collisions between the objects. Implementing this concept will be one of the many incremental steps toward the [[Next Generation Schema|NextGenerationSchema]] goal.

| |
| − | | |
| − | * Are [[Edit Track Time Edit|EditTrackTimeEdit]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s and [[Edit Track Name Edit|EditTrackNameEdit]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s linked to no releases or all attached releases, now that there can be more than one release?
| |
| − | * How should removing of a track work? Automatic removing when the last "release track" is removed? Only manual removing?
| |
| − | * How do you separate merged tracks?
| |
| − | <ul><li style="list-style-type:none">- The same way you merged them: a little check box on the right and a "separate" button on the bottom that activates when at least one track is selected. The selected tracks are separated and merged into a different track object. -- [[User:BogdanButnaru|BogdanButnaru]] 13:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − | * When release tracks will have their own titles, and somebody completely changes the title, should it automatically create a new track?
| |
| − | <ul><li style="list-style-type:none">- How about a warning on each potentially ambiguous edit, requiring the user to specify with check-boxes if the track should be separated or not? -- [[User:BogdanButnaru|BogdanButnaru]] 13:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − | * Should the "release editor" have an option to re-use existing tracks, instead of always creating new ones and then merging them?
| |
| − | * Should "earliest/later release of" track-track ARs and clusters be converted automatically into track objects? -- [[User:BogdanButnaru|BogdanButnaru]] 13:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

| − | ==TODO==
| |
| − | | |
| − | * "Release track" titles.
| |
| − | * Disambiguation comments for tracks.
| |
| − | * Warnings on merge if:
| |
| − | ** Track durations differ
| |
| − | ** Merging tracks from Album/Single/EP/... and Live releases together.
| |
| − | <ul><li style="list-style-type:none">- Also for "other", often these are demos. When do we get the demo release type, anyway? -- [[User:BogdanButnaru|BogdanButnaru]] 13:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

| − | Here are some notes from an IRC conversation we had some time ago ([[User:LukasLalinsky|LukasLalinsky]], [[User:Jugdish|Jugdish]] and [[User:BrianFreud|BrianFreud]]). But I can't remember some details, and somehow find it on chatlogs, so it's possible that something is incorrect. (If somebody can find the IRC log, please add the link here.) -- 147.251.51.78 16:04, 02 October 2007 (UTC)

| − | * Adding new album will always add new master entities.
| |
| − | * Masters have no explicit titles, everything is derived from attached tracks.
| |
| − | * It will be possible to merge masters.
| |
| − | * It will be possible to split some tracks of a master.
| |
| − | * The release editor can be used only to edit tracks, not masters or track<->master associations.
| |
| − | * ? Significant change to track title will automatically detach the track from the current master (if more than one track is attached to it)
| |
| − | * There are no track ARs, adding an AR to track will transparently add it to the master.
| |
| − | * PUIDs are attached to masters. (theoretically, no two masters should share the same PUID)
| |
| − | * ? Durations are attached to masters, not tracks.
