== Scope==
[[Release Group/Type#Broadcast|Broadcast]]: An episodic release that was originally broadcast via radio, television, or the Internet, including podcasts.

This includes reissues or collections of recordings originally created for broadcast, for instance a complete series released on CD.
== Broadcast Guidelines==
For individual shows (episodes).
===Release group type===
The [[Release Group/Type |release group type]] should be set to "Broadcast".
=== Release group secondary type===
If the show is a recording of a live performance add “Live”. Studio recordings that were recorded over multiple takes and then edited together are not considered live, even if a 'studio audience' was present (for instance, to capture applause).

If the show is primarily an [[Release Group/Type#Audio drama|audio drama]], with multiple people acting out a script, add "Audio Drama".

If the show is mainly people talking, and doesn't have the secondary types of audio drama or audiobook added, add "spokenword".
===Release name===
Follow this format: YYYY-MM-DD: Program Name [, Series 1234, ][#1234][, "Program Title"][: Location]

Notes:
*''YYYY-MM-DD'' is the date that particular program was first broadcast.
*Only include series and/or show numbers if each individual show has these.
*''Series'' should be replaced with whatever term the program uses, for instance 'Season'.
* Only include ''Location'' if it is a live recording, or if the location of the recording changes often and is mentioned prominently in the show or on the program's website.
*''Location'' follows this syntax: <nowiki>[Venue, ]City, [State, ]Country</nowiki>
*Untitled DJ Sets for radio, use the radio station name in place of the program name: YYYY-MM-DD: Radio Station Name…
** If the DJ/s represent a collective or a label, follow this format: YYYY-MM-DD: [Collective/Label Name,] Radio Station Name…
Examples:
*[[release:c8993a79-46df-4782-b3ae-bb3018f78461|2012-07-07: The Writer’s Almanac]] (radio show)
*[[release:1361e945-f109-435b-8fee-942d4daba127|2012-06-30: Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!: State Theatre, Cleveland, OH, USA]] (radio show, live)
*[[release:41accaf4-0da2-4de9-bbff-dc178459ffa1|2014-09-04: Ask Me Another #325, <bdi>“What’s the Magic Word?”: The Bell House, Brooklyn, NY, USA</bdi>]] (radio show, numbered, program title, live)
*[[release:fc5cd809-c8e8-4cca-95f9-1e0d8068ae69|1988-01-24: Fear on Four, Series 1, #4, “Music Lovers”]] (audio drama, series, numbered, program title)
*[[release:63035eb1-a793-41f3-8405-71e5438285b4|2012-06-16: Car Talk #1224, “You Sap”]] (podcast, numbered, program title)
*[[release:b74b87d9-361e-4017-871d-62241376a013|2019-11-11: Hessle Audio]] (DJ set, titled)
*[[release:bc99bc2f-b21c-475d-8d09-e3fba42f77f0|2021-12-31: NTS Radio]] (DJ set, untitled)
*[[release:7e08e843-ffba-42b9-8df6-15bc70e70ae2|2021-07-15: Surf Gang, NTS Radio]] (DJ set, DJs represent 'Surf Gang', untitled)
===Artist credit===
If the program is primarily written by and performed by the hosts, list them (or their pseudonym) as the artist. Examples:
*[[release:63035eb1-a793-41f3-8405-71e5438285b4|Car Talk]]: Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers
If the program is primarily a performance of a written work, list the author and the narrators/performers. Examples:
*[https://musicbrainz.org/series/57ef6c0a-e205-4266-bebf-ec9b4bc6003e?tport=8000 Escape Pod]: [author] read by [narrator]
*[[release:c9b2fe3f-5a49-4bff-ace9-ece2a2102158|Fear on Four]]: [author] starring [performer] & [performer]
Otherwise, artist credit should be given to the groups or people given at the beginning of the program. Examples:
*[[release:1361e945-f109-435b-8fee-942d4daba127|Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!]]: NPR & WBEZ Chicago (WBEZ) &mdash; "From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" ..."
*[[release:2866ec6b-0b02-4096-b3a5-7fcc7c3f4e5b|All Things Considered]]: NPR News (NPR) &mdash; "From NPR News, this is All Things Considered ..."
If the only people listed at the beginning of the program are the hosts who are not primary writers, or if there are no people or groups listed at the beginning of the program, use your best judgement for the artist credit. Examples:
*[[release:2354b8fa-21b3-495e-8511-abe23669cd81|Fresh Air]]: NPR & WHYY
*[[release:c8993a79-46df-4782-b3ae-bb3018f78461|The Writer's Almanac]]: American Public Media with Garrison Keillor (while Garrison Keillor is the host, he is not the primary writer)
===Format===
This will usually be digital media (podcasts, radio station website streams and downloads).

If you don't know how or if it was distributed, only that it was aired, leave the format blank (as well as the release date).
===Track listings===
For programs distributed as a single file or track, use only one track, and title it the same as the release (see [https://musicbrainz.org/release/41accaf4-0da2-4de9-bbff-dc178459ffa1])

For programs separated into segments when distributed (for example, separate downloads for each segment, or a player which loads a new file for each segment), list each segment as a separate track. The track title should be the title of the segment from the distributor, if useful (see [https://musicbrainz.org/release/1361e945-f109-435b-8fee-942d4daba127]). If no titles are given, add [: Part #] to the end each track title.
===Label===
Use the group responsible for holding rights for and distributing the program you are adding. For example, recordings from "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" are distributed through NPR's website, so the label should be NPR. The same show can be distributed or re-distributed with different groups on different channels, in which case, add separate releases for these. Programs may change distributor over time.

Do not add a catalog number for digital media releases unless you are certain it's a catalog number and not an internal ID number.

Examples:
*Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: NPR
*Car Talk: [no label] (see [https://www.cartalk.com/radio/show/1224-you-sap]) and/or Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe (see [http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B0064P4O52] and [http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/1223-emboldened-electrons/id535134247])
===Release date===
Use the date the program/recording was 'released' (not the date it was first aired/broadcast, which is included in the release title).

If you are unsure of the date, don't enter it.
==Broadcast Collection Guidelines==
For shows (episodes) collected together, for instance on CD or as a download.

Unless specified below, follow the Broadcast [[Style/Specific types of releases/Broadcast programs#Release Guidelines|release guidelines]] above for these releases.

Examples:
*<bdi>[[release:c9b2fe3f-5a49-4bff-ace9-ece2a2102158|Fear on Four, Series 1]]</bdi>
*<bdi>[[release:d6f23f0b-236d-4a8d-95d3-87654754010d|The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Primary Phase]]</bdi>
===Release group types===
Additional to the Broadcast release guidelines: If all shows are from the same run of a program, do not add "Compilation", unless it is a curated selection (for instance, 'best of...').
===Release name===
The release title should be the title as given by the source. The [[Style/Titles|usual guidelines]] for release titles apply.
===Artist credit===
Additional to the Broadcast release guidelines: If each track/show varies in its release credit, only credit artists that the overall program is credited to, or that are consistently credited on each track. If there are none, use 'Various Artists'.

Example:
*[[release:c9b2fe3f-5a49-4bff-ace9-ece2a2102158|Fear on Four]]: Edward de Souza (the host, the only artist consistent across shows)
===Track listings===
Track titles should be the title of the segments given by the distributor.

If no track titles are given, follow the guidelines for Broadcast [[Style/Specific types of releases/Broadcast programs#Release name|Release name]] for each track: YYYY-MM-DD: Program Name [, Series 1234, ][#1234][, "Program Title"][: Location]
===Recordings===
Tracks (shows) should share a recording with the individual show releases, if available and the same.

If so, the recording titles follow the individual show release (rather than the title given by the distributor in a collection). For instance, the track in the collection may be called 'Program Title', while the recording is called 'YYYY-MM-DD: Program Name [, Series 1234, ][#1234][, "Program Title"][: Location]'.
===Release date===
Use the date the collection (e.g. the CD or download) was released.

If a collection has been released over time (for instance, the distributor adds episodes to a page as they are released), use the date of the final addition.

If you are unsure of the date, don't enter it.
==Series==
Broadcast releases of the same program can be collected in a [[Style/Series|series]].

Use the 'Release Group' series type, unless the series is additionally collecting an attribute that may be release-specific (for instance, shows/releases put out by a specific distributer).

The same series can include both individual show releases and grouped releases.

Examples:
*[https://musicbrainz.org/series/c41e2179-b1ab-4e43-834c-0e458795bcaa?tport=8000 Fear on Four series]
*[https://musicbrainz.org/series/57ef6c0a-e205-4266-bebf-ec9b4bc6003e?tport=8000 Escape Pod series]

Video Game Soundtrack wiki page draft

(subset of the 'Soundtrack' page)

Application

Video game soundtracks (video game music, also known as vgm) covers music that is mainly associated with video games. Unless specified below, follow the Soundtrack guidelines.

Guidelines

There are two distinct categories of vgm:

  • 'Traditional' releases on music platforms and music media formats, or copied directly from a game disc or game download. These are usually official releases.
  • 'Gamerip' releases of game audio extracted from game files, or recorded from gameplay. Usually requiring third-party tools, and editorial decisions by a 'ripper'. These are bootleg releases.

Traditional, unaltered, vgm releases should be entered using the details on the release, as with any other music release. If the release is taken directly from a game disc or download, then the details (release date, packaging, cover art, barcode, etc) can be taken from the game itself.

Gamerips should be entered as bootlegs. They should only contain information related to the 'release' of the gamerip itself. For instance, if the original public source of the gamerip did not include artwork, no artwork should be added. Do not fill in unknown data - for instance, a gamerip release date will rarely be the same as the game release date.

Examples:

Release

Title

Follow normal title guidelines.

Disambiguation

Gamerip releases should follow this format for the disambiguation: [ripper name] [console] gamerip

Artist

The release artist of a vgm release should include the writers (composers and/or lyricists) and performers featured on the front cover. Use only writers and performers who are featured on the front cover (or the spine); don't add artists from the back cover or the inside of the booklet or other places. If the credits contain both writers and performers, begin with the writers. If there aren't any dominantly featured artists (for example, for a compilation of game themes), use the special artist Various Artists.

Where there are no writers or performers featured on the cover (often the case for gamerips), you may have to research elsewhere to find specific credits. If they can be identified, the specific people that were involved should be credited. If you can not find specific credits, the credit may go to a named 'sound team'. If no credits can be found, as a last resort, you can credit the studio that developed the game.

Track

Title

Use the titles the tracks came with/were given by the original distributor.

When there are no obvious or 'official' track titles (for instance, the tracks are ripped from files that are not descriptively titled) use the most widely accepted/widespread titles. If there are no existing titles, exercise your judgement. In this case you may choose to use the original file names, corresponding game level/scene titles, or other fan-created titles. Unlike most titles on MusicBrainz, these may be updated as new information comes to light.

Artist

If you can identify specific artists for each track, that artist should be placed in the track's Artist Credit field. If there are no track artists, use the release artist instead.

Recording

Unique gamerip recordings should follow this format for the disambiguation: [ripper name] [console] gamerip

Work

The title should be just the basic name of the track.

The name of the game should be placed in the disambiguation comment along with an additional distinguisher if applicable (often the year), separated by a comma. If the work has a descriptive title (e.g. “Love Theme”), it should be included after the game title. If the song has the same name as the game, there is no need to duplicate the title in the disambiguation.

Examples (disambiguation in link, italics):

In addition, each part of a soundtrack may be linked to one or more 'complete soundtrack' works with the use of the 'part of' relationship.

Examples (disambiguation in link, italics):

Release group

Releases representative of the same game, that contain the same core recordings, should be grouped into the same release group.

(The bracketed text below will be removed or left when a community consensus is reached re. whether to group gamerips and official recordings into the same release group.. )

This [does not] includes grouping gamerips and official soundtracks, [even] where the source recordings are the same. [It does include grouping gamerips of the same game, including rips from different formats.]

Curated selections (consider artist/label intent), samplers, or releases that come in different volumes, should be in a separate release group.

Game scores (which showcase the background music of a film/show) should not be merged with game soundtracks (albums of pop songs heard in whole or part in the background of a game).

Examples:


Tags

Video game soundtrack releases of any kind can have the vgm tag added to them.

------

early draft: Raw Formats

Raw formats, or 'native' formats, are non-standard audio files packaged with video game releases. For instance, MIDI or ADX music formats. They may sound different depending on what system is used to run the files, and often need to be decrypted and decompiled to get a traditional playable audio file.

When entering raw formats, add the video game as an official 'traditional' release, using artwork and details from the game package. Also:

  • If the file format is made to be looped, the track length should be 1 loop
  • If a release contains various distinct formats or folders, you may split them into different mediums.
