Matthias still studies computer science in Munich, Germany. He doesn't play any instrument and tries to compensate this with his music collection. His interests are broad and include german hiphop, swing, straight rock, sophisticated pop and some obscurities you don't want to be bothered with. He doesn't play any important role in the MusicBrainz community. To set it straight: He's a bloody noob.

Learned by advice

• Use "(feat. <artist>)" when adding artists to the track title except for orchestras. (See http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6262372)

• No "Nr." (See http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6262364)

• Parts in the disc title should be separated by slashes. (see http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6232220)

• Tempi in the track title should be separated by hyphens. (see http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6232082 and http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MultipleTitleStyle)

Open questions

• Use "(feat. <artist>)" when adding artists to the track title except for orchestras. (See http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6262372)

• And put a relation "perfoms" like here Le 4 octobre (see http://musicbrainz.org/style.html#styleguide-feat-artist). ♡j2-

• What to do if a release is in the database but with a different title?

• This did apply to two of my Djang Reinhardt discs and to some of my cheap samplers. First verify that the other title is not bogus and really correspond to an existing alternative edition. If it does, you'll have to decide on a case by case basis if it's worth creating another identical release (but the title). Some discussion about this is found at the bottom of the Jazz page. -- dmppanda 17:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• How can edits be protected?

• Sometimes the spelling is special, some annotations are non-trivial. Is there a way to subscribe to releases instead of artists?
  • At that time, there's only two ways to "protect" stuff: (a) write a big fat warning in the release annotation and/or (b) subscribe to the artists, and vote/watch the changes. Now, there's some discussion to address this in DataQuality. -- RobertKaye 2007-02-12

• Is there a better way to handle collaborations?

• Currently the database contains a lot of entries of the form Artist A & Artist B. There must be a better world somewhere.
  • Right now, no there isn't :D. I guess you might want to read NextGenerationSchema (sort of a MusicBrainz Next Gen), and if this point is not already covered there, bring up the issue. -- dmppanda 22:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• When does an artist feature a track, resulting in (feat. artist)?

• Obvious case: The track listing says: 'title (feat. artist)'. But how to tell apart the feature-style from the collaboration style? Is Tom Jones on the [wiki:
