To Do

Below are entries that need to be taken care of. Feel free to edit them, as I'm not sure how to deal with them or am investigating at the moment.

• convert to various artists (?):
  • Hot 97
  • Louie DeVito
  • DJ Vibe
  • DJ P
  • Aggro Berlin
  • DJ Pool (is this the remix artist?) (beware: some tracks consist of more than one song!)
  • Mega Dance, Volume 2
  • Gone Wild (disc 2)
  • The Piano Sessions (disc 1)
  • Sunday School (Welcome To The Chuuch Volume 4)
  • Master Mix No.1 was already converted to VA, but both entries at discogs have different no. of tracks --G0llum
  • 2original (Mixed by DJ Neil Armstrong)
  • Saint Tropez 2002
  • DJ Clue fixed the artist, IMO this can be removed --G0llum
  • The Weightroom
  • 2original (Mixed by DJ Neil Armstrong) I think the track times are short enough to qualify for a mash-up album, and need no VA conversion --G0llum

• artist names (?):
  • <empty for the moment>

• no valid track names (?):
• artist names and album titles: Go West, Riders in the Sky (disc 1: High Noon), info: http://www.docrock.de/result.php?id=21s00101zz03719241000100010ZZZZZ01764852a9cb1138f6f5d159c8a19022&pt=Gibson%2CDon%2FCash%2CJohnny%2F%2B+Riders+In+The+Sky&pd=&v=1, http://www.artistindex.de/artist/107974/EN/1, http://www.trackserver.com/details/2988/20149399.htm, http://www.google.nl/search?q=cache:txLlCIXvEZgJ:www.curepink.cz/curepink/CurePink_home.asp%3FclassID%3D11442+%22go+west%22+%22Impossible+Dream%22+%22Streets+of+Laredo%22&hl=nl&client=firefox-a
• is this Elvis Presley? No - this is somebody who does Elvis covers, and could be called an Elvis impersonator, but it's definitely a different artist.
• same track listing, different track lengths:

  • accoustic

• Search for track titles with unimportant information, e.g.
  • Previously Unreleased
  • unreleased demo
  • unreleased

• Search for artist names in track titles and thus not following the ClassicalStyleGuide. Especially useful for (classical) composers. Search results often return tracks with the composer name in the track name and the performing artist (orchestra, pianist) as track/album artist. A lot of these releases can be converted to Various Artists releases. You can also check the other releases by that performing artist, because they often are wrong too. Only a few performing artists are composer themselves. Examples of artist names in track titles:
  • Vivaldi
  • J.S. Bach
  • W.A. Mozart
  • Grieg
  • Rachmaninov
  • Ravel

• Search for conductors in artist names, which might indicate classical releases:
  • conductor
  • cond

Suggestion

Extending the shown new mods with mods that are for an artist that your subscribed artist is part of (in the literal sense).

For example: I'm subscribed to Bob Dylan. When someone enters a song by 'Bob Dylan & Jack White' and thus creating a new artist, I wouldn't know about it without searching for Bob Dylan once a week, for example.

In a way all collaborations of Bob Dylan are related to Bob Dylan, even if the Related Artists algorithm doesn't say so.

Note to self: repost this to mb-users on July 12 2005...
