[mb-bugs] [jira] Commented: (MBS-2513) Having to edit both track and recording titles is a pain

[Per Starbäck (JIRA)]

    [ http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-2513?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14308#action_14308 ] 

Per Starbäck commented on MBS-2513:
-----------------------------------

I would prefer it if recordings usually didn't have their own titles, but inherited them. When presenting a recording use the most common title of its tracks. Only as an exception you'd set the recording title explicitly for a recording there are tracks for, when you know this is the right title, but there are lots of bogus/strange tracktitles.

Technically either there would be a special value (empty string?) denoting unset session title, or, if it's unfeasible to recompute most common title each time, cache that value in the recording title field, and have an extra bit stating that this recording title isn't set explicitly.

> Having the ability to have distinct titles between track and recording is a nice feature.
> However in at least 90% of cases, this is not needed.
> So when a release is entered with typos, or capitalization issues, you have to:
> 1. edit the release fixing N tracks
> 2. edit N recordings
> This is not painful, that clearly I've given up doing 2.
> We need a solution for that.
