[mb-users] Is an individual track only part of one release or can it be included in multiple releases ?

[Chris B]

at the moment tracks are attached to releases as 1-1, not 1-n, but i
believe that is the eventual intent.

you could indirectly relate the tracks by relating the 2 releases
together with http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/EarliestReleaseRelationshipType.
hopefully the database will eventually use this, and similar ARs to
merge tracks.
