[mb-users] Linking Disc IDs to Release events

[Philip Jägenstedt]

up 1 request!

This is something I've been thinking about too, it would let the
tagger select the right release automatically instead of the earliest
release which in some cases is a vinyl or casette -- obviously not
what we want. In some cases two releases have different cover art but
the same track listing, it would be useful to be able to link these
explicitly too.

But are release events actually objects with MBID:s (like releases and
tracks) that can be related to other objects, or are they just a
little table that belongs to the release object? I suppose it would
have to be for this suggestion to be feasible, correct?
