Hello all, I'm generally very skeptic about "digital releases" and especially about their addition to Db. A well-known artist which performs during a half of century (e.g., Jerry Lee Lewis) has a thousands of recordings. Anyone who knows a little the combinatorics can compute (or simply imagine) the number of possible combinations from these thousands by 10, 12, 15, 20, etc. (not billions, but much more), and each one can be titled by anyone as a "digital release". When we will add to them the number of possible combinations of recordings by Jerry Lee with the ones by other rock 'n' roll artists such as Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Bill Haley, etc., we can imagine (not compute!) this infinity of possible "digital rock 'n' roll compilations". Do we need this infinity here in MB? ----- Valeriy Orlov (RocknRollArchivist) -- View this message in context: http://musicbrainz.1054305.n4.nabble.com/Are-different-digital-downloads-different-releases-tp4646206p4646227.html Sent from the MusicBrainz - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
