The Spanish-language title versions of Hot Rats are simply called Ratas Calientes, so you can't get it from the title.

Por dios, that conclusion is n.m.m. how premature. As I said, you can usually get the language from the title.

It is a complication when the title is translated and the sung text is sung in the original language. It also happens that artists sing their hit in a foreign language (for example Sting with Spanish-language versions).

Fortunately, we do have a section 'Details'.

Wouldn't it be interesting for a collector to know which LPs are in the catalog with, for example, NL, Swedish, Japanese or foreign-language music in the catalog?

Asking the question is answering it. It would be interesting, but I have no idea if there are many collectors who actually think this is the case.

Are there any covers in a different language than the original first release with the same record?

There are! In some cases such specimens are very collectible.

As said: this happens (a lot) with Zappa. I had about 20 different versions of both Freak Out and Hot Rats

@Tammo

Yes, it can be widely spoken about, whether or not to enter the language field, I think about entering language field.

As Tammo also wrote, with a click on it you can see which Artists or Bands are singing in that language.

This way, you can also discard a bit from other platforms such as Discogs and 45cat, because they don't have that.

Then neither change the Genres and that's it.

This is yes, you do not have to enter a language, you can.

I think roughly half of them don't enter anything, because as I see it, especially lately, they just enter the record, without tracks.

It could also be checked, enter a record without Tracks, Red, indicate what has been forgotten, then this is done.

But that's another theme.

@Lyonesse:

I'm not over yet. The fact that other platforms do not have a language is an inappropriate argument. Moreover, it may be an indication that the language statement is not meaningful.

The question is also which target group is served by this. Language does indeed play a major role among collectors of Dutch-language music, but Dutch-language objects are often manufactured in the Netherlands and are therefore reasonably easy to trace on land. And I suspect that a very large part of the collectors collect an artist or a certain type of music.

In addition, many errors are made during the input. Adding an extra section means more errors and therefore more work for catalog managers, who are already unable to check everything properly.

Are there any covers in a different language than the original first release with the same record?

@Tammo:

Now that I have thought about it longer: in that case, mentioning the language has no added value. The collector will search by Artist to discover these records.

First back to Genre's.
I think there is a reasonable consensus on:

Italo-Disco Merge with Disco
Independent: Indie canceled
Dutch and Cabaret change to Cabaret
Pop and Rock: Nederbeat merge with Pop and Rock
Pop and Rock: Merge Nederpop with Pop and Rock

Should Folk: Americana remain or be changed to Americana?

With Vertigo I agree that we should not be too rigid, but please keep it a bit clear and do not end with the example given by Dick52 in wikipedia .

If "Dutch language" leaves the genres then perhaps add a language field and give everything that this genre had the language Dutch via a script. Otherwise information will be lost because not everything in this genre is cabaret I think.

@Vertigo

You wrote with a language field, more mistakes are made, I don't think that, those people who now enter everything, including the Tracks, could be agreed upon that they can also enter a language.

People should also be trusted with something.

Yes, the Catalogs will get better, and not worse.

@Tammo

If you start changing the Genres, it is then also possible to separate Pop and Rock.

B.V. ABBA, now listed under Pop and Rock, but ABBA is not Rock.

B.V. AC DC, is not Pop but Rock

I know very well how to search and that is certainly NOT based on language, but artist. Or sometimes, very occasionally, by genre, but only to see how much of that genre can be found, not just to buy something.

I resist to record in Dutch, Normal is rock

Italo-Disco merge with Disco

@Tammo:

I disagree. I understand that there is a consensus on this, but among Italo-disco and / or Disco fans that consensus certainly does not exist. In addition, Italo disco is often closer to House than to Disco. And the Italo disco collectors are really a very specific group. In this respect, rather leave the existing situation.

You wrote with a language field more mistakes are made, I don't think so,

@Lyonnese:

Well, then I propose that you become a lifelong manager of the Taalveld. :-)

@Tammo

If you start changing the Genres, it is then also possible to separate Pop and Rock.

Great idea! This merge has been bothering me for a long time.

But did you really think that I was going to worry if others would class Zappa as pop and others under rock. It will be worst for me, I collect Zappa and not genres. Do you really think that italo disco fans are concerned about how we organize it and would therefore diligently change that? They prefer to dance at the weekend and do what is customary at italo-disco.

Wouldn't it be better to change the name to Italo-Disco or something like that?

Separating Pop and Rock is fine in itself. However, there are a lot of items that have to be separated manually.

I don't hear anyone else about dropping Independent: Indie and changing Folk: Americana to Americana only.

The reason we used Pop & amp; Rock together is that it turned out to be difficult to indicate the exact boundary between them.

@Morits

As I kind of see it, you only look at it from your point of view.

Will I be a sausage, what can one do with that.

You can stick to Zappa, that's fine, if they are happy with that.

But we are now at the Genres, and that is not an insignificant part of the music.

In fact, I think one of the main parts in music

@Tammo

And as I see it, they are changing a lot at LastDodo, and that's a good thing, because downtime is behind tomorrow.

Also have a few things, like what I discussed a little bit in a previous post, adding the Tracks to records.

Without Tracks is like a sandwich without toppings, nothing to it.

And to program it in such a way that an error message appears if no tracks are entered.

If yes now also a bit, just enter the Tracks at the records and leave an empty one, an error message will immediately appear.

John, your frustration is clear and understandable. However, be aware that LastDodo is a wiki, with a fair amount of freedom. There can be several reasons that the first entry is not entering tracks at the moment. Other collectors have the option to enter the missing information.

Now that there are already several wishes regarding the Music section, wouldn't one of the biggest improvements to this section be that you can enter more than 3 images?

With a double LP, in addition to the front and back of the cover, 4 scans of the labels would also be of added value, I think. Plus that of any inserts.

We still have to build that but that seems a bit easier to do in the new catalog item page.

And a record sung in Dutch is different from one in German or Italian.

That is why I think one should create a field where one can enter the language, and I think it should be directly underneath the title entry of the record.

So that's not going to work. Because what do you do with, for example, compilation records or artists who sing in multiple languages, such as Linda Ronstadt? That would mean creating a language field for each track.

Regarding genres: I dropped out a long time ago, ie I fill them in obediently and occasionally I find it useful to make a list of nederbeat to see what is in it, but otherwise this is so person-bound that you only get heated discussions about which genre belongs to a song. My advice is: see it wider and wider and use it to make overviews. Whether or not Dutch and nederbeat genres is not that relevant (for me). It's what you use it for.

Well, it would also be nice if the input for the Main artist / band was in a different file than the (guest) artist.

The advantage is if you look for John Lennon as a band, you only get to see his solo work and if you look for him as a guest artist you will also find the band he played in.

@Tammo

About Genres.

Italodisco is Electronic dance music made mostly by Synthersizers.

Examples are Giorgio Moroder but also Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream.

Americana and Folk Americana are the same I think.

Americana is a mix of Country, Folk and Blues.

Examples of this are The Band, Townes van Zandt, John Hiat but also the Dutch Ilse DeLange.

Genres is and will remain a difficult theme

Not Kraftwerk in the beginning.

But what do you think of Die Roborter, The Robots or Das Model, I think are examples of Italodisco.

Such Bands have also moved with the times. LOL.

What do people say about Krautrock.

An important movement in music.

Later on a lot of Bands orientated themselves.
