Since there is now a deadline for having a personal catalog printed, I am working very hard to add as many singles and CDs as possible.
I just run into some things, so that's why I just put it here on the forum.

My collections contain a number of singles and CDs with multiple artists, and I entered all of these artists.
Now these are also listed in my example (it takes the first artist, alphabetical order?) For the sake of clarity I would like to have these singles and CDs listed, but just under the heading of the artists from which I have the collection. So I don't want chapters or headings with 'other' artists. But no idea how to do this ....
And I would like to have the tracks of my singles listed, but I now see that this does not always completely fit on the page. Especially with CDs, only the first 5 tracks or something are listed. Can anything be changed about this?
Furthermore, I have previously indicated to a Catawiki member that since some changes have been made when entering the tracks (a while ago), I will therefore no longer see any tracks in 'my collections'. I always enter these and they can also be seen in the catalog.
CDs and singles that have already been entered by others and that I have added to my collection do show the tracks in 'my collections'.
But with the items that I entered after your change, I now also see no tracks in my example of my catalog.
And if I take over an existing item from the catalog, how can I change a track? I have taken over an item where the title of two tracks is not quite correct, but I cannot change this myself ?!

I hope someone here can help me with my questions.

Will the possibility of obtaining a personal catalog return in the future?

@ Renate I hope for you that the problem will be solved in time. Maybe send an email via contact page?

The names of the artists of the album in question (De Platina Edition) are listed in the details field. Then unfortunately we cannot do anything with it. If you still enter the artists for the relevant tracks, it will be fine.

My colleague Koos will take a look at this.

And if I take over an existing item from the catalog, how can I change a track? I have taken over an item where the title of two tracks is not quite correct, but I cannot change this myself ?!

You can do this by changing the item in the catalog. Assume it is the same item. If it is just a different variant, it is best to make a copy of the item and make the changes.

CDs and singles that were already entered by others and that I have added to my collection, will show the tracks in 'my collections'.
But with the items I entered after your change, I don't see any tracks listed in my preview of my catalog either. 

This is caused by the fact that with single A: Track is entered and also track nr 1 if this is not done then you will not see it

see entry Renate this is another entry Dick52

My proposal is therefore not to fill in the numbers for singles, but as soon as vinyl singles are chosen as carrier, number 1 automatically becomes A and number 2 B is entered!

Because we talk about A and B side with singles, I think I have indicated this before

You can do that by changing the item in the catalog. Assuming it's the same item. If it is just a different variant, it is best to make a copy of the item and make the changes there

Does this mean copy function with item?

This is not possible, if you have an item with 1 track less on it, then this will not work because fields will be empty. Consequence of error message

I have also indicated to Koos before to be able to copy everything, to make the changes, copy it and then paste!

but you can do that with tracks but you can't place the rest at once.

Ttracks works but the rest doesn't, this option should be there as an example Pepperm Beatles is at least 20x in the catalog and the tracks are the same, now it's a job to adjust them.

If there is the possibility to complete 1 album, save it and then just copy tracks etc. from there and just paste it into other items, it would save a lot of time

@ Dick52: when I click on the second link you put above, it says he can't find it ....
And I cannot manage to change the titles of the tracks for 1 specific item. As soon as I click on 'change item' my changes are already indicated (I had tried it before), but they are not saved.
But what's going wrong ... no idea!
This concerns item number 1853669
With CD1, number 07 must be 'Where fisheS go'. number 08 is in full 'Face and ghost (the children's song)', and number 09 is 'FeeL the quiet river rage.'
Maybe someone else will succeed?
For the rest, a lot of info that I will definitely take a look at, but not anymore today! ;)
Anyway, thanks so much for the comments!

Ok ... so I took over this item, because it was already there. But I'll see if I can adjust this.
 But also a question about item number 2168951 . I entered this single because of my Darren Hayes collection, but it is 1 track (plus a remix) in which many different artists participate. In my personal catalog example, he puts this single under 'N Sync, since it's the first name in the long list of artists. But I really want him under Darren Hayes. He can I get this done?
Okay....ggggggg

Apparently you managed to do the tracks, because I see it well there. I think you mean you can't change the field tracks. That's right, because I think that field dates back to the time before the introduction of separate tracks. That input field no longer exists and is only displayed. I think administrators will clean up that field one more time.

But I really want him under Darren Hayes. Can I get this done?

If you select from Darren Hayes in your collection and that artist is in the list of artists in the track list, then he should just be there.

Indeed, this would disappear in the future, but it is still easy at the moment.

And what if someone collects CDs from, for example, Dupri or Fred Durst? Or a less obvious Nelly Fortado or Destiny's Child? Are you going to change the main artist again? With so many items in which multiple artists play (compilation CDs especially), it is not necessary to make a choice of the main artist. It's just for form anyway.

With comics, it is also sometimes very annoying to have a cartoon character in your list that you do not collect and are still there. That's the result of collections!

Personally, I think Dupri or Fred Durst are more entitled to the title of lead artist, as they are even mentioned in the tracks.

I think the story is clear.

As a rule, you have main artist, the artist who releases the album track under his name.

Other artists who play along with their participation are guest artists. and if you select this artist you will also see his solo and other guest appearance if added.

There is a problem, take a fairly well-known number

can you also make a question of who all participate

But they are not mentioned, so no guest artists.

With compilation albums all 13 good etc.

they have a main artist who does not exist Various artists.

the rest are guest artists as soon as you select a guest artist, you will also see that his cooperation also appears well with all thirteen. It's actually mentioned there.

So the fact remains that Darren Hayes is not the main artist in the example mentioned. So I only made it Various artists (and not Various Artists, because I think those 2 must be merged).

If there is a main artist to be appointed, except for several artists, then I think Dupri and Durst are the main artists.

Hmmm .... I liked it better when Darren Hayes was the lead artist on that single, but I also understand that he is officially not.
Proposal: I temporarily adjust it again with Darren Hayes as the main artist, so that I can put it in my book that way.
Then I change it back again. Is this possible?

And I also wonder if there was any news about the fact that I will not see any tracks in 'my collections', and therefore not in my book.
Since I will probably be ordering this Thursday, there is not much time left to possibly change anything about this ....

As far as I am concerned it is possible for a while, but then everyone wants to and then the end is lost. Because what if you forget to change it back? Then the administrators have a lot of work to restore and they are already so busy!

And as for your other question, I think Marco and Dick have answered your question.

Is it a gift or are you going to a trade show soon that you have a deadline? You know that it takes a while for the Catalog to be created and sent? I believe that is more than 1 day.

What a pity, I had read about that. I hope the printer has quickly overcome his technical challenges, because it is nice for collectors to have their catalog in book form.

Are Rene, Marco and their team already looking for another printer?

No, I'm definitely not going to forget that! ;)
And indeed ... a book from my collection can only be ordered until the 31st, so that's why I hurry.
And my question about the tracks has not been answered yet. I don't know yet how this comes about and what I can do to set it up. I read that Koos would still look at this?

Hi Renate,

I have made an adjustment that ensures that you now see the tracks on the records just as they do in the catalog. This was a part that we had overlooked when we recently worked on it. Thanks for commenting!

Note that due to a fairly recent change when entering tracks, there are two fields with tracks:

- The old text field that contained them all. (this is the first one you will see. It is only there for reference)

- At the very bottom you will see the new list of new tracks. These are the tracks you entered that may not have been visible to you.

Can you handle it a bit again?

I don't see them in the Android app either. Has that now also been resolved? I think the old tracks field is still displayed there.

Strange ... just typed an answer and it is not listed now!
In the second chance then .....

@kozy: Yep, now I see the tracks (again) in my own collection! Completely happy with it! :)
They are now indeed at the very bottom, and not at the heading 'tracks'.
The strange thing is that these tracks are still not visible in the preview of my book that I am going to have printed.
Only the items I entered for your change have the tracks listed.
Anyway; so be it!
I ordered my book tonight because otherwise I will not have time for the 31st.

And another question: will there (ever) be the possibility to print a book from your collection again?
My music collection is now quite complete online (and soon in book form too!), But I have other collections that I would eventually like to have in book form.
