Release groups, ISRCs and bug fix release: May 24th

The next update of the MusicBrainz server will happen on May 24th. For this update we will have the following new features:

  1. Release groups: Group together like releases (same titled releases by the same artist) into one group.
  2. Support for attaching ISRC codes to tracks.
  3. Bug fixes.

No later than this weekend I will post a call for testing with details on what has changed and what bugs were fixed. Stay tuned!

    Great! Will release groups be exposed through the web service?

    I’ve really got mixed feelings about this. It’s great to see these new features…but it’ll cost me my spare time again! ;-)

    P.s. Will the http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ISRC page get some love as well before the release? :-D

    Where has there been discussion on style and guidelines for appropriate use of release groups?

  5. Mayhem says:

    @prodoc: Hopefully, yes. :)

    @voice: No, there hasn’t yet. Would you care to start that?
