Re: How to recognize homebrew discids

Your suggestion does not seem very reasonable to me. How can you expect someone who doesn't really care about technical details, who even does not know what is a homebrew, to recognize that the perfectly legal and brand new release he is submitting may look strange to some users? IMO if you want to enforce such a position, then you should request that Picard should be modified in order to recognize a homebrew and warn the submitter that there might be an issue.

Can we just don't start it?
I'd keep DB clean, rather than keep all those homebrew DiscID's.
It is in the hands of submitter, to put a note to DiscID addition, if it is legal for example and looks like homebrew.
It also causes confusion, if that CD-r was burned from badly ripped mp3s or something, making different times on same tracks.
It also can make bogus CD release for Digital Media only, if burnt, and so on.
I personally prefer remove such ID's, with later re-submitting if needed (with notes added). If the first submitter cares, he will notice such edit pending. If he doesn't - why should we rely on it?

And while ripping a bunch of older CDs I noticed two more which suddenly had missing disc IDs even though I'm pretty sure the disc IDs had been on MB once. I really don't see the point in removing disc IDs unless they were clearly attached to the wrong release or have track lengths that are far off from the real lengths.

Can we please stop this nonsense!?
