Release formats

Recommended Posts

I think it would it be a good idea to include, or display, the 'disc image' as shown for the release information screens, in the track or release listing pages as a little icon, say 15x15px, in a left-hand-side-most column.

 

The release format is shown on search results pages, in square brackets at the end of each result. However I think that it is just as important to deliniate this on the track & release listing pages.

 

I don't think that there would be much point in providing a sort option for this so-called 'release format column' although if easy to implement I guess there is no harm in providing it along with all the others.

 

At current I see that we have the following format icons:

Vinyl

CD

MC

in common usage. These three would be the ideal three to use.

 

Of course to these 3 main categories another couple of icons should be added - one for Digital Downloads, and one for MiniDisc (although I do not know how commonly used the MD format has been?).

Can you think of any official releases that have been on MiniDisc?

 

If there are some then, of course, we should Inlcude it but I'd be very surprised if anyone in this db had any.

 

The idea of having the format in the listings is a good one

breakbeat era, I had a 6 track promo of the album but that only.

 

any chance of the 12" 10" 7" being part of the formats as well?

How can we show difference between CD & DVD?

the lighter coloured one is better, also the dvd one could be the same as cd but gold or even purple as most dvd r's are that colour.

 

that maybe for the recordable dvd's but people will get the idea of the general difference, unless dvd r's change colour in the next few years.

 

video's should definitely included as many a rave video came out and if anyone ever bothers to do all the tape packs that came out in the past then it will go together with em.

 

also forget my rant about 12" 10" 7" as I thought it was about a format search again :rolleyes: .

I have a good one for Digital Download, (that I done earlier, Blue Peter style)

 

82/52h, 68/44h, 66/42h = (0)1010010, (0)1000100, (0)1000010

 

convert into a 6x4 table:

 

010100
100100
010001
000010

 

:biggrin:
