Topic: Drei mal Drei

As a MusicBrainz newbie I have a three complex CDs I would like to add to the db, but I am unsure how.

The CDs are sold as bundle "Drei mal Drei" (http://www.amazon.de/Drei-Die-Trilogie- … =pd_cp_m_0) and alone "Drei Erzählungen" (http://www.amazon.de/Drei-Erz%C3%A4hlun … 3981194403), "Drei Märchen" http://www.amazon.de/Drei-Märchen-Chris … 785736282/ and "Drei Geschichten" (http://www.amazon.de/Drei-Geschichten-F … 3981031474). All three CDs have the same three narrators (Andreas Fröhlich, Oliver Rohrbeck and Jens Wawrczeck). For two of them there are also three authors (Drei Geschichten: Ambrose Bierce, Guy de Maupassant and Edgar Allan Poe; Drei Erzählungen: Sophie Dahl, Russel Banks and O. Henry) . For one is there only one (Drei Märchen: Hans Christan Andersen)

How many Release should I create one, three ore four? Which of all this names should I put into the Artist Field for the Release, who into the Artist field for the track (author or narrator) and how do I refer to the other?

Re: Drei mal Drei

You can create four: one for each of the standalone discs and one for the bundle. There is no audiobook style, though, so I am not sure. I would probably use the author in the artist field (at least for the track) and link the narrators with "spoken vocals" relationships... but that's just one opinion and I don't know if other people agree (well, I think the relationships are common sense, but I mean about the artist fields)

Oh, I forgot. Whatever you add first, the bundle or the standalones, if you wait a bit (around three hours or so, I think) you will be able to use the "Add Disc - Use existing tracklist" mechanism to add the other thing and avoid re-typing all titles and re-selecting all recordings :)

Re: Drei mal Drei

Okey, I tried the first CD: http://musicbrainz.org/release/61138854 … a5602cbc4f

I am unsure about the feat. narrator, but I think I have seen somewhere. The Names of the narrators are the only credited on the cover (The author is not credited). So I think having the narrators not in the Artist field is (for this release) not right.
