Not Classical Release marked as Classical

When Songkong and Jaikoz categorise matched releases as classical or not classical. This allows us to do things slightly differently if a release is classical such as adding the composers name to the release title or settings the principal performers (and not the composer) as the track artist.

But the MusicBrainz database we use do not do the categorisation for us, we have to do it ourselves using a heuristic algorithm. And there are always going to be a few non classical releases incorrectly added as classical just because of the nature of the data added pushes them towards classical.

The not_classical_release.txt file can be used to prevent any release being incorrectly categorised as classical. If you have any such albums please post the MusicBrainz Release Id (and optional album/artist name) and I will add to the not_classical_release.txt file for the next releases of SongKong and Jaikoz.

You can check this quite easily by opening the spreadsheet view in Jaikoz/ or spreadsheet report in SongKong and looking at the Is Classical column and noting if any releases with this field enabled are clearly not classical

Here is one to begin with:

486c04ad-f06d-456f-86fe-9d3e74d2a697:Welcome to the Pleasuredome/Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Here’s a few I have come across:

Nina Simone - 1965 - I Put A Spell On You: 1705cc1e-0235-48d9-b908-300fd1270ac7

Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin - 1969 - Serge Gainsbourg - Jane Birkin: 4b897386-8ad7-33cc-ac1d-a42830d201a8

Arthur Lyman Group, The - 1958 - Taboo: 6108a708-e68f-49ac-8e8b-e84994cec964

So, is it basically the release id that is the relevant thing in the file, or does it need to meet a specific convention?

Sorry, I don’t understand the question

Never mind, I will try: put lines with the mb release id first with = and some description, in the file. See what happens.
