I brought this up in the PA thread about MMA, but as it slipped by unanswered and as it is about this site, I'll re-ask it here Smile

The content (discography) is currently set to update by itself with http://musicbrainz.org/ - MusicBrainz.org (thanks to Phil for programming this stuff !!) So basically the admins/collabs at http://metalmusicarchives.com/ - MetalMusicArchives.com would need to work mostly on: new bands, DVDs and bands classifications, forums animation/moderation, reviews/shouts moderation and global quality of the site, working closely with Graphix and me.

While this MusicBrainz thing saves a lot of effort adding endless amounts of albums, it makes a lot of unnecessary additions as well. For example the Metallica discography is a terrible mess of unofficial releases, duplicates and other weird things. Should we report these things (noticed some mistakes with Judas Priest as well, haven't dared to check others out yet) or is there enough work already with getting the whole site off the ground?

Yeah I�ve noticed many errors and leaveouts too. We�ll probably have to look through all artists to see if their discographies are in order. And add musicians and album details too in the process. All in all it is a help that lots of albums are added in advance though. You have to sort of fill out the holes instead of starting from scratch.
