Neither having a Spotify account nor aiming to compete in the race for adding the most Spotify links, but partly having to face half of the changes done to tracks added by me going for Spotify links (in 80 % of the cases in spite of existing clips),

You don't "have to", you choose to. The person who added the Spotify link is responsible for the accuracy of the link, not the one who created the performance entry.

You still seem to think you "own" the performances you created, and all their related metadata. This is not the case. You're only responsible for the data you created or altered.

this unfortunately is of no real help to me.

By know we all know you hate all things Spotify. Not sure what you are hoping to achieve by repeating this endlessly, except irritating the people who put a lot of time and energy in developing this database.

Bastien, we both know that your above comments are demagogic, imputing, next to entirely unfounded etc. and therefore misleading (plus hurting). IMO, that can't be considered fair play.

The editors participating here would deserve my answering more in detail and decently rebuting your points. Unfortunately, it has to be assumed that you would not recommend my doing so.

Wow Erik that is 2 threatening/ mean spirited posts to you from Bastien within the last 2 weeks.

Apparently difference of opinions rather than knowledge doesn't go well around here

At this rate, you will never see that managing editor position.

Wayne, thanks for your noticing and drawing a conclusion. As for the attachment: 'yes' in Greek is 'ne', which in other languages means no or don't... Interestingly, you mention a managing editor position. Even if I had ambitions to apply, they, as you point out, apparently would be in vain.

Anyway, we are still waiting for the management to explain why Spotify, an in terms of data unreliable (yet highly appreciated) platform half of the editors didn't subscribed to and therefore are being discriminated, is overproportionally prioritized at many levels - and why numerous profound arguments not to do so are being ignored and/or grimly fought.

16 days after this news item was posted, 4.583 additional Spotify links were added:

This is on average 286/day! Great job everyone!

Great. What’s the split between new entries vs. existing entries?


For what it's worth, this was my exact thought as well. How many new entries are made every day on average and of those how many will include a Spot link? Subtract those out, and you have an estimate of how many links are being added to existing entries, but still no way to attribute those additions to this enhancement.


Nevertheless, there's no harm in the enhancement.

Actually Erik does have to get involved and waste his time on something he didn't create. If someone writes an error report on a wrong Spotify link or Youtube link, There is no way that I'm aware of (correct me if I'm wrong) to send an error report to the person that added the Youtube or Spotify video. The person that added the song has to deal with it.

Here is an example:

https://secondhandsongs.com/error-report/46640

I added the song, but Thom added the Youtube video. The only way for Sjef to write an error report is send it to me. So I either correct or I can be send to Thom to correct. Which would be really crazy. But actually I could since there are no rules for error reports from editors to editors.

Which is another subject not addressed.

None of the managing editors has said anything about error reports, so I'm guessing they are awaiting a decree from you.

Ok, I'm done for now.

(a) If someone writes an error report on a wrong Spotify link or Youtube link, There is no way that I'm aware of (correct me if I'm wrong) to send an error report to the person that added the Youtube or Spotify video. The person that added the song has to deal with it.

(b) None of the managing editors has said anything about error reports, so I'm guessing they are awaiting a decree from you.

(a) Exactly, and that goes for all changes done by anybody else than by the originally adding editor. He/she is supposed to care for it (which way ever...).

(b) Increasingly, redefining and/or restructuring the 'error report complex' appears to become a matter of basic necessity.

I'll reply using the example given : Error report #46640

Performance You Don't Have to Say You Love Me was created by DashBoardDJ856 but the current Youtube video added by Limbabwe .

If a user now files a report for the Youtube video, DashBoardDJ856 has 2 options:

  • Either he deals with the report himself
  • Else he reattributes it to Limbabwe

Both options are fine.
