ERRORS THREAD Report Errors and Omissions Here

This wouldn't be a problem if those members were able to subsequently go back and finish these entries off properly when the full details became available, but they can't (and most likely they wouldn't bother to do so even if they did have the necessary access permissions). I came across nine such albums just the other day during one of my FLAC searches on Google, and will post them here - along with the missing track times - in due course. So, would it be possible maybe for your FLAC sniffer program to be adapted so that it could identify all the album pages in the database where no 'Total Time' line exists below the track list? This would automatically include all the albums where there were no track times whatsoever included (many albums exist that do have individual track times included but no total time at the bottom, which isn't quite such a problem tbf, though I'm guessing it would be a lot harder to adapt the program to specifically seek out just the albums with no individual track times). If it was possible to identify all these albums and post a list of them here, then any member who so wished could go away and find the necessary info, before posting it back here ready for you guys to fix.

Are you able to edit the title to just "Lost Connection"? It seems there is no "The" in the title.

Even if we were to round up about 20 volunteers to help us out, that's almost 500 albums each to find the info for. It would probably take the best part of a year even if there was no loss of resolve, and past experience suggests that enthusiasm for projects such as this tends to be rather short lived. Let's see what a few others have to say on the matter, not least Eugene!

^ ^ I guess it's become an impossible situation for PA with so many artists now included on the site, and thus generating an ever-increasing avalanche of new albums that need adding. There's no way that collaborators alone could handle that volume of work, but allowing any registered member to add albums to the site totally unchecked has sadly resulted in the situation we have now. Even if it were possible to get a team of volunteers together to work their way through this huge build-up of incomplete album additions, the exercise would be somewhat pointless unless a system was devised that diverted all future new album additions by PA members to a 'pending approval' section where the details could be checked by approved collaborators before the albums were finally added to the site for public viewing. That task alone would probably be an impossible amount of work for our collaborators, never mind the task of finding out the info for and fixing all the existing incomplete entries that have built up here over the years.
