Change band name and format?

Deleted user

I'm curious, is it possible to change the name of a band slightly? I recently added an ร” Paradis album, but the main entry for the artist shows up as simply O Paradis, presumably because this is how Amazon lists it. Nitpicky, but this isn't correct, and I'd like to fix it.

Oddly enough, it does show up correctly under the album entry and on my collection page, due to how I typed the name when entering the album.

Actually, more important: Why isn't there a way to indicate the format of the release?

I think the thing with the ร” may be presentational, I'm sure Tom will fix it.

Good point about the format, would be a nice feature to have, then again it's something else to get input incorrectly. I use tags on some of my music items to differentiate between CDs, vinyl, LPs, 7" etc.

It's not presentational. The little caret-looking thing is a circumflex, used in Esperanto and Portugese, among other languages. He also uses it on every release, with the exception of a handful of compilations.

The format thing, for me, isn't just a nice feature to have, but absolutely necessary. Until that gets added (if it does), I can't really list my collection here :/

I know what it is, & it's present on every page BUT the artist page meaning there is a presentational bug in the way characters are rendered on that page.

I think you misunderstand my tone. I wasn't bashing you, but thought you considered it merely an artistic flourish or design choice and felt it worth mentioning that it's a relevant part of some languages.

Regarding the artist page, I had tried to add the artist previously from Amazon, thinking I'd be able to edit the name. Unless it should have updated it when I added the album?

I've changed the name, I will add music format in the future.

Much appreciated, as I'd love to move my stuff over from Discogs :D

Hey Tom,

Can you change the name of the group to "S.H.E."? It's an acronym of their names.
