Case I found is 64 Forever with https://csdb.dk/sid/?id=133926 that redirects to front page, new URL seems to be https://csdb.dk/release/?id=133926 (sid -> release). Maybe batch check them and convert as needed? Maybe use ID from any of the 2 Necta link boxes with new URL?

That example is just added using the wrong necta link field --- should have been the release, not the sid.

velusip All I ever wanted was some Sunshine. 89 Posts #1234 (4 years, 11 months ago)	Regarding artists which should be groups, I want to leave this one intact for a little bit as an example (I'll fix it later): - Example KML (Raphael Ludwig & Jochen Feldkoetter) . - The alias direction ends up being backwards and cannot be switched since there is only one, directional field. - This creates odd language on the artist profiles (saying the actual artist is an alias of a group is ingenuine). - Instead, we should use group association for this. - Music is credited to all involved artists individually and the containing groups. - It also handles group membership changes over time/per release. I know that most music databases and playback software do not handle this properly (its been an annoyance of mine for decades), but necta can.

AtomicReindeer 46 Posts #1239 (4 years, 11 months ago)	velusip: hmm... shouldn't it have been tested before accepting (release 133926, sid 50755)? Also when visiting the Add Links page as normal user, the fields are all empty... or does it allow multiple? Then it should still show, and use commas or spaces (something like the tag page). Submited anyway, I hope in the other side it lets you (re)move the invalid number.

I dunno if that counts as "explicit lyrics" or not, but if so… it could do with that little "explicit" icon. God, I feel like one of those over-protective parents, now.

But looks like Necta has taken 2^32-1 (possibly an error flag?) = 4294967295 and then divided by 1000 for the kilobits. Since these values are computed for us and not typed in by humans, this might suggest a bug rather than a "correct db info" issue.
