For Penguin Discog: Want only live tracks FM members on when choosing live drop down?

[wetcamelfood]

Marty originally envisaged having a “Live albums” sorting group for the discography but there are too many albums (& singles) that have “some” live tracks so we went with “Live recordings” as a sorting group.

However, he thought that something like “Sounds Of The Seventies: 1976”:

…should have the live tag attached to it because it has “a” live track on it (Peter Frampton’s “Show me the way”).

Now I thought we should put this to a vote because when you go to the FM group discog & choose the “Live recordings” drop down, you get this album mixed in with other albums that should be there (like “25 Years: The Chain”, “Live (1980)” etc.).

Because this album has a FM track on it (SYLM) this is why it must come up in the FM group discog.

I personally would find an album like this “in the way” if I did a FM live recordings search but I didn’t want to dictate the situation. Naturally if the majority here feels the way Marty does about this topic then we’ll leave it as is but the vote will be the decider.

As usual, because the database is either “is or isn’t” this should be a straightforward vote. We’re against having a new “live recordings by unrelated artists” category because information about unrelated artist’s live recordings is probably best obtained for those artists websites (in our opinion). I know saying this sounds like we’ve decided before the vote begins but we just mean in terms of trying to keep from adding too many new categories too far away from the focus of the discography if we can. We just thought a yes or no approach would be easiest, unless again, many here feel with good reason it should be dealt with in other ways & we’ll discuss if that does turn out to be the case but aside from that we’d prefer to just get the votes in this thread.

Thanks for your ops once again in advance.
