I'll write this feature request down. But there need to be some more brainstorming rounds before this can move forward. And thinking about it, such a feature would be more suited for the wiki (pinging @enderdrag64) with crosslinking. In other news I just released a very small improvement: hovering of the Hi-Res badge now shows the resolution. The information was already there and is now exposed. Might be useful for some.

According to https://5catstudios.com/listen the digital album is scheduled for April, 26th.

I don't know if it is any indication that there is an expanded version is coming but the ISRC codes for this album have a gap at the end - about 7 cues. USNLR2400092 until USNLR2400098 are not on the album. "Lisan al Gaib" is USNLR2400099. 🤷🏻‍♂️

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY it is - will be released also digitally tomorrow: 39 Tracks / ~82 minutes https://www.fmdb.net/releases/36cad9b8-ffb2-4571-9a8b-d7e305e97953 Took only a couple of months but the digital comes friday courtesy of Back Lot Music in 24 Bit / 96kHz: https://www.fmdb.net/releases/01218f1b-2b50-46a1-b89c-58da29bebb10

The various sortings will be rolled out to artists, productions and search results. This is already on my list. Something like Discogs is doing grouped by year. I'm also open for suggestions to make it really useful. To which movie/television series/videogame does a release belong to? Who worked on a release? To which movie/television series/videogame does a track belong? Is a track a variant, e.g. Alternate? Yes, that is the vision. And with all visions it is not certain this vision will realize in its full form.

This is now possible for releases of a label. Example for La-La Land Records: https://www.fmdb.net/labels/bc873b93-4c11-44f5-934b-37199ae9ea53?sort[release_date]=asc

Yeah, you are right - it ressembles a ribbon. I'm open to make it more remarkable when I get the chance to do so. Let's see what the future holds.

The logo is intended to be remarkable. I think it takes a while to get used to it. I had this system in place a couple of years ago. It works for western languages but gets difficult when you have titles in japanese, chinese, russian and so on. The search should be the tool to find what you are looking for but I already know that there is a lot of room for improvement. This will take some time but I had to start somewhere. Sure. This main differences are that each release has its own page. This makes it easy to point to a specific release instead of having a page with all possible versions of a release. The linked productions are another aspect. This provides a further dimension of linked information. In addition, as many credits as possible are listed on a single release page. Exactly this. Sometimes this information is already provided by the labels (e.g. for many of the La-La Land Records releases) or it is done by people like @JNHFan2000 in various threads like This is an ongoing effort and I hope that some people - maybe from here - will be interested in helping FMDB growing further.

All jokes aside thank you all very much for the kind words. Ambitious? Absolutely. I think different in the way one can browse through all the data. You'll be able to sort by date - ascending, descending - in the coming days. And comparing FMDB with Discogs is a great compliment. Oh, what a pity. It was worth a try.

After a very long time I am very proud to introduce the fully redesigned FMDB - you can find it under https://www.fmdb.net The vision of this non-profit project is to provide a comprehensive and detailed database of soundtrack releases and recordings. Each release contains at least one production (e.g. a film) with its own credits. This makes it possible to accurately list the various credits. General credits for the entire release are listed separately. Individual tracks are assigned to productions, so you can see which film, TV series or video game they come from. Want to see which episode the tracks from the many STAR TREK releases are from? No problem at all. But all this only works with people who are as obsessed with detail as I am. And I'm looking for you. To make sure the quality is right, there should be a group of people who take care of it, like curators in a library. The next feature will be the ability to create your own user account. You will then be able to report errors in records. I'm happy to receive any kind of feedback to help make FMDB a viable tool for the soundtrack community.

Pre-recording concert which was planned for Nintendo Live 2024 in Tokyo:

Super late to this topic but I still have the backups from Scorepedia and also registered scorepedia.org again. If there is any interest I'd gladly hand over the files and can also help with setting up a server.

Hello everyone. As a matter of fact the Scorepedia as a project didn't get off the ground. Currently there is only one active user (Justin Boggan) and I have no longer the time to support and maintenance the project in any capacity. As of now I have set the wiki to read only with a description and link to this topic. If anyone wishes to continue the project, I'd be more than happy to transfer the database and associated files for further progress. Beside running the wiki alone it could be possible to transfer everything to Wikia. If you are interested please get in touch with me. Thanks. - Marcus

Hello everyone. As the activity in this thread and in the wiki itself has stalled I'd like to take the opportunity to make it attractive again by changing the look and feel of the wiki. There are plenty of possible skins to chose from: Foreground (Demo)MediaWikiBootstrap (Demo)Metrolook (Demo)The skin should not only be visually appealing but also mobile friendly. Any thoughts?

Wow, this is an tremendously detailed article. Thank you very much, Uni. Uni, would you mind adding some information about registration to the first posting? Anyone who wants to register can contact me through this site or via mail to contact@scorepedia.org.

One word: Wow! Thank you very much for this in-depth article. I will update the startpage of the wiki to add information about contribution and maybe even add a small showcase for outstanding articles like Poltergeist.

Yes, the project is still active and if you don't mind sending me a private message, I'll be happy to create an account for you. Nope, it didn't. I can assure you that the project is dead when the wiki got deleted.

I have purged those accounts and also added email confirmation for each account. If you want to contribute you need to confirm your email. If this doesn't work I'll restrict registration for the time being.

A project like Scorepedia can be much more specific as Wikipedia when it comes to such specialized topics like filmmusic. Obviously this is true for every specialized wiki. If I see what trouble the La-La Land Records entry on Wikipedia got I see the value in such a project like Scorepedia. The greatest problem we have is the will and time to participate. In the last months I was unable to devote any time to the project. But this is the vital point. Having enough time and will to support this idea. So the question is: Shall we proceed with the project? Or should Scorepedia ultimately die to have an answer to the question if such a project useful? I've taken care of these users.

I have a suggestion for all articles in the Score category: The name of the article shouldn't contain the phrase Score and/or Soundtrack. Unlike the Wikipedia there won't be an article for the film itself as it would make no sense. It looks just strange to have it here or there.

Just a note: The server is currently unavailable due to unknown reasons. The tech-team of the hosting company is aware of the problem and is dealing with the situation. Once the server is back up, I'll inform you. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. And we are back.

I'm currently working on that. But your basic intend was right: Just copy the template from Wikipedia and you're set. However, in this occasion a bit more work obviously needs to be done. I've successfully integrated the template. You can see a use case here: http://en.scorepedia.org/wiki/Super_8#Soundtrack_Releases_and_Cue_Lists

And, please, don't hesitate to just create a rough and unfinished page. Even with small basic information these pages can lay the foundation for further, more detailed work. It doesn't need to be perfect in the beginning.

One one hand much stuff has already been done. I just imported a good dozen composer pages from Wikipedia to have a solid basis. And on the other hand I'm too busy to fully focus on the Scorepedia right now when it comes to the technical side of things. But I think we have a solid stand on which we can build up. Just browse to the page you want to create. If the page doesn't exist it will tell you how to add the page. You need to be registered and logged in to create pages.

Does this mean we're ableor allowedto import pages from Wikipedia? Will any edits we make be limited to the local page? (In other words, changing an imported page on Scorepedia won't do anything on Wikipedia, right?) This would save a considerable amount of time and effort. Rather than constructing entire encyclopedic pages from scratch, we could import information (particularly about composers) and add or change things to make it more appropriate to this site. It would provide a wider base as a foundation to build on. Yes, as Wikipedia and Scorepedia use the same Creative Commons License and this allows us to import anything from Wikipedia we wish to. Any edit we do is limited to Scorepedia only. If you (and everyone else) wishes to use this feature please approach me with a list of pages to be imported as this is something I need to do directly on the server. The process itself is really resource intense causing the browser to stop the import. I think the latter option would be best. It would be good to have all track information available for each release of any given score, but having to retype all that informationif it's there and useable alreadyseems like a waste of time. Well this is really a long term feature but it's definitely on the roadmap. I like that a lot. Wasn't there a thread here somewhere listing all cues from a session? Can't find it anywhere.
