 | leonard ● BLANK Member since Jun 2011 45472 Points Moderator | Maybe it's an option to have a format 3". You can't see it on the scans how big something is. We have several types of jewel cases used for regular issues: 1. the "normal" old fashioned ones 2. slim jewel cases (most with the notorious tag) 3. cardboard sleeves 4. digipacks Is it an option to categorize these or do we type this every time in the notes. |

 | thatsunday Member since Dec 2012 4541 Points Moderator | It would be nice to have a drop down menu option to enter the packaging type, maybe with an example somewhere for reference. This would bring the naming in line. For example: I know slimline jewel cases as two piece boxes. Some people say jewel box, some jewel case. Digipack > Digipak and so on.

 | Dr Doom SUBS I wanna eat an artichoke once in a while Member since Feb 2008 25207 Points Administrator | I think having scans means that we shouldn't have to mention the packaging all that often unless it's something unusual. It's always hard to get a balance of having enough useful disc/vinyl types vs having too many so that people get confused (and possibly put off) entering their own CDs into the database. It sounds cheeky but I think most people aren't too interested in whether a jewel case is slim or wide. Once again a balance between discogs style mega-detail vs the average music fan |

 | Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | OK re the packaging, but a menu option for 3" might be useful. We've got a couple already |

| Dr Doom SUBS I wanna eat an artichoke once in a while Member since Feb 2008 25207 Points Administrator | I think 3" might indeed be useful. Anyone an expert on J-pop? I seem to recall it being the format of choice in Japan for mainstream pop releases. |

 | doormanperdomo Member since Jun 2010 16956 Points Moderator | A very small and insignificant observation: the Submission Form field reads CD Type, but the Alteration Form field still reads Vinyl Type |

 | okun69 Life is best at 45rpm Member since Sep 2010 668 Points | Not sure if this should be a separate topic or not, Will DVD singles be listed on here as well or will there be a separate world for them? |

I forgot about them. I'll add DVD as a format. Makes sense to include them here as I think many took the place of CD2 and include audio tracks along with the video. |

 | mark from eire Member since Apr 2011 546 Points | Hi What about CDV will they be added here? I just have the one CDV! But I know a few came out in the early 80's by different artists!! Plus I have a digital concert ticket that is a CDsingle with two different artists on it, so where do you think I should list this? Mark |

| Hawkmarty SUBS Do You Like It Here Now Member since Dec 2012 3048 Points Moderator | It's a CD Video so it's like a CD-ROM. Blur "Tender" is one. |

| vinylxs Member since Jan 2013 8 Points | A CDV is a Compact Disc Video - a strange hybrid of a CD single and laserdisc from the late eighties. The inside of the disc plays up to 20 minutes of music and the outside usually has one video clip which can only be played on a laserdisc player. The CD bit can be played on any CD player. (Not to be confused with a VCD which is a Video Compact Disc - which contains just over an hour of low quality video and audio. These are from the nineties but still popular in some Asian countries). |

That's an "enhanced CD" - a CDV is much older and the video is analogue so cannot be played on a computer. I've just uploaded one by the Timelords from 1988. Edited by vinylxs on 9th Jan 2013, 9:28 PM |

| nboldock Lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink. Member since Feb 2012 7167 Points Moderator | Ah, cheers for that... it's very interesting some of the strange hybrid formats that came and went in the 90s (and thereabouts!). Cheers. |

 | gregs45s SUBS Member since Apr 2012 7479 Points | I have a few 3" on 5" discs from the late eighties,not 3" in the 5" adaptor,but 5" discs with a space around the 3". I think there were quite a few issued so it might be worth including a 3"on 5" option. |
