13:08 - Kaos svarta mar

Works like a charm. Maybe add some more info/links about labels- fb, bc, yt? Then I could navigate more from here when I am listening to music.

12:36 - M C Vice

Does black metal and vtubers sound like an unusual combination? AI says no [link]

10:33 - MetalstomCrimina

Thanks M C Vice

10:24 - Starvynth

@ M C Vice: yeah, I've seen your countless album edits and I appreciate your effort. Thanks!

10:08 - corrupt

Ah yes. That bug was fixed a while ago. But all these albums need to be re-saved iirc. Starvynth might remember that better, he is usually holding my hands during these fixes as I don't work with the database a lot.

10:06 - M C Vice

open album. If no lineup shown, click edit. If there's a lineup shown in the edit page, just click submit. Lineup now shows.

10:05 - corrupt

Database stuff is between you and Starvynth and Yaniv
