Box sets are even more different from albums than EPs. EPs are like shorter albums. Box sets aren't like longer albums.

Of course it is.

The bag isn't a potato though. 🙄

And that's what the box set is. If you wanted to add that certain potato, and the potato next to it, into your charts, then that's ok. If you add the bag and all that it contains as a potato, you're incorrect.

I've got no problem with compilations either, but when does a box set become a box set? It's not always very obvious (especially now with digital), and what about dual albums etc. It could get messy digging around this, and I'm half-inclined to leave things as they are.

We discussed this!
Box sets which come the problem are: album-collections. studio or live. and why is that? because rating them is POINTLESS and RUINS the charts for nothing.

Also I said before:

I guess there can be a solution for the moment by just exclude the most shown highly-rated ones, and for other ones it can by notifying through Edit Album option for each. what do you think?

Good point. A baggie doesn't equal the dope inside or the one holding it.

But if you try to fry up a carton (let's use the correct terminology) of eggs - you're gonna be eatin a lotta cardboard, son!

Conclusion - Container does not = objects within it.

It's not what the container is but what is inside that counts. Eggs in a box or a basket are still eggs.

Yeah. It is. Does it really matter? 🤡 I'm just adding to the already off-topic conversation.

And Box Sets aren't albums. That's why they're called Box Sets. If your argument is that EP's aren't albums, than my point seems more than relevant.

there's your key word.

EPs are like albums, only shorter and with less songs (sometimes not even that, sometimes the only thing that makes them EPs and not albums, is that the artists refer to them as that)

There's your key word "like". They aren't albums, even the artist know it. But a box set is a set albums, think of them as mutlitple albums or CDs, often containing material not available elsewhere.

it's not really an album as it's only 18 minutes long, but it's got 8 tracks. The policy is to be a bit lenient, so its on the site. I'd say that's about the minimum length to get on here (it should be 25 mins if we were playing to the letter).

But I wasn't calling for their removal once added. But boxed sets are albums.

Erm.. The reason we had that discussion was that an EP was about to be deleted. And I seem to remember you agreeing with that.

And I don't see how are box sets more of an album than EPs.
