Whoa dude...that font size.

Is this for your own collection? If so, I guess that would be okay.....it's your collection.

I mean, not buying the physical album, but purchasing a digital download from Itunes, and make a seperate version entry in this case.
Is that acceptable?

Making a version entry in the band's database?

Yes. Making a version entry. Especially an iTunes entry.

I saw what you did there and I'm not so sure about digital versions. I would hold off on any more until we hear from a mod on this

Yes, you're right: many bands release their music on iTunes and Bandcamp long after the music was physically pressed. It'd be useless (and pointless) to document every digital issue of an album that's virtually identical to the original. Unless there's some difference (cover art, bonus tracks, remastered material etc), it's best to leave it.

It's already there. Can I edit it as just a stand alone digital version or should it be flagged for removal?

I will flag it. And submit a new entry.

No. Dude...check your PM

Unlike what Al noted, we DO differentiate other versions of releases based on format. So it is perfectly acceptable including a digital format if the album is also released by the band for digital distribution online. This is only the case if the album is distributed through an official source (like iTunes/Bandcamp or a link to a download on the band's Facebook page, for example). So if an album is originally released physically, and the band later decides to release it digitally, you can include both those versions. We do not include pirated digital albums. The album must be available for download (no streaming).

If the digital release is the same across official sources (iTunes, Bandcamp, etc.) then just amalgamate it into one digital version. In this case just note who distributed the album in the additional notes. If the releases vary - one has bonus tracks, different art, etc. - it may be worth it to split it into different digital versions depending upon those differences. In that case, you could include who distributed the album in the additional notes AND the "version description" field.

__MULLIGANACEOUS__, going back to your original question, it is perfectly fine including a digital version of that album since the iTunes purchase is an officially-sanctioned digital version.

I do not believe that the iTunes entry is allowed. My entries all got deleted. I believe that my points also should be gone...

Yeah, my bad, sorry. I'm an idiot.

May I add it back

Sure thing.

There is no need to add the origin of the download to the version description field, though. Whether it's from Bandcamp, iTunes or whatever, we don't treat them as different entities (unless there are other differences, like cover art or number of songs) and thus don't specify that. It'd be a bit like adding "Amazon order" to a CD release.
