ADPTR AUDIO Streamliner

This plugin has been released over a year and there was no entry for it. When I started to enter it, it said it already existed and I shouldn't add an identical item, but the item it referred to was Adptr Magic AB, which is a completely different plugin entirely.

I just wish I could come here and select plugins that have already been added, but it seems every time I come there, I'm adding them myself. Last time I had to add 4, and now here's another that was released over a year ago, and I had to add it =(

  • AIAIAI TMA-2 Modular Headphones

You added the item manually, and it gave you this message, correct?:

The following items already exist on Equipboard. Please don't add a duplicate, and don't create a new item if all that differs is:

  • Year
  • Color

If you're sure you're adding a unique item, press Next at the bottom:

followed by a list of all items that contain the phrase ADPTR

The interface is not accusing you of trying to add a duplicate, it is showing all the existing items it can find containing similar phrases, to make sure you're not adding a duplicate. It does this for anything you try to add.

Was this the experience you had, and, if so, how do you think it could be improved?

  • Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer
  • Roland SH-101
  • Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

It definitely does give you the impression that you're about to enter a duplicate, and who knows how many other people over the course of a year thought about adding streamliner and turned back at that point. I've bought more plugins by smaller developers and I know they aren't gonna be in the database, and I can't be bothered adding them everytime, when I don't have enough time already to do the things I really "should" be doing.
