[Feature request] Ability to add to band discography

Some bands may have albums/releases that are not available on streaming services but are known about and documented. It would be beneficial to be able to have the ability to add albums if we have a source of it's existence (MusicBrainz, YouTube uploads, etc.).

Additionally, this can also allow for corrections. One band I follow had an album release in 2014, but it didn't get released onto streaming services until 2019, and all the streaming platforms say it is from 2019 when it actually released years earlier on Bandcamp.

GEAR:
  • Squier Precision Affinity PJ
  • Fender Rumble 25
  • M-Audio M-Track Solo

The album I'm specifically talking about at the end here is Cojum Dip. Streaming releases list it as being released in 2019, but from their Bandcamp page, it states 2014.

GEAR:
  • Squier Precision Affinity PJ
  • Fender Rumble 25
  • M-Audio M-Track Solo

I agree it would be cool to add this ability.

Just FYI: albums were added to Equipboard just a few months ago -- it's a brand new feature, that's not even fully integrated into the site yet (you can't even search for albums by name on the site at the time of this post). We're all still learning how to work with this new entity in the database, what you can/can't do yet, etc.

I can't speak for the admins/devs on this one, but my gut says that adding albums that aren't on Spotify (or wherever they're pulling album info from) is probably not something they're likely to add near term.

I'd recommend reviving this thread in a few months to see where things are at re: albums.
