Single tunes vs. lists

[dflat]

MODERATOR NOTE:
this part of a thread in another forum (Topic originally called: Here there and everywhere)
has been moved to here and renamed

originally posted by Nipperkin:
a question: in lists like the Beatles one, when a user clicks on the list link, does he download all the songs in the list, or can he select the tunes he wants? If you get the whole list, it might be nice to keep "single song" threads like this one for those who want just the one song, or perhaps include links to individual numbers, as well as a link to the complete playlist, in a collective "Beatles" thread. If you can download only those songs you want, then sure enough "single song" threads like this one are unnecessary. (And BTW, how do you add a song to an already uploaded list?)

While it is convenient for browsing to have a single thread for related songs, Beatles, Sinatra, etc., the discussions about different versions, "correct" vs. "incorrect" chords etc, belong in a separate discussion thread for *that* song.

Our preferred location to post a song chart is in the Song thread dedicated to that song.

That makes it easy for someone searching for that song to find all the available versions and discussion related to it.

Topic threads (Band, Artist, etc) offer quick way for browsers to easily find a selection of songs related to the topic. These threads can become lengthy and difficult to work through. They don’t deal with discussion, corrections or different versions effectively. Topic threads are most useful for a “get started” playlist(s).

Corrections, alternate versions and discussion belong in individual Song threads.
