Oh, so when your collection is viewed by others it's not displayed to them?

I was posting my collection there, but lost my damn password and username. I also couldn't figure out how to make my collection public. I know maybe 2 words in German, so that doesn't really help...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Making your collection public = "Optionen"-> "Sammlung"->

-Sammlung öffentlich einsehbar? -> Make an "OK" hook
(-Einkaufszettel öffentlich einsehbar? -> This is for showing your want list)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Showing additional personal infos on your list/organisation of your list:

Same menu as above. The last options are the

"Sammlungsdarstellung"
Spalte 1:
Spalte 2:
Spalte 3:
....
(=Column 1, 2, 3, etc)

Stuffs. This is how you change the displaying of the records on your list.

-Herstellungsland = Country were it was made in
-Veröffentlichungsjahr = Year of release
-Tonträgertyp = Medium (LP, Tape, CD, etc)
-Kommentar = Your comment on your personal record (signed by xy, only LP, #123/456, 2 Inserts + Poster, etc etc etc what you want to write about your copy except personal opinion about the music)
-Nummer In Sammlung = Number in your collection (if you number your records)
-Zählernummer = Shows the number on the list
-others are self explainatory

"Spalte 1 = Tonträgertyp" (Column 1 = Medium) for example means that the list will start on the left with showing on which medium the record was made
Spalte 2 = Veröffentlichungsjahr => right next to the medium its year of creation will be shown
etc


What is your nickname?

How do you view your collection after having added albums?

So it will show you what others will see.

Damn, the language barrier is frustrating...

Main page when logged in:

"Hallo XXXXXXXXXXX

Du hast derzeit XXX Einträge in deiner Sammlung.

Dein letzter Besuch war am XX.XX.XXXX um XX:XX. Derzeit gibt es keine neuen Nachrichten für dich.

Der direkte Link zu Deiner Sammlung lautet: http://www.musik-sammler.de/sammlung/YOURNICKNAME <- click on that!

Für Anregungen, Kritik oder Diskussionen rund um Musik schau doch einfach in unser Forum."

You won't need more help now I guess.

One last question, how do you view other users collections?

Like search for other users?

oh yeah of course

http://www.musik-sammler.de/index.php?do=member

Or main page "Mitglieder".

Benutzername (nickname -> direct search by typing in a nickname you know. Type in parabellum and youll see mine (uncomplete)) / Sortierung nach (sorted by) / Anzeige (kind of sorting) / Anzahl pro Seite (number of entries/page)

Sortierung nach options:
-Benutzername(sorting by alphabet)
-Anmeldedatum(Date of signing)
-Sammlungsgröße(size of collection)

Anzeige options:
Aufsteigend (Ascending)
Absteigend (Descending)

Example : Sortierung nach = Anmeldedatum , Anzeige = Absteigend, Anzahl pro Seite = 50 ==> You will see the first 50 users who signed in!

Example 2: Sortierung nach = Sammlungsgröße , Anzeige = Absteigend, Anzahl pro Seite = 50 ==> You will see the 50 biggest collections!

Thanks!

Oh, also if there is info missing like year of release, ect, when viewing your collection is there a way to update that?

You can contact me via MS.de => Main page "Nachrichten" -> "Neue Nachricht"

-> "Empfänger suchen" = Search member , "Empfänger" = type the nickname in here if you know it, "Betreff" = Topic, "Nachricht abschicken" = send

OR

Click on one item of my list (underlined title), here you go to the detailed infos

If something isn't right, click on "Vervollständigen" or write a direct PM via "Fehler melden", which works like above

Shit, finally managed to get back into my account there. Username over there is 1SideShow2

Busy adding stuff to my collection.

Okay, and what if you have a different version of something that isn't listed?

Like on a different label or set of labels?

Also,

Erstauflage

What does this mean?

I am not sure what you mean. You mean when I have a Version that you don't have? Search for the title and look up if it's already typed in.

Erstauflage = Firstpress

I own a version that is not listed.

How can that be updated?

What you know about this release: Limitation, contents, year of recording, line up, the details. It's optional but those details are the flesh of every good music database imo

I tried to add the release where it prompts you to start with the barcode number/EAN.

I entered it and this is what comes up:

Fehler bei der Dateneingabe:

Bei der EAN/UPC-Nummer sind nur Ziffern erlaubt!
