Wrong track description

JSBach Brilliant Classics bad track description

Many are "[movement name]" rather than the name of the work [e.g., "Goldberg variations ", Glenn Gould, piano.

Subject: Bach complete [label: BRILLIANT music ]

It seems that BRILLIANT has issued this set in two different packages:
      Brown
      Blue
Track listings for the BROWN edition appear to be correct.
Track listings for the BLUE edition are often merely the tempo marking of an individual movement [e.g., "presto"].
This could likely be EASILY fixed by
       Copying the BROWN version's track listings wholesale into the BLUE.

@Johnny0634Cash Can you please send me some screenshots of what you are seeing?

I'm still having trouble understanding what is happening.

Thanks again for the help with this.

{sigh}
There seem to be TWO versions of the Complete JSBach published by BRILLIANT CLASSICS:
Blue box
Brown box
The track listing for the BROWN box are correct. If you can copy those into the BLUE box listing --thereby REPLACING the wrong info with the right info--problem solved.

A Pandora person wrote that some other company does the track description.
We still need an email address to report these discrepancies.

@Johnny0634Cash There isn't currently a way to report library errors directly from the app or website, however you can upvote this existing feature request with a ❤️to express your interest in getting it added to the service.

In the meantime, you can report any errors you see directly on the community.

What is the name of the track/artist with the wrong description?

Can you please send me a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

Is my written description not clear enough?
What part puzzles you?

@Johnny0634Cash Yes - a screenshot would be very helpful in this case for me.

Additionally, what is the name of the track/artist with the wrong description?

If you'd prefer to report this directly to our support team, you can do that here.

Let me know.

COMPLETE JSBach [Blue cover....there is a version with a BROWN cover which has correct listings]?
Both sets' artists are varied (because they ARE the COMPLETE WORKS OF JSBACH, 120+ CDs!]
Sorry, but I've never played with pix because I'm a word person.

Please specify which parts of description still puzzle you.

Sorry.

Can't get pix.

Pandora search seems to find ONLY BLUE Complete Bach.

Nor does it seem to permit specifying an entire album/set.

Nonetheless, descriptions of tracks from the BLUE Complete Bach are _always_ wrong with a track name [e.g., allegro] rather than correct name of work.

If this is not clear to you, then please ask a question.

Jackson Browne - The Pretender description

borourke99 — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:49:04 GMT

Is Pandora seriously going to keep the following as a description of this classic album that is among Jackson Browne's best? This critic is really a pretender when it comes to musical judgement.

"On The Pretender, Jackson Browne took a step back from the precipice so well defined on his first three albums, but doing so didn’t seem to make him feel any better. Employing a real producer, Jon Landau, for the first time, Browne made what sounded like a real contemporary rock record, but this made his songs less effective; the ersatz Mexican arrangement of “Linda Paloma” and the bouncy second half of “Daddy’s Tune,” with its horn charts and guitar solo, undercut the lyrics. The man who had delved so deeply into life’s abyss on his earlier albums was in search of escape this time around, whether by crying (“Here Come Those Tears Again”), sleeping (“Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate”), or making peace with estranged love ones (“The Only Child,” “Daddy’s Tune”). None of it worked, however, and when Browne came to the final track — traditionally the place on his albums where he summed up his current philosophical stance — he delivered “The Pretender,” a cynical, sarcastic treatise on moneygrubbing and the shallow life of the suburbs. Primarily inner-directed, the song’s defeatist tone demands rejection, but it is also a quintessential statement of its time, the post-Watergate ’70s; dire as that might be, you had to admire that kind of honesty, even as it made you wince. ~ William Ruhlmann"
