: In the notes section of your DB, you have stuff like "EDIT" by itself..
: What does that mean? I assume it means, Differ from album.. or maybe the Radio Cut..
: Thanks..
The information in the "NOTES" field of the database varies with the product. Generally, all information matches the comments that appear on your tray card for each CD. Comments like, "EDIT" "RADIO EDIT" "REMIX" etc., are provided by the Record Companies. We include them on the tray cards and in the db to help our Members identify the various re-issues of particular songs. An "EDIT" is usually done by the Record Companies themselves. They may shorten or lengthen a song. They may change the tempo, change the lyrics, improve or eliminate the accompaniment, or even add another Artist to the track. Then they send the resulting track to Prevue Promo, along with the “EDIT” comment. And, we put it on the CD the way they send it to us. Comments like, "LYRIC(S!!!!!)" and "LYRIC CONTENT" are added by Prevue Promo to alert Members about possible foul language or undesirable subject matter in the song. We do our best to find the problems. But, it's still up to the Member to review EVERY track before playing it on the air. Comments like "Clean Version" may still appear after a "LYRIC" warning. In those cases, the words "Clean Version" etc. were supplied by the Record Company. So, We put them in quotes "" to indicate that "Clean Version" is just part of the song designation. You will also find comments like, "Novelty" "Patriotic" "Christmas" etc. in the NOTES field. We do that so Members can do a search for songs with those designations just by typing a word in the NOTES field and clicking SEARCH. Try typing the word, "HUMOR" into the NOTES field and then click SEARCH. You'll find that we currently have 25 songs that we thought were humorous. I think it’s most helpful around Christmas time. So, that's how NOTES works!
