Only took a year, but done!

Maxr1998 Yes please for new tickets for improvements on the feature !

The current add listen button has been tweaked in the redesign plans, no longer orange:

Long term I think this should be a drop-down, as we need to have a better workflow guiding new users towards connecting spotify/importing and so on (rough example/not final):

Need to proceed with caution re. adding an extra click, but I'm not sure the manual add listens is used extensively enough to make it a big problem (I use it occasionally).

Should suggestions for improvements be a new ticket then?

Fixed in release v-2023-03-01.0.

Some mockups for a potential 'add multiple at once' feature:

In Discord Maxr1998 and Flaky said it could be useful to be able to specify the player you used to play a track. And/or web source. Apparently those are fields that can be/often are submitted already.

I would consider that 'advanced' so I would make it hidden until you press a button or something, if it was added.

edit: Flaky's Picard plugin is clever, it only pops this up if you select a digital media release to submit:

edit 2: Flaky: FWIW, the web source is handled by the music_service field, and the player itself under media_player

See code changes in pull request #2331 submitted by jivteshsingh.

Those mockups look pretty good actually!
date format could be better though :​D
