Streaming/download links can be related to specific Recordings, and Harmony's new features allow these to be easily added when importing a new Release, so are likely to be more commonly added by editors going forward.
This is the case on both stable and beta interfaces without any plugins, but only an issue when credits are displayed below the tracklisting on a Release page. These links do not display with 'credits inline' viewing mode.
Example release: Phaeleh - Dark Sky on MusicBrainz
When credits are displayed at bottom, every streaming/download link is shown from associated Recordings. In the example, there are shown 22 links for Bandcamp and 11 each for Spotify, Deezer, Apple and Tidal, totalling 66 URLs being displayed. The possibility for this to be a higher number is feasible - through additional online stores/services, or if services have multiple URLs for a track such as Apple's internationalising of their URLs.
Subjectively, this pushes more useful information about the release much further down the page. Objectively, this creates a huge wall of links.
