Please add record label as a field in Advanced Search. For most record labels, browsing returns too many results without filtering capability. For example, Cleopatra has been credited as a record label on thousands of albums. (About a quarter of its albums are tributes, and many have an interesting twist because they're recorded in a musical style different from the tributee's style.)
P.S. please delete my duplicate idea.
I second this, I like looking up what label a song was on and searching its discography to find new music, and this site has a bunch of stuff that RYM doesn't have. However, currently it's too difficult not only because I can't filter by label, but because so many releases don't show up when you search by year since that information doesn't show up next to their name in their discography. I would like to get the full scope of releases.
We currently send these queries to another service and receive the response. We do not have the ability to make changes to the request parameters but one of our future projects is to do this query more in-house and we see value in this data element.
Great Zac! Allmusic seems to treat record labels like an artist entity, except credited as "record label". (I can't confirm because I can't find your link to Tivo's metadata fields.) Nonetheless if true, Advanced Search's "Album Artist" field still excludes record labels.
I hope so, Zac. The redesign took away sorting by label. For artists who had long careers that span multiple labels, many would work with different producers to change their style. So sorting their compilations helped me find which ones focused on the period that I prefer.
