Just a long list of songwriters without any extra info, probably confusing people, so why not upload like this:

the person who has just made the lyrics isn't a "song writer". Yes he is. |

Just out of curiosity. Who are we listing under credit "Song writer"? Just the person(s) who actually wrote the song (melody, chords, etc.) or also person who just did the lyrics too?
If latter, in my opinion it's against the rules because the person who has just made the lyrics isn't a "song writer". Why not. Isn't the lyrics part of the song? I am sorry, but I must disagree with this. Charlie |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm with Charlie and Tim, absolutely the lyricist is a song writer. The lyrics are part of the song. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

If there isn't any singing it isn't a song. Yes it is. Then it's an instrumental song, but a song nonetheless. Never mind the definitions, though - suffice to say that for DVD Profiler, both the song's composer and the song's lyricist qualify for "song writer" credits (if it's an original song, that is). | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

So is arrangement. We list them too? No, arrangement is not. The American Federation of Musicians defines arranging as "the art of preparing and adapting an already written composition for presentation in other than its original form." We list the people who actually wrote the song, not somebody who adapted a previously written song. In addition, a song can be music only, or words and music. We do not make a distinction between the two, we simply credit the people who wrote them. I don't know why it has to be any more complicated than that. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, another one in need of being fixed.  Not to worry: those fixes are regularly approved, too. Round and round we go...  |

| | Posted: | | | | Honestly, I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't lock all their data as a default position. It's why I end up taking such a cavalier attitude about these issues, because I know that they won't be affecting my local regardless of the outcome. |
