Member Function Documentation

void MusicBrainz::Label::addAlias ( LabelAlias alias  ) 

Adds an alias for this label.

Parameters:
alias a pointer to LabelAlias object

void MusicBrainz::Label::addRelease ( Release release  ) 

Adds a release to this label's list of releases.

Parameters:
release a pointer to Release object

LabelAlias* MusicBrainz::Label::getAlias ( int  index  ) 

Returns alias specified by index.

This is equivalent to getAliases()[index]

Returns:
a pointer to LabelAlias instance
See also:
getAliases

LabelAliasList& MusicBrainz::Label::getAliases (  ) 

Returns the list of aliases for this label.

Returns:
a list of pointers to LabelAlias objects

std::string MusicBrainz::Label::getBeginDate (  )  const

Returns the birth/foundation date.

The definition of the begin date depends on the label's type. For persons, this is the day of birth, for groups it is the day the group was founded.

The returned date has the format "YYYY", "YYYY-MM", or "YYYY-MM-DD", depending on how much detail is known.

Returns:
a string containing the date
See also:
getType

std::string MusicBrainz::Label::getDisambiguation (  )  const

Returns the disambiguation attribute.

This attribute may be used if there is more than one label with the same name. In this case, disambiguation attributes are added to the labels' names to keep them apart.

For example, there are at least three bands named 'Vixen'. Each band has a different disambiguation in the MusicBrainz database, like 'Hip-hop' or 'all-female rock/glam band'.

Returns:
a disambiguation string
See also:
getUniqueName

std::string MusicBrainz::Label::getEndDate (  )  const

Get the death/dissolving date.

The definition of the end date depends on the label's type. For persons, this is the day of death, for groups it is the day the group was dissolved.

Returns:
a string containing a date
See also:
getBeginDate

std::string MusicBrainz::Label::getName (  )  const

Returns the label's name.

Returns:
a string containing the label's name, or empty string

int MusicBrainz::Label::getNumAliases (  )  const

Returns number of aliases.

This is equivalent to getAliases().size()

Returns:
an int containing number of aliases
See also:
getAliases

int MusicBrainz::Label::getNumReleases (  )  const

Returns number of releases.

This is equivalent to getReleases().size()

Returns:
an int containing number of releases
See also:
getReleases

Release* MusicBrainz::Label::getRelease ( int  index  ) 

Returns an release specified by index.

This is equivalent to getReleases()[index]

Returns:
a pointer to Release instance
See also:
getReleases

ReleaseList& MusicBrainz::Label::getReleases (  ) 

Returns a list of releases from this label.

This may also include releases where this label isn't the main label but has just contributed one or more tracks (aka VA-Releases).

Returns:
: a list of pointers to Release objects

int MusicBrainz::Label::getReleasesCount (  )  const

Returns the number of existing releases.

This may or may not match with the number of elements that getReleases and getNumReleases returns. If the count is higher than the list, it indicates that the list is incomplete.

Returns:
an integer containing the count
See also:
getReleases

int MusicBrainz::Label::getReleasesOffset (  )  const

Returns the offset of the release list.

This is used if the track list is incomplete (ie. the web service only returned part of the tracks on this release). Note that the offset value is zero-based, which means track 0 is the first track.

Returns:
an integer containing the offset
See also:
getReleases
