Wrong license in one song in my profile

Vania (Johan C.) · started 2019-01-14 17:01 · updated 2021-10-28 10:44

I have published one song with all rights reserved but in my profile this songs has CC BY-NC-SA license, in the properties the song keeps with all rights reserved.

Same problem, but in my case the track is intended to be published with a CC BY-NC-SA. That's the license that appears in the properties dialogue, while on the track page it shows CC BY-SA.

ALL my songs are published with the wrong license. They should be CC BY NC SA but they appear as CC BY SA, and i can't change that either. Help. :^)

I cannot reproduce this, so I'm closing this for now. I remember we fixed a bug in the track properties dialog a while back which probably was related to this.

I still have this issue. All the tracks I've published recently were set to CC BY-NC-SA inside the app, yet once published CC BY-SA appears on their track page. Republishing doesn't fix the discrepancy.

I'm hypothesising, but I think there's a problem with some track metadata (specifically license and tempo) being one thing inside the app and another in the website. The website doesn't seem to catch up with the changes made through the app.

I have the exact same problem, today, April 1, 2021. any way of fixing this? i never published it as CC BY-SA, but it shows that way under the track page. Its the only track on my profile right now.

@mbelow I have found an issue that may be the same as or related to the described issue: The license on the track page might not match the license in the application. Reproduction steps with specific example:

  1. Create a new draft and set to any license (e.g. All rights reserved).
  2. Save the draft to the server. The track page will display the license as the selected one (e.g. All rights reserved).
  3. In "Edit Properties" dialog, change the license (e.g. to CC BY-NC-SA), and click "Update".
  4. Observe that the license on the track page has not changed (e.g. remains at All right reserved).
  5. Publish the track.
  6. Observe that the license on the track page is the most recently set one, and the license in "Edit Properties" now displays as the license that was displayed on the page in step 4. (e.g. CC BY-NC-SA on the page, All rights reserved in the app).
  7. Set the license to something other than what is displayed on the track page (e.g. keep the selection at All rights reserved) and republish the track.
  8. Observe that the license on the track page is the most recently set one, and the license in "Edit Properties" now displays as the license that was displayed on the page in step 6. (e.g. All rights reserved on the page, CC BY-NC-SA in the app).

Repeating steps 7-8 will continue to yield the same result of the track page license not matching the in-app license. Steps 7-8 have the same effect as steps 3-6 and are included mostly to demonstrate the endless-loop behavior of the issue.

Another issue unrelated to the one I described, but prevents someone from changing the license: For a published track, a user cannot select a more restrictive license in-app than the one that is loaded in-app. E.g. if the initially selected option upon opening the app is "CC BY-NC-SA", then "All rights reserved" is disabled.

I'm going to bump this because I've noticed I'm experiencing the exact issue Inavon described on several of my tracks. I don't publish most of my tracks to CC-BY-NC-SA but the few I do publish under that license are the ones I'd prefer to be kept under such if at all possible.
