    I may be lazy but what makes an entry slip into the "Album" category or "Misc" category here on Discogs?

    I wouldn't define a split C40 cassette as an "album" for instance, that would definitely be in "misc" in my book.

    this is how Album sorting works:

    Albums:

    Tagged with Album or Mini-album.

    Items tagged with LP but not with Single, Maxi-Single, or EP.

    IF format = (all analog formats) AND (number_tracks >= 7 AND total_tracktime if available >= 30 minutes), OR (total_tracktime >= 30 minutes), AND format does not include EP, Maxi-Single, or Single.

    IF format = (all digital formats) (number_tracks >= 8 AND total_tracktime if available >= 44 minutes), OR (total_tracktime >= 44 minutes), AND format does not include EP, Maxi-Single, or Single.

    Singles & EPs - Tagged with Single, Maxi-Single, EP, 12", 7", 10", Mini or Minimax.

    Miscellaneous - For everything else.

    I feel like something changed with this when the changes to the artist page were deployed. Thought it was a 40 minute threshold before, and what 0bleak lists sounds like what I am seeing now.

    Either way, the key takeaway is that you can force something into the Album section, but you can't force things into the Misc section. So it gets really silly when you have promotional interview CDs that are in the Album section and there's no way to move them out.
