There are | There are four ways to add new songs: | ||
The first one is to reach using the {{AniDBLink|songlist|Songlist}} from the main menu at the left. At the bottom of the page you can find the "Add Song" button. The second way is to search for a song using the dropdown search, if the song in question isn't found the following page informing you of the failed search result has the "Add Song" button at the bottom. | *The first one is to reach using the {{AniDBLink|songlist|Songlist}} from the main menu at the left.

Once you click it you're on the {{AniDBLink|addsong|"Add Song"}} page. (Recommended way, although songs often have same titles and in case of an exact match, that entry will be shown instead). | |||
Once you click it you're on the {{AniDBLink|addsong|"Add Song"}} page. | *The third way, which is also the '''recommended way''', is to add songs from within the anime entry page. Either from under the "Contribution" tab or from the "Songs" tab by clicking on ''add/edit songs'' (in case of no songs added for given anime entry, the "Songs" tab will be named "Add Songs" instead). After you've clicked on ''add(/edit) songs'' from any of the locations previously listed, you'll be directed to a new page with 2 or 3 tabs. "Current" tab will only be there if there's already song(s) added for the anime, this tab will list them and allows you to edit/issue a creq them. From "Add A New Relation" tab you can create a relation between an already existing song and the given anime. "Add New Song" tab is actually a link to the {{AniDBLink|addsong|"Add Song"}} page. The reason this is the recommended way is because with this method it'll set the relation between the anime and song automatically, you just need to specify the relation type and the rest of the asked information. | ||
* The fourth way is the '''advanced way''' - massadd. This can only be accessed from an existing collection entry (Album/Single) by clicking on the "Add Songs" button when there are no songs added yet to the given collection, or by clicking on ''add/edit songs'' from under the Tracklist tab in case there already are some songs added. A new page will open, the "Massadd New Songs" tab is the one you want. This is recommended for adding anime OSTs since it will add all the songs the parser doesn't recognize to the database (if the parser finds a matching song name, it will try to add that to the collection, so check any matches!) and will also add the relations between the collection and all the songs. You will need to add song-anime relations later, however. | |||
