this a good place to report a little bug?
03:54:14 [taaz]
the taglookup.html page which trm 0.2.1 loads up doesn't seem to like a bunch of spaces at the end of fields
03:55:22 [taaz]
actually, i can't figure out what the behavior is
03:56:59 [soccos]
soccos (~paul@psharpe2-egw.access.nethere.net) has joined #musicbrainz
03:57:23 [taaz]
try putting in "Basement Jaxx", "Remedy", "Rendez Vu" vs "Rendez Vu "
03:57:37 [taaz]
ie, 15 spaces doesn't find it, 14 does. weird.

20:03:26 [warewolf]
last.fm?
20:03:29 [warewolf]
what's that?
20:03:31 [warewolf]
some radio stream?
20:04:34 [RJ]
yup
20:04:54 [RJ]
profile radio, it plays different streams to everyone, learns what you like .. collaborative filtering etc
20:05:12 [warewolf]
wow, that sounds cool
20:05:21 [warewolf]
www.last.cm?
20:05:22 [warewolf]
er fm
20:05:24 [RJ]
planning to use MBIDs for all their stuff
20:05:27 [RJ]
yup
20:05:39 [RJ]
its "beta" at the moment ;)
20:06:45 [warewolf]
OMG.
20:06:50 [warewolf]
someone has warewolf!
20:06:53 [warewolf]
those bastards!
20:06:57 [warewolf]
I am the one TRUE warewolf!
20:06:57 [RJ]
LOL
20:07:07 [warewolf]
this isn't very beta, is it.
20:07:32 [warewolf]
Welcome 'daw00t'
20:07:34 [warewolf]
thank you.
20:07:38 [RJ]
it works, mostly. but its still beta really. it will cease being beta in approx 2 weeks
20:10:09 [warewolf]
interesting.
20:10:17 [warewolf]
will it become a pay-for-service?
20:14:44 [RJ]
nope
20:15:41 [RJ]
there might be some pay-for features at some point, but the profile radio will always be free. the idea being to make some money by selling anonymous statistics to the industry, whilst giving it to the users for free
20:15:58 [warewolf]
coo
20:17:12 [warewolf]
odd
20:17:22 [warewolf]
I tried uploading an image for myself
20:17:26 [warewolf]
but it doesn't seem to work
20:17:57 [RJ]
try shift-refresh? maybe its cached
20:18:12 [RJ]
there are a ton of updates we're pushing to the site in around a week, fixing various bugs
20:18:40 [warewolf]
hrm.
20:18:44 [warewolf]
* warewolf shrugs
20:18:50 [warewolf]
I guess I'll chalk it up to being a bug then
20:19:01 [warewolf]
because my email address shows up as "d" in my profile page
20:19:12 [RJ]
uh
20:19:22 [RJ]
hmm, yeah.. "beta" :)
20:19:34 [RJ]
thats strange tho
20:19:36 [icepick]
icepick is now known as icepick-away
20:19:42 [RJ]
maybe edit your details again, re-save
20:21:08 [warewolf]
what's your profile?
20:21:25 [RJ]
audioscrobbler
20:21:40 [warewolf]
wait.
20:21:44 [warewolf]
do you work on audioscrubber?
20:22:03 [RJ]
audioscrObbler, yes
20:22:10 [RJ]
and last.fm
20:22:43 [warewolf]
* warewolf blinks
20:23:23 [RJ]
did you every use audioscrobbler?
20:23:27 [RJ]
*ever
20:23:36 [warewolf]
I'm slightly confused.
20:24:02 [RJ]
lol
20:24:05 [warewolf]
ok
20:24:16 [warewolf]
audio scrubber
20:24:19 [warewolf]
I signed up for that
20:24:21 [warewolf]
ages ago
20:24:22 [warewolf]
never used it
20:24:27 [RJ]
ah, no never heard of that
20:24:35 [warewolf]
because it worked all by the tags of your music
20:24:51 [warewolf]
I'm taking a guess that audioscrobbler is something similar
20:25:03 [RJ]
yes
20:25:05 [RJ]
that is confusing
20:25:25 [RJ]
audioscrobbler in planning to use musicbrainz for sorting out the metadata
20:25:42 [RJ]
cos sending in id3 tags is kinda messy
20:25:47 [warewolf]
yeah
20:25:54 [warewolf]
TRM ids make a shitload more sense to use
20:26:17 [RJ]
MBIDs, yes - much nicer
20:26:58 [warewolf]
er, what's the difference between a TRM id and a MDid
20:27:00 [warewolf]
er MB id
20:27:21 [RJ]
i think trm ids are used to look up the musicbrainz id for a particualr track
20:27:35 [warewolf]
the TRM is the fingerprint of the audio, and I'm assuming the MBid is based off that, where it figures out what artist/album/track that trm id is, eh?
20:27:37 [RJ]
because sometimes TRM's clash
20:27:41 [RJ]
so you cant just use them as the id
20:27:56 [RJ]
hehe
20:28:02 [RJ]
you didnt sign up for audio scrubber
20:28:08 [RJ]
but you thought you did
20:28:15 [warewolf]
um
20:28:19 [RJ]
you signed up for audioscrobbler, with the email address: warewolf | audioscrubber@richardharman.com
20:28:32 [warewolf]
............
20:28:33 [RJ]
so try logging into last.fm as warewolf
20:28:56 [RJ]
i guess it is a pretty confusing name
20:28:57 [warewolf]
yeah that's me
20:29:25 [warewolf]
List-Id: Audioscrobbler Current Affairs <news_audioscrobbler.com.audioscrobbler.
20:29:25 [warewolf]
com>
20:29:26 [warewolf]
yeh
20:29:31 [warewolf]
yep even. I'm wrong.
20:29:46 [RJ]
that list is dead now, but that was the one
20:29:59 [RJ]
there is a dev and users list on the sf project page
20:30:27 [warewolf]
otay.
20:30:31 [warewolf]
I'm signed in as warewolf now ;)
20:30:46 [warewolf]
now where do I change my password, since it's still the first generated one ;)
20:30:51 [warewolf]
oh, I know
20:30:54 [warewolf]
it was on the profile page.
20:31:29 [RJ]
guess you were using the xmms plugin?
20:31:39 [warewolf]
yes
20:31:39 [warewolf]
xmms
20:31:43 [warewolf]
I'm a unix kind of guy
20:31:49 [RJ]
bsd..
20:31:54 [warewolf]
linux here
20:32:13 [RJ]
CTCP said bitchx on freebsd
20:32:26 [warewolf]
ok
20:32:30 [warewolf]
fbsd shell
20:32:36 [warewolf]
linux laptop where I'm working.
20:32:39 [RJ]
but i know ppl compiled the xmms plugin for freebsd too
20:32:41 [RJ]
right
20:33:53 [warewolf]
er, how do I get into the profile page so I can change my password
20:34:10 [RJ]
there should be an edit details link on the right side of the page
20:34:12 [warewolf]
or is last.fm like, a slave to audioscrobbler data
20:34:39 [RJ]
not really, but i plan to make use of audioscrobbler data in lastfm to do better profile matching
20:34:40 [warewolf]
oh hrm. I thought I got there last time by clicking on my name
20:34:46 [RJ]
or that
20:34:53 [RJ]
er
20:35:08 [warewolf]
<b>Email:</b> <br/>
20:35:09 [warewolf]
<input type="text" name="email" value="w" class="LoginBox" /><br/>
20:35:10 [warewolf]
yeah, bug.
20:35:12 [warewolf]
:)
20:35:20 [RJ]
hmm, nasty
20:35:32 [warewolf]
but now my image is uploaded!
20:35:34 [RJ]
* RJ adds bug to list
20:36:25 [warewolf]
and to think, "w" never shows up in my email address.
20:36:30 [warewolf]
it's prolly somwhow linked to my userid.
20:36:36 [warewolf]
since under daw00t it was "d".
20:36:50 [RJ]
quite possibly
20:37:10 [RJ]
thanks, i wasnt aware it was scrambling email addresses
20:37:28 [warewolf]
np
20:37:31 [warewolf]
I'm a webhead
20:37:40 [warewolf]
I don't like php though
20:37:48 [warewolf]
I'm a perl kind of guy.
20:38:10 [warewolf]
know what would be really spiffy?
20:38:25 [warewolf]
I like how the table cell(s) background change as you hover over them
20:38:44 [warewolf]
if you shaded artists that have been successfully "collected" after you search for them, it'd be much easier
20:38:58 [warewolf]
(I don't know how difficult that would be for you)
20:39:18 [warewolf]
but that's how netflix's queue works, when you change something in the queue, the background of the tables gets changed
20:39:26 [warewolf]
I think it's some javascript and css stuff.
20:44:47 [warewolf]
how much bandwidth is last.fm sucking up?
20:44:52 [warewolf]
it's got to choke down a *lot*
20:54:22 [RJ]
he, went afk for a bit there
20:54:31 [RJ]
yeah showing whats already been collected is a good idea
20:54:53 [RJ]
as for bandwidth, we have a friend who owns a daat center :)
20:55:17 [warewolf]
where do you get the rights to stream the music?
20:55:33 [RJ]
mcps/prs license
20:55:38 [RJ]
based in uk
20:55:47 [warewolf]
ok
20:55:52 [warewolf]
I'm going to post this on my livejournal
20:55:55 [warewolf]
with 110% praise
20:56:02 [warewolf]
I hope you don't mind ;)
20:56:05 [RJ]
cool :)
20:56:25 [RJ]
you can mention we're actively developing it and to expect a site update in ~1 week :)
20:56:42 [warewolf]
oh definitly.
21:05:26 [RJ]
i'm off out for a bit, will check out your LJ page later :)
