if you calculate the ID from those offsets, you get something beginning with "38....."
00:00:04 [djce]
but I got those offsets by querying "3911a114".

i know this is highly off topic, but does one of you feel like teaching me how i can read in the datatype 'short'? :)
00:13:31 [ruaok]
in what language?
00:13:33 [canidae]
c
00:13:38 [ruaok]
what IO functions?
00:13:42 [canidae]
getchar
00:13:49 [ruaok]
stdio, then
00:13:54 [canidae]
cat cdda.wav | ./foo
00:14:02 [ruaok]
short foo;
00:14:07 [canidae]
yeah... i left my c book somewhere else :\
00:14:34 [ruaok]
fread(&foo, sizeof(short), 1, stdin)
00:14:46 [ruaok]
returns number of shorts read (0 or 1)
00:14:49 [ruaok]
-1 on error
00:15:05 [canidae]
cool, lemme give it a shot...
00:15:23 [ruaok]
you should read a whole block at a time...
00:16:48 [canidae]
thanks! :)
00:17:46 [canidae]
i once tried to make a simple beat detection program (in java), but i want to learn c so i thought i'd try to make it in c instead :)
00:19:22 [ruaok]
good luck. that's a challenging problem.
00:19:28 [ruaok]
What algorithm are you using?
00:19:33 [canidae]
heh
00:19:36 [canidae]
the most simple one :)
00:19:51 [canidae]
i found a pdf about it
00:20:03 [canidae]
so i'm just checking the overall sound volume
00:20:15 [canidae]
and compare it with the average for the last x samples (or so)
00:20:21 [canidae]
hmm
00:20:33 [canidae]
right, that was not even close to proper english
00:20:41 [ruaok]
no worries. I grokked.
00:20:46 [canidae]
hehe
00:20:48 [ruaok]
Let me know how it goes.
00:22:11 [canidae]
heh, sure... last time i didn't get very far... that is, i did implement everything, but the standard java method of reading short datatypes reads with big-endian (it's little-endian that's most common on x86, isn't it?) so i had to use some shift operations & stuff
00:26:26 [ruaok]
hey, anyone around?
00:26:47 [ruaok]
I have a little favor to ask of someone who has 10 minutes time on their hands...

What's up ruaok?
00:39:29 [ruaok]
I've got an app that I need tested to get feedback.
00:39:49 [ruaok]
The company predixis wants to partner with MB and I want to get some feedback about the program.
00:39:51 [blizzow]
I imagine I could do that.
00:39:55 [ruaok]
You have windows right??
00:40:00 [blizzow]
yeah.
00:40:44 [blizzow]
I'm downloading the free trial from predixis now....
00:40:54 [blizzow]
I also have linux if you want me to test on a linux box.
00:41:00 [ruaok]
Download this and throw some music at it and see if it generates any cool play lists for you.

If i type something into the artist search field on musicbrainz.org, is that the same as doing a select statement where the name = '%word%' ?

06:54:25 [real]
in the moderation thing
06:57:11 [taaz]
maybe should be '
06:57:44 [ruaok]
again? huh?
06:57:51 [ruaok]

06:58:27 [real]
http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=719764
06:58:28 [real]
look at that
06:58:30 [real]
thats just one
06:59:44 [ruaok]
djce just fixed a problem related to that and it was just a display bug.
07:00:15 [real]
so its not really in the database that way?
07:00:15 [ruaok]
djce, when you read the chatlogs, is this issue resolved or is this something new??
07:00:22 [ruaok]
one sec.
07:02:33 [ruaok]
That's in the DB. :-(
07:02:44 [real]
okay i see someone else sees it too
07:02:55 [real]
http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=720103
07:03:06 [real]
then should for everyone i see, try to change it to normal one?
07:03:25 [real]
thers kind of a lot now
07:03:44 [ruaok]
please.
07:05:51 [real]
this one looks even worse
07:05:52 [real]
http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=720142
07:06:37 [ruaok]
that one looks fine to me...
07:06:44 [real]
weird
07:11:59 [real]
?'` thats why
07:12:08 [real]
there are 3 different little apostrophes that exist i guess
07:38:01 [ruaok]
dave says:
07:38:05 [ruaok]
I suppose it could be - if the user's browser was sent ' within an
07:38:05 [ruaok]
<input value="...">, and the user didn't notice, then they could easily
07:38:05 [ruaok]
have then posted a literal "&apos;" back to the server.
07:38:05 [ruaok]
Fortunately they're easy to find:

07:38:08 [ruaok]
http://musicbrainz.org/newsearch.html?limit=0&table=Track&search=apos
07:38:10 [ruaok]
and there aren't /that/ many of them.
07:38:21 [ruaok]
Wanna do some moderating? :-)
08:19:21 [real]
yea
08:21:05 [real]
bah they are all done already
08:21:13 [real]
there arent so many now, because the ones i saw were still in moderating
08:21:22 [real]
if they get passed there will be lots i bet

hi all
16:47:56 [canidae]
a girl? on freenode?
16:48:08 [violetgirl]
yeah why not?
16:48:11 [violetgirl]
:)
16:48:21 [canidae]
not complainin, not even close to that
16:48:24 [canidae]
just confused :)
16:48:52 [violetgirl]
what is this musicbrainz anyway
16:49:47 [canidae]
a highly interesting project, though i bet ruaok could tell you more about it than me :)
16:51:33 [violetgirl]
so ruaok?
16:51:42 [blizzow]
Musicbrainz is a database that anyone can access to generate appropriate id3 tags for their song files based on the musical fingerprint of the song.
16:51:58 [canidae]
hmm, that's a bit short isn't it? :)
16:52:33 [violetgirl]
ooo cool
16:52:39 [blizzow]
what do you mean it's short?
16:53:24 [canidae]
violetgirl: i'd rather say it's an extended edition of freedb, though someone might kill me for saying that :p
16:53:44 [blizzow]
from the mb website:MusicBrainz is a user maintained community music metadatabase. Music metadata is information such as the name of an artist, the name of an album and list of tracks that appear on an album. MusicBrainz collects this information about music and makes it available to the public so that music players can retrieve information about the music that is playing. For instance, an audio CD does not contain the name of the artist, album or a lis

http://www.musicbrainz.org/introduction.html
16:54:14 [violetgirl]
i heard about freedb once
16:54:29 [violetgirl]
so what's the difference then
16:54:45 [canidae]
it's better :D
16:54:53 [blizzow]
freedb doesn't guarantee or checksum against the files that you say they are.
16:55:53 [blizzow]
Take a look at http://www.musicbrainz.org/introduction.html it's not a long read, and it will tell you all about musicbrainz.
16:56:51 [violetgirl]
thanx i'm reading it now
17:01:24 [canidae]
hmm, come to think about it: someone once said mb use freedb if it can't find data about the cd,,, is this working?
17:01:36 [canidae]
s/,,,/.../
17:01:44 [blizzow]
yes it does work to some degree.
17:02:27 [blizzow]
Sometimes it's hard to find the right freedb item.

What is the SQL statement the sidebar artist search uses? the results i'm getting back don't even have the word i was searching for, and some artist that exsist in the db, don't come up at all
20:24:59 [ruaok]
Stupidmop: its more than one SQL statement.
20:25:35 [ruaok]
Its a bunch of indexes that get used and such. If you think your indexes are not working right, rebuild them.
20:25:54 [Stupidmop]
it's not my local one, it's the one at musicbrainz.org
20:26:59 [ruaok]
what are you searching on??
20:27:36 [Stupidmop]
in the artist field i type 'disc'
20:27:54 [Stupidmop]
Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the artists that come up
20:28:55 [Stupidmop]
hmmm... wait, that result is based on alias as well? some of them have an alias that has disc in the title :-\
20:29:14 [ruaok]
yup
20:29:28 [ruaok]
that alias can probably be removed
20:29:41 [Stupidmop]
*nods* that's part of it...
20:31:41 [Stupidmop]
the other part is that http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=22838 (discwasher) does not come up in the list at all
20:32:08 [ruaok]
our search does not handle partial word searches. :-(
20:32:24 [Stupidmop]
oooh.
20:33:20 [Stupidmop]
thanks for the inof
