o_O http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=3332 any ideas?
01:08:35 [bitmap]
the annotation is for "Lola" too
01:12:07 [CallerNo6]
how on earth could that have got past HumHumXX?
01:12:19 [bitmap]
I remember seeing cerdd83's annotation/disambiguation edits for that in my subscriptions, and there are only PUID submissions after that in the history…
01:12:47 [bitmap]
I'm subscribed to the Kinks but not Middle of the Road
01:13:56 [bitmap]
and http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14533793 says the recording is removed
01:14:09 [bitmap]
wtf
01:17:09 [nikki]
* nikki bets it was http://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/15901706
01:17:41 [bitmap]
ugh, that would probably do it

01:18:23 [nikki]
stupid colloquy
01:18:48 [bitmap]
it's going to be a nightmare trying to fix now :/
01:18:53 [nikki]
http://classic.musicbrainz.org/release/2e15df9c-0a25-43c3-a3d1-79c108d235c2.html and http://classic.musicbrainz.org/release/9985a460-8b42-4f52-91a3-82f3ccac3795.html
01:19:14 [nikki]
track 7 of both matches the merged recordings
01:19:27 [bitmap]
wow, nice find
01:19:58 [nikki]
well I assumed it was a release merge, since that's the only other way to merge recordings
01:20:06 [nikki]
and I assumed it was a v.a. merge because nobody saw it in time
01:20:18 [nikki]
so I just checked the edit history of the v.a. releases listed
01:20:37 [nikki]
and then took the mbid and checked on classic :)
01:20:46 [bitmap]
clearly I was too stupid to think of that :)
01:21:24 [nikki]
nah
01:21:38 [bitmap]
shouldn't something be done to make VA merges more visible? :/
01:21:52 [nikki]
probably
01:22:21 [nikki]
it should probably have big warnings too if you try and merge things where the artists don't match
01:22:40 [bitmap]
* bitmap agrees
01:23:40 [nikki]
hmm. I guess merge releases should show up in the edits for all the artists linked
01:23:51 [nikki]
because it's a lot like n * merge recordings
01:25:05 [bitmap]
I was thinking that they already did, so that's what I'd expect too
01:26:10 [bitmap]
and this is also a good example of where some kind of MBID editing system would come in handy…
01:27:31 [bitmap]
to fix the redirect and assign the original MBID back to Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep
01:50:36 [nikki]
...
01:50:56 [nikki]
I just came across someone who, instead of editing releases, decided to add new ones and merge the old ones into them
01:51:14 [nikki]
(just to change "pseudo-release" to "official", it seems)
02:10:37 [nikki]
bitmap: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4104

02:14:51 [nikki]

makina is probably the style of hardcore closest to j-core
06:04:25 [derwin]
which is weird, what do spain and japan have in common?
06:06:11 [reosarevok]
lol
06:06:31 [reosarevok]
People really know this stuff outside of Spain?
06:06:48 [derwin]
reosarevok: it depends on what you mean by "people" ... I am into weird subgenres of hardcore...
06:06:58 [derwin]
but as proved by searching hypem.com, no one else is
06:07:09 [derwin]
like, even mainstream breakcore acts like bong-ra get almost no coverage
06:07:10 [reosarevok]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_lLPZKfkc8 has something of a tongue-in-cheek cult status in Spain
06:07:13 [derwin]
and dude has 10 years of records out
06:07:46 [reosarevok]
(although he sold millions of singles in the 90s so I don't know if it qualifies for cult status)

07:16:20 [derwin]
err, if the label says "E.P", do I leave it like that in the release name?
07:18:21 [derwin]
" Do not remove EP
07:18:22 [derwin]
If the word "EP" or "E.P." is part of a release title, it should be retained. "
07:18:57 [derwin]
I guess "E.P" it is.

(apparently called "Scamper" in the English version - fuck that, it was Lolo in the original :P )
07:40:59 [reosarevok]
the American version was heavily localised and cuts out most of the violent scenes from the original, including the death of Scamper's father (which is not even mentioned in this version).

07:54:27 [flamingspinach]
what happened to the tracklist editor automatically filling in colons in track lengths?
07:54:41 [reosarevok]
Some overzealous dev thought it was a bug :p
07:54:47 [flamingspinach]
wat :(
07:54:50 [reosarevok]
It's being re-added in the next release
07:54:51 [flamingspinach]
now I can't use the numpad
07:54:57 [flamingspinach]
oh, nice :)
07:55:15 [flamingspinach]
is it possible to use directional keys in the editor too, rather than tabbing five times to get to the next track length field?
07:55:20 [reosarevok]
No idea
07:55:23 [flamingspinach]
I mean, it's currently not
07:55:27 [reosarevok]
Oh

Add a ticket and see what people say?
07:55:38 [flamingspinach]

08:00:18 [reosarevok]
Accesibility?
08:00:23 [reosarevok]
Maybe
08:01:53 [CallerNo6]
you're playing Stump the Translator single-player?
08:03:55 [flamingspinach]
reosarevok: yeah accessibility - every clickable thing on the page should have a tab stop
08:04:03 [flamingspinach]
that's why I want arrow keys lol

I’ll update the stuff you say
09:43:43 [jesus2099]
I have another quesiotn too… It seems that I can see this character only because I happen to have a (rare?) font called junicode ( http://junicode.sourceforge.net ) Can someone test with me in the IRC ?
09:45:31 [reosarevok]
Argh, the existing tracklist option only uses indexed? D:
09:45:48 [jesus2099]
Someone not having any very special font but still seeing more than just ascii or ansi (someone who can see the following characters at least “tiếng Việt, đẹp quá, 漢字テストです。) ← is there someone seeing this but doesn't have junicode ?
09:46:11 [reosarevok]
I see all until the second comma
09:46:15 [reosarevok]
Then 4 I can't see
09:46:20 [reosarevok]
Then I see the last 4
09:46:30 [reosarevok]
(win 7 and didn't install extra fonts)
09:54:36 [jesus2099]
hey that's fine reosarevok thanks, can you tell me if you see those and which one you don’t see between the asterisks ***   *** (there are 3 chars)
09:54:54 [jesus2099]
do you see a square box (replacement character)
09:55:05 [reosarevok]
Nope
09:55:08 [reosarevok]

only spaces, do you see the first one smaller than 2nd and 3rd : 1st *** *** 2nd *** *** 3rd *** ***
09:56:43 [reosarevok]
Smaller
09:56:49 [jesus2099]
1st is nnbsp, 2nd is nbsp, 3rd is sp

10:02:41 [pankkake]
I don't, but I use fixed-size fonts
10:03:03 [pankkake]
hm, with a normal font yes it's smaller
10:03:59 [pankkake]
nnbsp is smaller than nbsp, however, for the previous line, I don't see a difference between the 2nd and the 3rd

10:37:54 [v6lur]
jesus2099: i think not, at least i don't see any links that seem relevant on release pages
10:39:04 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
Hi
10:39:26 [jesus2099]
v6lur: juzst use the http://musicbrainz.org/release/eaa6fe6f-bb5b-4c57-ba94-181d6c9c7c73 kind of URL if you don’t have Mediulm/tracklist URL
10:42:00 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
Can someone tell me how to add composer, lyricist, etc information?
10:43:19 [v6lur]
jesus2099: oh, i see it now...
10:44:18 [reosarevok]
MarcelvanLeeuwen: composer and lyricist is the trickiest part right now
10:44:27 [reosarevok]
They are added via works
10:44:34 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
oh
10:44:36 [reosarevok]
For which we don't really have any decent interface
10:44:40 [reosarevok]
(yet9
10:44:42 [reosarevok]
*)
10:45:00 [reosarevok]
What kind of music are you editing?
10:45:16 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
Anouk a dutch artist
10:45:33 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
http://musicbrainz.org/release/02ccf107-a676-4b5d-9b93-b206d4553c12
10:45:36 [reosarevok]
So, contemporary
10:45:44 [reosarevok]
Hmm
10:45:56 [reosarevok]
I don't think there's a good way for those :(
10:46:00 [reosarevok]
I see that release has a work
10:46:02 [reosarevok]
Did you add it?
10:46:08 [reosarevok]
Or was it there already?
10:46:14 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
it was there
10:46:30 [reosarevok]
Ok
10:46:31 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
changed some things
10:46:33 [reosarevok]
Basically
10:46:42 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/work/adcf24f7-ab2b-382b-b149-921d6a66cc35 is the work
10:46:50 [reosarevok]
Which has a performance, http://musicbrainz.org/recording/d7989bca-490c-4f6c-ac8a-3d0ec8df1bb8
10:47:00 [reosarevok]
Which is in a release, http://musicbrainz.org/release/02ccf107-a676-4b5d-9b93-b206d4553c12
10:47:22 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
pfff
10:47:27 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/artist/5e8da504-c75b-4bf5-9dfc-119057c1a9c0/works is the list of works for Anouk we have
10:47:44 [reosarevok]
If the ones you want are there, you only have to relate them to the right recordings
10:47:52 [reosarevok]
(but yeah, our interface for that sucks right now)
10:48:09 [reosarevok]
(been worked at... with a lot of other things so it goes kinda slow :( )
10:48:19 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
ok
10:48:25 [jesus2099]
sucks = not good
10:48:26 [reosarevok]
If you want one that is not there, you need to add it
10:48:30 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
lol
10:49:27 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok uses lots of userscripts for all this but they're mostly useful for classical stuff
10:50:11 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
so this only can be done via the web interface
10:50:28 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
or you uses these scripts
10:50:45 [reosarevok]
Editing in general, yes (editing via webservice is also being worked at, but again, lots of stuff to do, few coders)
10:50:48 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
trying to understand the workflow
10:50:54 [reosarevok]
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121723 might be useful for what you want
10:50:57 [reosarevok]
And...
10:50:59 [reosarevok]
Oh, wait
10:51:17 [reosarevok]
nikki, bitmap: is the "Add work from recording" script not in userscripts?
10:51:20 [jesus2099]
reosarevok: if the script was on release page rather than works page, it could be used for all records, isn’t it ?
10:51:53 [reosarevok]
jesus2099: possibly - it's kovacsur's script and I don't know how it works exactly
10:52:05 [reosarevok]
I guess it would need more changes than that, but the concept would be similar, yes
10:52:45 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
the user scripts are used in combination with picard
10:52:48 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
?
10:52:50 [reosarevok]
No, with the site
10:52:53 [jesus2099]
someone knows how to fetch *entire* collection from /ws/2/ ?
10:53:06 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
okay
10:53:23 [reosarevok]
Picard has its own plugins, http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz%20Picard/Plugins
10:53:28 [jesus2099]
http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/collection/f0574792-6af6-481e-8b2f-d5ea9fc59c4d/releases only 25 first and I tried the offset without ok
10:53:40 [reosarevok]
But of those, Add Cluster As A Release is the only one that seeds the DB I think
10:54:09 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok hasn't used it, other people are very happy with it - but it will still not add relationships, just seed the release editor for you for adding releases
10:54:11 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
but what is the best way via web or picard?
10:54:30 [reosarevok]
Actual final input needs to be done in the web
10:54:32 [jesus2099]
add a release should be via picard or isrcsubmit.exe from CD
10:54:39 [reosarevok]
The point is that if you seed from Picard
10:54:48 [jesus2099]
they will open the web with CD’s DiscID
10:54:58 [reosarevok]
You need to type less (just fix whatever looks wrong, add what's missing, and press next a few times)
10:55:00 [jesus2099]
then everything next is done in website
10:55:12 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
ah okay
10:55:16 [reosarevok]
Or yeah, if you add from CD, use the CD lookup option
10:55:34 [reosarevok]
(cluster as a release is for digital files)
10:56:06 [jesus2099]
exactly ↗
10:56:09 [jesus2099]
:)
10:56:34 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
i want to add compact disc's i own
10:57:05 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
and rip them later if the metadata of musicbrainz is okay
10:57:16 [v6lur]
reosarevok: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/104148 ?
10:57:51 [reosarevok]
v6lur: I mean the one that is used from the sidebar of the recording page
10:57:52 [v6lur]
(doesn't work in opera)
10:57:55 [reosarevok]
(a single recording)
10:57:55 [jesus2099]
MarcelvanLeeuwen: then you can use either Picard lookup or isrcsubmit.exe to add the DiscID to a new release or the existing release (that you’ll later fix)
10:58:19 [v6lur]
hm, i don't remember seeing such
10:58:20 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
okay
10:58:36 [reosarevok]
v6lur: yeah, it makes sense, seeing it's not in userscripts :)
11:01:40 [jesus2099]
oh man, those not-in-userscripts are such a pity
11:02:38 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
how is this used?
11:02:53 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
owh script i mean
11:02:57 [reosarevok]
That's why I asked bitmap / nikki why that is (although I guess it is because it's basically only useful for autoeditors at the moment)
11:03:15 [reosarevok]
(as it doesn't have any options - you add it as a normal performance without options to check boxes)
11:03:23 [reosarevok]
MarcelvanLeeuwen, what browser you use?
11:03:36 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
chrome, firefox
11:04:13 [reosarevok]
In Chrome, just install them
11:04:24 [reosarevok]
(with the Install button)
11:04:30 [reosarevok]
And say yes when Chrome asks you if you're sure
11:04:43 [reosarevok]
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/119544 can also be useful, I guess, especially now that it suggests works
11:05:06 [jesus2099]
reosarevok: why only auto ? It would work for the hoi polloi too IMO
11:05:07 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok hasn't tried it for non-classical music but the suggest feature seems like it would help a lot there
11:05:35 [reosarevok]
jesus2099: it would, if you added the option to select "part./live/inst./cover"
11:05:37 [jesus2099]
reosarevok: ah ok :)
11:05:54 [jesus2099]
so, no need ;)
11:05:55 [reosarevok]
Right now, with that script there's no way to do that
11:06:11 [reosarevok]
So you'd need to add it "wrong" and then fix it and it'd take weeks :p
11:07:15 [reosarevok]
But I guess adding that and uploading it would make perfect sense, maybe bitmap will feel like it later? ;)
11:09:21 [jesus2099]
sure ! ;)
11:11:15 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
installed the script
11:11:28 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
but how to activate
11:12:03 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
i can see it's installed under settings extentions
11:12:12 [reosarevok]
Should be enabled by default
11:12:20 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/artist/5e8da504-c75b-4bf5-9dfc-119057c1a9c0/recordings
11:12:21 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
yes it's enabled
11:12:41 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/artist/5e8da504-c75b-4bf5-9dfc-119057c1a9c0/works
11:13:03 [reosarevok]
But as I said, both of those work on lists of recordings / works at the moment, rather than in releases
11:13:23 [reosarevok]
Still useful, especially if you know all, say, "Alright" are the same song
11:13:58 [reosarevok]
(you can add a work and relate it to all of them at the same time, which means it will no longer need to be done for other releases of hers)
11:14:15 [reosarevok]
(on a complete off topic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g9RMSqGLKU beautiful)
11:17:01 [jesus2099]
sorry, can’t see vids
11:18:44 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
ah the script is working together with the musicbrainz website
11:18:47 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
lol
11:19:46 [jesus2099]
MarcelvanLeeuwen: enter the userjs frenzy
11:20:07 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
huh
11:20:38 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
what do you mean
11:20:40 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
?
11:21:20 [jesus2099]
unleash its POWARS
11:21:45 [reosarevok]
He means the web interface is not too good, so some of us power-users have from 10 to 40 userscripts for it :p
11:22:00 [reosarevok]
To add extra options and stuff
11:22:10 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
haha okay i understand it now
11:22:32 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
sorry but English is not my native language
11:22:59 [jesus2099]
MarcelvanLeeuwen: same here :D
11:23:04 [reosarevok]
And here
11:23:10 [reosarevok]
Which might explain it all :)
11:23:19 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
:)
11:23:43 [jesus2099]
english is more fun with mistaks
11:24:29 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
:)
11:25:39 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
So this can't be done with release... so i have to find if this tracks already exists in the database
11:25:55 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
and add the information
11:26:09 [reosarevok]
Well
11:26:16 [reosarevok]
If the release is there, the track exists
11:26:25 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
track = recording
11:26:27 [reosarevok]
And if not, you will add it, so it will exist
11:26:38 [reosarevok]
track = (almost) recording
11:26:53 [reosarevok]
A recording is a specific recording/mastering/whatever of a song
11:27:18 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
ahhh.. okay
11:27:19 [reosarevok]
So, for example, the recording in the single and the album and some compilation can be the same
11:27:24 [reosarevok]
(but it would still be three tracks)
11:27:44 [reosarevok]
But every track is associated with one recording
11:27:56 [reosarevok]
So if there's a track, there's a recording :)
11:28:53 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
welcome in the world of.., recordings.., tracks.., etc
11:28:57 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
:)

11:29:09 [v6lur]
hm, some other scripts breaks http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/119544
11:29:18 [v6lur]
* v6lur goes investigate
11:29:18 [reosarevok]
:/
11:29:26 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
huh
11:29:40 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
wha't's happening
11:30:29 [reosarevok]
If you mean v6lur's comment, nothing that affects you, most likely
11:30:43 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
okay
11:30:45 [reosarevok]
(he has like 30 scripts so sometimes they conflict)
11:31:36 [MarcelvanLeeuwen]
but I'll understand thanks for the explanation so far it's appreciated
11:32:21 [reosarevok]
v6lur: http://www.lasering.ee/index.php?make=item_show&toote_id=664
11:32:38 [reosarevok]
"Tuksam (AC)" ja s�brad (join phrase)?
11:36:55 [v6lur]
or maybe "Jaak Tuksam as Tuksam" ja "Various Artists as sõbrad" ?
11:37:17 [v6lur]
but i'd agree with join phrase "ja sõbrad", too
11:37:52 [v6lur]
anyway, http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/81127 is the one that breaks 119544 :(
11:37:57 [reosarevok]
I am not sure how useful linking to VA there is
11:38:19 [reosarevok]
jesus2099, one of your scripts conflicts! Can you look at it? :)
11:38:21 [v6lur]
me neither. just a thought
11:38:52 [reosarevok]
I mean, linking to VA as the only track artist is frowned upon... but as an AC? No idea :/
11:39:02 [reosarevok]
Other people who are around, opinions?
11:39:53 [flamingspinach]
I did that once
11:40:32 [v6lur]
(the title means "Tuksam and friends", if that helps anyone)
11:41:05 [flamingspinach]
but I was advised to change it
11:41:32 [flamingspinach]
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15585540
11:42:23 [reosarevok]
As I said, yeah, it's not liked as *only* track artist
11:42:51 [reosarevok]
I'm just not sure for this case, where it would be "Jaak Tuksam as Tuksam" ja "Various Artists as s�brad"
11:43:46 [flamingspinach]
oh, right. Then I'm not sure...
11:44:04 [reosarevok]
Well, I'll enter it as a join phrase for now
11:44:19 [reosarevok]
If someone thinks it should be changed to VA, say so and I can always change it :)
11:44:23 [flamingspinach]
I would tend to think it's acceptable to say Various artists as sõbrad
11:45:13 [flamingspinach]
here's a question: a track on a release I'm trying to add is marked as "[INTERMISSION] Track Title"
11:45:39 [flamingspinach]
should I just get rid of the [INTERMISSION]? I was thinking of "Intermission: Track Title" but that's kind of classical style guide -ish
11:45:56 [flamingspinach]
and it's not like Track Title is a subordinate part of a larger whole called Intermission
11:46:07 [reosarevok]
Is the whole track the intermission, or is the track following the intermission?
11:46:15 [flamingspinach]
the whole track is the intermission
11:46:43 [flamingspinach]
According to CSG it should be Intermission "Track Title" but that's ridiculous on a non-classical release lol
11:47:54 [reosarevok]
I don't think that's ridiculous, I have sometimes used Skit "Title" or Skit: Title
11:47:55 [kovacsur]
kovacsur has joined #musicbrainz
11:48:06 [reosarevok]
Title (intermission) is other option
11:48:29 [flamingspinach]
Hmm
11:48:37 [flamingspinach]
I think Title (intermission) looks the best in this case

I guess you could leave a note on the talk page with a suggestion if you have one? :p
13:45:06 [reosarevok]
dunno
13:45:09 [reosarevok]
Manny, hi :)
13:45:12 [Manny]
yesterday, I tried to submit a two-disc release and somehow messed it up:
13:45:15 [Manny]
http://musicbrainz.org/artist/8ab3f78a-9198-4de9-a9ec-979919b5fd6c
13:45:36 [Manny]
two releases were created, one that only contains the first disc/medium, and one that contains both
13:45:50 [Manny]
the one containing only the first medium has the TOC of the first medium attached
13:46:09 [Manny]
the one containing both media has the TOC ID of the second medium attached to the second medium
13:46:12 [Manny]
TOC = TOC ID
13:46:40 [Manny]
I wonder what the correct way of dealing with this is
13:46:47 [reosarevok]
Merging them
13:47:04 [Manny]
ok, I probably proposed to many edits:
13:47:04 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16061056 is half of it
13:47:05 [Manny]
http://musicbrainz.org/artist/8ab3f78a-9198-4de9-a9ec-979919b5fd6c/edits
13:47:49 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Merge_Releases has some more info
13:48:20 [reosarevok]
But basically, in this case, open both releases, press Merge, select Merge mediums and recordings, and select the 2xCD one as the one you want to merge into
13:49:43 [Manny]
reosarevok: maybe I should cancel some of my edits. It looks quite messy.
13:49:52 [reosarevok]
For these two releases, merging works
13:50:04 [reosarevok]
Of course, I could move the TOC for CD 1 to the right place
13:50:08 [reosarevok]
And you could cancel the 1CD one
13:50:10 [reosarevok]
That works too
13:50:17 [reosarevok]
Hmm, sounds simpler
13:50:20 [reosarevok]
Let's do that
13:50:38 [reosarevok]
Oooh
13:50:42 [reosarevok]
You're doing it already?
13:50:51 [Manny]
yeah, I just did it before joining here
13:50:52 [reosarevok]
Cool
13:50:57 [reosarevok]
Approved that
13:51:00 [Manny]
ok
13:51:17 [reosarevok]
Now, cancel http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16060806
13:51:21 [Manny]
ah great, now it shows up
13:51:30 [reosarevok]
(the add for the 1xCD)
13:52:47 [Manny]
done
13:53:03 [reosarevok]
Good
13:53:15 [Manny]
ok it looks great now :)
13:53:24 [Manny]
I'll check my other edits and cancel most of them / all of them
13:53:24 [reosarevok]
Now, people, let's get some votes in http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16061056
13:53:31 [reosarevok]
(that's still needed)
13:54:42 [reosarevok]
Also, let's split the artist
13:54:46 [reosarevok]
How is it in the cover?
13:54:56 [reosarevok]
I can't find one that is big enough to see
13:55:25 [reosarevok]
Oh, found it :)
13:56:17 [reosarevok]
A few votes on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16074598 to finish this? :)
13:58:41 [kovacsur]
shouldn't the "Im freien Meer" bit be part of the title, by the way?
13:59:52 [kovacsur]
the Amazon page lists MusikFreiZeit as an artist, no idea if that's right
14:00:16 [reosarevok]
http://www.ralfschmid.de/docs/disc.html lists it as the title
14:00:58 [kovacsur]
http://www.talesintonestrio.de/docs/info.html lists it as a project comprising of TTT and the two others
14:01:43 [reosarevok]
Why can't everyone agree? :(
14:01:47 [kovacsur]
:(
14:03:02 [reosarevok]
Hmm, yeah, it seems that's it
14:03:11 [reosarevok]
http://www.google.ee/search?rlz=1C1LENN_enEE462EE462&aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=MusikFreiZeit#sclient=psy-ab&hl=et&rlz=1C1LENN_enEE462EE462&source=hp&q=MusikFreiZeit+meer&pbx=1&oq=MusikFreiZeit+meer&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1741l2313l1l2418l4l4l0l0l0l0l450l1076l2-1.1.1l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=7e1ce33c0a466812&biw=1366&bih=607 seems to give a lot of hits that call it artist
14:03:34 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok cancels the split and will rename then
14:04:59 [reosarevok]
MusikFreiZeit (tales in tones trio, J. Enders, J. Kraus) // IM FREIEN MEER //
14:05:00 [reosarevok]
Yeah
14:05:05 [reosarevok]
That's the shop linked from the label site
14:06:46 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16074725 then
14:08:42 [reosarevok]
And collaborators linked
14:08:45 [reosarevok]
That should be it :)
14:09:12 [the_metalgamer]
the_metalgamer has joined #musicbrainz
14:10:40 [Manny]
I agree with kovacsur
14:10:47 [Manny]
reosarevok: ah ok
14:10:53 [Manny]
sorry, I am very unexperienced
14:10:57 [kovacsur]
Manny: you sure picked a tricky release for your first edit. :)
14:11:23 [Manny]
I still have some open edits
14:11:25 [Manny]
http://musicbrainz.org/user/GeistDesKriegers/edits/open
14:12:19 [Manny]
should I ignore them?
14:12:26 [Manny]
the release looks OK
14:12:34 [reosarevok]
Yeah
14:12:40 [reosarevok]
Those are needed
14:12:41 [reosarevok]
:)
14:12:56 [Manny]
btw. the "Recordings" tab http://musicbrainz.org/artist/8ab3f78a-9198-4de9-a9ec-979919b5fd6c/recordings does not contain the track lengths of the 2nd album
14:13:30 [reosarevok]
Yeah
14:13:32 [reosarevok]
Known issue
14:13:55 [reosarevok]
Hopefully some automatic way for that kind of stuff to be sourced from tracks will be added soon
14:13:58 [reosarevok]
soon-ish
14:13:58 [reosarevok]
:)
14:14:04 [Manny]
ok :)
14:15:13 [Manny]
by the way, as I insert the 2nd medium and open sound-juicer under linux (which uses a [probably outdated] musicbrainz library), I see all the tracks from the first and from the 2nd medium
14:15:37 [reosarevok]
Yeah
14:15:47 [reosarevok]
The library is indeed outdated
14:16:14 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok seems to recall someone from soundjuicer being working on it
14:16:21 [reosarevok]
But it might have been other ripper
14:16:30 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok gets confused by the amount of rippers available
14:17:33 [Mineo]
well, we had a lot of reports about problems with rippers
14:17:56 [Mineo]
some were using /ws/1 (which Mannys sound-juicer does), some were still using the rdf thing
14:18:42 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
man i need a better irc client than this coloquy (altough collo isn't that bad)
14:19:02 [reosarevok]
Colloquy is pretty OK IMO
14:19:14 [reosarevok]
Xchat is fine but dunno if there's an OSX version
14:19:37 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
there is, it's called xchat alpha
14:19:40 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
not as good tho
14:20:10 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
* ZaphodBeeblebrox is obsessing about nanobugs
14:20:24 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
they are cool
14:20:35 [nano-]
\o/
14:20:40 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
tho i wish they weren't so expensive
14:20:46 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
o_O
14:20:58 [reosarevok]
heh
14:21:01 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
naI mean http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260913959634&hlp=false
14:21:07 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
erh
14:21:07 [ocharles]
ZaphodBeeblebrox: you might try irccloud.com
14:21:17 [reosarevok]
That's almost as good as the day I started talking about muesli and there was an user called muesli :D
14:21:40 [Muz]
* Muz used to work with muesli. :)
14:21:49 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
and collo aw man, i type na tab and start typing and it does naTYPING
14:22:41 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
müsli?
14:23:15 [kovacsur]
Hm, I have some doubts about a release I added a couple of months ago: http://musicbrainz.org/release/3ead96e0-8eb6-438a-b327-d0a01fed470b
14:23:30 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
erh ocharles, do you have an invite? it's like invite only idk
14:23:40 [reosarevok]
kovacsur: what is it?
14:23:41 [kovacsur]
First off, it's a compilation of tracks from two albums, one of them having the same title as the compilation
14:23:49 [kovacsur]
should it be moved to a release group of its own?
14:24:02 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
hmm...
14:24:20 [reosarevok]
Hmm
14:24:30 [luks]
ZaphodBeeblebrox: send me your email address
14:24:36 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
it reminds me of that judas preist album, that for whatever (legal? pfst) reasons got rereleased as-is as a compliation
14:24:43 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
luks: gk
14:24:47 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
erh k
14:24:57 [reosarevok]
It picks only a few of the tracks from that album, right?
14:25:03 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok thinks it makes sense to move it, yes
14:26:09 [kovacsur]
The other issue is the tracking error between tracks 1 & 2. Technically I could add new recordings and make partial performance/compilation ARs
14:26:29 [kovacsur]
but would users gain any practical advantage?
14:38:32 [ocharles]
ZaphodBeeblebrox: let me check
14:39:03 [ocharles]
ZaphodBeeblebrox: yea, pm me an email address
14:39:37 [CatCat]
ocharles: luks was kind enoughto already do it :) thank you still
14:40:02 [ocharles]
ah, cool
14:50:32 [reosarevok]
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15939348 looks like it needs some more eyes and some discussion outside of the two people who're talking right now, in case someone wants to check
14:56:06 [murdos]
and once you've voted on this edit, you can vote on http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16064154 that already circumvents the probable result of edit 15939348
14:57:56 [murdos]
congrats wikimedia! $20 millions collected! http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/01/02/wikimedia-fundraiser-concludes-with-record-breaking-donations/
14:58:42 [reosarevok]
Yeah, now if they found a way of doing that without annoying half-a-screen banners it would be amazing :p
14:58:58 [reosarevok]
(I admit it is impressive though)
14:59:49 [voiceinsideyou]
voiceinsideyou has joined #musicbrainz
15:00:33 [murdos]
yeah, I admit their banners were too agressive
15:04:39 [reosarevok]
I guess it *is* what works for them, but I'd love them to try and make them smaller and see if they get less donations because of it
15:05:19 [reosarevok]
(I also don't think such an approach would work on MB now because a huge part of our use comes via ws and we can't put banners there)
15:05:20 [murdos]
* murdos dreams of a day where MB had the same ambitions
15:06:29 [reosarevok]
I do think some reminding about donations to MB makes sense though, maybe for example after blog posts for releases
15:06:34 [murdos]
well, just a small reminder - from time to time - about existence of donations would help
15:06:35 [reosarevok]
Especially the CAA one, for example
15:07:03 [reosarevok]
(the actual release, once the Archive is ready)
15:07:07 [reosarevok]
(not the code one)
15:07:24 [murdos]
yes, I agree
15:09:03 [jesus2099]

lolcat, what is tl dr territory ? :)
15:09:46 [reosarevok]
jesus2099: too long / don't read
15:09:48 [kovacsur]
tldr / "too long didn't read"
15:09:52 [reosarevok]
Yeah, that
15:10:03 [jesus2099]
wow, new one for me :)
15:10:16 [ocharles]
murdos: it would seem the whole "begging for donations" thing does work :)
15:11:13 [jesus2099]
I know who ZaphodBeeblebrox is
15:11:29 [reosarevok]
ocharles: it does work for Wikipedia, which is a page based on actual views
15:11:36 [reosarevok]
Would it work for MB, based mainly on ws?
15:11:45 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok isn't against trying though
15:11:46 [ocharles]
reosarevok: I was being a bit sarcastic with that comment
15:12:07 [reosarevok]
:p
15:12:09 [ocharles]
(it does work, but wouldn't work as well for mb because we're just not as important as wikipedia)
15:12:22 [reosarevok]
True, but we don't need $20 million either :p
15:12:43 [reosarevok]
(they would be great, but we don't need them)
15:12:44 [ocharles]
i wouldn't mind a raise...
15:12:44 [ocharles]
:P
15:12:59 [reosarevok]
ocharles, move to a cheaper country instead, instant raise :p
15:13:13 [jesus2099]
reosarevok: ah sometimes “they” ask for server names here, in the IRC ?
15:13:17 [ocharles]
i'm doing it wrong, planning to move to a more expensive country :P
15:13:25 [murdos]
reosarevok: that's why MB should have a more appealing visual, and start being indexed by google
15:13:27 [reosarevok]
Which one was that?
15:13:47 [jesus2099]
reosarevok: the wiki page with server names :)
15:13:47 [reosarevok]
murdos, agreed on both counts, the visual part is harder, the index one should start soon I hope
15:13:51 [reosarevok]
What happened with it?
15:13:58 [murdos]
it should be one aim of MB to attract more website visits
15:13:58 [reosarevok]
jesus2099, that was at ocharles
15:14:04 [jesus2099]
:D
15:14:11 [reosarevok]
jesus2099: at you, "they" is ruaok, mostly, and yes
15:14:22 [reosarevok]
He sometimes asks for names here
15:14:29 [jesus2099]
three guys : ruoak, mostly and yes. ;)
15:14:33 [reosarevok]
LOL
15:14:57 [reosarevok]
Oh, but Yes are several guys!
15:15:04 [reosarevok]
(also, they're boring)
15:15:07 [jesus2099]
I like jiji and kiki but it probably sounds stupid out of context
15:15:39 [reosarevok]
All our server names do ;)
15:15:39 [nikki]
heh, jiji was one of the ones I was considering
15:15:54 [nikki]
* nikki is working her way through the cats in studio ghibli anyway
15:16:13 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok is finishing http://musicbrainz.org/artist/fde4460b-868a-493e-8c53-221e418c8959/recordings?page=21
15:16:27 [reosarevok]
That took a while, but complete catalogs are a godsend
15:16:47 [nikki]
reosarevok: and no, it's not on userscripts because it's still too basic
15:17:20 [reosarevok]
Yeah, as I said later, adding a "part./live/inst./cover" thing to it would be needed before it was useful for non-autoeditors
15:17:46 [jesus2099]
* jesus2099 loves this kiki+jiji “couple”
15:17:53 [nikki]
and not adding the work as soon as its clicked :P
15:18:32 [reosarevok]
Why not?
15:18:32 [jesus2099]
nikki: it’s nostalgic feeling, if you add them once, thanks :)
15:18:55 [nikki]
reosarevok: the number of times I've almost misclicked that link is crazy :P
15:19:23 [reosarevok]
And yet, *almost*
15:19:29 [reosarevok]
I've misclicked it once
15:19:34 [reosarevok]
Still not a big issue
15:19:47 [reosarevok]
Even less for non-autoeditors, who can just cancel
15:20:40 [murdos]
what userscript are you talking about?
15:21:57 [reosarevok]
murdos: "Add work from this recording" in the sidebar in the individual recording page
15:22:06 [reosarevok]
Something nikki and bitmap did a long time ago
15:22:26 [nikki]
reosarevok: it still gives me fright every time :/
15:22:41 [nikki]
+a
15:25:54 [murdos]
nikki: have you seen my update of http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/118691 in backlog?
15:26:13 [nikki]
yep, just looking now
15:26:21 [murdos]
ok
15:27:29 [reosarevok]
Yay, on to the last page! :D
15:28:05 [jesus2099]
murdos: do you have the single version in preview (streaming etc.) somewhere so I can maybe ear check myself your merge ?
15:28:20 [jesus2099]
I got my copy back (album version) and ripped it this time
15:28:29 [murdos]
jesus2099: no
15:28:31 [jesus2099]
resubmitted AcoustID / PUID
15:28:38 [jesus2099]
ah ben bravo
15:28:55 [jesus2099]
I only ask to be convinced
15:29:03 [jesus2099]
I’m not
15:29:05 [jesus2099]
yet
15:29:35 [jesus2099]
hey, maybe 10 heures !
15:29:43 [jesus2099]
(deezer) has it ?
15:30:00 [Mineo]
I wonder if i'm the only one unable to connect to userscripts.org
15:30:02 [jesus2099]
I’ll try that tonight
15:30:17 [jesus2099]
Mineo: You’re the only one
15:30:18 [reosarevok]
Mineo: I just could a moment ago
15:30:34 [jesus2099]
(but it’s frequent slow down or crash because of auto updaters in some scripts)
15:31:11 [jesus2099]
http://userscripts.org/tags/musicbrainz works atm for me
15:31:20 [Mineo]
hmm, I haven't been able to reach it for ... a few weeks?
15:31:21 [jesus2099]
(userscripts best page)
15:31:28 [jesus2099]
not even right now ?
15:31:40 [Mineo]
no :/
15:31:54 [jesus2099]
it might be a proxy/firewall problem then.......
15:32:08 [jesus2099]
or your ISP ← hey I nkow some acronyms !
15:32:37 [nikki]
murdos: awesome, it works for works :D can I upload that version to userscripts?
15:32:48 [jesus2099]
or maybe you had a userjs with autoupdate too frquent (involuntarily) and then userscripts blacklisted your IP ?
15:32:51 [jesus2099]
Mineo: ↗
15:33:16 [jesus2099]
nikki: yes please ;)
15:34:04 [Mineo]
isp is unlikely, it didn't work at my parents' house and the university network
15:34:15 [murdos]
nikki: of course you can
15:34:20 [jesus2099]
nikki: doesn’t work for japanese works
15:34:45 [reosarevok]
So no IP either. Mineo, maybe it just hates you
15:35:39 [jesus2099]
nikki: correction, it does not work for all of them (i tested only works that had wikipedia pages of course)
15:36:50 [nikki]
for example?
15:36:56 [reosarevok]
jesus2099: it doesn't now, that's why it needs a correction
15:37:02 [reosarevok]
(unless you mean murdos' correction)
15:37:03 [Mineo]
and only 4 scripts with update checks, hmm

15:39:01 [jesus2099]
second composition also
15:39:03 [jesus2099]
ah
15:39:07 [reosarevok]
(is the English name)
15:39:15 [reosarevok]
But yeah, that's what I needed :)
15:39:53 [jesus2099]
There are 3 of them ? see http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/アランフエス協奏曲
15:40:07 [reosarevok]
Yep
15:40:16 [reosarevok]
I know about the piece (it's Spanish)
15:40:24 [reosarevok]
I just needed to be sure it was the right one :)
15:40:31 [jesus2099]
Mineo: what’s your browser version ? that’s so strange !
15:40:36 [reosarevok]
Last page of the 22 of recordings! :D
15:40:41 [jesus2099]
I know the piece too, it’s great !

nikki: maybe because of the “(…)” !!!!
15:42:28 [kovacsur]
jesus2099: the script retrieves Wikipedia urls from url ARs, you need to modify it if you want it to try to find pages based on the entity name
15:42:30 [jesus2099]
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSMOS_(宇宙%29
15:42:33 [Mineo]
jesus2099: ok, this is really weird. I was going to say the browser most likely doesn't matter in this case, but for some reason, opera loads it (slow and without any css, but it does) :/
15:42:35 [reosarevok]
nikki: you might want to remove the "Right now it doesn't work for works." parts
15:42:51 [nikki]
reosarevok: so impatient! this site is really slow you know :P
15:42:55 [reosarevok]
Mineo: it just loaded slowly for me too (although it managed to load with CSS too)
15:43:00 [jesus2099]
kovacsur: OH ! How dumb (me) ! I thought it was AUTOMAGIC !
15:43:16 [nikki]
the admin tab always takes forever to load >_<
15:43:33 [jesus2099]
Mineo: OPERA RULES
15:43:37 [reosarevok]
jesus2099: of course, adding all the wiki pages you can to works is completely recommended! :D
15:43:47 [jesus2099]
reosarevok: you bet
15:44:53 [reosarevok]
(well, all the ones that apply)
15:45:23 [reosarevok]
Once we have decent i18n, we should probably load them all and just hide the ones that don't apply to the selected language or somthing
15:45:24 [reosarevok]
Dunno
15:45:28 [reosarevok]
But for now...

hmm. localStorage...
15:58:48 [nikki]
* nikki gets ideas
15:59:00 [jesus2099]
better than calling WS each time, this would be bad for MB
15:59:10 [jesus2099]

Will modbot remove an artist w/ no relationships if there's a pending edit for that artist?
17:09:56 [ianmcorvidae]
it shouldn't, I think -- nikki?
17:10:22 [CallerNo6]
example, http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16051802 ... http://musicbrainz.org/artist/bd114363-6ed6-401e-b46f-c0a7f2a09059
17:12:19 [nikki]
it shouldn't be removed while there are edits shown on http://musicbrainz.org/artist/bd114363-6ed6-401e-b46f-c0a7f2a09059/open_edits
17:13:12 [CallerNo6]
nikki, that's what I thought. The warning "This artist has no relationships, recordings..." is misleading
17:13:38 [nikki]
yeah :/
17:13:41 [kovacsur]
I ran into the same problem a couple of days ago http://musicbrainz.org/artist/52e7653f-61a2-4a00-b547-da7f066cc38c/edits

17:30:06 [ocharles]
jesus2099: I don't know what you're asking
17:30:21 [jesus2099]
between my *** and *** I inserted a blank character
17:30:22 [ocharles]
but I also use a monospace font
17:30:29 [ocharles]
then no, I can't see them
17:30:33 [jesus2099]
can you see blank, thinner first then normal second ?
17:30:48 [ocharles]
no
17:30:52 [jesus2099]
you see replacement square box character or something like that then ?
17:30:58 [ocharles]
no

17:31:14 [jesus2099]

*** ?
17:31:18 [jesus2099]
no
17:31:20 [ocharles]
yes.
17:31:26 [kovacsur]
jesus2099: on Win 7/XChat-WDK, default monospace font, the narrow non-breaking space is a missing character (Square with 202F)
17:31:27 [ianmcorvidae]
jesus2099: both spaces look the same width
17:31:35 [jesus2099]
ocharles: *** ***
17:31:35 [ianmcorvidae]
because our fonts don't differentiate widths
17:31:43 [jesus2099]
there is a thin space, isn’t it ? ocharles
17:31:48 [ocharles]
no, there is just a normal space
17:32:03 [jesus2099]
ah ok that’s ok too, thanks ocharles :)
17:32:10 [ocharles]
but I really, I don't care enough to fuel your obsession with making stuff hard to read by shoving unicode crap into it, so I'm staying out
17:32:27 [jesus2099]
kovacsur: thanks very much for the testing guys :)
17:32:42 [kovacsur]
jesus2099: all this is irrelevant though, you should be testing display in media players.
17:32:50 [jesus2099]
ianmcorvidae: thanks, no big deal if the same width on monospace as long as it’s still a space
17:33:11 [jesus2099]
I thought your IRC were like mine using the OS fonts replacements etc. not monospace
17:33:17 [jesus2099]
I have no pb anywhere
17:33:27 [jesus2099]
I mean 100% ok in media player
17:33:50 [jesus2099]
but foobar2000 is really unicode friendly
17:34:19 [derwin]
jesus2099: I also use a monospace font in irc.
17:34:32 [jesus2099]
I’m testing this because it’s the way spacings are printed before punctuation !?:;» etc. in french
17:34:32 [derwin]
both of them look like "** **"
17:34:36 [derwin]
I can't see any different spacing
17:34:47 [jesus2099]

18:16:02 [reosarevok]
Sales of luxury cars in Spain go up 83% in 2011
18:16:24 [derwin]
luxury car number is more volatile
18:16:35 [derwin]
that statistic is not compelling.
18:16:39 [reosarevok]
Sure
18:16:41 [reosarevok]
But still
18:17:10 [derwin]
also, 2010 could have been a remarkably bad year for sales, year-over-year for one year is not a great stat either.
18:17:24 [derwin]
but other than that, I'm outraged at those rich people buying htings

Home of 25% of the 500 euro notes of the EU
18:19:20 [derwin]
huh, what is the reason?
18:19:32 [reosarevok]
(heh, apparently in 2007 "65% of all the money in circulation in Spain [was] in the form of 500 euro notes.
18:19:32 [reosarevok]
")
18:19:52 [reosarevok]
Less cumbersome way of storing big amounts of undeclared money
18:20:12 [derwin]
that's more or less what I figured :)
18:20:35 [reosarevok]
It's pretty common for sales of, say, houses to pay a relatively big percentage of it in undeclared money and claim a lower price to avoid taxes
18:21:06 [reosarevok]
(also, very few self-employed people, from dentists to plumbers, make invoices / pay VAT)
18:22:19 [reosarevok]
(same with young people, especially those working part-time, as it's cheaper for both employer and employee and, let's be honest, nobody in Spain gives a fuck about taxes)
18:23:41 [derwin]
wait, you mean if taxes are too high, rational actors avoid paying them via extralegal means?
18:23:45 [reosarevok]
No
18:23:52 [reosarevok]
I mean if taxes exist
18:23:52 [reosarevok]
:p
18:23:56 [derwin]
I thought all we had to do in order to collect 90% of rich peoples wealth in taxes is tax them 90%
18:24:13 [derwin]
and that there was no way they could possibly avoid paying those taxes by say, controlling the tax regime by proxy
18:24:26 [derwin]
I'm shocked, shocked to hear these things
18:24:28 [reosarevok]
:p
18:24:43 [reosarevok]
I can understand why people don't want to pay taxes
18:24:44 [derwin]

18:25:09 [derwin]
those lousy 1% people, none of whom I presume earned or deserve their wealth!! * shakes fist *
18:26:53 [reosarevok]
(or with, say, people who stop working and get money from the state because they claim to have terrible incapacitating illnesses which basically avoid them living a normal life, and then have a normal life and happily speak about all the money they're cheating the state out of)
18:27:47 [reosarevok]
Oh, I have no problems with people who earned and deserve their wealth, although them being a bit less individualistic would be nice
18:29:04 [reosarevok]
That being said, people who run a semi-public bank, do it badly, and when fired after the bank collapses happily take millions in compensation fees anger me only slightly less than the idiots who agreed to those contracts in the first place :p
18:30:55 [derwin]
well, those contracts are industry standard
18:31:05 [derwin]
to me that's an argument to not hve "semi-public banks"
18:31:41 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok can barely see a difference, seeing that the private banks who had the same issue paid those compensations with the money they got from the government to avoid them from sinking
18:31:43 [derwin]
like, there's an error in thinking about CEOs of "failing companies" pay, too
18:32:01 [derwin]
if you don't pay the CEO of a failing company as much or more as the CEO of a non-failing company, you will not be able to attract CEO labor
18:32:21 [derwin]
and if the CEO comes in and the company continues to fail, it says nothing about whether it is failing less or more
18:34:34 [reosarevok]
Yeah, but if the CEO pay comes from my tax money even though they are not public employees, I can get predictably annoyed :p
18:35:25 [reosarevok]
(mostly talking about the private banks now)
18:36:53 [andres]
There is a good reason not too want to pay VAT as a self employed person: It such a bother to coordinate regularly with the revenue office...
18:37:09 [reosarevok]
Of course, given that I absolutely fail to understand how a person can need and use more than, say, 3k� per month, I guess I am unable to understand everything that comes with amounts of money over that
18:37:10 [reosarevok]
:p
18:38:35 [reosarevok]
andres: true, and the lack of decent, fast systems for that is one of my main complaints about tax systems
18:39:04 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok is not annoyed to have to pay, but he is annoyed to be told "hey, figure out how much you must pay and then do it"
18:39:28 [andres]
I regularly use up 3 days of doing VAT stuff. 2 days of procrastination/dread and one day of actually doing it ;)
18:39:49 [andres]
You have to do it every month here..
18:40:08 [reosarevok]
3 months in Spain IIRC
18:40:30 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok thankfully was in a sector that didn't pay VAT when he was self-employed
18:40:54 [andres]
That exists?
18:40:57 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok thinks most people in Spain just pay someone to do it for them
18:41:16 [reosarevok]
andres: in Spain, translation of cultural stuff (in my case, videogames, but apparently it counts)
18:43:30 [derwin]
otoh, if the government is going to automate that, they have to have lots of information about you
18:44:59 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok doesn't particularly mind that
18:45:20 [reosarevok]
But hey, they could make it an opt-in thing :p
18:46:18 [reosarevok]
otoh, if the government is to make sure people pay what they should, they need to have that information anyway
18:49:09 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok seems to remember here in Estonia it's common for your national ID card to also work as a login card for your internet banking
18:49:19 [reosarevok]
Which I guess means they already do something like that
18:50:28 [reosarevok]
I imagine it's relatively important for them to control tax payments well, given that they refuse to get indebted (which is probably a sane idea) and that money needs to come from somewhere
18:53:01 [reosarevok]

19:04:42 [hawke_]
MBS-4111…less so, but still a good idea
19:05:35 [reosarevok]
Both would seem to be oriented to turning MB into a more useful site for actually browsing
19:05:40 [reosarevok]
Which is a good thing IMO
19:06:34 [hawke_]
Yup
19:06:57 [hawke_]
I kinda worry that it will lead to some wrong edits though
19:07:11 [hawke_]
Since we’ll have to decide which release is the “main” one to display
19:07:29 [hawke_]
And if we do that, someone might have a weird/different version and try to edit it
19:08:30 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok suspects just taking the earlier release without actually advertising it as such would work
19:09:05 [DarkerAudit]
DarkerAudit has joined #musicbrainz
19:09:21 [hawke_]
reosarevok: Yes, that would be one way to find the main one. Still the problem applies
19:09:40 [reosarevok]
Well, yes
19:09:41 [hawke_]
reosarevok: Another way would be the one which has the most recordings which appear on more than one release in the RG
19:09:46 [reosarevok]
But it applies to everything
19:10:11 [hawke_]
It applies more when people don’t think about which version they have, or how many different versions there are
19:10:25 [reosarevok]
I mean, people keep sometimes adding / removing tracks from releases
19:10:32 [hawke_]
And our current RG display kind of forces you to do that.
19:10:45 [reosarevok]
And for the cover thing to change they would have to go into a release and change it, wouldn't they?
19:10:46 [hawke_]
Right, so that display problem will make it harder. :-/
19:10:54 [reosarevok]
So they would still see if it applies to theirs or not
19:10:57 [hawke_]
Yes, not worried about covers. ;-)
19:11:06 [reosarevok]
Oooh

https://online.gema.de/werke/detailPage.do?dbkey=27781785&title=FIRE+AND+ICE&pdf=false credits the same 3 persons as composer and author -- does author there equal our lyricist?
19:12:14 [reosarevok]
I think in theory it does
19:12:17 [hawke_]
I believe so.
19:12:28 [reosarevok]
But I also think it's pretty common for bands to credit everyone as everything
19:12:34 [reosarevok]
So everyone shares royalty money
19:12:49 [hawke_]
lol
19:14:09 [hawke_]

Oh, hawke_, did I show you http://www.atmaclassique.com/En/Albums/AlbumInfo.aspx?AlbumID=360 ?
19:14:58 [hawke_]
reosarevok: You didn’t.
19:15:14 [reosarevok]
That label is smaller than Naxos and seems to include full booklets
19:15:42 [reosarevok]
Well, almost full - no back cover there so no barcode :(
19:16:01 [bitmap]
nikki: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-2805 was fixed a long time ago I believe
19:16:22 [reosarevok]
But it still looks like a reasonable one to try to import/fix if you want a cleanup effort
19:16:52 [bitmap]
ah, duplicate of http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-2827
19:17:48 [bitmap]
technically mine was the duplicate :)
19:19:30 [reosarevok]
hawke_: other option would be to choose a Naxos series: http://www.naxos.com/series/spanish_classics.htm (I'm doing this one, but you can see links to others in the sidebar)
19:20:18 [hawke_]
reosarevok: Thanks
19:21:22 [reosarevok]
Now, if you organise one, I will probably help
19:21:30 [reosarevok]
I would imagine other people would too :)
19:22:02 [hawke_]

19:22:40 [hawke_]
Once a month for 24 hours?
19:24:36 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok guesses once (a day/every few days) for a while would be OK
19:24:46 [reosarevok]
Since we don't expect to have to consult everything
19:24:52 [reosarevok]
Just specific doubts
19:25:16 [reosarevok]
(I guess)
19:25:41 [murdos]
murdos has joined #musicbrainz

murdos: if you haven't seen them yet, I guess luks' tickets http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4112 / http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4111 might interest you
19:26:44 [reosarevok]
(as they are related somehow with what we talked earlier on making MB more visitor-friendly)
19:28:09 [CallerNo6]
Is that the goal? I always imagined there'd be a separate site for browsing vs. the editing-centric one.
19:28:34 [reosarevok]
That's another way of doing it
19:28:44 [reosarevok]
(and one that also sounds reasonable)
19:28:55 [reosarevok]
I actually seem to remember that was closer to luks' idea
19:29:03 [hawke_]
I wouldn’t mind having the browsing-centric one
19:29:03 [reosarevok]
Which means I was kinda surprised to see those tickets
19:32:07 [hawke_]
reosarevok: I added the naxos series ones to the cleanup list google doc
19:33:23 [hawke_]
Other thing I’m worried about is edit collisions, two people making the same edit
19:33:32 [reosarevok]
You mean for the cleanup thing?
19:33:38 [hawke_]
It wouldn’t be the end of the world, but it would add a lot of inefficiency
19:33:38 [hawke_]
Yeah
19:33:43 [reosarevok]
Just make people write who's working on what
19:33:54 [hawke_]
Yeah, but how to divide it?
19:34:13 [hawke_]
Probably best to have a plan for starting on it.
19:35:18 [hawke_]
With two people you can start at opposite ends of something, with more people it gets complicated
19:35:35 [reosarevok]
Just note what releases you're doing
19:35:50 [reosarevok]
Like, I'd copy the full list
19:36:04 [reosarevok]
When someone wants to add / fix one, they put the name by it
19:36:04 [murdos]
reosarevok: I was the first to vote on these tickets, but thanks ;-)
19:36:17 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok guessed so (at murdos) but just in case :)
19:36:47 [reosarevok]
hawke_: these releases take long enough for it to be not too annoying to update the list before starting another one :p

hrmph. i wonder why picard (0.16) doesn't load writer ARs for this track http://musicbrainz.org/recording/3ee6f233-f54d-4c02-970d-752942a12b2b
19:59:01 [v6lur]
is it becaus they are specifically that (i.e. "writer"), not composer or lyricist?
19:59:08 [luks]
yes
19:59:34 [luks]
http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/PICARD-21
20:02:53 [v6lur]
* v6lur voted for it...
20:03:17 [luks]
it would be more useful to suggest a solution :)
20:04:38 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok agrees with either using composer or just allowing it for plugins / scripts
20:04:43 [reosarevok]
But at least the latter should be done
20:04:50 [v6lur]
either of those already mentioned there suits me :)
20:05:14 [v6lur]
or even both of them
20:05:28 [reosarevok]
Well, the latter needs to be done regardless of the first being done too, doesn't it?
20:05:55 [hawke_]
luks: What’s wrong with just making it available in Picard as %writer%?
20:06:17 [hawke_]
It doesn’t work for ID3 because you need Picard→ID3 tag mapping, but otherwise should be fine
20:06:29 [luks]
well, I personally wouldn't want that written to ogg files
20:07:11 [djce]
djce has joined #musicbrainz
20:07:12 [luks]
I'll probably add some configuration for mapping ARs to tags
20:07:28 [reosarevok]
Why wouldn't you want it in ogg files?
20:07:35 [reosarevok]
(just curious)
20:07:50 [luks]
I'd like to have it in composer instead
20:08:06 [hawke_]
luks: Sure, but that’s trivial taggerscript
20:13:20 [hawke_]
I wonder if a lot of 'writer' ARs could be improved with an 'or' attribute for some ARs
20:13:47 [hawke_]
i.e. "composed by A or B or C”, “lyrics by B or C or X”
20:17:21 [hawke_]
I know there was a ticket or forum post or something asking for that, but I can’t find it
20:20:30 [hawke_]

20:21:45 [reosarevok]

reosarevok, we lose semantics that way, and can't use the data in searches, etc.
20:23:11 [reosarevok]
Sure
20:23:25 [hawke_]
reosarevok: I think it’s a mostly-adequate workaround for the time being
20:23:34 [reosarevok]
But the other way makes the relationships turn from something you can trust to something you can trust sometimes, but is just a guess other times
20:23:41 [hawke_]
But if we could find a way to represent that, that would be nice
20:23:51 [hawke_]
reosarevok: That’s what we have now. ;-)
20:24:05 [reosarevok]
Well, it shouldn't be :p
20:24:17 [reosarevok]
As people are not supposed to add uncertainties and random guesses
20:24:38 [reosarevok]
I mean, if we have "2) John Smith or Peter James on drums;" and someone adds one or both, it's just wrong
20:24:39 [kovacsur]
A lot of data we store is uncertain by nature
20:25:47 [tommy_o]
hey everyone, I'm following up on a edit note I received when adding allmusic links to an artist (The Chemical Brothers). the 'Discography Relationship Type' page of the wiki states that Allmusic.com '...discourage[s] systematic linking', but I can't find that anywhere else. am I okay adding allmusic links for artists?
20:26:04 [reosarevok]
tommy_o, I think they *used* to discourage it
20:26:19 [reosarevok]
There's an Allmusic relationship type now, including for artists
20:26:43 [reosarevok]
So yeah, feel free to add allmusic links, but better do it using such relationship :)
20:26:49 [tommy_o]
I think they used to use some kind of http get to SQL request or something similar (from an old Wikipedia reference page I read in the past)
20:26:53 [tommy_o]
alright, thanks!
20:27:13 [reosarevok]
kovacsur, such as? (not that I don't agree, but still)
20:27:14 [tommy_o]
reosarevok: can I edit the Wikipedia page to reflect that?
20:27:40 [reosarevok]
(normally we're supposed to add stuff from liners or other trusted sources, which might be wrong, sure, like anything can, but...)
20:27:52 [kovacsur]
reosarevok: most of the data related to authorship, including dates
20:27:55 [reosarevok]
tommy_o: a) Wikipedia is just Wikipedia, this is just a wiki ;)
20:28:26 [reosarevok]

hawke_, not saying that's not happening
20:29:29 [reosarevok]
Just saying that we need a very good way of telling data users that this is not verified
20:29:41 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]
hey can someone with direct db fuu help me find out what happened with album 2dfac331-97a8-483a-8774-f9a2a3cfd831 ?
20:29:42 [reosarevok]
Or less verified than the rest by some orders of magnitude :P
20:30:11 [kovacsur]
reosarevok, I think the data should still be verified
20:30:13 [reosarevok]
And I don't think a simple attribute is that... might be, though, and maybe I'm just being too conservative
20:30:30 [hawke_]
reosarevok: The point is, that this is pretty well-verified, but the best researched sources don’t always have the info
20:30:52 [hawke_]
reosarevok: And they have a (very) educated guess
20:31:36 [hawke_]
You see this a fair amount in classical works too
20:31:39 [kovacsur]
Basically, the idea is to make the uncertainity explicit.
20:31:41 [reosarevok]
Sure, and I can see other cases in which this is useful
20:31:45 [reosarevok]
Yeah, including classical works
20:31:50 [reosarevok]
I am not against it
20:31:55 [hawke_]
some work was always attributed to A, but it turns out that it probably wasn’t
20:31:58 [reosarevok]
I am just trying to find the safest way to add it
20:32:14 [hawke_]
So the official line and what would/should be in MB would be A until that changes
20:32:35 [hawke_]
And you’ll find it thus in a lot of liner notes before the wisdom changed
20:32:53 [hawke_]
Just saying that there is no true fact. :-)
20:34:47 [hawke_]
That said, I’d love a 5-level, color-coded data quality system. ;-)
20:35:29 [hawke_]
and sliders for user-review of every fact.
20:57:33 [ZaphodBeeblebrox]

21:31:01 [VxJasonxV]
I am a forum mod, you know.
21:31:17 [VxJasonxV]
I have a delete button on /every/ post, not just my own.
21:31:27 [reosarevok]
Yeah
21:31:30 [reosarevok]
That's what I mean
21:31:31 [VxJasonxV]
unless I completely misunderstood the issue, which I suspect I did
21:31:32 [VxJasonxV]
k
21:31:32 [reosarevok]
I am a forum mod
21:31:40 [VxJasonxV]
oh, you mean remove moderation privileges.
21:31:40 [reosarevok]
But I can only delete my own posts
21:31:47 [VxJasonxV]
got it
21:32:14 [luks]
reosarevok: not sure if that helps, but let me try
21:32:30 [reosarevok]
Well, won't know until we try :)
21:32:57 [luks]
now you are in the Members group
21:33:08 [luks]
and now you are back to Moderators :)
21:33:17 [luks]
ohh
21:33:20 [luks]
my mistake
21:33:33 [luks]
there are checkboxes to select which forums you can moderate
21:33:38 [luks]
and you had selected none :)
21:33:53 [luks]
that would explain it :)
21:33:58 [luks]
fixed now
21:34:36 [VxJasonxV]
yay
21:35:26 [reosarevok]
Cool :)

http://www.galleryac.com/feist-metals.html - huh. They list CD, LP, and digital downloads on the same page under one catalog number.
21:41:11 [reosarevok]
Quite common
21:41:17 [reosarevok]
(for them to share a cat#)
21:41:27 [reosarevok]
At least outside JP that is
21:42:29 [kepstin]
I suspect they have different barcodes, but those will probably be tricky to find :/

well, I have the cd... that's not the barcode on it :)
21:44:31 [reosarevok]
Vinyl 0602527834221
21:44:43 [reosarevok]
Then there might be several versions :p
21:44:51 [kepstin]
those are the barcodes from the US release, on cherrytree records
21:44:55 [kepstin]
http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/b8f5f7a5-5a62-43b2-8099-cc1b0f8810fa

there's also an LP from polydor in europe
21:45:37 [reosarevok]
And yours are?
21:45:38 [reosarevok]
JP?
21:45:40 [reosarevok]
CA?
21:45:41 [kepstin]
canadian
21:45:41 [reosarevok]
UK?
21:46:00 [kepstin]
* kepstin is canadian after all, and this is a canadian record label releasing stuff by a canadian artist ;)

CD 0827590630024
21:46:31 [reosarevok]
Vinyl 0827590630017
21:46:34 [reosarevok]
Can it be?
21:46:45 [kepstin]
well, that matches my cd
21:46:46 [kovacsur]
I found the same
21:46:47 [kepstin]
could very well be :)
21:46:48 [reosarevok]
That's what amazon.ca's ASIN's say
21:46:58 [kepstin]
ah, i forgot about checking amazon :)
21:58:56 [kepstin]
oh, fun, there's also multiple versions of this release with different bonus tracks on itunes and the amazon mp3 store.
21:59:07 [reosarevok]
Tends to happen
22:05:21 [kepstin]
... then on the canadian itunes store, there's a version of it which has the bonus tracks from both the amazon store and the us itunes store.
22:06:18 [reosarevok]
:D
22:07:01 [kepstin]
... and appears to have the wrong release date, it's a day off from everything else
22:07:02 [djce]
djce has joined #musicbrainz
22:07:07 [kepstin]
(a day early)
22:07:52 [reosarevok]
Either that, or it *was* released a day early
22:08:01 [kepstin]
http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/metals/id470034532 could very well be
22:09:51 [reosarevok]
hawke_: what was the URL of the gdocs thing?
22:10:10 [hawke_]
reosarevok: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Apc8q9cSANzqdFppcDQ1R2w1TU1rUnRIMWV2d3VOOXc
22:10:37 [kepstin]
http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/b8f5f7a5-5a62-43b2-8099-cc1b0f8810fa - well, it's a little more complete now...
22:11:26 [reosarevok]
kepstin: do you have nikki's import-from-iTunes script?
22:11:34 [kepstin]
no, I don't
22:11:50 [reosarevok]
It's in userscripts
22:11:59 [reosarevok]
Also, anyone knows what happened to my wiki? http://imgur.com/GyuZd
22:12:29 [hawke_]
reosarevok: Something broken with CSS?
22:12:40 [hawke_]
try a shift-reload?
22:13:03 [reosarevok]
Oh, that worked
22:13:05 [reosarevok]
Nice
22:13:10 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok didn't even know that existed
22:13:28 [kepstin]
hmm. does it seem like http://www.galleryac.com/feist-metals.html would work for buying the digital release anywhere in the world to you?
22:13:48 [hawke_]
reosarevok: It flushes the cache for the page and reloads everything from the server
22:14:05 [reosarevok]
kepstin: it certainly looks like I could
22:14:22 [kepstin]
* kepstin is trying to decide whether to use 'worldwide' for that :)
22:15:14 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok is not going to pay for it but it seems like it would sell it to me
22:15:36 [hawke_]
Wow, I wish for a way to build build “ensemble presets”, to quickly/easily build a set of ARs to be applied to recordings
22:16:01 [hawke_]
I guess that’ll have to be a feature request for ocharles’ relationship editor
22:17:55 [kepstin]
http://musicbrainz.org/label/43f1132f-9796-4a96-b898-b71ea7ad9b9b?page=3 - it's kind of annoying that this page doesn't show media type now :/
22:18:57 [reosarevok]
wow
22:19:01 [reosarevok]
I hadn't noticed it didn't
22:19:05 [reosarevok]
That's kinda silly
22:25:11 [reosarevok]
hawke_, would be nice if you allowed me to edit :p
22:25:15 [reosarevok]
nick at gmail
22:29:04 [hawke_]
reosarevok: Done
22:30:27 [kovacsur]
Can anyone give me an approximate for the highest number of releases on a label (in MB)?
22:30:42 [kovacsur]
(contemplating the viability of a userscript)
22:31:27 [reosarevok]
nikki or ianmcorvidae can give you exact data I bet
22:32:10 [Mineo]
* Mineo guesses it's more than 100
22:32:15 [Mineo]
1000, even
22:32:29 [kovacsur]
"more than 100" would be pretty safe to assume. :D
22:33:28 [nikki]
10,248
22:33:33 [nikki]
http://musicbrainz.org/label/157afde4-4bf5-4039-8ad2-5a15acc85176 :P
22:33:41 [kovacsur]
thank you nikki :)
22:34:05 [nikki]
the next highest is http://beta.musicbrainz.org/label/011d1192-6f65-45bd-85c4-0400dd45693e with 6518
22:34:25 [kovacsur]
heh, I should have guessed it was [no label]
22:35:10 [hawke_]
nikki: One is on beta, the other is not? ;-)
22:35:36 [nikki]
hawke_: the first one didn't get chance to redirect before I copied the url
22:35:47 [reosarevok]
heh
22:35:49 [reosarevok]
userscript? :p
22:35:58 [nikki]
and there are 781 labels with over 100 releases, 48 with over 1000
22:36:01 [nikki]
yes :P
22:36:31 [nikki]
it's about the only way I can actually stay on beta, given all the links and searches that take me straight to the main server
22:37:15 [reosarevok]
So only one is over 9000?
22:37:17 [reosarevok]
Awwww
22:37:59 [Mineo]
hehe
22:40:54 [nikki]
http://pastebin.com/PJ6YWr5H the ones over 1000
22:41:41 [reosarevok]
Is Jamendo a real label?
22:41:45 [gioele]
21. Jamendo | 2131 :)

I think
22:56:07 [KingJ]
KingJ has joined #musicbrainz
22:57:57 [kovacsur]
all of these are basically distributors
22:58:45 [hawke_]
Isn’t distributor a label type, though?
22:58:47 [kovacsur]
even if bandcamp claims they aren't
22:59:53 [reosarevok]
Now, http://www.naxos.com/series/Canadian_Classics.htm is an easy series to add
22:59:56 [reosarevok]
:)
23:00:29 [reosarevok]
hawke_: it is, but I would call bandcamp more of a shop than a distributor...
23:00:47 [reosarevok]
A shop that lets you get free stuff sometimes is still a shop
23:01:14 [hawke_]
Sure, but I don’t see the distinction. Lots of labels have ways to buy directly from them too.

23:03:17 [reosarevok]
But they also have some involvement
23:03:34 [reosarevok]
Bandcamp does nothing to a specific artist, it just "is"
23:03:43 [reosarevok]
You go, put your stuff there, things happen
23:04:26 [reosarevok]
(I would say Label X distributes Artist X's catalog, but I would say Artist X distributes his catalog on Bandcamp)
23:06:29 [kovacsur]
reosarevok, you're actually right
23:06:59 [kovacsur]
apparently actual online music distributors exist as well
23:08:08 [kovacsur]
probably everyone but me knows this company, but still: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TuneCore
23:08:45 [reosarevok]
kovacsur, Magnatune was the one I was thinking of
23:08:48 [reosarevok]
(seems to fit)
23:09:21 [reosarevok]
http://magnatune.com/info/terms
23:09:47 [kovacsur]
wtf.
23:09:51 [kovacsur]
highway robbery
23:10:31 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok suspects those terms are still better than most labels'
23:10:41 [reosarevok]
They're just public, unlike most labels'
23:12:09 [ijabz]
ijabz has joined #musicbrainz
23:12:19 [hawke_]
Those terms seem pretty reasonable to me.
23:12:44 [hawke_]
Notably “Non-exclusive license” and “you own the rights” are unusually generous for a label
23:13:42 [hawke_]
Also “Transparent bookkeeping” ;-)
23:14:03 [hawke_]
50% of the gross probably as well
23:15:35 [kovacsur]
Yeah, on second read it probably all makes sense in the "music industry" mindset.
23:15:48 [reosarevok]
Yeah
23:16:13 [reosarevok]
After all, music industry is like entering your house, kidnapping your family and asking for ransom
23:16:22 [reosarevok]
"highway robbery" is a pretty mild level
23:16:27 [kovacsur]
heheh
23:19:13 [kovacsur]
their "distribution" service, though, sounds seriously pointless, and they even offer an opt-out option
23:20:57 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok guesses it made sense in the pre-bandcamp world
23:21:00 [reosarevok]
Now, not that much
23:21:45 [hawke_]
?
23:21:59 [hawke_]
Which distribution service is that?
23:22:11 [kovacsur]
"Full digital distribution to all major music services including iTunes: Magnatune can optionally distribute your music to iTunes, eMusic, Amazon and more. If you already have digital distribution in place, you can opt-out of this part of our services. "
23:22:31 [hawke_]
Gotcha
23:23:15 [reosarevok]
kovacsur: I imagine all that is an annoying pita
23:23:39 [reosarevok]
If you don't expect to get basically any money out of it and you just want your disc there, it can make sense
23:23:54 [kovacsur]
but... why would anyone want _that_?
23:23:56 [reosarevok]
And if you expect to make money out of it, you're misguided
23:24:23 [reosarevok]
Hmm, to make our importing it into MB easier?
23:24:27 [kovacsur]
haha
23:24:36 [reosarevok]
Nah
23:24:44 [reosarevok]
I guess for some people having their music in a shop
23:24:48 [reosarevok]
Even if it is a digital one
23:24:52 [reosarevok]
Feels like something
23:24:53 [hawke_]
kovacsur: What’s the problem? I have no idea how much of a pain it is to get your music on iTunes vs. Magnatune…
23:25:08 [hawke_]
If iTunes is a hassle and MT has an agreement with them…
23:25:14 [hawke_]
It could simplify that a bit
23:25:15 [kovacsur]
hawke_, as an independent artist, it could be pretty difficult
23:26:08 [hawke_]
Seems like a reasonable service to provide then
23:27:11 [reosarevok]
Yay!
23:27:17 [reosarevok]
First item on the cleanup ready! :p
23:27:30 [reosarevok]
(yeah, ok, a series with 1 release. still)
23:28:24 [hawke_]
Yay! :-D
23:29:10 [hawke_]
Anyone know if there’s a ticket about merging creating duplicate ARs?
23:29:21 [hawke_]
e.g. composer with no date + composer with a date?
23:29:31 [reosarevok]
Yes
23:29:39 [hawke_]
Good
23:29:45 [reosarevok]
I think I added it at least
23:29:47 [reosarevok]
Let me check
23:29:56 [hawke_]
I knew I saw it talked about, couldn’t remember if there was an actual ticket
23:30:33 [nikki]
there is
23:30:46 [kovacsur]
haha, I was about to say, why check when you can ask nikki?
23:30:59 [nikki]
http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-3669
23:31:48 [hawke_]
Voted.
23:34:37 [kovacsur]
By the way, the userscript idea I needed release no. per label stats for would be to load all releases into memory through the web service, then present it in a sortable table with additional stuff such as media type (which kepstin would have needed)
23:35:32 [reosarevok]
Those things should be in the server code
23:35:50 [reosarevok]
It's not reasonable to be unable to sort
23:36:06 [nikki]
http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-157
23:36:08 [reosarevok]
And it's just silly not to display stuff there
23:36:16 [nikki]
adding columns to the label page would make sense. shouldn't be too hard either
23:36:33 [reosarevok]
(media type at least since that's what it basically differentiates many releases that have same catno
23:36:40 [nikki]
if I can beat this table I'm trying to do now into submission, I might have a look
23:36:44 [reosarevok]
at least when we lack barcodes, that is, often)
