TIL : warp likes drunken tiger?
03:46:23 [Lotheric]
How to mass add relationships to a producer for many tracks on one album now ? This isn't like it used to (It used to be easy with checkboxes...)
04:03:49 [Lotheric]
ok found it
04:04:06 [Lotheric]
apparently I need to edit relationships now to add new ones in batch
04:08:53 [derwin]
?
04:09:01 [derwin]
there's a new relationship editor, yeah
04:09:09 [derwin]
as opposed to "inline" relationships?
04:14:35 [Lotheric]
before I went to the release page and used relate <recordings, release> to [artist]
04:14:51 [Lotheric]
found out how to to it, it changed a bit

* kepstin-laptop sees an image he uploaded in ruoak's sf musictech presentation slideshow
04:56:18 [CallerNo6]
I had one too, but since the band was actually at the sfmt, maybe that's how it was chosen.
04:56:32 [kepstin-laptop]
hmm, spotted a second one
04:56:44 [CallerNo6]
* CallerNo6 bows his head in defeat
05:00:07 [kepstin-laptop]
huh, a 3rd :)
05:01:45 [kepstin-laptop]
i didn't even think i'd uploaded enough to get that big of a percentage, but whatever :)
05:01:53 [kepstin-laptop]
* kepstin-laptop should scan some more stuff.
05:03:14 [CallerNo6]
Why isn't there release group art?
05:03:31 [CallerNo6]
I mean, obviously there's no one true cover, but
05:04:13 [CallerNo6]
maybe a slideshow of release covers?
05:05:52 [kepstin-laptop]
there's been some suggestion of allowing a representitive release group image to be uploaded, but nothing planned yet.
05:07:14 [CallerNo6]
one thing at a time, i suppose

The “vote on all edits” and the “ASIN big picture” still work for me (http://musicbrainz.org/release/e0e054d3-0041-4e8a-98de-cde582bcfb7f)
09:47:22 [jesus2099]
Do you have example links ?
09:47:59 [jesus2099]
Oh there is a MBS bug BTW… maybe you’re on a release with ASIN front cover AND CAA back cover, this is MBS bug
09:48:49 [jesus2099]
is it http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-5105 for you _5moufl ?

10:00:32 [jesus2099]
as you’re at it, check that you have the latest versions of those scripts and that there is no remaining old name same same duplicate

les asin marche très bien jesus2099, c'est quand je suis sur le site d'amazon
10:02:19 [_5moufl]
avant j'avais un lien pour ouvrir la grande version de l'image à coté de l'image
10:03:37 [jesus2099]
Ah oui ce truc là… c’est chiant amazon a trouvé (ou sans faire exprès) un truc qui arrive à ne pas exécuter les usrrjs sur certaines pages… ou sous certaines conditions de je ne sais pas quoi… Ils avaient disparuent pour moi aussi mais là je les ai à nouveau…
10:03:47 [jesus2099]
essaies CTRL+R
10:04:01 [jesus2099]
ou F5 enfin le truc qui recharge quoi

10:05:14 [jesus2099]
donne-moi une URL AMZ qui ne marche plus pour voir… ce truc marche pour moi mais j’aimerais bien savoir comment eux (et priceminister) arrievent à bloquer l’exécution des userjs
10:05:42 [_5moufl]
ah ben le "vote on all edits" est revenu :s
10:05:43 [_5moufl]
weird
10:05:47 [jesus2099]
… mais ils n’y arrivent pas sur toutes les pages… ça doit même pas être fait exprès
10:06:02 [jesus2099]
le POWER VOTE, là ?
10:06:04 [_5moufl]
il sert à quoi ton script si y'a déjà ça : http://i.imgur.com/tHrtL.png
10:06:11 [_5moufl]
sans power vote
10:06:54 [_5moufl]
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003TEJTW4/musicbrainz0d-20?v=glance&s=music pas de liens pour la big pic
10:07:02 [jesus2099]
ah ben ça d’accord… je coryais que c’é"iuzoirua power vrote
10:07:38 [jesus2099]
si t’as déjà ça http://i.imgur.com/tHrtL.png je ne sais pas ce que ça donne, parce que je ne l’ai pas justement :)
10:07:39 [_5moufl]
non non, j'ai jamais dit ça
10:07:58 [jesus2099]
mais j’avais oubvlié l’autre power vote
10:08:24 [_5moufl]
le seul problème que j'ai c'est avec le AMZ: Shrink bidule
10:08:31 [jesus2099]
dans ton lien Amazon je vois des liens fullpic sur chaque thumbnail mais pas sur la grosse image, c’est ça ?
10:08:31 [_5moufl]
qui affichai des liens avant et plus maintenant
10:08:44 [_5moufl]
pourtant j'ai toujours les liens qui brille rouge là
10:09:00 [_5moufl]
j'ai aucun lien jesus2099 :/
10:09:15 [jesus2099]
mais seulement sur la grosse image c’est ça ?
10:09:26 [_5moufl]
ben non, aucun aucun
10:09:59 [jesus2099]
ah oui c’est le "blocage" de userjs… t’es dans FF, est-ce que tu vois la liste des userjs exécutés ?
10:10:07 [_5moufl]

hello
11:13:06 [reosarevok]
Hi
11:13:13 [murk]
is something up with the database? about 15% of my albums remain on "albuminformation loading"
11:14:25 [reosarevok]
Hmm
11:15:53 [reosarevok]
The stats look normal to me...
11:16:00 [reosarevok]
(but I'm not an expert)
11:16:12 [reosarevok]
Any experts around?
11:17:25 [luks]
that is normal? :)
11:18:04 [luks]
if an album ends up with "information loading" all the time, it's a bug
11:18:10 [murk]
is this normal? I've never experienced this before.. it happened last night too
11:18:26 [murk]
yea but it's not just one album, more like 30/40
11:19:53 [Freso]
Freso has joined #musicbrainz
11:21:43 [reosarevok]
luks: sure, but the stats look normal
11:21:50 [reosarevok]
So that's why I don't know what's wrong
11:21:50 [reosarevok]
:)
11:22:12 [luks]
I still don't understand
11:22:37 [luks]
do you normally get albums end up in the loading status? as opposed with "could not load album XXX"?
11:22:51 [reosarevok]
* reosarevok looked at the stats dashboard and no server seemed to be doing nothing strange. Except maybe hoser, but I'm not sure what hoser does
11:23:08 [luks]
oh
11:23:20 [reosarevok]
Obviously that's not the expected behaviour
11:23:20 [murk]
no they are all already tagged
11:23:24 [luks]
so 'the stats' != '15% of albums are failing to load'
11:23:28 [reosarevok]
Indeed
11:23:38 [murk]
previous times they would all just load their previously tagged album properly
11:23:40 [luks]
* luks didn't see the connection
11:23:44 [murk]
now they say "loading" and nothing happens :)
11:27:05 [reosarevok]
Weird :/
11:28:01 [reosarevok]
I mean, I've had one or two doing that at some points
11:28:08 [reosarevok]
But certainly not such a big percentage of them
11:28:50 [murk]
i should mention that it is a version i compiled myself, tho i only added another column to the album view..
11:28:58 [murk]
i should try with the official version

murk: WHAT ? you never launched the normal version, the first thing you did was to edit code and compile Picrad ? I guess you are definitely a geek ! ;P
12:32:12 [jesus2099]
Some people say « Hey let’s try this Minesweeper game and see if it’s cool »
12:32:53 [jesus2099]
but murk says « Hey, I want a Minesweeper but with my name in the menu bar. So let’s find a source and compile it with my name and see what happens » :D

g-ram has joined #musicbrainz
13:31:40 [rexroom]
aha
13:31:44 [murk]
and with my modified 1.1 it again skips albums at random which remain "loading" :/ anyone the slightest clue why this could be happening?
13:32:30 [rexroom]
I see Picard 1.1 (or 1.0 for that matter) started to use TSO2 for album artist sort instead of TXXX:ALBUMARTISTSORT
13:32:42 [rexroom]
that explains a couple of things
13:34:12 [luks]
murk: you probably somehow break the callback chain
13:34:25 [luks]
have a look for exceptions/tracebacks somewhere
13:34:36 [luks]
in the log file, or if you are running it on the console
13:34:43 [murk]
ok
13:35:20 [rexroom]
id3.TSO2: "itunesalbumsortorder", <- aha
13:35:22 [murk]
too bad the log doesn't have timestamps :p

murk: the released version doesn't include the coverart code
13:58:25 [luks]
so it's more likely a bug in the git version

15:42:13 [hawke_]
reosarevok: How about the works? “edited by Adriano, 1988”
15:42:29 [reosarevok]
hawke_: dunno. I mean, it *is* but it is presented as much as a classical release as it is a soundtrack (and it certainly isn't put out to promote the film or anything)
15:42:45 [reosarevok]
So I was like "wtf weird give it to hawke_ and fix something else" :P
15:42:49 [hawke_]

15:43:03 [hawke_]

15:43:23 [reosarevok]
Yeah, that was my doubt
15:43:28 [reosarevok]
(well, one of them)
15:43:38 [reosarevok]
Is track artist composer for scores?
15:43:58 [hawke_]
release to composer/performer (“whoever’s on the front”), recordings to performer, tracks as credited…in this case there aren’t really track credits so…
15:45:18 [hawke_]
heh, soundtrack style missed Track credits. Oops.
15:45:46 [hawke_]
Oh, there it is
15:45:55 [hawke_]
the heading style in the wiki is just confusing
15:46:07 [hawke_]
“If the cover lists specific artists for each track, the listed artist should be placed in the Artist Credit field. Otherwise, use the release artist. For releases with no per-track credits, use the composer for each track instead.”
15:46:18 [hawke_]
I think this would fall under “releases with no per-track credits”

what do you guys think about merging recordings from vinyls and recordings from CDs?
18:02:38 [hawke_]
LordSputnik: I don’t like it much.
18:03:28 [LordSputnik]
hawke_: me neither, I voted against it
18:03:30 [CallerNo6]
hawke_: ever? Or in general? I mean, if the two were released simultaneously?
18:03:47 [LordSputnik]
if the two were released together
18:03:50 [LordSputnik]
it makes sense yeah
18:04:06 [hawke_]
Not always…sometimes (often?) the mastering is significantly different
18:04:46 [LordSputnik]
but certainly if a vinyl from 1964 and a CD from 1990 had separate recordings, you would agree they should stay separate?
18:04:48 [hawke_]
CallerNo6: In general. The problem is twofold: the mastering is technically always different, and often it’s significantly different
18:05:56 [hawke_]
And second, if the you have multiple remasters based on the same disc (this applies mostly to stuff cut direct to disc, i.e. pre-1940s or so), you can’t say they’re the “same” in any useful sense.
18:06:29 [hawke_]
Which is not to say I haven’t done it anyway, especially when it was less clear what a recording is.
18:06:44 [CallerNo6]
hm. It's clear?
18:06:56 [CallerNo6]
* CallerNo6 kids
18:07:40 [hawke_]
It’s more clear than it was a year ago. :-)
18:08:55 [hawke_]
Anyway, a lot of remasters from discs from back in the 30s will come from different discs, in different conditions and played on different equipment, giving a different sound
18:09:00 [hawke_]
meaning they shouldn’t be merged.
18:09:24 [CallerNo6]
yeah, that makes sense of course.
18:09:32 [LordSputnik]
someone should make that a guideline
18:10:39 [hawke_]
We do, I think.
18:11:02 [hawke_]
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Recording
18:11:11 [hawke_]
“different edits, mixes, remixes or remasters of a performance.”
18:11:24 [hawke_]
(shouldn’t be merged)
18:12:00 [LordSputnik]
oh i know it says that
18:12:12 [LordSputnik]
but it doesnt explicitly say anything about different mediums
18:12:43 [CallerNo6]
and it can't quantify "different"
18:13:10 [LordSputnik]
so that line is sort of open to interpretation, as "remaster" could be taken to mean only an "upgrade" of the audio, and not a transfer from one format to the other
18:13:10 [hawke_]
CallerNo6: well, I think digital is by definition a different master from analog.
18:13:15 [hawke_]
if I understand correctly.
18:13:37 [CallerNo6]
I guess.
18:13:59 [LordSputnik]
hawke_: That's exactly the sort of line that should be in there: "Digital is by definition a different master from analog."
18:16:08 [hawke_]
LordSputnik: Someone should make a proposal to change that guideline then. I nominate you. ;-)

LordSputnik: If a digital recording is released on analog media (e.g. vinyl) then is that 2 separate recordings?
18:17:02 [intgr]
Or do you only suggest the other way around
18:17:03 [hawke_]
intgr: You can’t release a digital recording on analog media
18:17:27 [hawke_]
Well, unless you count a wav dumped to tape, a la commodore 64
18:17:47 [hawke_]
i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Datasette
18:17:58 [intgr]
Erm, why not? I can attach a cassette tape recorder to my computer's line out and record away.
18:18:03 [intgr]
Am I creating a new recording in the process?
18:18:06 [hawke_]
intgr: Yes.
18:18:17 [hawke_]
That’s an analog recording not a digital recording
18:18:37 [intgr]
That makes no sense if you ask me.
18:18:47 [intgr]
By that logic, every analog copy in the world should be a separate recording
18:19:03 [intgr]
Ditto re-encodes of digital releases
18:19:29 [hawke_]
intgr: There’s something to be said for that.
18:19:31 [LordSputnik]
intgr: no, because the recording should refer to the original master
18:19:38 [hawke_]
It all comes down to “how different is different”
18:20:19 [intgr]
Well I imagine that modern artists only create 1 digital master and then release that as CD & vinyl.
18:20:35 [LordSputnik]
intgr: that may be a place where they should be the same recording
18:20:41 [hawke_]
I imagine that modern artists vary in their process.
18:20:46 [CallerNo6]
I know some people think a "session/performance" container would just complicate things further, but would it?
18:21:03 [hawke_]
CallerNo6: It would complicate things, but it would definitely be good.
18:22:03 [CallerNo6]
I mean, for those of us who aren't interested in tracking slight differences between masters, I'd much rather just put all the recordings in one "container" and forget they exist.
18:22:27 [CallerNo6]
(most of the time)
18:22:42 [hawke_]
CallerNo6: I’d call it a “recording group” but otherwise, yes.
18:23:10 [LordSputnik]
Are there any ways I don't know of to get an acoustid from a vinyl? The only way to me seems to be to record the analogue back into digital then submit, right?
18:23:12 [CallerNo6]
right

because any audio in MB can NEVER be the same

“any audio in MB can NEVER be the same”?
18:24:16 [LordSputnik]
...
18:24:17 [intgr]
The consequences will never be the same!
18:24:23 [LordSputnik]
clarification needed :P
18:24:58 [LordSputnik]
What I mean is, if anyone makes an AcoustID for a vinyl burnt onto a PC
18:25:10 [LordSputnik]
it will never match the original, digital audio source
18:25:29 [LordSputnik]
in fact, making an acoustid for a vinyl is sort of pointless
18:25:31 [hawke_]
LordSputnik: actually the acoustID will likely be the same.
18:25:32 [intgr]
LordSputnik: AcoustID is designed to accommodate slight variations between different tracks (re-encodings, volume differences, etc)
18:25:41 [hawke_]
acoustID can handle it well enough
18:25:43 [intgr]
erm, different versions of same track
18:25:47 [LordSputnik]
oh ok
18:25:52 [hawke_]
but at a lower level, the raw PCm will end up being different
18:26:06 [LordSputnik]
mmm
18:26:18 [LordSputnik]
ok, ignore my bold "NEVER be the same" statement then :P
18:26:26 [hawke_]
I’ve actually done it, comparing a CD to a vinyl rip
18:26:44 [hawke_]
The only difference was because whoever recorded the vinyl rip left the entire lead-out in.
18:26:48 [hawke_]
so the last track was much longer
18:26:56 [hawke_]
the only difference from an AcoustID standpoint, that is.
18:28:00 [LordSputnik]
We should probably have a recording for each different audio source that was used to make all the mediums containing the track. eg. an analogue master tape should have it's own release, to which all of the original vinyl recordings should belong. Any later CD pressings or masters would have to convert this tape to a new digital source, so they get a different recording
18:28:25 [LordSputnik]
if a modern artist releases a vinyl and a cd, then they should probably share a recording, because they probably were mastered in digital, and share the same source
18:28:51 [LordSputnik]
unless it can be proved that they recorded the whole thing in analogue and then converted it to digital for the cd release
18:28:54 [LordSputnik]
:P
18:29:15 [intgr]
Agreed
18:30:03 [hawke_]
+1, if you can get that into a form that is workable as a guideline.
18:30:13 [hawke_]
Hmm
18:30:19 [LordSputnik]

ianmcorvidae-at- has joined #musicbrainz

18:36:30 [LordSputnik]

I think we're getting too technical about the audio though
18:36:43 [intgr]
God damn stone age technology :)
18:37:08 [LordSputnik]
I think, we should ignore the differences bought about by cutting onto vinyl
18:37:26 [LordSputnik]
because otherwise we should have a separate recording for every single vinyl pressing in MB, surely?
18:38:08 [LordSputnik]
which would be a massive load of work
18:38:10 [intgr]
Agreed, it sounds more like an encoding issue to me. The waveform comes out different, but the artist indended it to be the same. Though I guess it conflicts with the definition of "master"

18:45:38 [LordSputnik]

18:46:01 [intgr]
I'd say the vinyl mastering details are much like the encoding process for digitla media. If the artist releases 320k and 48k MP3s, they will end up sounding different, but that's only due to technical limitations.

18:49:59 [hawke_]
If you can say “this one is louder (hotter)” or “this one turned up the drums at this point” then they should be different recordings.

I think a 10s difference is ok, if the only difference is in the ending or beginning
18:56:35 [LordSputnik]
for example, some applause was cut from the end of a live track
18:56:41 [kovacsur]
it would be useful to group them together on an other abstraction layer, but they're not the "same audio data"
18:56:42 [LordSputnik]
*if some
18:56:47 [ruaok]
ruaok has joined #musicbrainz
18:57:23 [LordSputnik]
well, multiple AcoustIDs can be attached to a single recording, so that covers the "same audio data" aspect
18:57:25 [intgr]
But I think introducing a "recording groups" level of indirection would only make people even more confused and less likely to get things right (or to even bother).
18:57:54 [LordSputnik]
hawke_: do you know if acoustIDs will be different if a track is 10s shorter?
18:58:06 [hawke_]
LordSputnik: 7 seconds
18:58:22 [LordSputnik]
ok
18:58:40 [hawke_]
ISRC is in theory a max 10s difference
18:58:48 [luks]
which is just an arbitrary number and shouldn;t be used in any argument :)

I'm still looking to changing that
18:59:18 [hawke_]
yes; acoustIDs themselves are not 100% perfect. They’re evidence for similarity but not a guarantee

19:00:28 [fissl]
this is the best i can provide with this camera ^^
19:00:29 [LordSputnik]
I do think that if an audio sample has been cut at either end, and isn't different enough in track length to change the AcoustID, it should be the same recording
19:01:12 [LordSputnik]
fissl: they look very good for camera pictures!
19:01:43 [fissl]
I did some photoshop actually
19:02:14 [LordSputnik]
if the audio sample is a different AcoustID, but the audio that's actually present is the same as the audio in other tracks in the recording, then it should still be the same recording

19:03:03 [fissl]
I did haha
19:03:22 [LordSputnik]
eg. if a track was split in half, and half of it was put on a CD, then perhaps the recording should still be the same?
19:03:54 [intgr]
fissl: UFRaw makes it pretty painless.
19:03:54 [LordSputnik]
the audio that is still there is the same, and it has a separate AcoustID to show that it's different
19:04:02 [intgr]
If your camera can take raw format images
19:04:05 [fissl]
should i also upload the raw photos?
19:04:11 [intgr]
You can't
19:04:17 [intgr]
Oh you mean jpegs?
19:04:23 [fissl]
yes
19:04:51 [fissl]
but without any image manipulation
19:05:10 [intgr]
Why didn't you take a color image to begin with?
19:05:58 [fissl]
I did but everything in this room at this time taken with this cam is yellow
19:06:44 [intgr]
Ah ok, needs white balance correction too then.

jesus2099: Ah, I need to edit the script for that?
19:15:57 [fissl]
is there a way to list all available artwork by artist?
19:16:21 [jesus2099]
hawke: there is a settings section in it... maybe it's not really good for you... ?
19:16:32 [kovacsur]
fissl, you could search for edits of type "add cover art" for that artist
19:16:38 [jesus2099]
I should have let it as is ?
19:17:24 [hawke_]
jesus2099: I prefer the old way, but I’m hardly the only user
19:17:38 [jesus2099]
the settings even allows funky people to disyaply only %recording-name% instead of %track-name% but I prefer the track name myself
19:18:26 [jesus2099]
it is hard for me to know what people prefer so I put a setting... my wish is to have this setting as a text input in the sidebar maybe... (._.?)
19:19:25 [hawke_]

20:07:38 [Freso]
fissl: There's no such thing as JPEG without compression. Even JPEG at quality 100 is lossily compressed.
20:08:12 [fissl]
:(
20:13:17 [Freso]
fissl: Yeah. :/ I usually go for JPEG 90. It's usually about half the size of JEPG 100, and the quality loss is neglible (sp?) - I often have to squint real hard to spot any differences, and even then, I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things.:p
20:14:25 [Freso]
fissl: However, things are slowly moving towards accepting other/more content types at the CAA, so hopefully we'll be able to upload lossless PNGs in the not-way-too-distant future.
20:18:34 [fissl]
btw when mutiple releases share the same artwork, is it possible to share it between the releases?
20:18:58 [Freso]
No.
20:19:17 [Freso]
The idea has been tossed around, but it does't have any widespread support.
20:19:55 [Freso]
Since even two seemingly identical images may have small/minor differences that tie them to the specific release.

is there a gap?
20:52:51 [kovacsur]
yep
20:52:52 [LordSputnik]
ah ok
20:53:06 [LordSputnik]
so the edit expires, then modbot checks dependencies?

Yep.

20:55:19 [Freso]
LordSputnik: Modbot is started every full hour and runs until it's checked everything that needs checking.
20:55:37 [LordSputnik]
right ok
20:55:46 [LordSputnik]
So they won't be applied until after 10pm then

I am confused by the difference between a Release title and a Medium title. In a 5 CD set each Medium is labeled CD one, two three, four five but of course the overall title is Whatever.

22:56:49 [Freso]
najevi: If there is no specific title per CD, then just leave that field blank.
22:56:55 [najevi]
So when entering the tracklist for each Medium should I have netered a Medium Title such as "CD one" or the overall Release title "Whatever"
22:57:01 [Freso]
"Disc 1" or "CD 1" is not a medium specific title.
22:57:02 [najevi]
ah OK
22:57:14 [Freso]
:)
22:57:45 [najevi]
So having alreadyt entered "CD one" etc. and having assigned disc ID I do not seem to be able to go back and delete those individual Medium titles.
22:58:21 [najevi]
If I goi back and remove the disc ID for each of the five CD's then can I subsequently delete the individual medium titles?
22:59:03 [najevi]
The problem is that the Sound Juicer application is pulling in the Medium title as the title for each CD rather than the overall Release title
23:03:37 [hawke_]
najevi: That’s exactly what it is. What’s the problem?
23:03:49 [hawke_]
What’s the release?
23:04:08 [hawke_]
Oh, you entered "CD one" as medium titles. Just go back and hit edit and delete the medium titles
23:05:23 [najevi]
hawke: yes i did try to edit (delete) the Medium titles but that failed to "take". I have just now tried to remove the disc ID but that also fails to be accepted. Maybe because I am a new editor.
23:05:53 [najevi]
the release is http://musicbrainz.org/release/ff3c3a0c-be19-4d83-8b52-af52e10581c3/discids
23:06:27 [hawke_]

Different subject: Rod Stewart - Storyteller 4 CD set : it seems that disc 2 shows one more track than I see on my disc 2. Some other user responded to this issue by creating a separate release for just this disc 2. Is it common for the same CD set to have different track counts in different geographical markets?
23:22:23 [najevi]
http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/3dafc059-41aa-396b-9b45-14808a344e31

I think it's uncommon
23:23:28 [derwin]
more common is the single-medium-gets-a-bonus-track
23:23:31 [CallerNo6]
Actually, I've seen it a lot in Castle/Sanctuary compilations.
23:23:44 [derwin]
CallerNo6: is it licensing triggered, or?
23:24:05 [CallerNo6]
I don't know. I always assumed so. Lemme see if I can dredge up an example from memory.
23:24:48 [najevi]
If I understand the definition of a Release then (in tis case) the Austrlian Release should be a separate MB entry from the USA release of the same title. Is this correct?
23:25:34 [hawke_]
Correct.
23:26:11 [derwin]
yes, and both releases should have 4 mediums
23:26:44 [hawke_]
But note that before NGS (about a year and a half ago), we didn't have multi-disc releases.
23:26:47 [najevi]
OK then for me to most easily create the Australian release from the USA release can I use the CD stub import method for the track lists and just tweak the entry for disc 2 that appears to be different
23:26:55 [hawke_]
So the standalone disc 2 could be an artifact from that
23:27:19 [hawke_]
You can actually add mediums to the AU release via 'add disc'
23:27:41 [najevi]
Doh, of course! Must get that cup of coffee!
23:28:10 [hawke_]
tracklist tab, 'add disc', 'existing tracklist'
23:28:25 [hawke_]
then pull the other discs from the US release (if you’re sure they’re the same)
23:28:28 [najevi]
will give that ago after I properly wake up!
23:28:46 [najevi]
yes they appear to be the same right down to the durations
23:29:37 [najevi]
Oh which brings nme to ask: what exactly is the point of the Recordings tab of the whole edit process? Just a apointer to the manual will do for now
23:30:14 [hawke_]
Different releases can share recordings
23:30:23 [hawke_]
That tab lets you choose an existing recording
23:32:07 [najevi]
It isn't clear to me what the "recording" is. I mean MB could not possibly store audio recordings ... or does it?
23:32:31 [hawke_]
the recording is an entity that describes an audio recording

23:35:30 [najevi]
ok - yes I do remember reading about audio "fingerprints" ... I also remember reading that PUIDs are phasing out in favor of something that is generated by open source software.

So is the idea of a fingerprint to allow a user to match their individual song MP# file or whatever to one or more albuims in the MB data base for the purpose of extracting a suitable set of metadata with which to tag that mp3 file?
23:37:51 [CallerNo6]
