Learning that remasters are no longer seperate has made my adding a "original studio master" disamiguation to 20 discs of recordings a wasted effort - could have done it by recording date like when I started last year until someone complained about remasters and I changed course
00:45:12 [Cook879]
Ahhh well, I'm on holiday for a week - I'll consider my approach then - to be honest that's the easy part - matching recordings is the main/hard bit

Soundcloud isn't a built in advrel type?
03:10:50 [VxJasonxV]
also I mean URL rel
03:10:52 [VxJasonxV]
not adv rel
03:20:01 [JesseW]
I think it is...
03:22:35 [JesseW]
see http://musicbrainz.org/artist/bd959a9e-cfad-4f6f-a360-667dba441dae for example

03:49:45 [VxJasonxV]
haiii
03:50:11 [VxJasonxV]
I'm talking about release level URL ars
03:50:17 [VxJasonxV]
and it looks like it might just be a bug in the new release form
03:50:24 [VxJasonxV]
and not the add url form for a release
03:50:29 [VxJasonxV]
but, thanks for checking anyway

VxJasonxV: so what exactly did you observe? I'm glad to test it on my end. And have you opened a ticket for it?
04:42:57 [VxJasonxV]
pasting a URL into the relevant field on the add release page does not match a type automatically like adding a URL to a release after fact does.
04:43:02 [VxJasonxV]
I'm bad at tickets
04:43:23 [JesseW]
No worries -- I'll open one, then (once I've verified it).
04:43:45 [JesseW]
VxJasonxV: is this on beta or release?
04:43:50 [VxJasonxV]
release
04:43:52 [VxJasonxV]
I should start using beta
04:44:03 [JesseW]
yeah, check it on beta
04:44:41 [JesseW]
what's an example of a URL that you've tried?
04:44:56 [JesseW]
Is it one like this: https://soundcloud.com/timgriffinmusic/sets/insult-to-injury
04:45:04 [VxJasonxV]
exactly
04:45:07 [VxJasonxV]
errr, no
04:45:09 [VxJasonxV]
sorry, not a set
04:45:11 [VxJasonxV]
one sec
04:45:18 [JesseW]
no prob. ;-)
04:45:21 [VxJasonxV]
http://soundcloud.com/nobodyhardcore/ganar-nobody-never-let-you-go-free is one I added tonight
04:46:17 [JesseW]
That doesn't come up automatically for me even when editing a release...
04:46:40 [JesseW]
and there is no SoundCloud URL-Release AR...
04:46:50 [JesseW]
do you mean a recording, not a release?
04:47:24 [JesseW]
No, there's no URL-Recording AR, either.
04:47:42 [VxJasonxV]
hum
04:47:48 [JesseW]
I think we only support SoundCloud URL-Artist ARs, currently.
04:47:57 [VxJasonxV]
indeed
04:48:04 [VxJasonxV]
so then it was either beatport or youtube
04:48:05 [JesseW]
You'll need to send in a proposal to add the other ones.
04:48:17 [JesseW]
Examples?
04:48:26 [VxJasonxV]
I'm testing for myself
04:48:34 [JesseW]
thanks!
04:48:56 [VxJasonxV]
not youtube...
04:49:03 [VxJasonxV]
it doesn't work automatically for either
04:49:05 [JesseW]
here's the soundcloud Artist-URL AR: http://musicbrainz.org/relationship/89e4a949-0976-440d-bda1-5f772c1e5710
04:49:16 [VxJasonxV]
I'm talking release-URL ARs
04:49:24 [VxJasonxV]
because you can't add an artist-URL AR from the release editor
04:49:37 [JesseW]
Release or recording?
04:49:42 [VxJasonxV]
release
04:50:07 [VxJasonxV]
UGH I was testing with an RG rather than a release
04:50:09 [VxJasonxV]
sdfgjklhaldfsg
04:50:16 [JesseW]
The link you gave is to a recording, though, not a release, I think... Aren't releases sets on Soundcloud?
04:50:31 [VxJasonxV]
oh, that's what you're asking
04:50:34 [VxJasonxV]
so
04:50:38 [VxJasonxV]
I add a lot of one-offs
04:50:48 [VxJasonxV]
more niche artists that just release a song every once in a while
04:50:55 [VxJasonxV]
I add them as a single in MBz, and link to the single track page on SC
04:51:18 [JesseW]
Why do you add them as singles, rather than standalone recordings?
04:51:46 [VxJasonxV]
last I knew, dealing with standalone recordings were pretty impossible to deal with in Picard
04:51:48 [JesseW]
I mainly do filk & celtic music, which also has a lot of very obscure artists.
04:51:56 [JesseW]
Ah, that makes sense.
04:52:00 [VxJasonxV]
maybe
04:52:07 [VxJasonxV]
admittedly this is something that I haven't revisited in a very long time
04:52:15 [VxJasonxV]
one of those things where the rules evolved pre-NGS, post-NGS, and even later
04:52:30 [JesseW]
But that does explain why you are linking single recordings to releases, yep.
04:53:33 [JesseW]
And is the AR you are thinking of http://musicbrainz.org/relationship/9896ecd0-6d29-482d-a21e-bd5d1b5e3425 "download for free" or http://musicbrainz.org/relationship/08445ccf-7b99-4438-9f9a-fb9ac18099ee "streaming music"?
04:53:52 [VxJasonxV]
depends
04:54:10 [JesseW]
? There is no specific SoundCloud one for Releases...
04:54:11 [VxJasonxV]
of course, SC's limited download numbers makes it hard. I usually add SC links as "Download for free" if the buttons there
04:54:18 [VxJasonxV]
but it will stop working after so many downloads
04:54:21 [JesseW]
makes sense
04:54:26 [VxJasonxV]
and afterwards it becomes "stream for free"
04:55:06 [JesseW]
but that's what should pop up automatically, and it doesn't, right?
04:55:18 [VxJasonxV]
I didn't pay attention to the type
04:55:25 [VxJasonxV]
just whether or not some type automatically selected
04:55:26 [JesseW]
well, that would be one reason -- how could it automatically determine which AR to pick.
04:55:28 [VxJasonxV]
as that was my chief complaint
04:55:39 [JesseW]
since both download and stream might be appropriate
04:56:39 [VxJasonxV]
stream for free is always the case in SC
04:56:42 [VxJasonxV]
download is not
04:57:03 [VxJasonxV]
since downloads are limited, personally I would be fine with SC links always automatically picking the 'can be streamed for free' type
04:57:48 [JesseW]
that makes sense. I would also support that
04:58:15 [JesseW]
have you verified whether it fails in both editing and adding a new release?
04:58:23 [JesseW]
on release and beta?
04:58:28 [VxJasonxV]
it does on release
04:58:40 [VxJasonxV]
it does on beta
05:00:10 [JesseW]
for both editing and adding?
05:01:02 [VxJasonxV]
yeah
05:02:10 [JesseW]
hm. so the original issue (of a difference between editing and adding) you noticed isn't reproducible. But I'll see about adding a request for Soundcloud recording links to default to "streaming music"
05:02:19 [VxJasonxV]
yeah
05:02:27 [VxJasonxV]
I unfortunately have a very bad habit of doing that
05:02:42 [VxJasonxV]
speeding through multiple releases I'm entering, and confusing details of little nagging bits along the way
05:02:46 [JesseW]
no worries.
05:02:53 [VxJasonxV]
and revisiting it, I come up with a reasonable reason

Yeah, it's been over zero for a while
10:47:45 [reosarevok]
Of course that mean the rain is here :p
10:47:54 [CatQuest]
reosarevok: can you do your magic "copy the url to the import" thing on http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/11239be1-b09a-4b6c-815b-04839bc795a9 ?

10:48:33 [reosarevok]
CatQuest: if you specify the URL, yes :)
10:48:46 [CatQuest]
i linked earlier the two covers
10:49:34 [reosarevok]
And which one you want in the end? The second? :)
10:49:42 [CatQuest]
you get to pick sice I don't know :D
10:49:49 [CatQuest]
(i like the first ot be honest)
10:49:53 [CatQuest]
but i dunno
10:50:35 [reosarevok]
Huh
10:50:41 [reosarevok]
They're actually slightly different
10:50:45 [CatQuest]
:o
10:51:00 [reosarevok]
(SLADEN in one ends closer to the end of the bluish line than on the other)
10:51:29 [reosarevok]
So I'll go for the Amazon one, but the one linked from our sidebar which is very slightly larger :)
10:52:01 [CatQuest]
oh yay
10:52:03 [CatQuest]
yea

how can I link a release group to http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_and_the_Pescatons
11:37:06 [yeeeargh]
hiho, i need your help with a release i bought recently. i'm unsure if i should add it as a new release or if this release already exists on musicbrainz
11:37:15 [yeeeargh]
it's this one: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0000CAXID?tag=musicbrainz0d-20 which looks like this one on a first glance http://musicbrainz.org/release/7aa23f60-a157-3745-a75a-99df9ce125e1
11:37:28 [yeeeargh]
but there are some tiny tiny differences, so i'm not sure. (also the discogs/amazon relationships on the mb release are both from the US release. but i don't know if it differes from the eu one)
11:37:37 [yeeeargh]
one thing: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YIhRYS1xL.jpg if you look at the bottom it says "made in the eu". i don't know, if that is valid for the us release too.
11:37:45 [yeeeargh]
the other thing is, that the release i have doesn't have the "BMG" logo, but one from "Sony Music" on the same place. it's this logo http://www.discogs.com/label/25487-Sony-Music just in black/white. and discogs mentions "Please note that the logo was different before 2005." i don't know how that logo looked back then, but that might indicate that this release was made after 2005 while the releasedate on musi
11:37:45 [yeeeargh]
cbrainz/discogs/amazon is in 2003.
11:46:02 [reosarevok]
Different logos, different releases
11:46:32 [reosarevok]
(and different release labels, I imagine?)
11:46:48 [reosarevok]
Hmm, ok, no, label is probably RCA
11:46:56 [reosarevok]
Or Roswell
11:47:03 [reosarevok]
But anyway, still different releases :)
11:47:11 [yeeeargh]
if these are the logos … i think it's only RCA
11:47:18 [yeeeargh]
at least the cat# suggests this
11:47:38 [yeeeargh]
"RCA 82blablabla"
11:48:37 [yeeeargh]
do you have any advice how i could find the actual release date of this on?
11:50:12 [reosarevok]
Not really :(
11:50:17 [reosarevok]
Just leave it blank, if unsure
11:50:30 [yeeeargh]
couldn't find anything on the release itself. the only indicator i was able to find there was the company who manufactured the cd. there's a logo of "Arvato Digital Services" on it. lloking at the wikipedia entry of this company says that they changed to this name sometime in 2008

well, it's listed as "showers", not "rain", so it'll be intermittent.
