r_dunn: instead of waiting for someone, you should just ask your question. A lot of people here generally know about the developments going on in the project and they might help.

A recommender system.
2017-01-22 02252, 2017
Leo_Verto
well, you could definitely build that on top of ListenBrainz
2017-01-22 02205, 2017
Leo_Verto
AcousticBrainz might also be relevant if you really want to dive into data
2017-01-22 02209, 2017
r_dunn
Well, I'm a little confused from the documentation I can see about how exactly it works, is it just for Last.fm listen histories?
2017-01-22 02255, 2017
Leo_Verto
ListenBrainz is a pretty young project, it's kind of an open listen history storage system
2017-01-22 02215, 2017
Clint
it's a better submission API then audioscrobbler/last.fm

I think so far it only allows last.fm imports though, doesn't it?
2017-01-22 02250, 2017
r_dunn
So you can add your own listening history via the API?
2017-01-22 02220, 2017
Clint
afaik nobody's written a non-importer client yet, but i haven't paid attention in a long time

Leo_Verto: LB now supports submitting via API similar to last.fm's API, though it is not yet deployed.
2017-01-22 02238, 2017
Leo_Verto
ah
2017-01-22 02207, 2017
r_dunn
Leo_Verto: I don't think AcusticBrainz is relevant for my needs, maybe with some neural networks you could build a reccomender system, I'm only interested in collaborative filtering.
thanks for reminding me, I still have to read that

and i'm browsing through his forums & its super cute, people encouraging him to release more chapters of the martian etc.
2017-01-22 02256, 2017

you can find some really amazing authors online
2017-01-22 02222, 2017

another one of my favourites is James Erwin aka. Prufrock451

quick question wrt to bookbrainz, how do i into aliases?
2017-01-22 02205, 2017
quarternote
e.g. andy weir used Jack Sharp sometimes.
2017-01-22 02228, 2017
quarternote
so jack sharp, sort name Weir, Andy ?
2017-01-22 02246, 2017
quarternote
and what's "primary" about?
2017-01-22 02224, 2017
SothoTalKer
you can add aliases to an existing author, i suppose ^^
2017-01-22 02257, 2017
quarternote
he doesn't exist yet though
2017-01-22 02207, 2017
quarternote
so i'm adding from scratch and not sure what that checkbox is for
2017-01-22 02251, 2017
quarternote
i'll leave it unchecked i guess
2017-01-22 02245, 2017
SothoTalKer
likely
2017-01-22 02232, 2017

OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) and LCCN (Library of Congress Control Number) - are those things that might be added to bookbrainz, in due time?
2017-01-22 02238, 2017
quarternote
and what's the dif. between publication / work?
2017-01-22 02257, 2017
SothoTalKer
a work can have many publications
2017-01-22 02218, 2017

quarternote: "primary" indicates that the alias is one by which the author is mostly known in a particular language. I'd put his real name as the default primary alias in English, and then the pen name as a non-primary alias in English, like you've done
2017-01-22 02213, 2017

great, thanks

SothoTalKer: quarternote: a work is the same as an MB work, and a publication is equivalent to an MB release group
2017-01-22 02238, 2017
quarternote
gotcha.
2017-01-22 02205, 2017
LordSputnik
So editions contain one or more works, and editions which contain a similar set of works with a similar name usually end up in the same publications (soon to be renamed to edition group)

figured i'd ask this here since i'm new around here: has there been discussion of buy/stream here on bookbrainz like you have on mb?
2017-01-22 02212, 2017
LordSputnik
quarternote: haha it can't - that's simply because our language list is the same as MusicBrainz's (although how can a CD be in hungarian sign language?)
2017-01-22 02220, 2017

lol
2017-01-22 02235, 2017

Links to places to buy?
2017-01-22 02214, 2017
quarternote
yeah
2017-01-22 02222, 2017
quarternote
e.g. audible, amazon, etc
2017-01-22 02242, 2017
LordSputnik
Hmm, we do already have amazon IDs, I guess we'd want to make them into proper links and then keep adding more services
2017-01-22 02235, 2017

more documentation would be nice. ;-)

currently struggling through putting in 10 languages for the martian so i second that too :P

Until it's no longer marked as "Alpha" - then as we want more people to start using it, we'll start building up the user documentation
