any mediums you add to an existing release should be immediately visible, so Picard will see them
eharris
That would mostly work if I had an easy way to pull the tags from one cluster of my collection as that textual representation I could just paste into the track parser
but I don't know of a way to do that
(from a "cluster" in Picard I mean)
bitmap
my suggestion was to use the add-cluster-as-a-release plugin to submit the cluster as normal, then copy it from there
you wouldn't actually be submitting another release, just copying the tracklist from the website and pasting it into the release you added for disc 1
a plugin to create a text version of the tracklist directly in Picard would be nice, I'm not sure if one exists
wait, that's already builtin. I totally forgot that was added
right-click the cluster -> Info
eharris
Oh, I think I see what you mean. Use the plugin but don't submit it. Then copy it over into a new one added to the existing release. That could work
bitmap
yeah
eharris
Does the text representation contain everything that gets entered by the plugin?
bitmap
though if your version of Picard is recent enough, it should show you the text version of the cluster already in "Info"
eharris
Next time I hit a multidisc set that isn't in the db, I'll definitely try that
bitmap
and no, it only contains the track number, title, artist, and duration
eharris
I'm using version 1.2
hmm, looks like I am quite out of date.
1.3.2 seems to be current
bitmap
I suppose as far as discs are concerned, "number, title, artist, and duration" is all the plugin submits anyway.
Ok, I upgraded to 1.3.2. Checking now to see if any config stuff needs to be changed before I test it on a few albums.
Speaking of your last comment, is there an easy way to update durations of a whole album? Every once in a while I come across one that has no durations and want to update it but I couldn't find an easy way to do that from picard, at least on my old version. I guess I should check if the new one has something for that first.

Maybe there's something better, but for some definitions of easy: you can do similar as to the multiple disc thing
Import cluster, copy the tracklist from the track parser, paste it on the existing release, and make sure to select only "use track times" or whatever it says exactly (but no titles, artists)
eharris
Hmm, I didn't think you could easily edit multiple tracks, just enter new ones, but maybe it works. Will try and see
bitmap
yeah, that's what I was thinking

eharris: I think you could use beets mudic organiser to solve some of your problems. If you set it up in the right way, it can automatically update thr tags for any Picard-tagged music on a regular basis
Then you don't have to remember to come back to it later

I tried changing my email on the wiki, but it responded with "Unknown error in PHP's mail() function."

it shows the new email in my preferences, but says it's not confirmed (and I can't confirm it)
so it doesn't work for anything

Servers will be arriving soon! This brings a pressing question: what server names will we use?
drsaunders
still cartoons?
ruaok
Band names.
Db server will be: Bowie.
drsaunders nominates Sloan
We need a pair of gay/lesbian performers. We had Carl/Lenny and Ernie/Bert. (For the gateways)
drsaunders: add it to the server name wiki page in a new section.
Freso|laptop
Eminem/Elton
>_>
drsaunders
Cake/Invoice
Leo_Verto
Mercury/Bieber?
ruaok
They need to be a pair, just like Carl/Lenny and Ernie/Bert.
Bieber, lol. :+)
Lotheric
Hall and Oates :p
Freso|laptop
Cake/Invoice is a pair? I'm not sure how Mercury/Bieber are related, but Eminem/Elton performed together at one point, after which Eminem said he wouldn't have done so if he'd known Elton was gay.

LordSputnik
Bowie and Freddie could go together since they did Under Pressure. But Bowie wasn't really gay
Simon & Garfunkel goes well but again, not gay
rahulr has quit
drsaunders
and travolta/newton-john would only be half
Leo_Verto
I agree, Simon/Garfunkel should be a thing
ruaok
Zas: you name the px61. :-)
LordSputnik
drsaunders: neither of them seem to be :P
We should name one of them Kroeger to show we have a sense of humour
