        I removed all the gems and did a simple install of the chef gem. installed cleanly without issues.
      • but chef still locks on startup.
      • ruaok suspects ohai
      • yep, blocks in select. again.

        do we have any stats about how many of the releases with cover art in the caa do not have a front picture?
      • ianmcorvidae
        Mineo: well, count.release.has_caa - count.release.coverart.caa

        the legend on the right makes it look like that's actually the number of releases with coverart from somewhere - the number of releases with any cover art in the caa?
      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, it's poorly labeled for that particular view
      • the count.release.coverart.* are "this release's displayed coverart comes from X source", and count.release.has_caa is releases that have something in the CAA
      • but the latter is just labeled as "releases with cover art"
      • Mineo
        ah, ok
      • Mineo thinks he might have actually report the mislabeling of the latter as a bug :-)
      • but anyway, that's what I was looking for, thanks
      • ianmcorvidae
      • Mineo
        if you disregard all the artwork we displayed before the caa launched, yes :P
      • nikki
      • Mineo
        yes

        Good evening, would someone be able to help me with regards to the web service, I would like to know exactly what I need to query in order to pull the album details and then the track details for a particular artist
      • derwin
        you're in the right place.. what sort of application are you writing?
      • mstnorris
        well, to obtain the data, I don't mind what I use, ultimately I am going to be storing the data in my own database
      • I am building a website where people can come and find new music based on what others' have 'tagged'
      • It is a proof of concept at the moment and I am looking to get a few thousand artists' data. This would take far too long to search manually
      • reosarevok
        mstnorris: have you checked the documentation?
      • mstnorris
        Yes but I find it rather confusing, for starters, for ease of reading it would be nice to see the table names bigger than the example heading etc
      • I have managed to retrieve the ID of an artist, and with that their recordings
      • But I would like to get a list of all albums by an artist, and then a track listing of those albums
