so, I added a release, bbut I'm not sure if this is the right approach

the pack is 2 albums over 3 LPs, and then two CDs are included in the pack which the albums are on too

so, I added each disc, LP and CD alike as individual media

SothoTalKer: IME that's because few people actually look for deletion-worthy items, if a deletion is proposed it often passes

nobody cares enough. :)

Obviously at least one person cared enough to delete the items that started this

Side note: The fact that deletions also delete the edit history on wikidata makes it really hard to tell what was going on with the items before

lionirdeadman: three seems right. Not sure about whether they should all share a release group

Hi, with the closure of freedb, I need to micrate my use of cddb.pl to something more appropriate. Is there a client that will extract CDDB-format, or even just a new server I can point cddb.pl at?

radiomark: not that I know...

We used to have a gateway but got rid a while ago, and I haven't heard of anyone supporting the format nowadays

Lotheric: heh, re https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-11004 - we don't currently have lyrics links for labels at all

MBS-11004: Allow https://laboiteauxparoles.com/ links for labels

The relationship doesn't exist at all - I've never seen a lyrics site browsable by publisher before - pretty cool!

I'll add it :)

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to add album art to an album that is not recognized by picard

eFfeM: yeah, you just drag it to the box and hit save

first, cluster it, then select the level above the cluster and drag

it won't show the replacement image side by side for some reason (not sure if that's a bug) but it does demonstrably work

so it will look like it's not loaded an image for embedding, nonetheless it does do it, I can assure you!

(to clarify, drag it to the box for a cover image as you would if picard did recognise it)

evelyn: hmm doesn't seem to work for me.

With level above cluster do you mean the line with the name of the album (so the level between Clusters and the individual songs)

If I hover the image above it, it gives a + in the icon, but save does not seem to do anything

(oh and of course I dropped when it gave the +)

Here's how I do it (this is a screen recording): https://share.riseup.net/#xrjxv1nkpn1mzeUo0l56pA

eFfeM: ^

evelyn: thanks for the video. I noticed you are on apple, whereas I am on ubuntu, I could change the image for a single track but not for the album.

But then I decided to check the version, I had 1.4.2 coming from ubuntu, then I installed the version from snap and got 2.3.2

and for that it works like a charm, thanks for your help!!!

reosarevok: thanks, a shame there's no gateway for my existing scripts

reosarevok: I ended up using gnudb.org, but I can't be sure this database will have the momentum to be kept up to date. Not that anyone releases many CDs these days :)

eFfeM: cool! glad it works now

radiomark: you could eventually use the MusicBrainz API, but yeah, that does require rewriting stuff

So if some site works in the meantime >(

eh. :)

I didn't know about MusicBrainz, so I will enjoy looking into it one day ... just not now unfortunately.

And all my CD ripping scripts work really well already

eFfeM: Good to hear you have it working. Since you're just upgrading to version 2.3 you might be interested in looking at the User Guide at https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org and particularly the section at https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/usage/co...

The documentation project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/rdswift/picard-docs and we're always looking for suggestions for improvements.
