ruaok pretty sure on that... it worked fine for a bit and then i wanted to change how things are renamed, it crashed while saving and now crashes everytime i try to read tthose files

djce finds voting a lot easier after remembering that "abstain" is a perfectly good choice, for some mods

duncf: That helps a lot.

The crashing while saving probably put both the files and the tagger into an unknown state.
2003-10-01 27401, 2003
ruaok
Can you do me a favor and attempt to narrow down which file(s) it crashes on?
2003-10-01 27415, 2003
ruaok
If you can isolate one file that would be best.
2003-10-01 27457, 2003
djce
Right, that's enough voting. Back to coding.

ruaok: in relation to your suggestion about a new way of doing track searching, it so happens there's an interesting kind of article on perl.com on the subject of searching.

I don't know how much you're into reading articles or understanding search algorithms, but it looked pretty interesting at first glance.
That LJ stuff is interesting. What's the background behind it?
2003-10-01 27434, 2003

I like that article. I will have to take the time to read it in detail.
2003-10-01 27401, 2003

I got really turned on by the Big Flip essay that was referenced in my post.

A world where we can dump the record labels and have the internet do everything they do would be optimal.

Getting bloggers to talk about indie/unsigned music seems like a good way to disseminate music info.
2003-10-01 27410, 2003
ruaok
So I contacted the authors of LJ and asked if they wanted to work with MB.
2003-10-01 27423, 2003
ruaok
And the answer was very positive.
2003-10-01 27443, 2003

Seems less so from the bloggers themselves - mainly the Amazon thing.
2003-10-01 27400, 2003
ruaok
But the feedback wasn't. I've written an updated proposal that Brad is reviewing and once he is happy with that we'll repost and get the music LJ communities to chime in.
2003-10-01 27423, 2003
ruaok
Yes, the Amazon support was the first thing to go.
2003-10-01 27427, 2003

I have to say, the whole world of blogging pretty much passes me by. I suppose I just don't "get it".
2003-10-01 27441, 2003
ruaok
one sec...
2003-10-01 27453, 2003
djce
But if there's an audience willing to use MB, that's almost certainly good.
2003-10-01 27451, 2003
ruaok
I'm back.
2003-10-01 27409, 2003
ruaok
And yes, that audience is a good thing. Especially if we have the amamzon integration.
2003-10-01 27423, 2003
djce
I s'pose there's always opt-in
2003-10-01 27428, 2003
ruaok
I'd like the LJ site to link closely to the MB site and this we would get some traffic and some sales.
2003-10-01 27437, 2003
ruaok
yes.
2003-10-01 27452, 2003
ruaok
Its not dead in the water yet -- we'll have to see.
2003-10-01 27409, 2003
ruaok
But the thing that I liked is that LJ is up to sponsoring a portion of the development.
2003-10-01 27420, 2003
ruaok
And some money in my pocket is a good thing. :-)
2003-10-01 27420, 2003

Interesting, indeed...
2003-10-01 27454, 2003

I'm amazed how well people take our responses in @support.
2003-10-01 27412, 2003
ruaok
People come in all pissed off and just tune it down quickly.
2003-10-01 27416, 2003
djce
I think a lot of them are just amazed and pleased at how quickly we get back to them.
2003-10-01 27423, 2003
ruaok
I suppose a quick response with good answers helps.
2003-10-01 27428, 2003

2003-10-01 27438, 2003

and that we're human, not some ticketed, anonymous, clueless support monkeys.
