        hello from Argentina
      • 2004-04-23 11408, 2004

      • ruaok
        hi!
      • 2004-04-23 11415, 2004

      • ruaok
        greetings from California!
      • 2004-04-23 11435, 2004

      • euskir
        I know the place, nice....

        I've never been to .ar :-(
      • 2004-04-23 11446, 2004

      • euskir
        we have a lot of places quite "Californian"...
      • 2004-04-23 11422, 2004

      • euskir
        that's why we have such god wines :D
      • 2004-04-23 11435, 2004

      • euskir
        good I mean...Sorry God
      • 2004-04-23 11449, 2004

      • ruaok
        heh. I prefer .ar wines over .ca wines any day.
      • 2004-04-23 11438, 2004

      • euskir
        yes Gallo it's just begining... 9.9
      • 2004-04-23 11413, 2004

      • ruaok
        As in E&J Gallo? That's not wine.
      • 2004-04-23 11425, 2004

      • euskir
        well, Iwas trying to be friendly... I didn't know you were a wine expert
      • 2004-04-23 11413, 2004

      • ruaok
        I wouldn't call myself and expert, but around here its hard to avoid. :-)

        I know it's like the people here living in Mendoza or San Juan states (provinces here)

      • yalaforge
        lol
      • 2004-04-23 11454, 2004

      • yalaforge
        too cold :-)
      • 2004-04-23 11403, 2004

      • ruaok
        we just went for our inaugural soak in our new hot tub.
      • 2004-04-23 11425, 2004

      • ruaok
        what an ordeal getting that installed, but its finally done.
      • 2004-04-23 11449, 2004

      • yalaforge was reading the playlist mailing list
      • 2004-04-23 11454, 2004

      • yalaforge
        not pleasant either
      • 2004-04-23 11435, 2004

      • ruaok
        nope.
      • 2004-04-23 11439, 2004

      • ruaok
        painful, indeed.
      • 2004-04-23 11454, 2004

      • yalaforge
        I'm glad someone explained me the point in XML
      • 2004-04-23 11410, 2004

      • yalaforge
        very embarrassing that I didn't get it after all those years ;->
      • 2004-04-23 11416, 2004

      • ruaok
        eh?
      • 2004-04-23 11420, 2004

      • ruaok
        which point?
      • 2004-04-23 11441, 2004

      • yalaforge
        that you can add elements later and don't break existing parsers :-)
      • 2004-04-23 11448, 2004

      • ruaok
        oh.
      • 2004-04-23 11451, 2004

      • ruaok
        ya. :-)

        I learned SGML 4-5 lives ago.
      • 2004-04-23 11416, 2004

      • ruaok
        Horribly complex, but pretty cool.
      • 2004-04-23 11427, 2004

      • ruaok
        xml is all the best of SGML.
      • 2004-04-23 11437, 2004

      • yalaforge
        much simpler
      • 2004-04-23 11445, 2004

      • ruaok
        so when xml came around, I was sold, right off the bat.
      • 2004-04-23 11401, 2004

      • yalaforge tried to write a DSSSL stylesheet in the old days

      • yalaforge
        pure horror
      • 2004-04-23 11425, 2004

      • ruaok
        I never even heard of that. What timeframe was that?
      • 2004-04-23 11450, 2004

      • yalaforge
        it was quite popular 7-10 years ago
      • 2004-04-23 11457, 2004

      • yalaforge
        it's a lisp dialect
      • 2004-04-23 11408, 2004

      • ruaok
        ick.
      • 2004-04-23 11412, 2004

      • yalaforge
        people tried to use it for XML, too
      • 2004-04-23 11420, 2004

      • yalaforge
        with emphasis on 'tried'
      • 2004-04-23 11427, 2004

      • ruaok
        I was never fond of lisp, ml or prolog.

      • yalaforge
        lisp is kind of cool for toy problems

        I used to have Turbo Prolog, but that was the ONLY language I never managed to write a meaningful program in.
      • 2004-04-23 11445, 2004

      • yalaforge
        anyway, I think I'll hack on mb_index today
      • 2004-04-23 11425, 2004

        :-)
      • 2004-04-23 11425, 2004

      • yalaforge
        in the evening I think I'll have updating via XML packages implemented
      • 2004-04-23 11437, 2004

      • ruaok
        I was just thinking the same. I want to finish the last set of codings for libtp.
      • 2004-04-23 11445, 2004

      • yalaforge
        testing takes much, much longer
      • 2004-04-23 11445, 2004

      • ruaok
        Go to bed, debug it in the morning.
      • 2004-04-23 11455, 2004

        :-9
      • 2004-04-23 11457, 2004

      • yalaforge
        :-)
      • 2004-04-23 11402, 2004

      • ruaok
        sounds like we're in similar places.
      • 2004-04-23 11409, 2004

      • ruaok
        I can't wait to go back to python.
      • 2004-04-23 11424, 2004

      • ruaok
        And my first goal is to replicate the tag editing features in easy tag.
      • 2004-04-23 11436, 2004

      • yalaforge really has to install easytag
      • 2004-04-23 11439, 2004

      • ruaok
        Just have a solid tagging app, and then load the cool identification features on top.
      • 2004-04-23 11449, 2004

      • ruaok
        apt-get install easytag
      • 2004-04-23 11401, 2004

      • yalaforge
        whoo. could it be so easy :-)
      • 2004-04-23 11407, 2004

      • ruaok
        its not the greatest program, but it conveys some important features.
      • 2004-04-23 11414, 2004

      • ruaok
        :-)
      • 2004-04-23 11417, 2004

      • ruaok
        ok, I'l off to coding.
      • 2004-04-23 11425, 2004

      • yalaforge
        ok, have fun!

      • ruaok
        du auch!
      • 2004-04-23 11446, 2004

      • yalaforge
        danke
      • 2004-04-23 11416, 2004

      • ruaok
        yalaforge: you still around?
      • 2004-04-23 11420, 2004

      • yalaforge
        yup
      • 2004-04-23 11429, 2004

      • ruaok
        can I bounce an idea off you?
      • 2004-04-23 11433, 2004

      • yalaforge
        sure
      • 2004-04-23 11438, 2004

      • ruaok
        ok, think libtunpimp.
      • 2004-04-23 11443, 2004

      • ruaok
        pipeline architecture.
      • 2004-04-23 11455, 2004

      • yalaforge
        ok
      • 2004-04-23 11402, 2004

      • ruaok
        we used to have an analyzer that did metadata read and TRM at the same time.
      • 2004-04-23 11415, 2004

      • ruaok
        since picard will do more album oriented lookups, the need for TRM is less.
      • 2004-04-23 11423, 2004

      • ruaok
        Thus metdata read and TRM have been decoupled.
      • 2004-04-23 11432, 2004

      • yalaforge
        so you want to split the thread, too?
      • 2004-04-23 11437, 2004

      • ruaok
        yes.
      • 2004-04-23 11446, 2004

      • yalaforge
        sounds sensible
      • 2004-04-23 11447, 2004

      • ruaok
        keeping functional blocks seperate
      • 2004-04-23 11459, 2004

      • ruaok
        that's all pretty much past tense.
      • 2004-04-23 11415, 2004

      • ruaok
        the question I have is this...
      • 2004-04-23 11434, 2004

      • ruaok
        It used to be that a track through libtp had a certain path, and all the transitions were obvious.
      • 2004-04-23 11456, 2004

      • ruaok
        pending -> trm lookup -> (rec, unrecog, error)
      • 2004-04-23 11403, 2004

      • ruaok
        but now we have:
      • 2004-04-23 11415, 2004

      • ruaok
        readmetdata -> unidentified or TRM
      • 2004-04-23 11435, 2004

      • ruaok
        but the read metadata doesn't yield any info to make this decision.
      • 2004-04-23 11442, 2004

      • ruaok
        The caller needs to direct the flow of the track.
      • 2004-04-23 11446, 2004

      • ruaok
        Is this track TRM bound?
      • 2004-04-23 11459, 2004

      • ruaok
        Or just readmetadata -> recognized or unrecognized?
      • 2004-04-23 11416, 2004

      • ruaok
        does the problem make sense?
      • 2004-04-23 11433, 2004

      • yalaforge
        I'd readmeatadata, then query the web service
      • 2004-04-23 11443, 2004

      • yalaforge
        if unrecognized, then TRM
      • 2004-04-23 11443, 2004

      • ruaok
        well...
      • 2004-04-23 11452, 2004

      • ruaok
        kinda.
      • 2004-04-23 11455, 2004

      • yalaforge
        that way it stays a linear pipeline
      • 2004-04-23 11409, 2004

      • ruaok
        you have to add a number of tracks and then perform that album lookup on those number of tracks.
      • 2004-04-23 11420, 2004

      • ruaok
        so where do some tracks go while new tracks are being added?
      • 2004-04-23 11453, 2004

      • yalaforge
        you need a thirds state (recognized, unrec., accumulating)
      • 2004-04-23 11405, 2004

      • yalaforge
        right?
      • 2004-04-23 11409, 2004

      • ruaok
        now I am wondering if I make too mcuh of this.
      • 2004-04-23 11418, 2004

      • ruaok
        seems like its getting complicated.
      • 2004-04-23 11432, 2004

      • yalaforge
        hm ...
      • 2004-04-23 11434, 2004

      • ruaok
        The read metadata should move a file to either recognized or unrecognized.
      • 2004-04-23 11451, 2004

      • ruaok
        The caller should watch the messages for tracks that appear unrecognized.
      • 2004-04-23 11458, 2004

      • ruaok
        And move them along by doing:
      • 2004-04-23 11400, 2004

      • ruaok
        1. nothing.
      • 2004-04-23 11421, 2004

      • ruaok
        2. clustering into an album and doing and album lookup while it stays in unrecognized.
      • 2004-04-23 11431, 2004

      • ruaok
        3. set to pending for TRM generation.
      • 2004-04-23 11444, 2004

      • ruaok
        Yes, that makes sense.
      • 2004-04-23 11403, 2004

      • ruaok
        The tagger will need to get modified to look for unidentified files that have no TRM.
      • 2004-04-23 11413, 2004
