        • 2004-05-01 12235, 2004

      • jwatk03

        what should i enter for release year if it's a rerelease of an old album that also includes bonus tracks?

        • 2004-05-01 12241, 2004

      • ArdentSi1ent
        3

        • 2004-05-01 12245, 2004

      • djce
        Personally, I'd say the year of re-release.

        • 2004-05-01 12208, 2004

      • djce
        Though that may not be the opinion of MB as a whole :-)

        • 2004-05-01 12221, 2004

      • daaavid
        but i like release years 'cause they give me a sense of music history =(

        • 2004-05-01 12234, 2004

      • daaavid
        using the re-release date would mess that up

        • 2004-05-01 12206, 2004

      • daaavid
        well, this neil guy who voted on my moderation claimed that i was breaking the guidelines by using the original release date

        • 2004-05-01 12223, 2004

      • daaavid
        but i couldn't find that particular rule on the wiki or on the webpage

        • 2004-05-01 12256, 2004

      • djce
        neil is kind of always right, almost by definition, on these things.

        • 2004-05-01 12217, 2004

      • djce
        We ask him to make up the rules that the rest of us follow, style-wise.

        • 2004-05-01 12247, 2004

      • daaavid
        oh

        • 2004-05-01 12249, 2004

      • djce
        I'd suggest you ask neil if the rule in question is actually on the web site or the wiki somewhere.

        • 2004-05-01 12256, 2004

      • djce
        if not, we'll get it added.

        • 2004-05-01 12204, 2004

      • djce
        I expect.

        • 2004-05-01 12244, 2004

      • daaavid
        if there are several release dates for an album in the database, which one does the tagger use?

        • 2004-05-01 12218, 2004

      • djce
        daaavid: the first

        • 2004-05-01 12227, 2004

      • djce
        and I only know one Pixies song.

        • 2004-05-01 12259, 2004

      • daaavid
        i think i just found a bug

      • daaavid
        i have an album i'm taggin that has several release dates

        • 2004-05-01 12222, 2004

      • daaavid
        it puts the first one in the list into the id3 tag and the last one in the filename

        hello

        • 2004-05-01 12227, 2004

      • birkett
        I found a cd that I have in the database, but the trm it has for some of the tracks don't match what I get when I compute it myself. How do I add my versions?

        • 2004-05-01 12233, 2004

      • blizzow
        you can tell the tagger that your tracks are misidentified and then from the unidentified tab, select the song and click on the trm tag next to the track on the bottom pane of the tagger.

        • 2004-05-01 12212, 2004

      • birkett
        Ah - I don't have tagger because it's only avaliable for windows. Can I do the same thing on the website?

        • 2004-05-01 12241, 2004

      • blizzow
        no, but you can use the tunepimp application.

        • 2004-05-01 12248, 2004

      • blizzow
        You can download it off the site.

        • 2004-05-01 12251, 2004

      • birkett
        ok, I'll have a look at that then

        • 2004-05-01 12204, 2004

        great, let me just try one more thing before I ask dumb questions...give me a couple mins

        • 2004-05-01 12240, 2004

      • djce
        sure

        • 2004-05-01 12227, 2004

      • birkett
        I'm trying to submit some trm id's (usign the tunepimp console client) and it's giving me "Submit error: Unknown user." whenever I try, but the username and password I gave it are the same as the ones I signed up with...

        • 2004-05-01 12245, 2004

      • djce
        birkett: check which server it's using.

        • 2004-05-01 12253, 2004

      • djce
        it might be using the test server by default.

        • 2004-05-01 12239, 2004

      • birkett
        there doesn't seem to be a command to show the server it's using, but I can change it. What's the correct server address?

        • 2004-05-01 12255, 2004

      • djce
        www.musicbrainz.org

        • 2004-05-01 12213, 2004

      • djce
        if you type "?" it shows the current options

        • 2004-05-01 12218, 2004

      • djce
        e.g. for me it says:

        • 2004-05-01 12223, 2004

      • djce
        u <server name> Use MB server (test.musicbrainz.org)

        (as well as lots of other output)

        • 2004-05-01 12257, 2004

      • birkett
        oh, sorry. I thought test.musicbrainz.org was an example :-)

        • 2004-05-01 12210, 2004

      • djce
        that's the current setting.

        • 2004-05-01 12218, 2004

        • 2004-05-01 12219, 2004

      • djce
        I don't know much about operating Wine. I've heard it can be done, but have no idea how.

      • birkett
        well, it just seems to give me an error and then die, so never mind :-)

        • 2004-05-01 12246, 2004

      • DcGoodYea
        are there in examples around of query code? for example, I used the MusicBrainz.MBQ_FindArtistByName to find the artist, now I want to loop through the result set, getting each records name...

        • 2004-05-01 12240, 2004

      • DcGoodYea
        I try using MusicBrainz.MBS_SelectArtist, but that doesn't seem to be working for me

        • 2004-05-01 12216, 2004

      • djce
        I don't know offhand; I'll see what examples I can find, and get to you.
