is it normal for the MB tagger to crash on me for at least one song per album on average?
nikki_
no
Malnilion
alrighty then, have there been similar reports of this behavior before?
I really like how the tagger is set up, it just crashes all the time for me :(
nikki_
I've no idea, sorry :/
SenRepus
discogs sure is incomplete
Malnilion are you using picard or tagger?
Malnilion
tagger
Eirien joined the channel
should I try picard?
Pipian has quit
SenRepus
might as well
might not even open for you but tagger isnt going to be updated anymore
Malnilion
thanks for the info
mb tagger seems like it is such a nice program but man is it unstable for me
SenRepus
i ahve 12 no doubt CDs and none of them are in discogs
]well, we all like picard more... so... maybe you will too
Malnilion
I think I'm liking it already, just loaded my rather small music library and it seems to be going through without too many problems
SenRepus
picard is very beta still though
its not even really set up to match tracks on its own yet, much, but with a little help you can fly through them
the way i do it is, load the album up (through the search at the top, then click the green tagger button next to what you want) then drag the folder onto the album once its loaded. picard will automatically put them all where they go
usually

i'm wondering about moderating band name-changes - seem to keep coming here when people are asleep though. :) any chance you could help?
SenRepus
i can surely try
though, i cant guarentee results
Malnilion
SenRepus, how long should it take to "load album information"?
SenRepus
not long at all usually, there's a problem?
Malnilion
aparently
yeah it's taking too long
do I have to set anything special up in my web browser?
SenRepus
no...

there's a great danish post-punk band called 'sort sol' which split up this year. from the late 70s until 84, they played mostly as 'sods'. the 'sods' releases are in the mb database, but they're listed under sort sol. there's one sods song listed but mistakenly under 'the sods'. i've tried to change that. but what i'm wondering is whether the sods releases should be listed under sods instead of sort sol, maybe with a relation
SenRepus
i dont know what to tell you for that one
Malnilion
SenRepus, what version of Picard are you currently running?
SenRepus
i reformatted my hard drive and picard wont even run anymore, so, none
sorry guys, im not much help
i dont know what to tell you g-reth
g-reth
heh, no worries. sorry, it's a pretty obscure question eh.
SenRepus
IMO their releases as sods should be under the artist sods
g-reth
i think so as well.
there's no 'sods' in the database at the moment, though. just 'the sods'.
can you try to import from freedb or something, in situations like this?
IMO they should probably be under sods too. i'm just not sure how best to change it. :)
nikki_
you could add the artist 'sods'
g-reth
ok. i've got a name-change from 'the sods' to 'sods' pending atm, will it be a problem if i add a new 'sods' in the meantime?
nikki_
is everything under 'the sods' really by the artist 'sods'?
g-reth
from memory there's only one track, taken from a punk compilation. but yes.
most of the releases by the artist 'sods' are listed under 'sort sol'.
nikki_
ah
just wait for that to change then
g-reth
i think part of the problem is that the sods albums were re-released in the 90s after the band had changed their name, but still with 'sods' on the cover. :)
Malnilion
re-released albums still go under the original name though :)
like you said
