        im confused
      • why isnt picard writing my id3v2 tags
      • SenRepus doesnt know
      • SenRepus
        did you yell at him? sometimes it helps, but sometimes he just gets mad. in that case, bribery i... ill shut up
      • dseomn
        lol
      • SenRepus
        between you and me, that guy can be a real douchebag. but dont tell him i said so
      • dseomn
        UserErr0r: don't worry, he's not reffering to you (AFAICT)
      • SenRepus
        im talking about picard

      • (UE used to hang out in here a lot, dseomn)
      • dseomn
        ok
      • UUE hangs out in my email prog a lot
      • SenRepus
        so he atleast knew at one time to ignore me
      • maybye forgot by now though
      • dseomn
        now he'll have to learn to ignore me too ;>

      • UserErr0r
        heh
      • yeah i used to idle here until my mirc crashed and i wasnt in a hurry to readd my 5 networks and 50 chans to autojoin
      • SenRepus
        at any rate, explain the problem more? it just leaves the tags as they were>
      • ?
      • UserErr0r
        it writes the id
      • er
      • sorry, finger slipped
      • it writes the id3v1 tag, even though i have that not enabled, and doesnt write the id3v2 tag (which the options says will always be written)
      • luks
        which version of id3v2 tags are you using?
      • UserErr0r
        uhhh
      • 2.4
      • luks
        and are you sure your player can read that?
      • UserErr0r
        winamp
      • luks
        for example most of players can't read utf-8 tags
      • UserErr0r
        im guessing thats the issue
      • luks
        try 2.3 & latin
      • UserErr0r
        will try it later
      • SenRepus
        i use winamp too and picard worked fine when it ran
      • luks
        and install some better player! :p
      • UserErr0r eats
      • UserErr0r
        and ty
      • (if it works, if it doesnt, then you suck)
      • heh
      • find me a better player then, with a media library and supports video
      • luks
        itunes
      • UserErr0r
        and supports video

        oh boy
      • who started this whole trm vs. lucene mess?
      • LOL
      • i really don't understand what all the fuss is about
      • ruaok
        Grrr.
      • ruaok gnashes his teeth.
      • I'm with you on that.
      • wolfsong
        i'm feeling for ya
      • ruaok
        Of all the people, Paul Taylor has the most valid point.
      • Losing the TRM server would invalidate his product.
      • that's bad.
      • thanks.
      • wolfsong
        haven't tracked it that closely... what was his point?
      • ruaok
        its not like I'm turning the damn thing off tomorrow, or that I am doing it out of spite.
      • wolfsong
        oh him
      • well that's what i don't understand
      • ruaok
        he wrote Jaikoz.
      • wolfsong
        the original statement was that TRMs would GRADUALLY go away
      • ruaok
        everyone else whinning about not being able to identify test01.mp3 bugs me.
      • wolfsong
        i don't understand what the histerics are about
      • ruaok nods vehemently
      • ruaok
        and I feel a bit insulted in this.
      • do people think I would intentionally make MB suck?
      • Did I not create the tagger in the first place?
      • wolfsong
        well your concerns about resources are equally valid
      • it's FREEEEEE
      • ruaok
        You'd think that people would give me a little credit for knowing how to fix this problem.
      • ding!
      • wolfsong
        not a whole lot to complain about really
      • ruaok
        and Russ does have a good point -- we'll loose people who dont want to download 200Mb files.
      • wolfsong
        yeah it's not as +t
      • ... cat's typing 2
      • ruaok
        lol
      • wolfsong
        she's opinionated like her father
      • DJKC
        I'd chip in that I don't think track 01.mp3 is an edge case
      • ruaok
        I guess that should behoove me to finish off picard and show the world what lucene can do.
      • wolfsong
        true but i think you're right that real users will
      • own the disc
      • ruaok
        DJKC: how many people do you think need that feature?
      • DJKC
        from stuff submitted on last.fm completely wrong or non-existant metadata is common
      • wolfsong
        have a fairly large library
      • ruaok
        how many times have you used that?
      • DJKC
        I can't use mb tagger
      • no unicode
      • ruaok
        I'll even go as far as saying this: (and this is stepping out of character)
      • wolfsong
        i don't have a lot of sympathy for folks who use P2P to get all their stuff
      • maybe they should pay for MB
      • ruaok
        if you have a file that has incorrect or no metadata, where did you get it from? Did you get it legall? Chances are not.
      • wolfsong
        legit users will not have issues with lookups on Picard
      • DJKC
        I have legit files with incorrect and no metadata
      • collect CDs for 10 years and rip to your computer that whole time
      • you'll end up with goofy stuff
      • wolfsong
        but do you know what those tracks are?
      • how many of those could you not identify?
      • ruaok
        wolfsong: I fully agree with all your points.
      • DJKC
      • see the examples I gave shepard there
      • wolfsong
        and how likely is it that you have 2 "Track1.mp3" files without some sort of cataloging system
      • ruaok
        DJKC: I'd say that YOU are and edge case.
      • DJKC
        I have multiple 01_____~1.mp3, 02_____~2.mp3
      • ruaok
        and you can't identify them by listening to them?
      • DJKC
        ruaok: possibly. but "number of people that need that feature" and "number of people that need it for legal files aren't the same thing"
      • wolfsong
        what percentage of your collection does that make up?
      • DJKC
        you asked the former first
      • ruaok
        Also, if you look at the metadata of files in the 'wild', you'll see that metadata quality is improving.
      • wolfsong
        developing for every case is a fruitless endeavor
      • ruaok
        at first doing this without TRM would not have been possible.
      • DJKC
        wolfsong: 0.6% or so
      • ruaok
        a tiny amount.
      • DJKC
        600 some files
      • ruaok
        not worth coding/hassling for.
      • wolfsong
        then i still don't see why that should be a fuss if less than 1% of your 10 year collection is in this state
      • DJKC
        what people eject to is that the feature is already there and they're using it
      • *object
      • wee, tired
      • ruaok
        yes, but its near the end of its lifetime.
      • wolfsong
        robert didn't say it's being elliminated overnight
      • ruaok
        works today, but it won't be working too well 6 months from now.
      • I guarantee you that if I didn't have a new solution in place when TRM starts sucking for real, people would be jumping all over my shit.
      • :-)
      • DJKC
        heh
      • wolfsong
        and if the resources can't support it MB has a bigger problem struggling to support it
      • ruaok
        wolfsong: thanks for stopping by and chiming in. You're making me feel loads better.
      • wolfsong
        np
      • i should get my ass on here more often
