      • r00ted
        then report it to your search engine

        aloha, i have a question about the music brainz tagger, is there anyone around with a free couple of minutes please?
      • masi has quit
      • ...this is a very quiet channel for 40 people
      • mustaqila
        It's early
      • Not even 7am yet...
      • em-pathy
        almost 6pm in my country and coast
      • would you be able to try answer a quick question for me please?
      • mustaqila
        I can try
      • em-pathy
        i think the answer is probably very obvious and im beinga total dumb ass
      • here goes
      • mustaqila is a dumbass ;)
      • erm...how do i configure how Musicbrain Tagger...tags my mp3s?
      • i dont want Artist - Title
      • I want Artist - Album - Track number - Title
      • mustaqila
        Tags or renames them?
      • em-pathy
        but in the tag, i only see options to rename the files in that structure
      • yeah tags
      • mustaqila
        Errm...MB tags each individual ID3 bit seperately
      • I presume you want it displayed differently in your mediaplayer?
      • em-pathy
        im sorry i dont understand what you're asking
      • mustaqila
        I'm not sure I understand what you're aking
      • em-pathy
        lol
      • id like my winamp playlist to not look like a dj sneezed across it
      • mustaqila
        Oh, winamp...
      • em-pathy
        i want it to look like some audiophile lost two weeks
      • mustaqila
        Well, that's not a MB thing then :P
      • em-pathy
        ohhhhh
      • i swear i did it like a year ago!
      • you're probably right though
      • cause i dont see any options now
      • mustaqila
        MusicBrainz will tag the file correctly, what you want to change is how WinAmp displays the things on it's playlist?
      • em-pathy
        no
      • i want to change how musicbrainz tags my files
      • winamp just reads the tag, i dont let it assume anything
      • mustaqila
        Okay, do you know how an ID3 tag works?
      • em-pathy
        yeah i believe so
      • mustaqila
        It has a seperate field for each data item, one for Artist, one for Title, another for Track number and so on and so forth
      • em-pathy
        various tags have the value for "album" "artist" etc
      • ahhhh
      • mustaqila
        MB will tag all those properly, as there's only one way to tag that, correctly
      • em-pathy
        ok i guess my question is, can i change how Musicbrain tags the Title of mp3s?
      • sorry i see where the confusion has occured now
      • my bad
      • mustaqila
        So it shows in Winamp as being Artist - Album - Track number - Title
      • ?
      • em-pathy
        yeah
      • but the way i would normally do that
      • is have all the info in the Title field
      • mustaqila
        Okay, well like i said, MB ha no control over that
      • em-pathy
        minus the artist
      • ahhh ok, fair enough
      • mustaqila
        It's WinAmp you want to change
      • em-pathy
        ill have a screw around with the Advanced Title Formatting thing
      • mustaqila
        As for winamp, I stopped using it about 4-5months ago or so, so I'm walking on thin ice here :P
      • Have you tried viewing your stuff in the Media Library for WinAmp?
      • em-pathy
        i dont use the media library
      • im old school
      • just the playlist
      • although i use winamp 5
      • mustaqila
        Afaik, iirc, the playlist will only show the Artist - Title, even if all the other bits are filled out correctly
      • The Media Library, Alt+M I think, will show all the set/desired fields etc
      • em-pathy
        i think ive got this situation on lock down, one moment please
      • media library is a resource hogging whore :*(
      • but thats my next approach if what im trying now fails
      • mustaqila
        WinAmp is a carcinogen...
      • em-pathy
        as if
      • mustaqila
        I just use iTunes, it shows it all nicely :)
      • em-pathy
        what do you use?
      • OHHHHHHH
      • you so didn't say that
      • i HATE itunes
      • mustaqila
        Why?
      • em-pathy
        BULKWARE
      • mustaqila
        O.o
      • It's using 15Mb at the moment
      • em-pathy
        i dont want to burn cds, i dont want it to restructure my mp3 folders
      • im sure you can turn all that off
      • mustaqila
        Indeed you dan
      • *can
      • em-pathy
        but im scared off by the unorganised hell of everyone elses computers that have it
      • mustaqila
        Just don't tell it to that stuff and it won't
      • em-pathy
        and I think its ugly as hell, althouh notably i use OSX theming on my copy of windows
      • so whehn you turn off all the lights and smoke, why is itunes better than winamp?
      • mustaqila
        They're idiots then, my files are all nicely organised and it looks fine and tags aren't a problem. I'm adamant about my tags thesedays
      • em-pathy
        or better for you
