looks good. you can add the artists for the individual tracks, if you have the energy
2005-11-29 33319, 2005
nechto13
how do I do that? I would have done that instead of creating ARs for every song, unless I need to do both
2005-11-29 33301, 2005
yllona
you added the artists for each son which is good, now you need to link them together
2005-11-29 33313, 2005
nechto13
is there a guideline page for that?
2005-11-29 33322, 2005
yllona
when i click on track one i get the artist "Uvertyura" but it says that the artist has no relationshops
2005-11-29 33354, 2005
yllona
bou the artist appears on teh correct album, so you're okay
2005-11-29 33357, 2005
nechto13
that's because it's an instrumental
2005-11-29 33306, 2005
yllona
ah, thanks
2005-11-29 33314, 2005
eMb has quit
2005-11-29 33340, 2005
yllona
track two has ARs tho...
2005-11-29 33348, 2005
yllona
so i think you're good
2005-11-29 33356, 2005
nechto13
everything that doesn't have ARs is an instrumental
2005-11-29 33304, 2005
yllona
okay
2005-11-29 33305, 2005
inhouseuk is very impressed
2005-11-29 33321, 2005
inhouseuk
that's good work
2005-11-29 33331, 2005
yllona
yeah me too. in multiple languages no less
2005-11-29 33343, 2005
nechto13
as a matter of fact all instrumental tracks were performed by State Symphonic Orchestra of Cinematography
2005-11-29 33359, 2005
nechto13
am I supposed to put that somewhere?
2005-11-29 33302, 2005
yllona
can you add that as an AR?
2005-11-29 33347, 2005
yllona
create the artist "State Symphonic Orchestra of Cinematography" and add it as an AR to the instrumental tracks
2005-11-29 33306, 2005
nechto13
allright I'll add them as an artist first I doubt that anyone has done that
2005-11-29 33321, 2005
yllona
done waht?
2005-11-29 33304, 2005
inhouseuk
add the orchestra in the past
2005-11-29 33305, 2005
nechto13
what I meant is that I doubt that it's in mb database
2005-11-29 33305, 2005
inhouseuk
added
2005-11-29 33320, 2005
inhouseuk
it isn't
2005-11-29 33322, 2005
yllona
that's okay, i've added orchestras... and many artists. the last musical i added had a primary cast of 33 singers. and an ensemble of 22 singers, plus full orchestra
2005-11-29 33357, 2005
inhouseuk
adding that many artists and AR's is very stressful
2005-11-29 33310, 2005
yllona
no sh--
2005-11-29 33355, 2005
yllona
i'm lobbying for a mechanism to create a "set" of artists that can be applied across multiple tracks on an album
2005-11-29 33327, 2005
yllona
would be useful for jazz also, where you have varying personnel on tracks
2005-11-29 33358, 2005
inhouseuk
so create the artists and associate them with the vocals/intruments and then apply that to the tracks. so you don't have to repeat the proces for every track
2005-11-29 33319, 2005
yllona
yes, that's it!
2005-11-29 33357, 2005
yllona
would be great if if persistent across sessions, but even baby steps would be helpful.
2005-11-29 33350, 2005
inhouseuk
so you could have a sort of "address book" of your most used artist + instrument/vocal associations that you could use at a later stage. Further developement could allow you to share certain entries out of that address book with other moderators.....
2005-11-29 33310, 2005
yllona
yes
2005-11-29 33352, 2005
yllona
would make for greater consistency also. and the artist sets could be moderated also
2005-11-29 33319, 2005
inhouseuk
have you already proposed this?
2005-11-29 33336, 2005
yllona
so i might create a set "trane quartet - 1958" that could be applied across multiple albums
2005-11-29 33342, 2005
yllona
and tracks on albums
2005-11-29 33359, 2005
yllona
no i haven't proposed it yet, other than IRC
2005-11-29 33327, 2005
yllona is listening to When Malindy Sings by Abbey Lincoln from Straight Ahead (1961) (0:05 / 4:05)
2005-11-29 33337, 2005
yllona
like this track.. do you know the personnel? max roach, joe henderson, eric dolphy, mal waldron
2005-11-29 33354, 2005
yllona
i could apply that set across ~20 albums
2005-11-29 33307, 2005
yllona
or more
2005-11-29 33323, 2005
inhouseuk
with ease :)

the only thing I'm lobbying for is the ability to lock known good data, this I feel is desperately required, especially with paying customers using the data
2005-11-29 33347, 2005
yllona
yes. but i can't spend 24 hours per album adding all the necessary useful data
2005-11-29 33308, 2005
yllona
also to we need to create ARs for "company" and "ensemble" for use on musical theater and opera
i look, but sometimes is resize my window and the topics don't display fully
2005-11-29 33320, 2005
yllona
my bad (again)
2005-11-29 33322, 2005
inhouseuk
don't worry, I had to think where I'd seen it
2005-11-29 33348, 2005
nechto13
am I supposed to create my userpage before I can do that?
2005-11-29 33318, 2005
inhouseuk
yes, you'll need to create your userpage first
2005-11-29 33352, 2005
inhouseuk hasn't done his yet
2005-11-29 33320, 2005
yllona
and the instructions are klugey at best
2005-11-29 33310, 2005
inhouseuk
we need a language classfication below some
2005-11-29 33342, 2005
yllona
i still can't find basic instructions for creating a "UserPage"
2005-11-29 33330, 2005

I'd need ModeratorLanguage/Russian/a_little_when_nobody_around_can_communicate_in_english :)
2005-11-29 33329, 2005

I created a profile, but I'm still not sure where to put ModeratorLanguage/Russian/Native

i couldn't find ot either, and the wiki pages aren't much help. i'll ask one of the old timers in the morning. can you check in tomorrow?

that's funny, I put so much effort in adding the soundtrack and my files are all below 40% similarity, I bet they'd have higher similarity rating with incorrect artists and track names
2005-11-29 33312, 2005
nechto13
I already created a user page, I'm still not sure how to add myself to a language group
2005-11-29 33318, 2005

it seems you just put ["ModeratorLanguage/Russian/Native"] somewhere on the page when editing it. But I might be wrong
2005-11-29 33338, 2005
nechto13
I'll try that
2005-11-29 33359, 2005

yep that took care of it, thanks

hmm, in what language should I add her though? she sang in russian, polish, english, and italian
2005-11-29 33321, 2005

she was from Poland though
2005-11-29 33328, 2005

on the same album?
2005-11-29 33338, 2005

sometimes in the same song
2005-11-29 33355, 2005

2005-11-29 33309, 2005
nechto13
but, angelique kidjo sings mainly in french, doesn't she?
2005-11-29 33314, 2005
yllona
ie, is the CD cover in english? or russian? or italian....
2005-11-29 33349, 2005
nechto13
besides Anna Gerrman has been released in both russian and polish
2005-11-29 33306, 2005
nechto13
maybe in english too.
2005-11-29 33313, 2005
yllona
nechto13: no angelique sings in french portugeuse and /or spanish, wolof and english
2005-11-29 33338, 2005
yllona
so if i have a US release of angelique's CD i use english, if i have a french import i use french, etc
2005-11-29 33309, 2005
yllona
basically i use whatever language the CD cover is printed in
2005-11-29 33300, 2005
nechto13
yes, but they use the same script, unlike russian and english for instance.
2005-11-29 33321, 2005

alright I'll add her name in russian and give her aliases

by the way I recomend anything by Anna German, she has operatic voice, but she went into song writing.
