        last.fm search? maybe someone has listened to him
      • yllona
        last.fm search is a little broken, but give it whirl anayway
      • nechto13
        i tried aport.ru, but couldn't find it his first name
      • Schika
        btw the first name "V Chuikin" gave me results of an astronom
      • nechto13
        everyone has him listed as V. Chuykin
      • i have links, if someone wants to take a look
      • Schika
        then use that one, maybe in future you get more info and then you can correct the artist name ;)
      • nechto13
        that's an excellent idea
      • tattoo has left the channel
      • yllona
        okay i've added most of the mods for buckshot lefonque, many more to go, and i haven't done the album tracks yet, http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/results.html?...
      • get a head start on the votes :P
      • juhae
        grr, i hate freedb imports which are all in lower case
      • yllona
        oops that thesame
      • inhouseuk
      • zout
        please vote no on all edits by this moderator: http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/pre/moderator...
      • he's changing a good entry added by teleguise into something else.
      • nechto13
        inhouseuk: nope sorry to tell you, but he is just a singer he didn't actually star in the movie
      • PRAEst76
        zout: Are these people afraid of mod notes or something?
      • ruaok
        zout: done. and thanks for posting that mail to mb-users and mb-experts!
      • moin everyone!
      • yllona
        mornin'
      • nechto13
        also this profile doesn't seem to specify the actor's first name
      • but in any case it's V Chuykin or V Chuikin
      • zout
        ruaok, you're welcome
      • yllona
        nechto13 not actors use a first name, i can think of several american actors that use initials
      • zout
        PRAEst76: I've recently come across a modnote that said: "What's a moderation note?"
      • :D
      • and please also vote yes on http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3768040 , otherwise a good add album edit will fail too
      • yllona
        the artist name and sort name don't match
      • oh i se the note okay
      • zout
        People abstain on 'add crappy entry' mods , but somehow vote no on a mod that is very easy to fix.
      • I don't get it
      • zout is now known as zout_AWAY
      • juhae
        There's only so many "fix crappy entries" mods I'll do per day personally
      • It especially becomes quite frustrating when you see the same person importing crap continuously, without heeding to the style guide pointers I give in modnotes :/
      • yllona
        juhae: that's why gawd created bourbon (and scotch)
      • PRAEst76
        I think the reason many people will automatically vote no on such mods is due to the frustration of seeing people just not making the effort. I have to restrain myself from giving an automatic no to anything that doesn't have the release type defined personally.
      • yllona
        or a date, or a language. those things are so easy to check
      • PRAEst76
        I think some mods need to take time off MB when they start to feel themselves getting too jaded. We don't want Musicbrainz turning into discogs.
      • juhae
        I've never used discogs, what do you mean?
      • yllona
        i dont use discogs
      • juhae
        Btw, do we already have the "pig latin" language? :)
      • zout_AWAY
        zout_AWAY is now known as zout
      • PRAEst76
        Dunno, but I've always belived it needed taken out and shot
      • zout
        PRAEst76: I've recently started to vote no on releases that no not have a release type
      • of course, also pointing that out in a note
      • PRAEst76
        I get fed up with it. I just want them to correct their errors but an amazing amount of people just don't seem to care. Once they've got their mp3s tagged they no longer have a use or any interest in MB until their next load of mp3s need tagged.
      • zout
        yes, I feel the same
      • at one end, I'm fixing/correcting discographies for artists I care about
      • juhae
        Same here, although I make mistakes every now and then - but I respect when someone points it out to me :)
      • yllona
        well i would agree that there are alot of "junk" entries
      • zout
        and one the other end 10 times as much bad entries get added
      • so I'd rather first have better entries
      • yllona
        the site is doggin what's up?
      • zout
        so that we later can focus on new stuff
      • ruaok
        yllona: two things, one its time for nightly maintanance and two we've gotten mentioned in digg comments and in a couple of other places.
      • tons and tons of new visitors
      • juhae
        The freedb imports could use a note about double-checking for correct style and capitalization and proof-reading the track names
      • yllona
        ah okay...
      • juhae
        In huge letters :P
      • ruaok
        I hope to move to a new colo and purchase two new machines soon.
      • yllona
        oooh!
      • ruaok
        so the main machines can be available for people who moderate.
      • then two machines for people who tag.
      • so that the tagging people no longer drag down the main server.
      • but until then.... :-(
      • tru
        where are the machines hosted now? somewhere in the states I guess?
      • zout
        ruaok: can you set the correct time on my machine?
      • rowaasr13 joined the channel
      • yllona bitch slaps any and every hip-hop artist for re-using names
      • rowaasr13
        I'm thinking of checking some russian artists when I have nothing else to do, is there a way to list all artists that have names in cyrillic or at least one album with language set to russian?
      • g0llum
        guess you can use the advanced moderation search
      • rowaasr13
        Yes, I use it right now but it's major PITA to fetch artists from those results.
      • ruaok
        zout: done. I installed a daemon to automatically keep it up to date
      • nechto13
        somebody tell me I don't have to do this: i have a track where one guy sings vocals and there are three more guys that repeat the couplet in the background. please tell me I don't have to add three more artists
      • zout
        thanks
      • BTW: can you turn off all those mails I receive on that machine? check out the mailbox for my username... (feel free to read them)
      • ruaok
        np
      • yllona
        nechto13: yes, you do. thus my rant about "sets" of artists that you can apply across tracks
      • ruaok
        zout: as root or as you
      • ?
      • zout
        as me
      • maybe because I installed the machine once?
      • nechto13
        nobody knows them, they are losers.
      • zout
        I don't use root account
      • ruaok
        likely
      • nechto13
        no one has heard of them ok
      • ah fuck it
      • ruaok
        zout: I stopped forwarding mail from root to you. that should stop it
      • aimaz
        morning all
      • zout
        thanks!
      • hi aimaz

        hello
      • i have a question about the tagger is anyone able to help?
      • rowaasr13
        What question?
      • spartigiss
        i am searching the faq's
      • i am running the tagger
      • when i go to save the new file and tags it says
      • "can not remove existing file access denied"
      • maybe because the when i look at the properties of the mp3/folder its read-only?
      • rowaasr13
        Are your files by any chance read-only?
      • Sure.
      • spartigiss
