but the discog/bio etc

not necessary

I can see that the separate discography link might be useful to datafeed customers even if it goes to a page on the official site

inhouseuk: i'll jsut make my own discograpy and link to it so people will stop pouting ;)

that's one way of doing it

well that is true

mudcrow: a lot of bands have a slightly different url for the store too

yes

or a redirect to their label or cdbaby or something, where you may not find it easily without a link

store

yes, I'm all for direct buying from the artist or the artists prefered retailer.

unless it's itunes.. apparently

itunes is a pain, I dislike anything that forces you to install software to view something, or any link that insists you sign in to view something

understandable

I use itunes and still half the itunes links just show a page saying I must have itunes to view

i used itunes music store for the first time the other day. i have to admit that it has great features and a sweet front end.. being able to preview songs and leave reviews and such, but everything under the hood just skevees me out (DRM and ACC or M4a and such)

hmm... am I the only person that thinks the UK eurovision entry sounds like a rip-off of Where Is the Love? by Black Eyed Peas

meeh eurovision

havent heard it... and have no wish to

we had dragqueen competitors here

but they didn't win

go finland!

:D

I can't find http://musicbrainz.org/album/52995ef2-adcc-45ca... on amazon.com

nvm

hmm should it be (alternate version) or (alternative version) ?

:P

what is "it"?

alternate title

that's what I thought

thanks

the site agrees with me. hah!

alternate and alternative are much the same thing

it seems the 14 track version is out of print

the 14 track version is the american version...

remember my Uriah heep editing?

now i'm going to standardise it and add asin links :D

oh wow. amazon has vinyl

hmm how annoying, http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007... does not have the same tracklist as http://musicbrainz.org/album/0840cc91-bcf3-49cb... do you think its the same still? cover maches

see http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000071WFQ

but it says import

I'd say its an error on amazon.uk's part as the same ASIN at amazon.us shows 16 tracks

see this is wy an amason link is not proof that a certain tracklist exists

thank mud

I'll link it and write i n the annoitation

amazon.de has 16 tracks for the same ASIN too

does it say impoert to?I'm trying really hard to avaoid imports if I can

http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000071WFQ has a very nice complete track listing to

if I want to buy it.. i'd like to buyfro ma non import store

ja jøss

but all amzazon would be imports for you

yes

so I'd rather not import an import

:)

gaaaah!

dammit amazon.

why do you keep deleting things!?

pluss its good basis to work with keeping imrts at a minimum

whats happening?

it's deleted a single I wanted to link to

shite

use the UK ASIN and make a note that it shows the incorrect track listing

yes. thanks mud

>_<

I'll just have to link to a bloody import

damn.. dakar nikki

so much for "an asin is the same on every server"

isn't' that's why we gave ruaok all the choco

and he STILL HASN'T DONE IT

he HAS

he what?

omg

yes, he did it ages ago

on tst?

test

yes.

wtf

sorry

it's just waiting for the next server release now

I didn't get the memo

aaahh

arg server release

do you know when that is?

when it's ready

shhhh

it's an open source project, I could give you a date but I doubt we'd meet it.

I wish some of the amazon stores would sell swedish music

catmo: i don't know what happened with the ASIN i've added, since i had JS turned on

maybe i was too quick :)

some very few random albums show up on .de, and the really big ones sometimes on .co.uk

yay black dog again

and oddly there are quite a few on .co.jp too, but hunting them down across all of them is usually pretty sad

yes

I will use the annotitaion to link jp links, they sometimes have katakan tracklistings

will add once multiple tracklists per album is on

that will l be fun

anyone got a script to search all the amazon's at once?

do I get to add english translations to norwegian albums?

dunno

but you can with the a9?

i think i have a konqueror shortcut for that, i will see if i can't steal the query outof it and toss up a page

a9 usually only searches one of them for me,maybe it's an option

its an option

you can chose jp, uk and de afaik

and ca too

it default searches com

oh yeah, you can add them as other columns

that'll do

lucky i have a wide screen on this machine heh

lol, that gives bizarre results

oh?

searching for john hiatt's "warming up to the ice age" gives me it as an import on all of them

searching .co.uk directly shows it there, as not an import

which is kinda bizarre, given the artist (why would he have this one 20 year old album remastered and re-released in the uk)

the asin is the same on them all though, neener neener

amazon == wtf

omg I love this opera

it has not inbuilt spell check

zomg joy

it has now*

heh, that's cute

his official site discography suggests you visit a fan made one for better info :)

lol

(which is fair enough, us music nerds are way more obsessive than most of the artists are :)

how.. sinsere

sincere?

aw whatever

:)

well, he's got all the albums, but the fan one has full lyrics archive (I guess approved too) and catalog info and stuff

sweet

even for all the compilations and soundtracks, this is a treasure trove
