        Egh, let me see if I can do something else with it then.
      • cause I already added the corrected.
      • inhouseuk
        ah!
      • Nyght
        can I make it plays guitar?
      • lauri
        inhouseuk: so I put my arguments and my probably futile yes vote on there anyway :)
      • inhouseuk
        Nyght: not sure, you can try
      • lauri: yes, if you want :)
      • ruaok
        nikki_, catmo: I never heard back from you guys on #1090 -- can I close that now?
      • nikki_
        you did!
      • I told you it worked and noticed that .ca sucks
      • remember?
      • pae joined the channel
      • Nyght
        Okay, it worked. :) thanks, sorry!
      • pae
        hello again :)
      • nikki_
        'cause you had to explain why .ca went to .com
      • pae
        can somebody explain to me what do the little boxes next to track names in picard mean?
      • what kind of similarity do they represent?
      • nikki_
        ooh croatia
      • the file's tags compared to musicbrainz's data
      • pae
        ah
      • ok, another question
      • the "analyze" button
      • it has something to do with the music ip service or sth.?
      • nikki_
        yes
      • pae
        can you explain?
      • nikki_
        it tries to guess the track by analysing the music, asking the musicip thingy about it and seeing if the puid it returns is in musicbrainz
      • pae
        aha
      • I thought it went something like that :)
      • inhouseuk
        pae: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/HowPUIDsWork basically explains the process
      • mudcrow
        guess? I dont think they would be happy with you saying their software "tries to guess" :p
      • nikki_
        mudcrow: it being picard
      • ruaok
        nikki_: but I am not sure that I can do something about the .ca issue -- remember me saying that?
      • nikki_
        ruaok: yes, I do.
      • inhouseuk
        lauri: unfortunately your AR idea would need coding work or creating of a Eurovision Song Contest artist as you need to have two sides to a relationship
      • nikki_
        people are creating all sorts of silly artists these days.

      • lauri
        inhouseuk: I was thinking a [Sweden] with strict instructions it's only to be used for the EC discs
      • and make me and cthulu-fi subscribe to them all so they don't get abused :)
      • inhouseuk
        lauri: it would be better to have the country and year as an attribute on the AR
      • lauri
        yeah, I mean, url AR's don't create a two way link do they, or ASIN's
      • pae has left the channel
      • inhouseuk
        umm, they do, but to URL's, they are held in their own db tables
      • lauri
        I meant a two way link on the site
      • inhouseuk
        in fact only the country would need to be an attribute and the date functions on the AR could be used to indicate the year
      • lauri
        i realise they have to have endpoints in the actual entry though
      • (and I was seriously offering to go through all 100 odd albums and do the entering of AR's, although I also realise that is the least of the work)
      • inhouseuk
        it looks like it is one way, but the URL side of it is actually stored in a table and the AR then uses that as the other side of the link
      • lauri
        there's probably not 100, there weren't so many entries to need 2 discs in the early years

      • inhouseuk
        nikki the mail came from Slovenia. The website pointed to had 3 ip addresses spread across the Bahamas, Poland and Spain
      • nikki_
        inhouseuk: I was kidding.
      • inhouseuk
        i know
      • I must admit it was one of the most complex I had seen. The url was well hidden within some js
      • ruaok thinks the band !!! will cost his sanity
      • ruaok
        and I thought "the the" was bad.
      • mustaqila
        "Various artists" is bad
      • ruaok
        lucene can find that. :)
      • mustaqila
        Good point
      • nikki_
        ruaok: you were sane to start with? :)
      • nikki_ thought we were all insane around here.
      • mustaqila
        It's all comparative nikki_
      • All comparative...
      • ruaok thinks the band !!! will cost him _the remainder_ his sanity
      • *of his
      • You're starting to lose it ;)

      • nikki_
        gecks: I usually have it all in mb long before I listen to it ;)

      • lindestinel joined the channel
      • Kerensky97_
