        http://www.discogs.com/artist/Venus+(5) thats your Venus VXjasonv
      • VxJasonxV
        wow...
      • nice cover art for that 'trance heaven vol.1' album >_<
      • so, I'm led to believe she's an alias artist. but no idea who...
      • ah well, just added a new one
      • mudcrow
        if the other two Venus in the db dont have either of those two tracks credited to them, create a new Venus and link to that discogs entry to make it easier to identify
      • VxJasonxV
        god it
      • got*
      • ugh
      • if you enter a country... release date should NOT be required.
      • I know the Dancemania series was only in Japan, hell if I know dates though
      • mudcrow
        http://www.discogs.com/release/447261 gives you a release date there
      • Aankhen`` has quit
      • VxJasonxV
        well then I'll have to mod that in afterwards...
      • ...why isn't there a discogs import? ;_;
      • Probably because there's no API they provide, and scraping would be a pain in the ass, yes?
      • MartinRudat mutters about not being able to find the minimum info to enter a release from the back of the cd...
      • mudcrow
        using the track parser is easy for copying info from discogs
      • VxJasonxV
        cripes. I told it to create a NEW venus artist, and yet it went ahead and linked it to a previously existing one. sigh
      • mudcrow
        http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006... is the amazon link for dancemania 22
      • yeah its buggy when you try to create a new artist if one already exists with the same name. easier to create the artist first, then link the track to it
      • Aankh|Clone
        Aankh|Clone is now known as Aankhen``
      • VxJasonxV
        This I've now learned
      • ...I can't figure out if I did this right or not
      • the fact that the Venus artist on that album isn't highlighted is bothering me
      • I thought I relinked it to the new venus artist ( artistid=364263
      • )
      • but... should it be showing up in yellow on the new AND old artist page?
      • djce has a lazy day... hide from the sun, too lazy to go and interact with the public.
      • mudcrow
        yes it was correct Jason. and i've approved it so it should now be showing under the correct Venus artist
      • VxJasonxV
        gracias
      • are you 'teleguise' ?
      • mudcrow
        no i'm mudcrow :)
      • VxJasonxV
        we have a third person working in here :P
      • mudcrow
        tele is coorect though. you should be using guess case to correct those capitalisation errors
      • rpedro joined the channel
      • VxJasonxV
        blah blah blah, yes yes, I know :P
      • was too caught up in finishing it
      • I manually fixed a few, but I should have hit guess all
      • mudcrow, I don't believe this is a compilation because not all of these tracks are previously existing
      • mudcrow
        it is a compilation. I would consider any VA release like this as a compilation
      • VxJasonxV
        ok
      • Can I note vote on my own albums?
      • that is, mods on albums I've submitted
      • mudcrow
        :) only if you are very sad
      • you can delete any edit you've made that is still open
      • VxJasonxV
        oh wait, you guys are probably automods. The proverbial "word of god"
      • Aankh|Clone joined the channel
      • mudcrow
        automods are really no different from any other user. We just usually have more experience of how MB works. Doesnt mean that a automod word is law
      • VxJasonxV
        well, I know it's not word of law
      • however, you can close it, not have the 24 hour wait time or whatever
      • MartinRudat wonders if there's a DeusExMachina moderator... =)
      • mudcrow
        I dont need to put most of my edits to a vote, and I can autoapprove other peoples edits (except deletes)
      • VxJasonxV
        that was my point :P
      • case fixes don't require moderation?
      • mudcrow
        no, casefix are automods for everyone
      • VxJasonxV
        didn't know that
      • mudcrow, you know what would be awesome?
      • the ability to upload cue sheets...
      • I (sadly) don't have one for that particular album. Have a few lying around elsewhere though

      • catgroove
        good moaning!
      • mudcrow
        hi catgroove
      • VxJasonxV
        is there any reason why submitting PUID/MBIDs doesn't fill in track lengths?
      • catgroove
        hi mud!
      • VxJasonxV: because you're not adding the tracktimes and puids have nothing to do with tracktimes
      • VxJasonxV
        does examining a CD send track times?
      • catgroove
        no
      • but submitting a disc id will set the tracktimes after 24hours
      • well dunno about 24 hours, there's a script that runns
      • VxJasonxV
        ... you know what's funny?
      • MingVase joined the channel
      • I didn't want to submit track times because they might be off by a few seconds
      • catgroove
        hi mingvase!
      • pfft a few seconds is nothing!
      • VxJasonxV
        then I Realized that if a NONSTOP MEGAMIX had differing track times after being ripped, I'd have bigger problems on my hands...
      • MingVase
        G'day mo.

      • nikki_ yawns
      • VxJasonxV
        what in the world
      • catgroove
        hi nikki
      • VxJasonxV
        There is a Tomorrow (Georgian Compilation) (Hyper Dance Mix) Ulfuls <-- that song is called "Ashitaga Arusa" and has no such remix name
      • I lied, ignore me
      • catgroove
        ok
      • VxJasonxV
        not hard to do :P
      • MartinRudat
        okay... /ignore VxJasonxV =)
      • VxJasonxV
        D
      • D=
      • actually, I have a legitimate question about "virtual releases"
      • since some people just /have/ to have things romanized
      • should I clone this release, and create a new one with the original japanese?
      • catgroove
        excuse me because I cant read kanji/have unicode on my sydtem :p
      • VxJasonxV
        (this sucks, it's ONE track that I want to have in japanese :P)
      • catgroove, OS limitations notwithstanding :P
      • catgroove
        VxJasonxV: YES please
      • VxJasonxV
        you should consider fixing your depressing limitation though :D
      • catgroove
        fix your won limitations asshat
      • VxJasonxV
        D=
      • ouch
      • MartinRudat
        ...but I can't read japanese, what point is there in my having japanese fonts installed? =)
      • orogor joined the channel
      • VxJasonxV
        you can learn.
      • catgroove
        also VxJasonxV: sure, if you give me the moiney! :p
      • VxJasonxV
        I do my best to learn by association/memorization (until I sit down and learn the language entirely)
      • catgroove
        learnign is hard I have 101 things and I only knw a few hirqagana
      • things to do *
      • MartinRudat probably should dig out that book he's got on learning japanese...
      • lol
      • VxJasonxV
        you don't have to learn the whole language...
      • like I Said, I get by on association
      • catgroove
        but seriusyl insulting the people lwho need transliterations is not the way to go
      • VxJasonxV
        I didn't insult you D=
      • catgroove
        please make a duplivat with the kanji
      • nikki_
        I've found that learning hiragana and katakana goes a long way to being able to tell japanese titles apart
      • and hei mo
      • catgroove
        yes and I know a bit
      • but I still lcant have unicode i nym textfiles
      • and I wont unless I a) get knowlagable enoughto use linux
      • b) give ina nd get XP (wich costs money and since I gate xp, will never happen anyway)
      • hate not gate :p
      • MartinRudat likes the romanji, if only so he can pronounce the names of things, rather then 'that bunch of inscrutible squiggles', as opposed to 'that other bunch of inscrutible squiggles'...
      • MartinRudat: XD
      • yes, agree :D
      • VxJasonxV
        second question... please tell me there's an easy way to 'clone' a release?
      • nikki_
        MartinRudat: romaji
      • VxJasonxV
        probably not, since it's not exactly practical ;_;
      • catgroove
        yes, use the trackparser
      • VxJasonxV
        oh
      • catgroove
        if it came for ma freedb import use that and clone the tracktitles ontop of it
      • Shepard
        my head.. :(
      • nikki_
        aww!
      • catgroove
        dakar shep
      • hi shep!
      • Shepard

      • damn
      • VxJasonxV
        nope, all manual D=
      • catgroove
        then use the trackaprser!
      • MartinRudat
        nikki: really? I could've sworn it had an 'n'... pays to read what's written, I suppose...
      • VxJasonxV
        I am! D=
      • catgroove
        so whats wrong with that+its eqasdier than importing from freedb for heavrens sake!
      • MartinRudat hands Shepard an asprin?
      • wtf is wrongh with my typing today
      • MartinRudat
