Yes. Picard is release (or album) based, while Classic was track based - from what I understand.
Keiron|Away
that's not so much the issue, it's just classic was automated
I mean, it would do everything for me if I told it to, Picard needs user intervention every time I add a new album, which for me would likly take longer than just editing the tags by hand
that's why I wasn't sure if I was using it right or not
but anyway, I need to go pick someone up, I'll be back in like 30 min'ish

hey, how do I tag musepack files with picard? all my .mpc files are getting listed as error files
tro joined the channel
what's the status of musepack compatability in picard? the website lists it as compatable, but picard won't tag my tracks. Can anybody help?
Muz joined the channel
can anyone help me get picard to work with musepack files?

does picard work with musepack at all?
VxJasonxV
I think that's what mpc is... isn't it?
vulturejoe
yeah
picard won't do anything with my mpc files but move them to the error files folder
do you know if I'm doing something wrong or anything?
VxJasonxV
make sure they're not readonly?
VxJasonxV shrugs
I know nothing about musepack
I stick to my ogg (flac/vorbis/etc.) bubble and am quite content with that
well, I have a boatload of mp3's, I can't lie about that
but that's because computer music is synonymous with mp3's
music on a computer, that is
vulturejoe
yeah, musepack is supposed to be better optimized at higher bitrates though, so I thought I'd try that
VxJasonxV uses flac, and transcodes as necessary
VxJasonxV
can't get much higher quality than compressed but retaining bit for bit exactnessss
be better to add track 13, & renumber tracks 13 &14 to 14 & 15. that wont mess the PUIDs then

I'm stuck in the Add Release wizard
It tells me it's missing some required fields but none of the fields are empty nor have a different background color to mark them wrong or something
inhouseuk
csnoop: does the artist exist
csnoop
Wel, it did a freedb import for a new artist (Leya).
The first steps made me add the artist
and now the artist name is shown on top of the form and linked to it's mb page, so I guess it's recognized correctly
inhouseuk
yeah, the artist is there
csnoop
All the tracks have a nr, title and length
VxJasonxV
MusicBrainz needs a more 'live' notification system
I'd like to know whenever a vote is cast, a note is added, anything happens to an open mod
that sucks for e-mail, so I vote jabber
csnoop
the release is named, attributes and language and script are given and two release events are entered.
But below the tracks there still is a "Please enter all the required elements of this release. The missing (or wrong) input fields are marked with a background color."
inhouseuk
hmm, try removing one of the release events
csnoop
It is removed on doing a "continue", but the warning remains.
AMurderofCrows
you get an email for every note added Jason, and you can always look at your open edits to see the votes
csnoop
Hmm, If I check "show track artists", all the artists show up empty
(although the release has an artist)
:O Fixed it
inhouseuk
csnoop: ah! it obviously didn't pickup the artist because it was being created earlier in the process
excellent
VxJasonxV
AMurderofCrows, I'm well aware. But I'm lazy, and I'd like to be able to react to things at a moments notice
csnoop
it's a bug, but by first making it a various artist and then converting back to single artist
VxJasonxV
XMPP (Jabber) can provide that reaction time :)
I always have a jabber client up, I don't always have e-mail open
csnoop
Do I need to file a bug somewhere or is this something you can look in right now?
inhouseuk
csnoop: I think there is probably a bug report covering that, I'll ask the developer of that screen a little later and if not raise one
csnoop
perfect.. I like the new import style much better than the old one, it's really a smooth process.
I did miss a few things though, like adding an official website relation for the artist and an amazon id for the release.
nikki_
hmmm.
inhouseuk
morning nikki
nikki_
hi hi
I wonder if we need someone to step in with this french capitalisation thing and just give some ruling on it.
inhouseuk
yes, it is getting rather silly :)
AMurderofCrows
getting?
inhouseuk
admittedly I haven't followed the whole thread
keschte
inhouseuk: oh, this seems like a break in the release editor bug
the track artists are missing :-)
inhouseuk
keschte: yes :)
keschte goes to squash it
nikki_ hands keschte a tissue to wipe up the bug afterwards
keschte
hmm, some more disgustedness
a mouse drowned in the pool last night
nikki_
o_O
BrianG
keschte: are you squashing the same bug i asked you about yesterday?
keschte wonders if the cats chased her...
AMurderofCrows
I had a mouse get into my toaster once, didnt notice until after I started toasting some bread. The smell of toasted mouse is not the best way to start the morning
BrianG
gross
keschte
hehe, eek
BrianG: help my flawed memory
BrianG
<csnoop> It tells me it's missing some required fields but none of the fields are empty nor have a different background color to mark them wrong or somethin
VxJasonxV
hum
someone remind me how to use the track parser?
it's sucking miserably
BrianG
i couldn't find that bug in trac
VxJasonxV
It's currently formatted as: ##.TRACK TITLE - Artist
I have the 'All tracknames start with a number' option checked... but... ???
