        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?
      • Shepard` joined the channel
      • Freso has quit
      • 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
      • vulturejoe
        i don't have the harddrive space
      • VxJasonxV
        300GB for $80

        could someone give these edits a push so i can tag this release? http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/results.html?...
      • AMurderofCrows
        isnt renaming them going to mess up the PUIDs?
      • be better to add track 13, & renumber tracks 13 &14 to 14 & 15. that wont mess the PUIDs then
      • Synchro joined the channel
      • BrianG
        i added the PUIDs after
      • AMurderofCrows
        ok
      • eFfeM joined the channel
      • pushed :)

      • csnoop
        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... ???
      • keschte
        its broken too
      • try it on test.musicbrainz.org, its waiting for a new bugfix release
