        hi all
      • 2006-08-12 22413, 2006

      • sxcbello
        wondering if someone can help me with data from musicbrainz
      • 2006-08-12 22425, 2006

      • sxcbello
        does anyone know how I can get the full list of artist names from musicbrainz?
      • 2006-08-12 22408, 2006

      • slaad
        To what end?
      • 2006-08-12 22409, 2006

      • sxcbello
        well I know I can download the full database but it's in prosgres
      • 2006-08-12 22420, 2006

      • sxcbello
        xml webservice doesn't give complete list only per artist
      • 2006-08-12 22432, 2006

      • slaad
        A complete list would be insnae.
      • 2006-08-12 22436, 2006

      • slaad
        Insane, even.
      • 2006-08-12 22439, 2006

      • sxcbello
        basically want it in xml format
      • 2006-08-12 22442, 2006

      • ruaok agrees
      • 2006-08-12 22447, 2006

      • slaad
        And I struggle to comprehend a situation where that could possibly be useful.
      • 2006-08-12 22453, 2006

      • sxcbello
        like www.musicmoz.org gives a dump of it
      • 2006-08-12 22457, 2006

      • ruaok
        sxcbello: if you want just the artist list, download the main data dump.
      • 2006-08-12 22402, 2006

      • sxcbello
        well situation where it would be possible
      • 2006-08-12 22408, 2006

      • ruaok
        then look into that file and look for the file called artist.
      • 2006-08-12 22412, 2006

      • sxcbello
        is say u have an autosuggest type thing
      • 2006-08-12 22417, 2006

      • sxcbello
        where u want to have a list of artists
      • 2006-08-12 22422, 2006

      • sxcbello
        so as u type the list is filtered
      • 2006-08-12 22432, 2006

      • ruaok
        sxcbello: we have nothing like that.
      • 2006-08-12 22433, 2006

      • slaad
        That would require requesting such a list from the server.
      • 2006-08-12 22444, 2006

      • slaad
        Which would place a reasonable amount of strain upon it.
      • 2006-08-12 22458, 2006

      • sxcbello
        yeah I'm just testing some stuff out I do agree that a huge list is insane
      • 2006-08-12 22414, 2006

      • ruaok
        sxcbello: download the datadump and then parse the artist list with a script.
      • 2006-08-12 22421, 2006

      • ruaok
        its not hard to do -- its just a text file.
      • 2006-08-12 22421, 2006

      • sxcbello
        yeah that's what I'm thinking
      • 2006-08-12 22433, 2006

      • sxcbello
        is the datadump the only way to get the list
      • 2006-08-12 22438, 2006

      • ruaok
        yup.
      • 2006-08-12 22447, 2006

      • sxcbello
        was more asking if there is a webservices or library that can can querty that
      • 2006-08-12 22453, 2006

      • sxcbello
        I guess the database it is hehe
      • 2006-08-12 22431, 2006

      • sxcbello
        is the datadump in b2k format?
      • 2006-08-12 22444, 2006

      • sxcbello
        posgres format right?
      • 2006-08-12 22453, 2006

      • ruaok
        tab delimited fields in UTF-8
      • 2006-08-12 22407, 2006

      • sxcbello
        mbdump.tar.bz2
      • 2006-08-12 22412, 2006

      • ruaok nods
      • 2006-08-12 22414, 2006

      • sxcbello

      • 2006-08-12 22424, 2006

      • sxcbello

      • ruaok

        hehehehe oops
      • 2006-08-12 22434, 2006

      • sxcbello
        it's just if the data keeps changing
      • 2006-08-12 22441, 2006

      • ruaok

      • 2006-08-12 22448, 2006

      • ruaok
        yup. :-)
      • 2006-08-12 22406, 2006

      • ruaok
        if you want the data kept up to date, you have to tap into our live data feed.
      • 2006-08-12 22416, 2006

      • ruaok
        but you need to install postgres on linux.
      • 2006-08-12 22422, 2006

      • sxcbello
        nahh I can live with once a week updates
      • 2006-08-12 22445, 2006

      • sxcbello

      • 2006-08-12 22449, 2006

      • ruaok
        then you best write that script and download 300mb
      • 2006-08-12 22411, 2006

      • 2006-08-12 22450, 2006

      • ruaok
        no, that is a separate table. see file aliases
      • 2006-08-12 22403, 2006

      • ruaok
        no, the include things like collaborations.
