        Can anyone here tell me if the server will 'throw away' a disc ID that appears to be incorrect for a release?

      • adhawkins
        Guess not :)

        • 2006-11-20 32439, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        The fact that you can have >1 disc-id/release suggests not.

        • 2006-11-20 32412, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Basically, what's happened is that I've written some software that appeared to be incorrectly calculating disc IDs for some discs

        • 2006-11-20 32422, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I've added these incorrect disc IDs to the relevant releases

        • 2006-11-20 32434, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Some of the track times given by my disc IDs are obviously wrong.

        • 2006-11-20 32457, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        Get a database dump and find ones that don't match the release times. :)

        • 2006-11-20 32421, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I was hoping that the server would regularly do a 'sanity check' and dump any disc IDs that appear to be incorrect.

        • 2006-11-20 32458, 2006

      • adhawkins
        For example this one:

        • 2006-11-20 32400, 2006

      • adhawkins
        http://musicbrainz.org/show/cdtoc/?cdtocid=177143

        • 2006-11-20 32404, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        The query is feasible, not aware of the server doing it, though. :)

        • 2006-11-20 32408, 2006

        Applies to this release

        • 2006-11-20 32410, 2006

      • adhawkins
        http://musicbrainz.org/album/e2d4719c-34d2-445f-a…

        • 2006-11-20 32433, 2006

      • adhawkins
        The release says track 1 is 16:49, my disc ID says it's 4:00

        • 2006-11-20 32400, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Another way would be to get it to drop all disc IDs that I've submitted :(

        • 2006-11-20 32436, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        Someone who has a local copy of the db should be able to run the query for you?

        • 2006-11-20 32443, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Right.

        • 2006-11-20 32455, 2006

      • FauxFaux doesn't fancy a ssh over vmware over rdp over ssh gauntlet today

        • 2006-11-20 32455, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I think that would probably be the safest bet, for someone to just remove all disc IDs I've submitted.

        • 2006-11-20 32405, 2006

      • adhawkins
        That'd catch most of htem, I don't think many other people are using my software

        • 2006-11-20 32437, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Can this be done 'automatically' or do I need to trawl through my history of edits?

        • 2006-11-20 32424, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        By hand, or, at least I did when I submitted a whole load of puids incorrectly. :/

        • 2006-11-20 32435, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Ok, I think there are about 30 of them

        • 2006-11-20 32435, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Hmm...it's not quite as simple as I'd hoped.

        • 2006-11-20 32442, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I can get a list of all my added disk IDs.

        • 2006-11-20 32408, 2006

      • adhawkins
        But it gives me the TOC format, not a disk ID

        • 2006-11-20 32417, 2006

      • adhawkins
        So when I go to the release, it's not easy to tell which is mine

        • 2006-11-20 32438, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        Mm, indeed, a pain.

        • 2006-11-20 32417, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Should be relatively easy for someone with direct access to the database to remove them I'd have thought?

        • 2006-11-20 32426, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Is ther anyone I can contact regarding this?

        • 2006-11-20 32458, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        Just sit in the channel flaling madly, but they're likely to tell you to enter the edits.

        • 2006-11-20 32408, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I might try an e-mail to support [at musicbrainz]

        • 2006-11-20 32442, 2006

      • FauxFaux ponders a cunning way of doing it involving wget and sed.

        • 2006-11-20 32428, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I think it'd take me longer to write that than it would to manually do it ;)

        • 2006-11-20 32407, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        Hmm, not so. From http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/results.html?mo… you have the (short) discid and releaseid, whcih is all you need to get the edit page.

        • 2006-11-20 32436, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Aha, I did an advanced edit search.

        • 2006-11-20 32450, 2006

      • adhawkins
        That gets you the disc ID as a TOC entry for some reason.

        • 2006-11-20 32422, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Ah, for the 'add disc ID' entries, it's listed as a TOC, not a Disc ID

        • 2006-11-20 32402, 2006

      • adhawkins
        And if I click on the release (the only place I can remove the Disc ID from) it lists it in disc ID form, not TOC form

        • 2006-11-20 32457, 2006

      • adhawkins
        See what I mean?

        • 2006-11-20 32402, 2006

      • adhawkins
        Or am I being dim?

        • 2006-11-20 32405, 2006

      • adhawkins hopes not...

        • 2006-11-20 32402, 2006

      • adhawkins
        I guess I can pick out the tocid from the URL, and then match that up to the URL on the release page?

        • 2006-11-20 32458, 2006

      • FauxFaux
        Grr, I do with sed used perl regexes.

        • 2006-11-20 32404, 2006

      • adhawkins
        This has all been caused by an odd CUE file being generated by cueconvert

        • 2006-11-20 32442, 2006

        That really isn't the best way of doing it.

        I did that only once, and it was a dupe

        if the string is too long, itunes is unable to read any tags from an mp3

        heh

        • 2006-11-20 32437, 2006

      • luks
        how long?

        • 2006-11-20 32401, 2006

      • luks
        it will have problems with anything above 16kB, due to the bug in 2.4 frame sizes reading

        • 2006-11-20 32410, 2006

      • luks
        or is it 32kb?

        • 2006-11-20 32412, 2006

      • luks
        hmm

        donno exactly, still have to determine that, the following is causing errors: Reels: Mrs. MacLeod of Raasey / The Shetland Fiddler / The De'il Among the Tailors / The Fairy Dance / The High Road to Linton / Miss Girdle / Dancing Feet / Clean Pease Strae

        it's stupid to use such a long title but still...

        • 2006-11-20 32406, 2006

      • luks
        i don't think that's related to the length
