MB doesn't do genres

ummm

ya

genres are subjective

but check out http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/PicardQt and the Last.fm plugin

So you too can have your Paris Hilton files tagged as Brutal Death Metal...

:) exactly

You mean Brutal Death (by being beaten to death with a poker made from) Metal?

BrianFreud: when wiki pages "don't work" make sure that you add the missing end bracket

should it be alright to add more than one GENRE-tag in the same music-file, or will music players be very unhappy?

you can put whatever you want in your genre tags

emilime_ is now known as emilh

one genre I use is "Hard Rock/Heavy Metal"

I use the genre "music" on everything. Saves a lot of headaches.

:)

yup

ok, but it would be nice if people could be somewhat consecvent, then I could create a script for links with the same kind of genres

end brackets get left off urls

oh well, the other link was good

Until I realised I had standup comedy marked as music... Doh!

maybe i just should write mine own script which fetches all genres from last.fm

thought there was one

emilh: you could, but like I said... check out http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/PicardQt/Plugins

cooperaa: afaics it was a music player

PicardQt is a tagging program

aah

written in QT :)

BrianFreud: do you have any examples on hand of cover art ARs?

I've only added or voted on a couple and I can't remember the artists

not at the moment, but if you check Nirvana, almost every pressed boot there has one

ought to find as many you need there :)

k

Jugdish added a bunch too, if you search his recent edits

ah, I think I found one I added

when you talk to that site,

might also be good to stress that the images can come from archive, so it's no extra burdon on their server

oh well I was just going to say link direct to them

but archive is an option too

well, if youi direct link, each time it's pulled their server gets hit

yup

cooperaa: the release 'gaijin smash' from 'science big ten' has cdbaby art

science ninja big ten

thanks, I've found one though :)

anyway, noght all, cross your fingers for me, I have a test tomorrow

night*

good luck!

cya

bah whats wrign with snb10?!

hmm

s/i/o/,o/i/

catgroove is now known as nightgroove

natta!/natt

natta :)

k dinner then hw

ttyl guys

night mo

sen! finally

the tonspion website doesn't have anything about older volumes of their sampler ¬_¬

on http://www.tonspion.de/mp3.php?id=2882&stil=3 they talk about the remixes but the download link only goes to the website of the faint

and http://www.tonspion.de/mp3compilation.php only has the current one

hi shep!

hmmm

i think that might be reason enough to remove the "album"

what about ytou?

I there was something strange about the release year but I can't find that now

i put the year on there :p

ah, there it is: http://www.tonspion.de/info.php?id=1100&sti... - here they present the 24th mp3 compilation and the news is from 2005..

so how can 22 be released in 2006? :)

i had no proof :P it was based on the year it was added

ah

well other than that I couldn't find anything helpful :(

was there *any* older volumes availible than this Noisedeluxe Labelsampler thing?

at least that you saw

nope

i submitted a remove album edit, thank you for your help shep

np

is anybody else getting multiple copies of ruaok's posts on the ML?

I didn't, but I get the disgest

digest that is

Jugdish - you're an autoeditor, right?

nope

oh, lol

I need to get http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6962666 through asap - don't want to make things even more confusing in there

hrm

you cant approive a merge

oh yeah

hmmm, could you two throw it a yes?

modbot eventually will kill it, but I want to get rid of the spare before anyone uses it

Sure.

:)

only problem with cotm... we all end up doing the same things at the same time :P

weren't you saying before that those 2 bands corresponded to different eras though?

pre- and post-BM&TW

yes - but the "The Wailers Band" he created is the same post-BM one as the one I created

oh

there's a 3rd TW, the pre-BM&TW one

hence why I want to get rid of as much confusion here as possible :P

he just named it wrong - so I'll edit his name instead

he used wiki's name, not the band's official name per their own site

pong?

Jugdish: ack

nvm

hmmm, in all the last.fm news, this seems to have been missed...

Fox announced they're buying Photobucket and Flektor

Never heard of either of those. :P

photobucket's a free image storage site

Jugdish and I use it all the time

Flektor I don't know - seems to be a slideshow site

$250 mil for photobucket

that would suck if the acquisition involved changing all the photobucket urls :P

So, last.fm, photobucket, flektor, myspace - is MB the only big community site not owned by the giants yet?

MB isn't that big if you ask me...

I see enough sites built on MB data - starting to be the top hits on google for a lot of searched

It's not a childish community site. (no offence :P)

not MB, nessesarily, but the data from MB

(If anyone adds friends to MB I'll personally kill them)

MBChatLogger, off

is not logging

is logging

lol, well, myspace I'd agree - the others, though, are "web 2.0" service types of sites, not "kiddie community" sites

Facebook?

well, last maybe, but not photobucket

Flikr recently went somewhere, didn't it?

yeah - all that type deserve to be bought

Yahoo

Technorati folded. Digg. Someone get Digg.

but now they're going after the service sites too

that worries me more

"Google news buys Digg." BWHAAHAHAHAH.

Slashdot bought long ago too

Who owns that linux.com/sf/slashdot/etc. ring?

have to double check, the name's kind of wierd

Thinkgeek too. :o

OSTG owns /. VA Software owns OSTG

Owned by VA Software, apparently, can't find a superowner.

Bah. :p

OSTG also now owns SourceForge

hmmm, didn't realize they'

they'd bought ThinkGeek too....

and linux.com...

so yeah - who's left? :)

Sourceforge can stay, thinkgeek is okay (but needs to be better in the uk), all the rest of those sites can die. :p
