"is a mashup of"?

if the tractitle on theartist website doesn't explicitly say so

yes

i c

guess that makes sense

all the mashups by Joe Noone go under him, instead of accross 50 different bogus vs artists...

exactly

*exactly*

whoo fun http://faux.no-ip.biz/mergeproblems/artistnotyp...

The problem is that it's normally an unheardof guy that does the mashup between two well-known artists.

it is?

Ime. :)

Ime?

In my experience.

oh

For the, like, 20 I ever tried to research.

well set it to [unknown] if no research gives it

probably after a

øafter o

hn

so that's whats wrong now

I have no music on

I wonderd why i wasfeelign so sad

hey, Richard O'Brien's in this... I'd never have guessed

BrianFreud: I just ask postgres to do it for me, it's utf-8 aware afaik.

I see

So faux, every time you import a new dump, all these reports get updated for our fixes, right?

or are they one time reports?

BrianFreud: They're all "live" off my database, not even generated (which is why they're so slow. :p)

very cool :)

If I can get the damn reporting framework off the site to work I'll contribute some of them. :/

that woul be very cool :)

the suggested stuff to fix list of reports looks very lonely with just the one totally fixed ASIN report

FauxFaux: so if i'm bored (or not bored enough) i take one of those pages and work through it...

We could add the whole of http://faux.no-ip.biz/mergeproblems/ to it if you want, BrianFreud. ¬_¬

that needssorting by type

Eh?

'ie' has artist differencing' 'has release data differencing'

I was thinking about better ways to display the data, I have a tabled design under (aha) design, give me an afternoon, catgroove. :)

okidoki!

yes... but most are so full of... correct wierdness... a bit unuseful for suggested stuff to fix

halso an arrow on each page, bnot just to next previous page, but first last also

aah brain

like the questionable character report - everything at all that has anything non a-zA-Z

they've been fix0red

ya

but http://musicbrainz.org/reports/generated/NoLang... and http://musicbrainz.org/reports/generated/NoScript/ are cool

If you can come up with reports or criteria, no matter how crazy, I'm willing to try. ;p

hmmmm

lol

http://musicbrainz.org/reports/generated/Superf... <-- always a goodnoe

ok, how's this for crazy? releases with idential tracklists, times within 5 seconds of eachother, and where tracklist of A is say 99% fuzzy identical to tracklist of B?

. o O ( if /(Ensemble|Quintet|Quartet|Collective|Orchestra)/ set type = 'group' )

the two existing dupe reports don't ever seem to identify any dupes

cord: yes

if (artistname includes &) set type = 'group'

BrianFreud: Heh heh heh, that certainly wins the crazy award. I'd probably do <5 seconds off cdid first.

ja

wtf people being crazy http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7045641

releases with any title which includes the words "hidden" or "unreleased" or "bonus" next to the word "track"

mo: it's one of two someone posted on users... they're arguing that DVD stuff ought not to be treated like CD data tracks

hence that vote

BrianFreud: Bet you can do that one with the search.

hey guys :)

FauxFaux: Sure, but you're easier :D :D :D

guys, Im writing an essay on whether to download music or not from an ethical perspective

do you know of any good resources?

you read the article I linked to the other day?

BrianFreud: http://musicbrainz.org/search/textsearch.html?q...

yup, I've got that one :)

might try a google search for sites linking to that article, I'm sure you'll find more than a few others

the internetz has made me purchase more CD's than before

like, wouldnta even heard of j-pop or k-thrash :DD

it's made me buy stuff I'd never have seen at the local music store more

exactly

just my recent purchased things'

much less mass pop crap though

frank zappa

yup

lots more artist-direct

but the record industry wants you to consume that crappy pop shit

so? LOL

Gaijin Smash!!

:) just saying

SNB10++ #for awsomeness

SNB10++ #and songs about tentacle monsters

what was that persons name again brian? jan?

sounds right

Like, example, take Norah Roberts... My fiancee worked in a Chapters when her first cd came out.

in a chapters?

canadian chain bookstore

that is so grammatically wrong on som any levels

They were told they each would be fired if each employee couldn't convice 50 different people to buy the cd.

WTF

crazy

lol

hence, wonder of wonders, the cd showed up the next week at #1 for Chapters sales

wow

no wonder we get those that are o n the top of thelists to be on thelists

yea. thats capitalism

its all rigged yahear! RIGGED

The top secret plan is to buy everything whilst it's on white-label. :)

I love the intarweb! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics_of_file_sha...

copy. paste. done essay

the inter-butt FTW

nei

Without reading that, I think file-sharing is completely inethical and illegal, doesn't stop me from doing it though. :)

FauxFaux: what does the ~1 indicate in that search string?

BrianFreud: "Within one word of"

ok, ok

ah, ok, that is

Hee hee.

FauxFaux: I don't know... A friend of mine has been busting her ass to try and make it as an artist while starting her own label

faux, yes unethical and illegal - it imposes on the rights of the copyright owners

BUT

She sells CDs, and does college shows,

but she actively encourages people to copy and distribute her CDs,

to get exposure

http://faux.no-ip.biz/mergeproblems/?page=1 <--- /me waits folr the day when two disks of the same release are handled as ONE release in MB

Cord: It's coming, it's coming.

NGS baby!

That's not what we mean by file sharing, BrianFreud. :)

fileshairing is illigal, but not unethical

because 9 out of 10 times

it makes one *buy* more

atleast me and mom

True. Now, buying stuff second hand.

if i like it, I buy it

Well, the CDs still say don't copy. But she *encourages* people to pop it on p2p and torrent sites, for example

/That's/ unethical.

if i don't like it.. i just delete the file :)

FauxFaux: yea.

lol

second hand vinyl ftw

(second hand vinyl)++
