lol, agreed - if I could set this properly, it'd be something like "Source Material"/"Professional"

yeah, that's where the real sustainable income is delivered.

it's the music equivalent of enterprise-grade software

absolutely

it just doesn't quite fit the classes we use for commerical music

i ahve a friend who's been hired to write/arrange music for one of the reality tv "dancing shows... he delivered 400 charts last week

probably cheaper to hire someone to create original stuff than license other stuff

teh reason he was hired is that's his ability to write orchestrations on--demand is a dying skill.

hi

any spanish speaking people in here?

my buddy began is his career in the 60's/70s -- teh glory days of the "variety show"

http://rafb.net/p/GmnvSo21.html <-- Suspicious, very SUSPICIOUS.

http://faux.no-ip.biz/mbreports/mergeproblems2.php <-- right, fixed ui, fixed the speed down to 22s bulk data gathering and <1s per short page.

No appologies for the poor quality of the php or the html it generates. :P

still trying to load :D

timing out on your server again FauxFaux

Can you use .py on Windows, or do you have to compile it or something?

you can use it, just have to have the right version of python installed

Alright, thanks.

like luks' puid script, it only works with 2.4, not 2.5

Exactly what I'm going to run. :)

fun fun

let me suggest, go back about 2 weeks in the chat logs

Mo and myself and a few others had to fight with windows to get it working

just about any possible error you could get is in those logs

you also will need an installed copy of old picard

Hmm, I've got QT installed... Pretty sure I'm not going to do this right now in that case.

Probably going on a tagging rampage at some point. :P

well, you need the puid generation libraries out of old picard

Ah, I think I read something about that.

you can still be running QT - just need the old version around so you can snag the libraries you need

or actually,

if you can accept dcc, I can zip up the whole working directory, with the libs in place

then all you need is python 2.4 installed, and you're set to go

I think my router hates DCC, but you can try.

ok, compressing now

just unrar to some directory somewhere, and you ought to be ok

Alright, thanks a lot.

np

it's a mess to try and re-create

lol

:)

BrianFreud: Hehe, my connection just went down, perfect timing. Okay now?

SerialNumber: if it won't go through, I can just email it to you

I think it's transferring now.

yup there it goes :)

FauxFaux: trying again

timing out again :)

Might be that my ISP has done some changes. Before it seemed impossible to do anything DCC-related.

BrianFreud: Sigh! Trouble-makers, the lot of you. :p

lol

Right, it's actually fixed this time, I actually bothered trying it externally. Damn powercuts. :(

lol

ooh, pretty :)

Oh yeah, I'm not appologising for the style or design either. ;p

hehe

it's actually a whole lot easier to read than before

That was the plan. :)

Just a minor question...

Artist name? :)

Hah, I was just typing "No, you can't have the artist names.".

haha

See what you did now? It's all slow. :(

SerialNumber: It doesn't matter where you put the directory, just unrar it somewhere. Call it from a command line, within that dir, with "pythonw puid_submit.py (path to music root folder)"

Yeah, no, you can't have artist names. :p

lol, ok

not too big an issue anyhow

I thought only catgroove liked artist names, which is why I waited for him to go sleep. ¬_¬

well, they're minor - the release is borked no matter who the artist is

Do you remember the report I mentioned last night?

I could change it to a big red X, but you may as well have the info there, imo. :)

Ummm..

lol

some url fixes fail, even when voted or approved in

Ah yeah, that one.

say I have www.amazon.com/B00012345 and I fix it to www.amazon.com/product/gp/B00012345

If there's already a url in the database with www.amazon.com/product/gp/B00012345, the edit will fail

Indeed. I was thinking about it. :)

that subgroup of urls needs to be removed and readded in order to be fixed

right now, only auto-editors can tell which those are

(fix, autoapprove, notice it's still borked)

It's on my (previously empty) todo list, but now, sleep.

lol, ok

BrianFred: I uploaded it on my webspace, so if anyone else asks, it can be found at http://koti.mbnet.fi/conectac/PUIDSubmit.rar

*BrianFreud

BrianFreud: Do I have to put in my username somewhere in here?

Read the first few lines of the .py file, SerialNumber.

yes

Hmm... That's a pretty unsafe password, Brian. :)

lol

not used much

Since it has your password, I think I'll delete the one I uploaded and send a "clean" version

lol, I changed the pw at MB anyhow :)

but thanks

Ah, good.

forgot it was in there

BrianFreud: I wasn't really paying attention earlier, something like http://faux.no-ip.biz/mbreports/out.html (still generating)?

That's literally "ASINs that exist in two or more urls".

well, it's basically,

take borked ASIN. Fix it. If "fixed ASIN" is already in the database as a different urlID, the edit to fix that ASIN will fail

That's close enough to what the report shows, right? :p

so it'd be a list of those borked ASINs which, if fixed, are already in the db

yup, that's it

and the count's about right too

Yes, it's /still/ generating. :p The count is the same as the badasins report,.

that makes sense

all the ones that survived both ojnkpkg and I going through all the bad asins and fixing them

It's not the number of items that are going to appear on the page, as it does't knoiw htem yet. :)

only the really borked ought to be left

Appears that my computer doesn't recognize the command pythonw... I should probably try after booting?

did you install python for windows 2.4?

Yeah, I did.

Or 2.4.4

Might there be a difference between 2.4 and 2.4.4?

try using c:\Python24\pythonw blah

Alright, I'll try.

Logging off and logging back on again will do, or closing (hopefully just) all the command windows you have open.

it may not have added itself to the system paths

FauxFaux: yup, I'm seeing a lot of "already visited url" coloring on this report

just what we'd expect :)

thanks :)

and sleep well

Good night!

Remind me to rename out.html to The "Really Bad" (tm) Amazon ASIN Links Report when I get up. :p

(Pimp my edits: http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7145320 http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7145323)

lol

Faux... editing?

lol

Musicbrainz is my personal tag managment software. ;p

lol

yeah, eventually I'll have all of my releases in there

only another 3000 or so to go :)

You run a major record label, or something? :P

hehe, nah

just been working on coverting everything to digital since 1995

*/converting

even back then I was doing it all in 256 :)

Heh, I need the hardware to rip (or, hell, play) vinyl. :/

Anyway, really sleeping this time. *flee*
