#musicbrainz

Hi guys. Any proper editors around? I added an artist which was an autoedit, and then added the first release for the artist, which now has a change pending...

Can someone vote that in for me? I have the CD here and I know it's valid...

Why do you desperately need it voting in?

I added it so I can 'verify' it at home, since my scripts verify against musicbrainz

and i can't listen to it until it's verified, that would totally, you know, go against the order of things!

mke: ?

mke: It's "in" the database as soon as the edit is entered, it can just be removed again. :)

why don't you just tag it and listen, it doesn't have to be accepted for you to find it via picard or similar

FauxFaux: hm. i tried searching for it, but i can't even find it...

anyway, paste the edit link and maybe I will give it a vote

mke, you need to use direct search

mke: The search indexes aren't updated very often.

aha, i see.

< mke> FauxFaux: hm. i tried searching for it, but i can't even find it

Are we talking about Maddy Mccann?

funny. :P

McHawt.

You cunt

OMG, it's german!!

I just spewed apple tango all over my tv :(

it is indeed. i hate hiphop, and i hate german hiphop even moreb

but these guys are awe. some.

hmm, i have to go, thanks all anyway. take care!

mmmm

anyone want to look at the latest prototype for album view? imho, looks sweet :)

html on the way :)

:)

ignore the code - rough and ugly to get the proto done :)

You're not DCCing it right?

lol, have somewhere I can toss it instead?

Erm good point

Got it :)

:)

I just hate irssi and DCC

true, but easy for small stuff with no server to host it

lol

Right, finally got it

This irssi instance is on my office machine

Oooh perty

IT's a bit... wide

And the images a tad to big, could kill two birds with one stone ;)

well, the idea is that the images be configurable,

Mmm

so you can set how small or big you want them in prefs, and it lays out the listings accordingly

That could effect displaying the release data though

:/

yeah, any smaller than this in image size, I don;'t think the components could shrink more

but you could double the cover image if you wanted, etc

It's too big if you ask me

Nightmare on the minwidth :/

actually, it ended up looking almost ipod to me :P

Don't make me use the 800x600 test!

:P

lol, I design on 1180x768 - right now, it's all just absolute positions, to get stuff in the right place

Mmm

idea is that, done right, it'd wrap the divs to fit your screen

How would it handle artists, like say, Iron Maiden whom have a hell of a lot of albums

page after page :P

:/

Not sure I agree with that, makes it more tedious when tagging with picard and the browser manually

rather, screen after screen, all on one page

Or just finding releases in general

this isn't for tagging though

it's the "no editing, just showing cover art and basic info" view

Ahhh gotcha

suppliment to the current view, not a replacement

I can see this view being useful for editing though

the other half of the idea, which I've not re-proto'd, is that you could flip to edit mode in this,

Like picking up opn missing ARs

for release-urls, and it'd go single release per row

like http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/brianfreud...

yup

oooh

Hmm

earlier version of the view proto was http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/brianfreud...

Maybe when I get back to my flat and it's awesome connection, and have my mythtv/new dev server set up, look into giving you some webspace

lol

that'd be cool :)

Shouldn't be too hard, given you know how to use ssh and a linux terminal :P

mv cp rm and mkdir, possibly all you'd want :P

yeah, I can dredge the old UNIX out of the recesses of my brain :D

ok, new proto'd edit mode (ignore that the text fields are all unaligned...) http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/brianfreud...

hola the unalignment is really problematic

brianfreud: the stuff about release-event is not immediately clear (bottom)

i mean, you get it after looking at it a 2nd or 3rd time but it's irritating

eh

more so than now?

it shall be relaxing!

brianfreud: erm

in terms of not IDing the columns, I mean

brianfreud: yeah because it's also stretched

in both modes, or just edit mode?

1990 United States Official <- makes it hard to read

brianfreud: no the other was good

In view mode there's really just not the space, but I guess in edit mode there's plenty of space :)

have to stretch it some, cause

1990 United States Official

could also be

1990-10-12 Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Bootleg

well, given that date, I guess it couldn't quite be that country name, but lol, you get the idea :D

Fuuuuuuck

ouch

Yeah :(

brianfreud: btw it's me d/c

o_O

brianfreud: ah

brianfreud: well ok but i think it's more important that it's readable and recognizable rather

so something like

d/c?

1990 / United States / Status: Official

brianfreud: deadchip..

and:

ah, ok

1990-10-12 / USSR / Status: Bootleg

would be much better

no matter that it's not always "column aligned"

yes, but then if you have 5 events, they don't line up

well ok _if_ you have more, then you can make them line up

but with just one there's no need to strecth the columns, and it looks confusing

wouldn't just column titles in edit mode be cleaner?

brianfreud: but at least please add "Status:" in front of the status

brianfreud: yeah or that

right

well ok if there are column headers then Status could be one of them and it serves the same purpose

even for people who know their way around MB it can be confusing i think; at least it requires a 2nd look which ideally shouldn't be needed

sweet christ

i thought, ok for fun, i could code there a little, but it's all so mixed up

ok deadchip, try this one http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/brianfreud...

theoretically, too, if/when we ever have the ability to attach ARs for cover and such directly to the events, the line(s) in events could also be selectable here, to switch between the different ARs for those events

yeah ok this is better except, maybe the headers should be a shade of the grey background (slight blue?) instead of similar to the overall header

maybe not a really important difference

but generally it's good
