friend works there, got me a $25 license

Nice!

it's decent, but I actually liked parallels more

that would be a pretty darn sweet deal if you ask me

only reason I keep using it is so I don't have to call my own company's tech support line

and re-activate vista

lol

hey thats still more than half price

thats soo sad

man... closing in on the goal finally

~35k mp3s run through picard

heh

i cant get the repository working for picardqt

it wants the gpg key :(

35k! wholy crap and i thought i had allot at 16k

I think I'm only a few hundred files from being done

last hour or two I started just deleting anything that didn't match instead of bothering to research/add-to-mb/etc

lol

i've been there

i lost my library a while back and i left a redundant copy with my friend a Long time ago and hes totally anal about keeping meticulous backups of all of his data so i got itall back but pre organisation

ouch

so im just not looking forward to doing something i've allready done again

I have a raid5 nas thing storing everything

heh

now see i would like a raid5 but i think a raid6 would be much better you can have upto 2 drives fail before its manditory you replace them

offsite backup. if my house burns down, atleast i still have my music.

yea... I just need to get another big disk

warp, it would be nice to have my stuff organised first before i even think of rsyncing again

notchamunks: i'm only syncing /mnt/music/tagged, the organized bits so to speak.

notchamunks: especially with rsync, try to start early. it took my a few weeks with my uplink to rsync the first 100gb :D

warp: you're actually doing off-site via the net?

warp, ok that make sense im thinking of just rsyncing the drives i have personally than moving them offsite afterwards lol

I'm just gonna buy a disk, copy and then mail it

lol

l8nite: yes, nothing ever changes in those dirs, except adding new music.

I'd need a stable offsite host to do a permanent rsync solution

yeah after the initial transfer im sure its ok

i would love to set something like that up at some point

l8nite: when i bought my music harddisk, I just bought another one and stuck it in a computer at work.

warp: that's what I was just pondering

I hate the evil empire

microsoft's compliance-nerds are a bit touchy about crap like that though

I think I could get away with my buddy's place

hehe

l8nite, well thats basically what i do

you could also consider doing this two-ways with a friend or family member, yeah.

l8nite, i just gladly give my friends copies of my entire library or anything i need backed up that way i have redundant copies i didnt have to pay storage for

hehe

i want at some point to learn some bash scripting so that i can rsync these things automatically via cron jobs

shouldn't need any bash, just a cron entry and the rsync command

I don't do this via cron btw.

hey it works i had some 8bit nes cover music that i never ever ever thought i would see again and my one friend actually had a copy of it :)

warp, you actually run it yourself every now and again?

I just start the sync script whenever I have added some new music.

yeah that makes sense

also allows me to listen to it at work the next day, so backup isn't the only motivation.

If I'm gonna go through the hassle of getting a machine/disk set up somewhere, I'd just make it regular

especially because my time-machine backups and such are on that drive too :)

err... a "friend of mine" has a tonne of music from a certain oink.cd website that is all high quality about 3000 songs or so

you mean the one that just got raided?

heh

MBChatLogger: off

is not logging

is logging

basically just looking for a way to make sure when media folders are combined that they stay relatively discernible from each other

and, enough work for today, i'm heading home :)

yea "organized/" and "crap/"

:P

warp: laters

warp, cya

so would any one know how i add the gpg key for the ubuntu repo?

which repo?

man gpg? :/

sudo apt-key add /path/to/the/key

l8nite, not even close lol

lol.

luks, the key in the repo doesent seem to be valid ftp://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/users...

that would be my gpg key (http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/user...)

but don't use that on gusty

can you point me to the gutsy .deb?

I'm trying...

kus i've been poking around a while i just want the newest thing i can use

OOOh deb repositority goodness ooooh

thanx

YAY the repo works like a charm thanx again

all done

l8nite, man that must have been like passing a kidney stone

yea... I've been at it since last thursday

lol

god thats not making me look forward to my library lol

oh is there a simple way to remove duplicate tracks with this?

not really

I've been doing it manually

ok well one thing at a time i suppose

wow that looks allot different

time for some breakfast and work email :)

bbs

ooh yeah breakfast i should download some of that :P

that sounds like a good package

so whats a good reliable match percentage?

deadchip_ is now known as _

_ is now known as deadchip

notchamunks, (ignoring the nit-picky bug I mentioned to luks) I've been very happy with 75% puid, 70% for file lookups, 75% for cluster, and 85% for file to track

MClemo, I had a question about http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7635621

low enough normally you get the right release, without having to find it manually, but high enough that if your tracks don't quite match right, you won't end up with them in the wrong release

brianfreud, ok sweet now to relearn the picard ui

picardqt, I hope :D

yep picardqt

finally

lol it was such a huge disaster me trying to find a good gutsy repo for it lol

luks, helped me out with that one

symphonick: hm, it's only spoken word but not exactly out of one book. I guess I'll have to figure out how its for other comedy releases

spokenword I guess

what release?

well, but there are music performances as well

I really don't know now... :)

I don't speak German, so I can't read the AZN page...

Are these original recordings, or is it a compilation?

amazon at least thinks its an audiobook. One that might be similar is a 5cd one I need to add at some point, The Partly Cloudy Patriot.

the words aren't new, they are performed by different persons for the first time on this release

It's a audiobook/spoken word performance, with some scattered music tracks thrown in occasionalyl

I'm thinking spoken word as the category for it, when I add it...

yeah, it's spoken word with scattered music

that's what it describes best

"Biermösl Blosn" - music & the others text?

yes

I guess it comes down to is the music supporting the spoken word, or is the spoken word a track or two among mostly music?

in my example, I figure 10 minutes total of music accross 5 cds of spoken performance would be "music supporting the spoken word"

4 tracks music, 17 text if I'm right...

yeah, that seems like spoken word to me

_/topic

then I'll change it to spoken word?

sounds right to me
