So so much that needs tagging that I'm not even going to introduce it to my library until it's tagged immaculately

Since I bought my new machine, foobar default search is fast enough for find as you type again. \o/

They sit on a seperate partitiion :)

does foobar do track/album ratings?

`duckman joined the channel
2008-02-15 04631, 2008
cooperaa uses ratings so he can just hit play and let his media player pick the songs he should be listening to
2008-02-15 04640, 2008
aCiD2 has never had luck with that
2008-02-15 04656, 2008
FauxFaux
aCiD2: Put that in your ~/.$SHELL_profile file, it tells the terminal to go into utf-8 mode (ie. when you're using default putty over ssh etc.)
2008-02-15 04600, 2008
cooperaa
once you get the majority of your good stuff rated... it's just a matter of setting up a good playlists
2008-02-15 04637, 2008
FauxFaux
I should use ratings, but I'd be able to do album ratings just by typing in the names of about three serieses of cds (bet Muzzz can guess them) and giving them five star, and everything else 1. :P
2008-02-15 04651, 2008
cooperaa has 15,286/24,322 songs rated
2008-02-15 04656, 2008

FauxFaux: did that, and then source'd it - ncmp still won't display accented e's and a's though :(
2008-02-15 04625, 2008
aCiD2
"Error: Unable to convert characters to ANSI_X3.4-1968" from ncmpc, so maybe that's the problem

petros: foobar looks very nice (in many user's screenshots) but I could never get mine to that point... doesn't really matter now though. I listen to my iPod for almost 8 hours a day so it's slick integration with iTunes is what's most important right now

anyone know if you're charged long distance for receiving a long distance call?

halfway across the country no?
2008-02-15 04608, 2008

cooperaa: no typically.
2008-02-15 04619, 2008
ruaok
but here in the US you get charged airtime for receving a call.
2008-02-15 04622, 2008
ruaok
not so in europe.
2008-02-15 04628, 2008
cooperaa
so if I have unlimited nights/weekends, my parents can call me long distance and I wouldn't get any changes?
2008-02-15 04630, 2008

if you have unlimited long distance, you should call them,.

save them money.
2008-02-15 04609, 2008

I hoped so... but would've been quite pissed if they called and I got charged for it

lol, sounds actually rather like what I’ve been trying to figure out all day
2008-02-15 04605, 2008
cooperaa
like a text box to type them out
2008-02-15 04629, 2008
dholmes_
I'd like that, with IntelliSense too
2008-02-15 04610, 2008
dholmes_
So it drops down menus when you start typinh each part of the sentence
2008-02-15 04615, 2008
cooperaa wikis IntelliSense and says "cool"
2008-02-15 04639, 2008
cooperaa
but it could be just like the "Relate to..." lookup we have
2008-02-15 04658, 2008
cooperaa
once you type in a name and then enter an AR word like performed/composed/produced/etc
2008-02-15 04603, 2008
brianfreud
ok, for the geniuses like FauxFaux, a challenge. I still cannot figure out how to take this input and make it into a nice, useful array
2008-02-15 04605, 2008
cooperaa
it would put the lookup below the name
2008-02-15 04613, 2008
dholmes_
Yeah
2008-02-15 04628, 2008
dholmes_
Just combine that with the ability to do it for a whole sentence instead of the last part ;)
2008-02-15 04651, 2008
brianfreud
same XML has both; the top is ARs+names, mixed, plus tracks-all-together. the bottom is separate in the xml, track by itself, roles, name. http://musicbrainz.pastebin.com/d124189ba
best case, I would like to end up with arrayPerson[name][role, track]
2008-02-15 04637, 2008
brianfreud
yes, need to transform both halves into an array in js
2008-02-15 04616, 2008
brianfreud
(a separate array of just array[roles] would be useful too...)
2008-02-15 04632, 2008
FauxFaux can't remember how the xml stuff works in javascript at all. :/
2008-02-15 04636, 2008
brianfreud
lol
2008-02-15 04656, 2008
brianfreud
I can handle the code end, but the logic of how to parse it I’m blocking on
2008-02-15 04633, 2008
FauxFaux
In theory, it'd be painfully simple with any xml parser.
2008-02-15 04632, 2008
brianfreud
well, yes, to just feed each of the three into an array. But not to split the <tracks>1 to 5, 8, 11</tracks> into <track>1</track><track>2</track> etc and still keep the values...
2008-02-15 04659, 2008
brianfreud
nor the multiple roles within the same <role>foo, foo, foo</role>
2008-02-15 04623, 2008
FauxFaux
Surely those are just .split(", "), or whatever js calls it?
2008-02-15 04602, 2008
brianfreud
yes, I can split on the commas, and check for “1 to 10” and transform that,
2008-02-15 04616, 2008
brianfreud
but how to actually combine together into some reasonable array?
2008-02-15 04646, 2008
brianfreud
At some point, I will need the user to ID what AR each unknown role is talking about, and to match each artist to an MB artist.
2008-02-15 04656, 2008
brianfreud
I’d like them to only have to do that once for each role and artist
2008-02-15 04614, 2008
FauxFaux doesn't understand what you mean, sorry. :/

2008-02-15 04610, 2008
brianfreud
parse in [person, role, track] over and over. That’s easy. But then how to combine it together, so that instead of, say, Tori Amos having 29 entries in the array, I can index them all to one Tori Amos.
2008-02-15 04616, 2008

goddammit!

2008-02-15 04653, 2008
FauxFaux
You mean, you want a map of, say, your_variable["Tori Amos"] = an Array(thing1, thing2)? JS can do that.
2008-02-15 04627, 2008
brianfreud
how?
2008-02-15 04647, 2008
