yes, that was what I meant :)

so, you got sound going?

alastair1 is now known as alastairp

Hi ruaok!

oh, wow

browsing tagged albums + cover art on xbmc is awesome

I just need a bigger TV so I can see more at one time :)

hi FauxFaux

how are things?

got rain?

its blasting hot here. :-(

about time

can finally get the washing dry :)

alastairp: yeah, though oddly, the driver has sound playing out from the input jack :P

brianfreud: nice

what make/model?

als4000

hmm. I got one of them

I stopped using it because software mixing didn't work out of the box

it's got a way better sound than my ac97, though

yeah, I couldn't get my other 2 cards to work, but this one, with some tweaking, no problems

got software mixing to work too :)

did you have to hack around with config files?

yeah, though I couldn't now tell you quite what I did to get it to work

:P

sure

I might give it another go some time, I want to get jack playing nice with pulseaudio at the same time

only little bit of bizarreness is that Ubuntu keeps wanting to play the intro sound through snd-pcsp

chefkoch_ is now known as chefkoch

album cover says "Miles Davis + 19"

as opposed to just "Miles Davis"

it is miles + 19

miles, orchestration & arrangement by gil evans

miles didn't have those skills ;)

yeah :)

same with sketches of spain

so should the artist technically be Miles Davis?

yeah, and porgy and bess :)

and that one too

I don't think the other 2 davis/evans albums say Miles+19 though

let me think on it a bit... looking for the best way to avoid the politix

sweet

if you want to get truly hardcore about it, these are truly gil evans albums "featuring miles davis)

yeah, that starts getting into the whole classical composer/performer thing

but

those 3 albums were written by other people

yep, and these albums qulaify, IMO

eg porgy and bess == gershwin, or evans?

gershwin arranged by evans. that will cover the lambert, hendrick and ross as weel

and then there's the ella & louis porgy

sketches of spain is rodrigo, if you wanna go there too.

yep

so let's take some time to develop a cogent approach

miles ahead gets even more crazy

otherwise we'll get flamed from all sides (including classical)

it gets hard, because I really don't want to see anything other than "Miles Davis - track n" when I play it

do you know of dmmpanda (the ultimate jazz geek)?

I don't think i've had the pleasure

oh, he's awesome

i'd contact him via MB e-mail, and ask his opinion. he's quite approachable

dmmpanda [at users.mb...]?

then we can coordinate... yes i think that will work

right-o

*puts on list*

maybe when I hit hols

it's a an issue with the michel legrand albums, some andre previn, don sebesky, wynton marsalis, and duke ellington too

chick corea also

ornette coleman, yusef lateef...

I can see it being trouble with anything that has standards on it

(or non-original stuff)

yes, aas those mostly derive from musical theater

this'll be my next question... :)(

with follows CSG for the most part

*:)

sonny boy williamson? oh yeah

not that album in particular

I have about 7 others

but given the commentary on the quality of the liners above, you're gonna want panda in your corner

4cd sets, themed around a particular artist

but most of the charts are standards

right :)

yeah, i understand

it's a good purchase value, but know that the liners may be incorrect

hmm, yeah - that too

dmppanda (two p's, one m)

thanks mikemorr and you should weigh in too :)

and pbryan also.

alastairp: what i'm trying to say is build your "clique" ahead of time

right :)

I'm trying to enter information for a CD by a band with two names. They go by Tidal Wave when they're playing in an english speaking area, and Raz-de-Marée in french speaking areas. Both names are considered "official". What name should I put them in as?

/ is there any way to enter it that gets all the information?

what's on the CD?

what is the language on a particular CD?

alastairp: jinx

Both. It was released in Quebec and New England

All the text is in french and english.

dolphinling: you could create a "performs as" advanced relationship between "Tidal Wave" and "Raz-de-Marée"

or vice versa. where is the band from? Quebec?

I think some of them are from Quebec, some from the US

ah

Yeah, they kind of make it difficult, don't they? :P

either way the relationship would work

we need some laws governning this kind of behaviour :)

dolphinling: See SameArtistWithDifferentNamesDiscussion in the wiki

so, cdparanoia crashes at the same place that cdrdao does

hmm

cdda2wav is OK though...
