OMG

What to do when a song on an album is attributed to a band you are certain is not the performer?

This must be some other kind of "Sky High", but are not in MB yet.

UncleRemus: You search for information about that artist and create it.

srotta: I don't know, I have no idea of what they are. Well, one idea, they're NOT Sky High, blues band from Sweden. :D

UncleRemus: Do a bit of Google research and finally you'll end up in conclusion that it's some portuguese hobo who just wandered into a club.

UncleRemus: I've sometimes searched for information for that kind of artists. Typically they are some trance artists, and all the information you find about them is one single Brazilian compilation of hot dance tunes.

Damn annoying.

hi nikki

I was wondering if you had any idea why I keep getting CreateFKConstraints.sql:602: ERROR: could not write to hash-join temporary file: No space left on device when I haven't run out of space

you don't have different partitions?

I do

how much space on /tmp?

which is where /tmp is

is the database stored on a different parition?

yes

I assume this is postgres? tbh, I have no idea how it works :)

and yes

so the data partition has enough space?

the database's partition has 440mb free now and the folder I told the script to use as a temporary folder is on a partition with 10 gigs free

I'm not up to scratch with telling postgres how to do this sort of thing

I think uses the database partition for this kind of temporary files

oh right

It does.

The cluster's folder.

and if I cat the drop and then create fk constraints sql files I get "ERROR: constraint "fk_artist_tag_artist" for relation "artist_tag" already exists" :/

buggy scripts :(

yay for copy&paste, FK between label_tag.label and label.id named fk_label_tag_track

Hhe.

hmm. how do I update just that file?

the one you just updated, that is :)

svn update will take a filename.

mmm, svn

Svn. <3

git <3

git's actually super easy to use

Tee hee hee.

yep, git is easy to use, svn can merge branches and cvs can rename files

Svn 1.5 has merge tracking and some semblance of sensible client-side merging facilities. :)

s/has/will have/, release it already, dammit.

luks: now, now...

It's intersting that as I re-rip (/buy) CDs the average bitrate of my music collection goes down, as vorbis -q5 (and even -q7) average ~140-220kbps, far less than decent mp3 rips. :/

I've reripped most of my oggs back to mp3s.

Eeew. If only because of id3 tags. =p

heh. yeah

srotta: rip to flac!

AB/ABX says those vorbis settings are pro enough for me. At least, until I buy a sound-card. (Any wild suggestions?)

FauxFaux|: Initially I did everything to ogg, but it starts causing issues when sharing music

My MP3 player doesn't play oggs. It's pretty likely the next one won't play them either. I have the CDs so I don't need flacs to assure myself the quality is good enough, and they are even worse for portable players. And ripping the same music multiple times for different purposes is waste of time.

<them> "what's ogg?"

Pfft, anyone who can't play vorbis is probably a dirty mac user.

FauxFaux|: or a dirty windows user

which cuts out 95% of everyone

The illumananatable stuff isn't that bad, and nobody uses windows media player anyway.

srotta: yeah, good point

And all the other directshow based players suck. \o/

My view is that if my iRiver breaks and I can't find another one to buy, the transcode from vorbis down to some ~160kbps-style vbr js mp3 won't be noticable on crappy travel headphones.

Yeah, it probably won't, but I don't want to go transcoding every time I want to fill my player with music.

I stick to the format that works everywhere, for me.

My housemate stores flac, vorbis -q5 and that level of mp3, three exact clones of the same music collection. :/

Yeah, I've had pretty weird mates as well.

Also, wrt transcoding, I can probably transcode faster (over 80* realtime) than I can write to my iRiver's hdd. :)

Certainly faster than I can pick music.

If you want to do that, by all means. 8)

there's an mp3fs that automatically transcodes flacs

Heh, I was thinking about writing a shell extension. Or, y'know, a three line foobar macro, that'd probably be better.

I wonder if/how mp3fs handles metadata

LotR: can only use id3v1

since they need metadata to be a fixed size to calculate filesize for stat()

I see

D:

isn't there some field in v2 that noone uses anyway, which they could use as filler, and just report a higher amount than it would be?

There's no need.

id3v2 tags can have padding

Yeah.

or that :)

but you can insert practically anything to a mp3 file

a copy of the file in flac encoding, maybe :D

D:

can someone tell me the difference between the DISC, DISCC, DISCNUMBER, and DISCTOTAL fields in an ogg/flac tag?

Picard only seems to use Discnumber, even though it has a place for totaldiscs.

neat, thanks
