cd /where/you/downloaded/the/files

right

ls *.tar.bz2 -lsa

jacknetgb: I just made a symlink from where it expects the data to be to another drive... has been working fine for ages so far :P

thats what the guys on postgresql told me to do also

Err, -lsha even for readable file sizes

Third column is file size, if they're not the same I'd suspect you didn't download the entire file heh

if they are the same, do you have enough space in your /tmp directory to extract the files?

they seem to be around the same sizes e.g. mbdump is 473M and it says 483749 KB on the ftp

does that seem fine?

Yeah, what about what nikki suggested?

ive got 1.5g free in my on my / drive

Nowhere near enough

i shall go up it

About 15GB should do

Hmm

just for the /tmp folder that database is on the other drive now?

Oh, just for /tmp about 10GB free I imagine

Given that it's 7GB when imported or so

you can change the location of the temporary folder it uses

its alright now ive upped the drive size

Is this a VM or something?

yeh

i need another computer to run mb on really

Depends what you're going to do with your install, if it isn't going to be public facing or under heavy useI wouldn't worry too much

hmm vm isnt picking up the change in drive size

Use the --tmp-dir=/alternate/place/to/unpack/tars option then

according to http://www.discogs.com/release/1146793 it seems ther are two different *versions* of that release, if even the music is different, there should be different releases addet to mb

eg. the regular release and the "commercial version"

Er, wtf?

uh yes?

Bit random of you to bring it up :P

i just came home now, so soue me :p

What would you guys say the best free IRC client for windows is?

?

irssi

thanks ill take a lool

look*

whoever he was.

hello

i am asking mysqlf how to calculate the size of an id3v2 tag. i read the http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0#head-697d09c50ed7f... ... but dont get the calculation: The ID3v2 tag size is encoded with four bytes where the most significant bit (bit 7) is set to zero in every byte, making a total of 28 bits. The zeroed bits are ignored, so a 257 bytes long tag is represented as $00 00 02 01. ...... in my calculations: hex 201 = dec 513

axu: try hex 102

clint: 258

axu: which is 1 off from your 257

clint: yes, but one of meas i would cut a chunk of the first mp3frame if id remove the id3v2 tag accoring to my miscalculation

mhm, some garbage above, but it should make some sense anyhow ;9

i intend to create checksums of mp3frames only. so the checksum doesnt change if the id3v2 tag changes.

Well, they are seven bit numbers.

srotta: yes, 4x7

srotta: got a clou how to get 257dec out of 00 00 02 01

hex

Yeah. 2^8 + 1

"Hex" is also a representation of the bytes used to encode the length.

srotta: ok, theres 257 :) but i still dont get it :( where could i get further information on this. or. whats the searchphrae?

"also", I meant only.

Since the most significant bit is always zero, in this case there's nine significant bits, so 201 => 100000001 in binary.

srotta: sorry, but this doenst make sense to me :(

100000001 = 0101 hex

Forget about the hex.

ok

ill try

You can't use straight conversion since we're talking about seven bit numbers.

Let's do it the other way round, maybe that helps.

8)

So, 257 = 100000001

:)

No divide that into seven bit groups => 10 0000001

Add the most significant bit and padding => 00000010 00000001

Turn that into hex => 02 01

srotta: mhm, ok, i think things are clearing up a bit.

So there's the "extra zero bit" which isn't part of the actual number.

srotta: so for reverse calculation i convert 0201 to bin, then cut after the 7th bit and add the right 7 bits to the 2^8 calculation ?

aeh

no

Muzzz, btw, your ASIN tool at http://muz.goatse.co.uk/musicbrainz/asinsearch.php is erroring, says it doesn't have your AWS key

i ment. right7bits^8+ leftsevenbits

no, the otherway around :)

is any of you using alternative tags? for i find id3v2 to be a real mess in means of parsing..n stuff

i personally dont need metainformation, pictures, or other files embedded in this max256mb big gtag

navap: ive seen it but, not in the wild also i didnt take a closer look at it. ill google.

they should have made id3v1 tags 256bytes big and i would be happy :(

The Hydrogenaudio wiki has some info on it if I remember correctly

navap: thanks, nixe comparison between apev2 and id3v2

Your welcome :)

good afternoon brainzers

Hello

good morning imo

so what if its after noon!

sigh

SenRepus has joined #Musicbrainz

:p

sweet jesus.. the forecast for tomorrow morning is -17c

remind me not to go outside

ok, thanks folks, have a nice day

Wizzcat: Where?

are there any more reliable track descritions like that on amazon?

I just gut the madagascar 2 soundtrack that is not in the mbdb and amazon doesn't seem very reliable at this release?

!

srotta: Trondheim, Norway

sonium: google the barcode and find out? :)

Wizzcat: Damn.

It's close to zero here :|

already found some more reliable source

I quite like the cold really, as long as it's not too windy

So do I.

And anyway, it's easier to deal with cold than it is with heat.

yeah up until something like -20C
