        ?

      • xlotlu
        because i had multiple <ul>s at the root level, instead of <li>s

      • xlotlu
        i didn't figure it out back then, and you didn't quite pass it across :)
      • 2009-03-12 07114, 2009

      • xlotlu
        figured it out now by mistake that my query returned multiple "roots", hence the multiple <ul>s

        ok I just fill in the fields of MusicBrainz Picard and ��������� in the MusicBrainz Tagger, but the problem remains

        by MusicBranz Tagger you mean the old, unsupported, tagger?
      • 2009-03-12 07126, 2009

      • nikki
        morning luks!
      • 2009-03-12 07101, 2009

      • nikki was wondering if they were talking about the old one
      • 2009-03-12 07119, 2009

      • sp1it
        yes, It,s 3rd Party Tagger. but I'm having problems with the identification of music in MusicBrainz Picard, because He gives the result, based, apparently, the name of the song, rather than scanning it (classical music, he took a dance, in my case)
      • 2009-03-12 07114, 2009

      • luks
        hm, now you are confusing me even more :)
      • 2009-03-12 07123, 2009

      • luks
        3rd Party Tagger? which one?
      • 2009-03-12 07135, 2009

      • luks
        hi nikki
      • 2009-03-12 07151, 2009

      • luks
        you must use the Scan button in Picard to have files identified by fingerprinting
      • 2009-03-12 07125, 2009

      • nikki
        luks: I was wondering about the wiki conversion script and those 'cards'... e.g. http://mediawiki.musicbrainz.org/What_Defines_A_U… is totally messed up
      • 2009-03-12 07115, 2009

      • luks
        they can
      • 2009-03-12 07124, 2009

      • luks
        they can't really be converted automatically
      • 2009-03-12 07140, 2009

      • nikki
        ok
      • 2009-03-12 07142, 2009

      • luks
        the script is fixing the syntax so they are included like templates with the currect argument positions
      • 2009-03-12 07149, 2009

      • luks
        but the template itself has to be fixed manually
      • 2009-03-12 07100, 2009

      • CatCat
        do we need such "cards*" in mediawii?
      • 2009-03-12 07108, 2009

      • CatCat
        they are buttugly, imhho
      • 2009-03-12 07124, 2009

      • nikki
        hey CatCat

        hey
      • 2009-03-12 07136, 2009

      • luks
        they are useful for looking up related pages, IMO
      • 2009-03-12 07148, 2009

      • nikki
        some of them are useful, some of them seem useless to me
      • 2009-03-12 07154, 2009

      • nikki
        like the 'edit' one
      • 2009-03-12 07114, 2009

      • luks
        well, that was a moinmoin hack
      • 2009-03-12 07128, 2009

      • nikki
        but I can click edit at the top of the page in moinmoin
      • 2009-03-12 07130, 2009

      • CatCat
        i think the "portal" thing in media could help towards related pages?
      • 2009-03-12 07100, 2009

      • CatCat
        well at least, what can their use be in media?
      • 2009-03-12 07155, 2009

      • CatCat
        the discus and edit ones a<re unecesary in media
      • 2009-03-12 07135, 2009

      • CatCat
        and media wiki has those, uh template thingies where thinsg that are erlated can be linked
      • 2009-03-12 07153, 2009

      • CatCat
        but they are att heend ofthe oage (an improvement i [at d] say)
      • 2009-03-12 07102, 2009

      • nikki
        there's also some problem with the conversion of the discussion on here: http://mediawiki.musicbrainz.org/Untitled_Bootleg…
      • 2009-03-12 07102, 2009

      • nikki
        http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/UntitledBootlegStyle here there's a new line for each person
      • 2009-03-12 07140, 2009

      • nikki
        oh, there was one thing luks, could you check how ---- gets converted? it seems to be adding a space to the line after it, which makes mediawiki think the next line is preformatted
      • 2009-03-12 07145, 2009

      • CatCat
        I must get ready for school must be out the door at 8:20 aqnd it's 7:27 already

        sorry.Indeed, I used version 0.10.5, together with 0.11. Get two more third-party programs, most of the songs are still recognized, but unfortunately I need the song was recognized incorrectly. Thanks for help.

        It seems like a lot of work to map out all the possibilities when its all purely theorectical.

        When a BBC_* editor adds a release and links to the review page on bbc.co.uk, where is the info coming from? Is the info listed on the bbc page directly from the new entry that was created by the editor?
      • 2009-03-12 07122, 2009

      • brianfreud
        same as anyone else / yes
      • 2009-03-12 07133, 2009

      • navap
        Anyone else?
      • 2009-03-12 07147, 2009

      • navap
        You mean linking to an already existing release by someone else?
      • 2009-03-12 07136, 2009

      • brianfreud
        no, they're adding a new release just like anyone else, using whatever info source they want
      • 2009-03-12 07116, 2009

      • navap
        Okay, so the info on the BBC review page exists before the editor adds the releaes?
      • 2009-03-12 07123, 2009

      • brianfreud
        not sure of the order - BBC editors can kind of do things a little different
      • 2009-03-12 07131, 2009

      • navap
      • 2009-03-12 07102, 2009

      • navap
        The BBC page is the only place I can find stating the artist is "Micachu & The Shapes
      • 2009-03-12 07106, 2009

      • navap
        Jewellery"
      • 2009-03-12 07136, 2009

      • navap
        But, I'm not sure if thats directly a result of him adding the release to mb under that artist, or they used some other source to get the inital info.
      • 2009-03-12 07139, 2009

      • brianfreud
        I've caught BBC editors wrong before too :)
      • 2009-03-12 07159, 2009

      • navap
        See my first note ;)
      • 2009-03-12 07114, 2009

      • navap
        But do you understand what I'm asking?
      • 2009-03-12 07116, 2009

      • brianfreud
        his info's to add it is prob from the same source as the review page, if you find better info, I'd not worry about it
      • 2009-03-12 07118, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yeah
      • 2009-03-12 07122, 2009

      • brianfreud
        chicken or egg :P
      • 2009-03-12 07158, 2009

      • navap
        Well, not really, thats an obvious answer whereas this questioin is much more confusing to me :p
      • 2009-03-12 07146, 2009

      • navap
        ANd now I have three possibilities, "Micachu & The Shapes", "Micachu", or VA :S
      • 2009-03-12 07117, 2009

      • navap
        http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=10160980 So if he doesn't, then what info is he using? Just random websites like I would? Comon this is the BBC! I would have thought they have the money to actually *buy* the album they are reviewing lol
      • 2009-03-12 07120, 2009

      • brianfreud
        lol, he might as easily be using just random sites - they probably get demo CDs (often without good liners) like most other media
      • 2009-03-12 07147, 2009

      • navap
        "I don't have a copy of the CD or any promo material..."
      • 2009-03-12 07138, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yeah, maybe only a CD, no liner / promo print material
      • 2009-03-12 07153, 2009

      • brianfreud
        I used to see those in my local used CD shops in MD all the time
      • 2009-03-12 07118, 2009

      • navap
        This second release is weird, everything I find online points to a 2008 release, but the BBC and that site he linked shows 2009-02.
      • 2009-03-12 07158, 2009

        MD, Maryland?
