        x is only correct when the track is on the first medium of the release
      • 2010-01-13 01310, 2010

      • ijabz
        when its on a second medium you need to add the number of tracks on medium 1 to the value and so on
      • 2010-01-13 01310, 2010

      • ruaok
        is that really a problem?
      • 2010-01-13 01334, 2010

      • ruaok
        for instance when people go to tag their tracks and the mediums are CDs, the tracks will start with 1 on each medium.
      • 2010-01-13 01346, 2010

      • ruaok
        that's how we list them on our release pages too.
      • 2010-01-13 01356, 2010

      • ruaok
        so, I think we're doing the right thing with x.
      • 2010-01-13 01330, 2010

      • ijabz
        Well I think it is wrong, nikki have a view please
      • 2010-01-13 01328, 2010

      • ijabz
        If is wrong my suggestion was to add the postioninrelease element to track MMD
      • 2010-01-13 01302, 2010

      • ruaok
        what?
      • 2010-01-13 01317, 2010

      • ijabz
        its in the email I sent
      • 2010-01-13 01342, 2010

      • ijabz
        track element has a position element that details its position in the medium, but we could with one for position wrt to release
      • 2010-01-13 01355, 2010

      • ruaok
        I agree with that.
      • 2010-01-13 01311, 2010

      • ruaok
        ah, I hadn't gotten that far in the email yet. :)
      • 2010-01-13 01336, 2010

      • ruaok
        that proposal makes sense to me.
      • 2010-01-13 01345, 2010

      • ruaok
        let me add both of those to the schema
      • 2010-01-13 01356, 2010

      • ijabz
        ;), I have a plan for populating this data now
      • 2010-01-13 01302, 2010

      • ruaok
        nice
      • 2010-01-13 01315, 2010

      • ijabz
        which I'll try out tomorrow
      • 2010-01-13 01332, 2010

      • ijabz
        ijabz can sleep easy tonight

      • ruaok
        :-)
      • 2010-01-13 01344, 2010

      • ruaok
        for the medium total track count....
      • 2010-01-13 01349, 2010

      • ruaok
        track-count
      • 2010-01-13 01354, 2010

      • ruaok
        total-track-count

      • 2010-01-13 01307, 2010

      • ruaok
        ?
      • 2010-01-13 01322, 2010

      • ruaok
        I think just track count makes sense.
      • 2010-01-13 01328, 2010

      • ruaok
        given where its positioned.
      • 2010-01-13 01347, 2010

      • ijabz
        agreed
      • 2010-01-13 01355, 2010

      • ruaok makes it so
      • 2010-01-13 01333, 2010

      • ijabz
        ok, gotta get away from this labtop
      • 2010-01-13 01340, 2010

      • ruaok
        run!
      • 2010-01-13 01331, 2010

      • ruaok
        ok, finally back to code more WS bits.

        hi there, I maintain picard (the MusicBrainz) tagger. because the acoustic fingerprinting uses ffmpeg for scanning files, I had to move that portion of the functionality to RPM Fusion (the "picard-freeworld" package) unfortunately this is not very discoverable (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551090) would it be possible add something to http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Picard_FAQ, maybe a question that says "Q

      • 2010-01-13 01305, 2010

      • ruaok
        ah cool. thanks for doing that.
      • 2010-01-13 01323, 2010

      • ruaok
        you can edit that page here: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Picard_FAQ
      • 2010-01-13 01345, 2010

      • blarney
        ruaok: right, but I thought that you need an account
      • 2010-01-13 01353, 2010

      • blarney
        and it needs to be approved
      • 2010-01-13 01358, 2010

      • ruaok
        create yourself a wiki account, please.
      • 2010-01-13 01310, 2010

      • ruaok
        once you're done with changes, have navap or myself push them live.

        I am also a musicbrainz editor, will my same login work?

        sadly, no.

        bummer

        I have wiki/bugzilla/trac login overload

      • ruaok
        yeah, me too.

        once we get NGS out I hope to setup some LDAP server and tie everything together.
      • 2010-01-13 01335, 2010

      • blarney
        I thought openid was supposed to help with such things
      • 2010-01-13 01301, 2010

      • ruaok
        well, we need to have a single login and then have the single login be OpenID friendly.
      • 2010-01-13 01316, 2010

      • blarney thinks there really should be something that works across a lot of open-source projects (off-topic ;))
      • 2010-01-13 01312, 2010

      • blarney
        ruaok: it's odd, when I press "create an account" it pops a message saying login with "mbwiki" and password "mbwiki"
      • 2010-01-13 01326, 2010

      • ruaok
        yes, its a spam prevention measure.
      • 2010-01-13 01334, 2010

      • blarney
        ah
      • 2010-01-13 01335, 2010

      • ruaok
        you should only get that once per session.
      • 2010-01-13 01342, 2010

        its silly but very effective
      • 2010-01-13 01350, 2010

      • blarney
        perhaps that could be mentioned in the popup or somesuch, otherwise it's confusing

      • blarney
        ruaok: hopefully that will cut down on our bug reports
      • 2010-01-13 01342, 2010

      • ruaok
        http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard I wonder if a note on this page would also help.

        "For Linux users, Picard is also available in many distributions' software repositories."
      • 2010-01-13 01318, 2010

      • ruaok
        I would add a "Fedora users, please note" that links to the FAQ.
      • 2010-01-13 01324, 2010

      • ruaok
        that should cut down on the number of bugs.
      • 2010-01-13 01348, 2010

      • ruaok
        but I would let Navap does this since he is the curator of that page and ensuring its suck free
      • 2010-01-13 01336, 2010

      • blarney
        ruaok: yeah, a note on the top-level page would be even better
      • 2010-01-13 01314, 2010

      • ruaok
        lets pester navap when he's around.
