happy weekend brainerz

hi

I know drum solos aren't to everyone's taste, but this really is something - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfGd53pmiZs

framerate not high enough ^^

I don't think it ever could be with that guy :-)

hehe, 1000fps slomo

I love the bit from about 3:40

hi all

does anyone know if it is possible to get an mbdump of the ngs data schema

quick question. i'm about to add an audio rip of a live dvd, which wasnt released officially as audio cd. should i put bootleg or pseudo-release as release status? or should i proceed otherwise?

pseudo-release is generally only used for translations/transliterations.

Bootleg sounds better.

bootleg sounds so illegal ;)

Wait, what are you adding?

You're just adding the tracklist of the dvd?

The "tracklist" rather.

Then it should be official I think.

I think that's how I've seen other dvds entered.

well the dvd is called johnny guitar watson live at leverkusen

however i cant find proper info about the dvd either.

i saw the concert once on tv, started recording it and got the missing tracks from the internet

so there must be a dvd somewhere i guess

hello guys, i'm kind of clueless on how to add this coldplay release http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singles_1999%E... can anyone please help me out ?

I'm surprised this isn't on MB - http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn310/marcom...

xand_: go to coldplay page, add release...

;p

how come 'the' is used 32767 times in both albums, artists and tracks? I got this from select artistusecount, albumusecount, trackusecount from wordlist where word='the';

dankine, i'm following

fupp, And the integer 32767 means nothing to you?

i assume you mean the fact that theyre all 7"?

top value of....something?

32767 is the largest signed two-byte integer

ah, right

Which makes me wonder what the hell uses two-byte integers these days

dankine, did you quit on me ? :)

no, i just dont know how you would add 14 7in vinyls as one release

never actually added multi disc things

dankine, yeah i don't get that too ...:/

navap you about?

Yes

soz to bother you, but how would you recommend adding 14 7inch vinyl single releases?

that are one large release as a whole

At the moment, each release entity in MusicBrainz corresponds to a physical disc (both sides of a vinyl). So your only option would be to add 14 releases inside a release group, give them (disc 1) to (disc 14), and also create the proper relationships between them.

cheers

there you go xand_

Here's a four vinyl example http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/c1126d0b-8...

navap, dankine: thanks guys, gonna give it a try

gl :)

guys, will the sides (A or B, 1234...etc) go on the track title as seen on wikipedia ?

No

You can add it to the annotation though if you want.

alright

hey guys, can i link/import/etc existing releases into this new release group ?

Yes, you can move an existing release into a new release group.

ok

navap, will i mess a release moving it to this new release group which is the box-set compilation you advised me to add ? I'm unsure about this relationships

Which relationship are you unsure about?

i mean this first already-existing-in-database release called blue room ep, i want to "import" or move, (i don't know) it to my new release group

so i don't have enter all data again

You can't do that. The server doesn't have any cloning or copying function.

If you move a release it does just that, it moves the release out of the existing release gourp and into the other one.

navap, i get it, so i have to edit everything again, even if the release already exists in system

right ?

The easiest way to "clone" a release is to copy it's tracklist and paste it into the track parser when you're at the page where you enter in the new release.

That will copy the tracklist so you don't have to enter them in, but it won't copy the release events or any relationships.

But yes, you have to enter everything again (either manually, or copy/paste), even if the release already exists in the database.

navap, sorry, i can't find this track parser

When you're in the release editor there's this blue "thing" at the top. Click config and you'll see options to enable the track parser.

alright, thanks again

Not a problem

should have a "remove quotes" function to add tracklistings provided by wikipedia, but this is just a suggestion from a very lazy guy like me :)

In the edit suite (that blue thing) there is a search/replace feature. You can easily tell it to search for quotes and replace it with nothing.

ops again

system complains it's a possible duplicate...foolish it telling its a brand new right ?

Are you creating a new release with the same tracklist as another release that already exists in the database?

You shouldn't have to do that.

no, i'm creating a new release group which does not exist on the database which happens to be a box-set/multi-disc that contains a release that does exist in the database

this is the box-set http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singles_1999%E...

the release is blue room ep

The title of the release you added is wrong. The release title for it (and all the other 13 discs) is "The Singles 1999–2006".

Just like the release group.

The disc name is where you would put "The Blue Room E.P."

So: "The Singles 1999-2006 (disc 1: The Blue Room E.P.)"

"The Singles 1999-2006 (disc 2: Shiver)", "The Singles 1999-2006 (disc 3: Yellow)", etc.

navap, ok i get it...i tried to make changes to this release title but it takes a while for it commit right ?

This looks like a typo in the title - http://musicbrainz.org:80/album/2c4be2e3-8825-4... vs http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/snake_sk...

xand_: Yes most of your edits will have to go through the voting process before the changes take effect.

xand_: http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/results.html?...

Oops, when I said the release title is "The Singles 1996-2006" I meant that plus the disc title. The quoted stuff above is what should be in the release title.

So the title for the first disc should be: "The Singles 1999-2006 (disc 1: The Blue Room E.P.)"

Please cancel both of those release title edits and submit a new one.

Munger: Go ahead and change it :)

Dunno. That looks like a fake cover for a bootleg release to me

navap, alright, doing it now

navap, I think that's just a bunch of tracks somebody has put together for a download. I don't think it even belongs on MB

Yeah, it does look that way.

Should I just remove it? I can't find any evidence to support it either way

Really, those should all be non-album tracks IMO

Somebody is actually using twitter for something cool - http://twitter.com/astro_Soichi

navap, besides this procedure we were talking about, is there anything else i should be concerned about ?

xand_: When you're adding a multi-disc release, it helps if you create a relationship between them.
