that would actually make sense, I think

apparently sarah mclachlan was known to have a musical saw on some of her previous tracks, and it would account for the odd instrument sound that I didn't recognize :)

or more specifically, itunes releases of japanese stuff, since a) they transliterate them outside the japanese store, b) they're released in something like 15 countries (usually with the same id), c) the transliterations are often crap, d) the transliterations aren't always consistent

hmm, that's kind of annoying

kepstin hasn't seen very many english releases of japanese albums with satisfactory trans{liter}ations
2011-03-08 06713, 2011
kepstin
most of the ones I have to "Transliteration (Translation)"

my approach so far has been to pretend they don't exist

kepstin ponders the 'Publisher' relations.

I always wondered what the hell it was

now that I've picked up a couple of recent english-language releases; they're on all the albums...

i'd be OK with an update to the relationship wording that clarifies it according to the current usage.

kepstin wonders who came up with the name of the company "4237579 Canada, Inc."
2011-03-08 06733, 2011
kepstin notes that by that definition, it should be a Work→Label relationship in NGS

kepstin
aww, that's really annoying.

Can't send to the musicbrainz-style list without being subscribed to it
2011-03-08 06740, 2011
kepstin currently has mailing list messages going to a different account from his main one, but wants to send messages to the list from his main account...

subscribe but turn off emails, I guess
2011-03-08 06755, 2011
kepstin
can you do that with the list software they're using?
2011-03-08 06757, 2011
ianmcorvidae
aren't they just using mailman? that's sort of the standard
hackish, but I guess that's what you get for using email in a weird way :P
2011-03-08 06745, 2011
kepstin
I'm actually doing really weird stuff; all my mailing list messages are going to an account that automatically deletes messages after 30 days

there's online archives if I need to see back further :)
2011-03-08 06727, 2011
kepstin
alright, looks like that went through now.

huh. If I keep averaging 2 tracks per day, I'll be done this album by the weekend :)

kepstin still finds it mildly annoying that you can't link to an artist's own site for lyrics when they post them, e.g. http://www.sarahmclachlan.com/us/music/laws-illusion/awakenings

that would mean all the urls would have to be manually checked, rather than having a whitelist, tho :(
