        silly question
      • Importing fully Picard tagged m4a's into iTunes will strip out MBID's and the like, yeah?
      • hmm, it won't?!
      • crazy, just diving through the file with strings shows me MB field labels and values, nice! So second question then: Do them make it to iDevices?
      • they*
      • nikki
        kepstin: heh... on this release there's sound producer, asian producer, general producers and executive producer :/

        nikki; I replied in http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14273514 (because you don't receive my emails any more) . I'm moving the release to the artist name that's on the package (like Artist Credit in NGS). Isn't this the way to do for best situation possible in NGS?
      • (because the artist changed perf
      • name at some time
      • )

        Dear people of #mb, could I get 3 votes on this? http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=14277196
      • Pressing Continue twice FTL
      • lidel
        voted ;-)
      • Hm.. is anyone familiar with genpuid tool and m3lib cache format? I wonder if it's possible to create cron job that goes over my music collection and generates PUIDs for songs that do not have one yet.
      • But since I have over 25k songs in library, some kind of cache is required, to parse only new ones. Any ideas?
      • Wizzcat
        assuming you're tagging your songs with the puid it really shouldn't take that long to check each one for whether or not a puid exists
      • lidel
        Wizzcat, good point. Is Picard always adding PUIDs, or only when I explicitly did fingerprint lookup on that file?
      • Wizzcat
        I'm not actually sure, probably not unless you scan.
      • Personally I've rather stopped caring about PUIDs, an MBID is more valuable in a library.
      • warp has never used pweeeds.
      • reosarevok used them only once, to try to find what was in an iPod where half the tracks had become FREA or LKFE or the like
      • lidel
        I wonder what is current status of PUIDs.. http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Summer_Of_Code_Ideas states: "Acoustic fingerprinting projects: There are new and open acoustic fingerprint projects coming out soon, so we don't need to focus on this."
      • Seems that they will be replaced/superseded by open solution in future
      • *with ;-)
      • Wizzcat
        luks already has a promising one going. No idea whether it will be tied to mbz officially or not.
      • But yes, the closed-sourceness of PUIDs is a pretty big turnoff.
      • jesus2099 joined the channel
      • reosarevok
        Yeah, there are several things being worked on in the fingerprinting field
      • Hopefully all open

        If a release is only available for streaming (for example, in Bandcamp) but not for download / digital sale / physical sale / anything… is it still a release? Is it a bunch of standalone recordings? If a release, what should the release events be?

        meh. my five year old can do that.
      • hello world. how much more would you pay for an ISP that isn't evil? arrgh. I hate having to make these decisions. Why is the evil one never the expensive one?

      • hawke_
        lidel / caller_6: regarding the unicode moratorium, the way I’ve been handling it is to avoid entering edits changing ascii→unicode, but new stuff I still enter with Unicode.
      • Tecfan
        reosarevok, more like a non-album track.
      • hawke_
        Just so that it doesn’t make even more work for later
      • Tecfan
        caller_6, to make you jelly: my isp upgrades my line from 15/15 to 40/40 for free :D
      • caller_6
        hawke_: makes sense.
      • lidel
        hawke_, yes, that was the case (edit was to change ascii to unicode)
      • caller_6
        My ISP problem is, would I pay more for a local company that doesn't throttle torrents. Which makes me put price on an ideal. Which makes me evil too.
      • ppawel joined the channel
      • hawke_
        caller_6: Is it evil to only patronize companies who act in your preferred way, even if they’re more expensive?
      • caller_6
        hawke_: It's evil to have to ask myself "at what price will I abandon a principle".
      • hawke_
        Heh.
      • caller_6 will stop grumbling about it
      • I think it’s just a balance of evlis
      • *evils
      • On the one hand, restrictions of activity…on the other, price gouging. :-)
      • caller_6
        I was thinking of it more as, on one hand a huge communications company is treating the internet into a fancy television channel; on the other hand, I'm broke. :P
      • not treating, "making"
      • warp
        throttling torrents? wtf?
      • caller_6: I would definitely avoid giving money to such a company if I could avoid it.

      • This straddles the line between "cover" and "arrangement" in my mind, since the instrumentation is so different. I'll listen to it for a bit before weighing in.
      • reosarevok
        Well, when you decide just make the edit (or not) ;)

        I've seen an mp3 file with IDs for its album, artist and track - this is done by musicbrainz, right?
      • Can I do something like this to all my music?

        konr: Yep. Using Picard is the easiest way. It's an automatic tagging program.

        well, I can find it on amazon :)
      • it's a classical music album
