So I think the problem I'm having with editing the release group could potentially come from it not appearing in the indexed search and using the direct search instead. I have edited other release groups that actually appeared in the indexed search.

http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14550353 does this even make sense?

wait, it won't let you add a space?

weird

maybe there's some bug in the join phrase code

who knows

well

i guess it ignores spaces when it checks to see if you are adding a meaningful commit

so it says "Your edit does not change anything" or something of the sort

and refuses to submit it

btw, can someone vote on this http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14509994 so it passes so i can fix my typo in the two track edits i submitted in there?

i had a brainfart and added a typo when splitting artist track credit for Sonikozadza

approved it :-)

thank you

did i mention how much i love the new split artist credit support?

that was added?

well, new to ngs

:)

i mean

new with ngs

also the typo fix edit that I meant to do is now at http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14550411

I thought you were talking about a feature to automatically split a collab artist into an artist credit

because I recall a ticket for that :)

ah

that would be nice

well, that happened with the ones that were 'easy'

but i think it already does that

right

the ones that had relationships defined

but not the ones that just had the name

right, but for the ones that weren't converted it would be quite useful

if it couldn't match up names properly or if the collab artist had relationships other than the collab one it didn't split it

but yeah

maybe if my current pace re: GSoC continues (which would have me finish around mid-June, I think :P) I'll take on that project ;)

haha

(voted)

(and of course, re: GSoC I'm kidding, I'm sure I can tinker with graphs all summer :P)

voted :)

yes, not having to redo the artist split on the recordings and the tracklists of the albums it appears on would save a ton of time

both entering, and keeping the voting queue cleaner

assuming the implementation doesn't enter separate edits for them :/

yeah

well a smart implementation shouldn't

:D

we really need edit bundles or something

i.e. "vote yes on all <n> of these edits"

and you can split them apart if need be, but the default be the chunked view

I need to catch up on my subscribed artist stuff... badly.

Have we decided that we don't care about track numbers for multi-disc releases? Specifically http://musicbrainz.org/release/1053e4e8-6ad6-3e...

I can't seem to find any current documentation on this.

hackel: what do you mean? I see track numbers...

hawke_: When I try to tag with Picard, it's combining the 2nd disc as a single release, increasing the track numbers up from there.

hackel: what version of Picard? only 0.15beta and above properly support multi-disc releases

bitmap: Ahh, that would explain it! Still on .13. Thanks.

luks: you see TSO2?

dubwai: TSO2 is a iTunes-specific hack

I'd say that is mp3tag repeatedly copies the TXXX frame to TSO2, it's their bug

I'd like to add support for tag setting profiles, but it's not done yet

It will be Solomon's decision :-)

luks: TSOP is already iTunes?

why only Album Artist Sort Order is exception?

Moin!

moin moin

http://musicbrainz.org/artist/658ace70-7f4e-446... -- which is ``Edits for Magnum (Birmingham UK melodic rock band)'' -- is showing edits for ``Vigilante (Chilean electro-industrial / metal project)''. Am I being a bit dense this morning, or is this a bug?

it's because they put the release in http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/0bdf5efb-c...

(which is by magnum)

dubwai: because there is no native frame for album artist sort order here http://id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames

nikki: Aha, that explains. What'S the usual procedure? Voting no, telling them to move the release, or moving it oneself?

OK thanks

nikki: Oh, gnyffel is a totally new editor.

I either add a note saying what they did wrong and ask them to change it, then change it myself if they don't

or change it myself and then leave a note saying what I did/why

Or the statistics got reset with the NGS update? (As email was verified in 2007.)

the statistics weren't reset

I left a comment; thanks.

http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2648065 I should use Artist as credited: "Al Borosie", now normal name is "alborsoie" in 95% of releases?

luks: Picard 0.15beta1 doesn't write "media"

dubwai: please report that as a bug http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/newticket

luks: http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/5925

hm, is there an easy way to swap artists and track titles in the release editor?

luks: I think, than I find another bug. If I add http://musicbrainz.org/release/adc1e5a2-e9b4-4b... to Picard then first song have artist is "Alborosie", but must be "Ky-M... & Albo...". I think I happend because first track connecting with this http://musicbrainz.org/recording/bfa3dd5e-516f-....

stupid regional dupes

whoever added the event only added it to the firsst disc of a five disc set, so as it is it's just straight up wrong

Could I please get some opinions on the screen shots in http://codereview.musicbrainz.org/r/1279/ ?

This is for a display of the 'edit medium' edit to show what's changed in the tracklist

Mineo: ruby -n -e '$_ =~ /(\d*\.) (.*) - (.*) (\(.*)/; puts "#{$1} #{$3} - #{$2} #{$4}"'

then cut and paste

well, I was thinking of somethings like a button, but thanks anyway :)

I didn't find a button either!

unfortunately the release editor is not exactly clear about whether it's "artist - title" or "title - artist" on VA releases :(

Mineo: it's title - artist, but yeah, it needs a button to swap things.

Is the xml api version 2 only supported by the ngs server or do both generations support both versions?

The v2 webservice was introduced with NGS.
