        MClemo: you can right-click on a track and view details to see what tag names it's using

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgY8AOsmf5o go to 0:54 Would you use "Hotel" or "Hotel (5 unicode stars)" for the track title?
      • 2011-06-04 15515, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm. my youtube player is broken atm, and i get sound but no video. fun.
      • 2011-06-04 15541, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        reosarevok: if it was a japanese track, i'd call it "Hotel ☆☆☆☆☆" or whatever :)
      • 2011-06-04 15551, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Sounds sensible to me

        MClemo: click on a tag in the details dialog box and click edit at the bottom to see the actual tag name
      • 2011-06-04 15520, 2011

      • MClemo
        kepstin-laptop: thanks. Seems to be "discnumber" and "totaldiscs"
      • 2011-06-04 15506, 2011

      • MClemo
        oh god, now I have to touch my file naming scheme again
      • 2011-06-04 15535, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        I use $if2(%albumartist%,%artist%) - %album%/$if(%discnumber%,%discnumber%-)$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %artist% - %title%
      • 2011-06-04 15538, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        :)
      • 2011-06-04 15513, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        that first if is probably useless, given that I'm pretty sure it always sets albumartist.
      • 2011-06-04 15548, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        I think we'll have to make at least one of the example tracks in picard off of a multi-disc release.
      • 2011-06-04 15551, 2011

      • MClemo
        yes, and the new default value should probably include something like %discnumber%
      • 2011-06-04 15559, 2011

      • reosarevok
        MClemo: agreed
      • 2011-06-04 15511, 2011

      • luks
        there is a ticket about that
      • 2011-06-04 15535, 2011

      • luks
        can't decide if the default format should include the disc number should be in the folder name or the file name
      • 2011-06-04 15551, 2011

      • luks
        s/should be//
      • 2011-06-04 15501, 2011

      • MClemo
        I have it in folder name but there are probably many that like it in the file name
      • 2011-06-04 15517, 2011

      • nikki mostly sees "foo/disc n/01. track name" or "foo/n-01. track name"
      • 2011-06-04 15528, 2011

      • nikki
        and I guess either works
      • 2011-06-04 15538, 2011

      • reosarevok would prefer folder name
      • 2011-06-04 15552, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        you can see my preference ^^ :)
      • 2011-06-04 15503, 2011

      • luks
        I think the file name would be better for the default
      • 2011-06-04 15506, 2011

      • reosarevok
        I'd say 50 folders with songs in them are easier to manage than a ridiculously huge folder with 500 songs or so
      • 2011-06-04 15521, 2011

      • reosarevok uses the same Merzbox fringe case everyone uses
      • 2011-06-04 15534, 2011

      • luks
        any idea what does iTunes do?
      • 2011-06-04 15537, 2011

      • reosarevok *does* have that boxset in his external disc though
      • 2011-06-04 15513, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        I've managed to avoid importing releases into itunes so far, so I don't know what itunes does :)
      • 2011-06-04 15527, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm, that reminds me, I was gonna try rockbox on my ipod sometime soon
      • 2011-06-04 15528, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Hmm
      • 2011-06-04 15530, 2011

      • reosarevok checks
      • 2011-06-04 15517, 2011

      • reosarevok doesn't check because his music was MB-tagged before iTunes so it has two albums
      • 2011-06-04 15510, 2011

      • davitf_
        I'm late to the part, but here's my naming scheme: $ascii([_%series%/][%seriesnumber% ]%album artist% - $left($replace($if($and($strcmp($right(%album%,1),')'),$strstr(%album%,'feat.')),$trim($left(%album%,$sub($strrchr(%album%,'('),1))),%album%),%series%,$upper($abbr(%series%))),70)/[$ifgreater(%totaldiscs%,1,%discnumber%-,)]%tracknumber% [%track artist% - ]$left(%title%,70))

      • luks
        http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=13371 sems to suggest it's the file name
      • 2011-06-04 15525, 2011

      • luks
        I think that's a good default behavior
      • 2011-06-04 15538, 2011

      • luks
        1-01 for multi-disc albums, 01 for single-disc
      • 2011-06-04 15546, 2011

      • luks
        all files in the same folder

        huh. did someone just break the server, or did my browser just break (i'm betting on the second)
      • 2011-06-04 15547, 2011

      • reosarevok
        The server seems to work
      • 2011-06-04 15532, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        yeah, looks like something weird happened to a file in my browser cache
      • 2011-06-04 15509, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        anyways, I wonder if there's a good way to do an artist credit for http://musicbrainz.org/artist/480d055d-1fdc-4b38-…
      • 2011-06-04 15513, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        as an explanation,

      • kepstin-laptop
        ファンタズム is a semi-fictional band, where FES is the lead singer character, who is performed by 榊原ゆい

      • 2011-06-04 15550, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        I'm not really in the mood to go through that :(
      • 2011-06-04 15538, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm. looks like it's mostly pseudorelease merges and cleanups

        I love how http://musicbrainz.org/recording/66eed338-c571-48… - the "Unreleased version" can be found on a release :)
      • 2011-06-04 15539, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        anyways, I'm off to a bunch of different birthday parties which may include my own, see you all later.

        Hi guise

      • reosarevok
        I imagine nobody here happens to have IE7, right?
      • 2011-06-04 15513, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (you can admit it, I'm not asking if it is your default browser :) )

        is that a known bug?

      • nikki
        yes
      • 2011-06-04 15544, 2011

        I can't wait until Monday comes and that gets fixed
      • 2011-06-04 15545, 2011

      • lidel
        ok :)
      • 2011-06-04 15555, 2011

      • reosarevok
        So we won't have the same question 5 times per day :)
      • 2011-06-04 15503, 2011

      • nikki wonders if it's been reported more times than that bug we had where we couldn't add releases and disc ids at the same time
