ok, I'll just do the escaping manually

I guess we might do some similar bundling on Windows

foolip_: yep, py2exe is used on Windows

so, how to deal with podcasts?

so I'm assuming the people on the mailing list have the same issue

Shisma: for now, I'd copy the tracklist order in the annotation

(if you have the times, you can put those too)

ok, and how do you name them? who is the artist?

Oh, that

can you link to an example?

I'd add them as a recording for the DJ-mixer / podcaster / whatever

I haven't added any after NGS yet

But yeah, if I was to add a FACT Magazine mix, for example, I'd add that as a recording for the DJ-mixer / compiler… or as a 1-track release with the "other" attribute

You *might* use "Compilation", but that's ugly

ok, i try

the podcast i want to add was produced by a radiostation

heh…

nikki, any ideas?

no :P

I imagine you should just add the radio as an artist :(

all the radio stuff I know of has a host that I would file it under

they put the name of the show intro the mp3 tag

and beyond that, I haven't got a clue what would be best

If you know who did the podcast (artist name) use that

If not, I'd say use the station / show

you mean the moderator?

Might be

yes

(but that's the german word)

haha, ok

can I add the torrent link ti the entry

?

i guess torrent is forbidden

Is it a legal torrent? If so, I imagine you could

But I don't know

of course

it legal

If the podcast has a website where they link to the torrent

Maybe you could use that instead (so everyone is happy)

the nice thing about torrent is, that it is independent from their website

I definitely wouldn't link to tpb

luks: not even when uploaded by the artist / program / whatever itself?

luks: well, the link is also at the artists website

out of principle

but that's just me

I'd vote against such edit though

it's only asking for trouble

reosarevok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPVpgWYQFt8&... heard about this guy?

Nope

Free! yay

I see no problems with links to legit material on tpb, though if there’s a site more specific to the torrents in question I’d link to that instead.

bad thing that you can't add a release date to a track

e.g. the torrents at http://sites.google.com/site/sxswtorrent/ can all be found on tpb as well

but I’d still link to that site.

Shisma: I agree.

Shisma: yeah, it's been requested, but not here yet

(to a recording, rather)

but a podcast is a non-album-track

isn't it?

Shisma: It can be.

but not always

but it is not part of a release

or should I add the name of the podcast as the album?

that would be cool

If the music from a podcast is later collected into a release, it could be part of a release.

Whether the podcast counts as a separate non-album-track release after that, is up for debate.

it would be easy to add lots of podcasts that way

bitmap, can you verify if https://gitorious.org/musicbrainz/addrelease/bl... now works on OS X?

lol, FACT magazine in twitter: "Starting up an "if it's got two tracks, it's not an EP" campaign. No sendage, as Blackdown might say."

I will add the podcast series as a record

okay?

foolip_: it works for me with picard 0.12 and osx 10.4

nikki, great, thanks!

Shisma: I would add *each* podcast as a 1-track record

arg

But not all of them in one release, unless they were all released in that way

(I don't think there's any clear guideline about it though)

reosarevok: what’s the logic behind that? Just so you can give a release date for each?

The logic is that podcasts are usually independent stuff, even if released in a series (at least the podcasts I've seen)

I mean, they're put out separately

What’s the benefit of that vs. non-album tracks / standalone recordings?

Oh, that, you mean… yes, release dates, mainly

I thought you meant vs. one release for all

Well, one release for all would have the same problem, of not being able to apply release dates for each.

So that seems like the worst option in any case

Before NGS I was adding 1-track releases always because it was that or non-album tracks

Now, I could see us using standalone recordings

(especially once we have dates for them)

voiceinsideyou, did you make that forum post? I've now registered myself.

Anyone have an opinion on how “[artist] & Friends” should be handled? Separate artist? artist credit to [artist]?

What IRC logger is MB using?

Does http://musicbrainz.org/edit/14583323 look right for merging a 2-disc release?

ruaok: pbryan just asked what irc logger we're using

luks: yes

err

Leftmost: yes

Alright. So I should just make sure the media are named right when it goes through?

pbryan: its called irclogger

ruaok: Thanks.

I think we have the source in svn.

is it possible to rename the own folksonomy tags?

you can remove the old ones and add new ones

it's not possible to batch rename though

:/

fuck

wasn't it possible before ngs?

no[e

nope too

I always find it funny when I look at my clock and it says 13:37.

arch/gentoo are too mainstream? :)

yep.

:)

I only have one computer running exherbo, it's kind of a for-fun thing.

I'd suggest solaris :P

I work on solaris

now that's /not/ fun.

heh

when there are different recordings from different orchestras, I can name the recordings like this: "Song (Foo-Orchestra)", "Song(Bar-Orchestra 1991)" and "Song(Bar-Orchestra 2009)"

is it correct?

I was using freebsd more recently

on one hand I like the simplicity of source-packages

the first thing you end up doing when using solaris is installing all the gnu utilities to replace the junk that's included with it :/

but it's a pain to update

Shisma: I would add it in the comment, not the name

But yes

thats what i meant

okay

thx

:)

I love how there's comment fields on releases, recordings, works, etc. now. so useful :)

is it correct like this: http://musicbrainz.org/recording/92e4b08b-06ac-... and http://musicbrainz.org/recording/a0b35145-fe28-...

?

and http://musicbrainz.org/recording/63b9a5b5-40ff-...

foolip_: yes, it works for me. :)
