any autoeditors here who want to approve medium edits? (since they essentially auto-fail in 3 weeks)

Hello guys, how have you been using MusicBrainz with iTunes? I just ran into a lot of possibilities, no solutions at all....

what kind of solutions are you looking for?

the old "get info" trick is not working quite well

guhcampos: the last person working on itunes integration was falcotron, but he's been inactive for months...if you're using OSX, you might try the code at http://code.google.com/p/picardplugins/wiki/ITune…) otherwise I wouldn't expect anything to work

bitmap, I've seem the comment on his work, but unfortunatelly (for me) I'm on windows =|

I use itunes for my ipod, but I update the library so infrequently that I don't mind doing it manually
2011-07-04 18520, 2011
guhcampos
I see... I get new stuff (and delete things I dislike) quite often, and my library is huge =|
2011-07-04 18541, 2011
guhcampos
I wouldn't care to use another player, really, but since I got an iPhone I haven o option, because of the apps
2011-07-04 18508, 2011

since itunes is proprietary it's difficult to develop support for it (especially cross-platform), and pretty much no one is interested in working on it right now

I was thinking about some python stuff I could arrange, but I don't really know from where to start
hey can anyone see this "check all votes thing“ in http://musicbrainz.org/work/0df5668e-8f2f-3d2b-8c… ??? or is it just me ? IUt’s bugged because it only appear sometimes when we don’t need it (just one edit to vote for instance)
now that I have this bug back in front of me I tested and can say that it is not a bug or leftover from my "check all votes" userjs http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/57765

nikki: CatCat ; do you see this “Vote on all edits” or is it ujst me ?
2011-07-04 18507, 2011
nikki
I always see it
2011-07-04 18500, 2011
jesus2099
Well I almost never see it, just only when it shouldn’t be there :)
and it’s not because of my userjs as I tried to remove it but still the same
2011-07-04 18513, 2011
hrglgrmpf
Oh, I thought you meant your userjs!
2011-07-04 18526, 2011
jesus2099
Ah you mean you can see my userjs !
2011-07-04 18527, 2011
jesus2099
?
2011-07-04 18549, 2011
hrglgrmpf
Yes, in the edit queues of nikki and you, but not in the edit queue of the work
2011-07-04 18552, 2011
jesus2099
I can too of course ! :D I meant there is a (new?) “vote on all edits” similar to my userjs that appears randomly
2011-07-04 18522, 2011
jesus2099
in the work edit queue it is normal that my userjs doesn’t show up as there is only one votable edit
2011-07-04 18545, 2011
jesus2099
nikki: what is it that you are always seeing then ?
2011-07-04 18553, 2011
hrglgrmpf
Ah, but in the work edit queue I can see "Vote on all edits:" :-)
2011-07-04 18532, 2011
jesus2099
hrglgrmpf: like me then, same bug
2011-07-04 18540, 2011
nikki
I see it on your open edits, but not on my own (for obvious reasons I hope)
2011-07-04 18541, 2011
jesus2099
nikki: bof
2011-07-04 18508, 2011
jesus2099
strange, so it’s not a mirage, but maybe it’s a mirage only for non automods
2011-07-04 18513, 2011
nikki
and it's not new, it was there in mason too. I imagine the logic for it is broken in some way
2011-07-04 18528, 2011
jesus2099
for non automods, it is not supposed to appear but it appears in some random places
2011-07-04 18535, 2011
jesus2099
And now something completely different : is it OK if I link a release to a completely wrong ASIN (except it is matching the bar code) ? ← it’s wrong cover, wrong format etc.

hmm, just a short question: I got the impression that with NGS we copy the track list a bit more exactly than with pre-NGS (e.g. don't enter " / hidden track" in track list, but in the recording name)
v6lur: yes, of course... but with NGS we can do it a little better
2011-07-04 18519, 2011
v6lur
but is there a point to it? :)
2011-07-04 18529, 2011
hrglgrmpf
e.g. I think "(feat. Artist)" should now not be entered in the tracklist anymore?
2011-07-04 18547, 2011
jesus2099
if we could have the hidden song still there but greyed out, wow !
2011-07-04 18552, 2011
v6lur
i wouldn't re-introduce proven typos, for example...

hrglgrmpf: the tendency seems to be entering them as artist credits, yes
2011-07-04 18553, 2011
hrglgrmpf
v6lur: I've seen edits that reintroduce typos (not by my) with a prove of the cover image...
2011-07-04 18513, 2011
hrglgrmpf
I thought this isn't bad since the recording has the standardized name...
2011-07-04 18532, 2011
hrglgrmpf
it might be handy to identify different releases...
2011-07-04 18505, 2011
v6lur
and actually it's the same with wrong capitalization: the tracklist is the most visible part, and if stuff is wrong there, people will assume that the wrong stuff is actually correct
2011-07-04 18524, 2011
hrglgrmpf
v6lur: Well, I see the all-caps as a font style... so I would still use our capitalization for that

2011-07-04 18534, 2011

but if e.g. on a compilation they credit a band as "The Artist", but it is really just "Artist", I'm now entering it as "The Artist" (but of course linked to the right artist)
2011-07-04 18536, 2011
v6lur
yea, and i regard mid-sentence 'Of' and such as a styling issue and would rather enter it as 'of' ;)
2011-07-04 18542, 2011
nikki
hrglgrmpf: everyone has their own opinion on how much standardising should happen. pretty much everything from "enter everything as close to the cover as possible no matter how little sense it makes or how ridiculous it looks" to "continue applying style guidelines but allow tracks to have different names if the name was changed"
2011-07-04 18520, 2011
v6lur
i suppose i'm an example of the latter, then
2011-07-04 18503, 2011
nikki would personally continue fixing typos, missing accents and capitalisation, and would still leave off things she doesn't consider part of the track title
2011-07-04 18513, 2011
nikki
but there are people who think I'm going too far, and others who think I'm not :)
2011-07-04 18550, 2011
hrglgrmpf
nikki: true... what would you do with hidden tracks that don't appear on the track list at all?
