you'll probably have to do it manually, unfortunately

easiest way with the script your using would be to change %albumartist% to "Various Artists" before saving

s/your/you're

Is there a way to use a tagger script to change a release that has more then one artist to Various Artists so the script works?

yes, but it would also affect releases like the one you linked earlier: http://musicbrainz.org/release/7ad32624-296f-4c...

$if(%compilation%,$set(albumartist,Various Artists),)

I can't think of any way to detect releases like the Angelzoom one though

It'd be easier if it was back to the way it was though

Where the feat. was in the song instead of the artist

I think it made more sense that way personally

there's been a pretty huge debate about that on the style list for the past few weeks :)

hmm

kyomi: it doesn't really make sense databasely

kyomi: but it does for tagging

I'll agree with that

So we just need to be consistent in the DB to facilitate the auto-changing for tagging :)

isn't there a plugin that moves it back?

So maybe... a script or plugin that does it if the user desires?

Yeah, I think there is

oh well.. that will do :)

I HATE PETER PAN!!

I wrote a plugin to move it to titles, but it won't affect the %compilation% tag for releases like the one above, sadly

maybe I can add extra logic to detect that

so.. what were you talking about the %compilation% tag?

that script you posted

So... that goes in tagger script?

yeah, assuming that's what you want

lemme see

Picard sets the compilation tag automatically when the release contains more than one artist

Apparently not in that case >.>

It still lists the album artist as DJ Green Lantern

hmm, let me see

Have to unset it and then set it again?

I remember I was doing that before I had help with a good File Name script

hmm, it does set %albumartist% in the track tags, but doesn't update the album in the interface for some reason

so it should still work I think, even if it doesn't seem like it :)

you might want to also update albumartistsort to Various Artists

Ha.. it does :)

you = awesome

kyomi: that, I think we all agree with :D

So how would you do that?

picard scripting.. is new to me

I know how to do java though :)

same as the other line ;) $if(%compilation%,$set(albumartistsort,Various Artists),)

$if(%compilation%,$set(albumartist,Various Artists),$set(albumartistsort, Various Artists),)

oh.. so that wouldn't work?

you'll need two separate $ifs actually

Just a separate line?

yeah

ok :)

Whats the point of the ,) ?

it closes the $if

I thought it would just be a )

and after the comma would be the "else" but one isn't needed

Oh soo the comma is like a else

so technically.. it would read like this if ( tag == compilation ) then set(do stuff) else (do other stuff))

it goes $if(condition,then,else)

I think you can drop the final comma actually

the condition is (if the compilation tag is not empty)

ahh

everything is contained in itself

What did the %albumsortorder% do?

It didn't set the name release artist to Various Artist

It works anyway.. :)

There isn't a way to "chose" cover art for a release is there?

I like the cover art for the 16 track release better then the 22 track release.. but the 16 is missing two tracks

there isn't really…someone on the forums modified the coverart plugin to look for cover.jpg etc. in your folders, but nothing like choosing from an external source

ah well

What is a SACD?

I've never heard of that

SuperAudioCD

I don't own any myself

Ok.. now this is wrong

It's supposed to be Stomp

by George Clinton

I'd go on the other recordings and remove the PUID from them

How so?

click on the recording links, go to the PUIDs tab, and click remove next to 14d98f40-c94a-06dc-c4e9-9f098eb36ba6

ahh

Umm

I thought Amazon ASIN cover art showed up immediately even while pending an edit?

it used to, but currently there's a bug: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-2310

So it should work monday?

Or do I just point Picard over to test.musicbrainz.org for now?

yep, that's when the next release is

I could approve the ASIN edit for you

oh cool, thanks :)

btw.. that song is pretty awesome :)

edit is applied, but I'm not sure it'll work anyway since it seems to be a customer image :(

really?

any other way to get the icon?>

only by downloading it manually

argh

How can you tell if it's a customer image

?

it says "see customer image" underneath it on the page

hmmm

where was the list of acceptable cover art places?

Ekleipsi.com seems to have disappeared

that's exactly what archive.org is for ;)

ahh

Maybe you might know this

why does everytime I press shift+end to highlight a line and delete it.. does it copy that line to the clipboard

brb

not sure about the clipboard thing

shift-end just highlights everything, it doesn't have any direct effect on the clipboard. you still need to copy things separately.

unless you use linux, of course ;)

hmm. I suppose if I actually want to develop musicbrainz server stuff, I'll have to make it standalone instead of replicated slave.

but I still want the data replicated locally for other stuff. hmm. I guess I need two databases :/

sounds like it, yep

Using the new Picard 0.15, the CD Lookup window is always blank after clicking the "CD Lookup" icon on the UI. If I want to load a CD into Picard, I have to click "Lookup manually" and then click the green "Tagger" icon on the Web site. Are others having this problem?

it's a server bug, no idea when it'll be fixed

I'm not even sure if an issue was logged for it yet :/

any improvements to CD lookup should be a high priority.

get the bug in and hit me with a url please

ruaok: I think http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-2828 is the bug, but it's worse than when that was reported: now adding "?cdstubs=no" simply breaks every request

should I make a separate ticket for that?

no, just add a comment.

this bug is on my radar, but I'm not certain what to do about it.

okay. kepstin already added a relevant comment to the ticket, so I'll leave it alone

k

I think I will ponder it over the weekend and then put it on the agenda for the dev meeting.

I hope to have this fixed for the 8/8 release

although, that ticket seems to concern requests where the DiscID isn't known. now it's broken for releases where the DiscID _is_ known

please add that a comment.

whatever other info you dig up, please add as a comment.

okay

what is the deal with musicbrainz, puid, the (death?) of musicip?

the wiki pages suggest it's still puid, etc..

derwin: it still is

When it changes (and it will, at some point), it will certainly be notified

:)

but what's the story with it?

Hmm. I think I'm gonna have to tweak jesus2099's jasrac summary script a little bit. It's annoying when things move around and change sizes on a page, and auto-selection of text overwrites one of my copy/paste buffers :/

i was greatly confused by it

thanks for confirming my (as yet) unaired susspision that this was a bug
