        juhae, that was pretty awesome
      • 2011-12-01 33546, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (even with the madness at the end :P )

        ocharles, I imagine you are adding the links to all the SoundCloud pages you visit to MB? :p
      • 2011-12-01 33547, 2011

      • CatCat
        aar? juhae?
      • 2011-12-01 33554, 2011

      • reosarevok just realised the mix was on soundcloud - yes, after 1.2 hours of it

        CatCat, After Action Report
      • 2011-12-01 33519, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Basically, someone telling what they did in a grand strategy game
      • 2011-12-01 33533, 2011

      • reosarevok
        In a relatively cohesive and history-like way
      • 2011-12-01 33510, 2011

      • kepstin caught up on his subscriptions again, yay.
      • 2011-12-01 33524, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Entity or editor?
      • 2011-12-01 33554, 2011

      • kepstin
        entity. Editor is practically impossible, I only check out a few new editors here and there
      • 2011-12-01 33500, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Ok
      • 2011-12-01 33502, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Same here then
      • 2011-12-01 33510, 2011

      • reosarevok used to be able to vote on all the editor ones
      • 2011-12-01 33516, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Then came the "Merge recordings" edit
      • 2011-12-01 33523, 2011

      • kepstin should unsubscribe from autoeditors and jesus2099
      • 2011-12-01 33530, 2011

      • kepstin
        too many edits ;)
      • 2011-12-01 33543, 2011

      • reosarevok is subscribed to all autoeditors
      • 2011-12-01 33553, 2011

      • kepstin
        that's a lot of autoeditors.
      • 2011-12-01 33511, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Mostly because he expected all their open edits to be clear but not autoeditable / things that needed input
      • 2011-12-01 33517, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Again, it worked before Merge Recordings
      • 2011-12-01 33522, 2011

      • kepstin
        hmm. I suppose that's true.
      • 2011-12-01 33524, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (and to a lesser extent works)
      • 2011-12-01 33527, 2011

      • kepstin
        before merge recordings
      • 2011-12-01 33545, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Of course, as nobody seems to enter notes for merge recordings
      • 2011-12-01 33550, 2011

      • reosarevok
        It's kinda hard to vote now
      • 2011-12-01 33553, 2011

      • kepstin does occasionally purposely make non-autoedits, but most of them are merges and deletes.
      • 2011-12-01 33553, 2011

      • reosarevok
        :/
      • 2011-12-01 33501, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Same here
      • 2011-12-01 33511, 2011

      • reosarevok
        I tend to leave my Estonian release adds open for example
      • 2011-12-01 33518, 2011

      • reosarevok
        As I am not fully confident with them yet
      • 2011-12-01 33509, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But in general, yeah
      • 2011-12-01 33512, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Merges and removals
      • 2011-12-01 33527, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Still, 46 right now
      • 2011-12-01 33530, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Nothing too terrible
      • 2011-12-01 33539, 2011

      • kepstin
        all my merges have notes, at least :)
      • 2011-12-01 33518, 2011

      • kepstin
        ok, not all.
      • 2011-12-01 33523, 2011

      • kepstin
        but most of them.
      • 2011-12-01 33512, 2011

      • reosarevok is kinda curious to find out whether Estonian albums have ISRCs
      • 2011-12-01 33524, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (as I found a lot of Spanish ones that didn't)
      • 2011-12-01 33543, 2011

      • kepstin
        most independent releases that I've seen around here don't either
      • 2011-12-01 33502, 2011

      • kepstin
        and most big label releases before the 2000s as well
      • 2011-12-01 33515, 2011

      • reosarevok
        :/
      • 2011-12-01 33532, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But but but they're the only useful thing the industry has devised in the last 20 years!
      • 2011-12-01 33537, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Why don't they use it :(
      • 2011-12-01 33538, 2011

      • kepstin
        japanese labels seem to love them, at least.
      • 2011-12-01 33512, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Yeah
      • 2011-12-01 33532, 2011

      • reosarevok
        French ones seem to do the same - or at least the French DB is huge
      • 2011-12-01 33538, 2011

      • reosarevok
        If only other countries did the same
      • 2011-12-01 33558, 2011

      • kepstin
        yeah, it's annoying that the isrc standards don't require that they're made public.
      • 2011-12-01 33525, 2011

      • kepstin
        it's perfectly valid for a label to have them on a spreadsheet on someone's computer somewhere :/
      • 2011-12-01 33548, 2011

      • reosarevok
        P...p...public?
      • 2011-12-01 33552, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But that's dangerous!
      • 2011-12-01 33559, 2011

      • reosarevok
        People will, like, PIRATE them or something!
      • 2011-12-01 33528, 2011

      • nikki wonders what sort of labels reosarevok was looking at
      • 2011-12-01 33546, 2011

      • reosarevok
        nikki, what labels?
      • 2011-12-01 33548, 2011

      • kepstin wishes that the online jasrac database had artist disambiguation visible.
      • 2011-12-01 33502, 2011

      • nikki
        major labels?
      • 2011-12-01 33514, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Oh
      • 2011-12-01 33516, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Both
      • 2011-12-01 33521, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Major and indie
      • 2011-12-01 33527, 2011

      • reosarevok
        I found few ISRCs in both
      • 2011-12-01 33501, 2011

      • nikki
        I don't find that many on smaller labels, it's usually the major ones
      • 2011-12-01 33542, 2011

      • reosarevok
        I wonder what would happen if ISRC tried to change the standards
      • 2011-12-01 33559, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (towards mandatory public display)
      • 2011-12-01 33555, 2011

      • kepstin
        hmm. I wonder, Why don't we have a blog post on musicbrainz.org every once and a while (maybe once or twice a month) describing the RFCs proposed on the style council, and their status?
      • 2011-12-01 33517, 2011

      • kepstin
        to give a public notification of what things are changing
      • 2011-12-01 33528, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Because nobody wants to write them, I guess :p
      • 2011-12-01 33539, 2011

      • kepstin
        hmm. I suppose.
      • 2011-12-01 33542, 2011

      • reosarevok
        If you can convince nikki that Style Leader includes that... it might work :p
      • 2011-12-01 33504, 2011

      • nikki
        for a while, CallerNo6 was doing something like that on the forum
      • 2011-12-01 33512, 2011

      • nikki
        but iirc he said there wasn't much interest in it
      • 2011-12-01 33502, 2011

      • kepstin
        hmm.
      • 2011-12-01 33531, 2011

      • kepstin thinks that somehow pushing out notices to editors about style changes would be helpful.
      • 2011-12-01 33546, 2011

      • kepstin
        maybe integrate it with the hypothetical on-website notification system :)

      • 2011-12-01 33526, 2011

      • reosarevok
        That's why I think it's more useful to filter by countries first

        To make en more of an en kind of list

        Adding a release... the "Edit Note" tab says "Release Group: (new release group)" when the "Release Information" tab shows that I'm using an existing release group? Has it always done that and I've just never noticed?
