huh, interesting. public collections on musicbrainz are indexed by google

see http://www.google.ca/search?q=site%3Amusicbrain...

it even parses out the table and formats it nicely in the results.

hmm. ordering the special edition version of this new HIMEKA album would cost me $50 + shipping :/

on the plus side, I can buy it through my own cdjapan affiliate link to get my self credits ;)

kepstin-laptop: if you ever find some incorrectly merged acoustid, please add it here https://github.com/lalinsky/acoustid-server/wik...

do you know any case when karaoke and non-karaoke versions are merged together?

The documentations says it needs PyQt 4.5 or newer, I have 4.6.2 and qt 4.6.2 as well. So maybe the docs are wrong.

hm, the function should be in qt 4.6

but maybe not pyqt 4.6

the manual only refers to the Qt API, not the PyQt one: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs...

anyway, qnetworkaccessmanager.sip from PyQt4 4.6.2 does not list this method

AFAIK there is no public vcs for PyQt, so I cannot check where it was added

at least PyQt4 4.7.3 has it, so it would be safe to bump the dep to this version

I filed a number of bugs related to the current track editor not working very well at all when information comes from somewhere else

import from cd stub only imports the first track. import from freedb doesn't give anything. an empty track list based on a toc only gives the first track and its length...

I'm kind of surprised this update was pushed at all - does this sort of stuff not get tested before upgrading ?

thomasvs: also, the button to swap artist and title for V/A releases is missing.

yah, hadn't even noticed, since I haven't even tried using the actual track editor. Have a pile of CD's now that I can't rip because I can't add their info properly :/

reosarevok: maybe you read this, : you could add an image search link targetting to top-right of wikipedia search page that adds a picture search http://images.google.com/images?q=ARTIST+NAME+HERE that would help to edit gender at the same time :)

but nice reports by the way

just too many, i prefer to edit from my discs, that generates too much work already héhé

right, time to fix the relationship display

[03:24] *reosarevok wonders whether there's a ticket for multiple start-end dates for bands

if you find one, please to be linking it

also what are the strange two boxes on the bottom of http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=no ?

CatCat: click some of the links and you'll see

hawke, http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Audio_Fingerprint heh

nice..

loads of those are my fault in the first place..

what's that list generated from? WP links on MB?

yep

I believe so

looks like it, a test of 5 or so all show the WP link.

MJ, you mean http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=no ?

yeah

All artists in MB with no country set and a link to the Norwegian wiki

Dutch guy, but with loads of Norwegian ties.

so far, 99% of these I added :-P

:)

:p

Examples?

everything I don't want to see fixed :P

Well, sure :p

Shouldn't a comment explaining why you think it's a bad idea help though?

yes, that's why I didn't add a wontfix button to my app in the end

ufff, really need to sort some scheduling out soon

i've been so unproductive recently :(

what do you think about a bot for adding WP artist links like this? http://test.musicbrainz.org/user/lukz_bot/edits...

it searches wikipedia by name, and then verifies that the article contains some release group names

looks good to me :)

luks, only for en?

*set

so far only for en

nikki: am I right on http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-3865 ?

yes

rfc required or close?

RFC required

But it is not a bad suggestion anyway - I mean, we've considered it several times :p

Hmm

Can't we do both?

(close as RFC required)

that sounds nice

we would need to make rfc required a resolution rather than a status then

yea, but making those changes is not really a problem

Then I think it'd make sense

is there any way you could pre-fill the edit note from a GET url?

because adding 'See <wikipedia url>' every time I make an edit via http://mb.lmfao.org.uk/reports/wikipedia?d=no get's tedious after a while :-)

?edit-artist.edit-note=should+work

reosarevok: I take it you developed the wikipedia report?

nikki did

ah

nikki: ^ feature request. :-)

I love the domain name, btw.

refresh

MJ vould this help http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/94629 ?

yes, that'd help

although.

no

not in this case, as every edit is a new WP url.

it'll help with other edits though.

I know a script that does import used URL into edit field though

MJ, nikki said refresh

:-)

yes

she did

thanks!

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36376 but this is not exactly it

but I guess problem solved :)

luks: that bot looks nice

Yep, it does :)

Between this and the Discogs bots, we should get links populated in no time!

there's a discogs bot?

Well

SultS: not applicable at all to my case now

I don't know if it is a discogs bot

there is one for labels

That's what I meant, yes

but I'll install that anyway, coz I do see plenty of use for that one for CDs I add.

It might be our dear Finnish guy adding them manually

But I would assume it's a bot

luks: which editor?

ugh, I can't remember

ah :/

I've seen it mentioned here

Jokipii?

(or similar)
