reosarevok: which page was the script broken on?

http://musicbrainz.org/artist/05812a7d-deff-4cd... was one of them

It just started saying "Error loading relationships"

(now it doesn't)

hmm, I guess it was only a temporary issue with the server timing out

Probably

I wonder if I hit some cap

yeah, 19 retries is a lot for it to still not work after

I mean, I tried to load 4 recording pages at the same time

I wonder if that angered MB somehow

Or it was just bad luck

having four recording pages open would probably break the 1 req/s limit

Hmm

Maybe it could just do the checking by request?

I mean, I find it useful to have n pages open, but not so much that it checks all of them at the same time

Even if it worked

I might be able to store the last request time in localStorage so that all tabs follow the same rate limit

Pagination is a server issue

And should be fixed there IMO

ocharles is working on it

But I bet you could help :p

yeah, for now I think I'd just make the script load new recordings on the existing page in some smart way

Actually, I almost enjoy pagination

It gives a sense of progress for cleanups

:p

that reminds me, I'm on page 5 of ZUN right now...

that's works tho, not recordings :)

Well, I do that too

But what I mean is that if you autoload more, it will be endless and might get depressing :p

What I'd like is to be able to set it to 100 recordings per page or 150 though

it's mainly annoying when I'm doing merges and I have to check the next page to see if I missed any

Isn't that more common for works anyway?

But yeah

I see the point

That's why I said the 150 per page thing

I dunno, I merge recordings more often than works

If it has more than 150... give up :p

hehe

(more than 150 that are the same)

it still depends on where they start on the page though…

true, true

I guess it varies a lot

gods how do you talk t so much in only a whole day

heh

Good question

scrollback of d00m!

Yay, one less Spanish composer!

(that sounds as if I killed the guy)

heh, oops

http://musicbrainz.org/release/4a6f4654-37f7-43... - wee, that was tricky to do works for

Someone please write my statement of purpose for grad school apps for me.

Leftmost, some /one/? We've got a whole style council at our disposal.

huh, I hadn't seen http://www.last.fm/discover before

that's kind of neat, it's all done in html5

CallerNo6, I'm not sure grad school apps are Style Council's forté.

I don't know; it's fairly esoteric, unreasonably competitive, and full of nerds ;)

temp-CDImage.flac: *** Got error code 2:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_FRAME_CRC_MISMATCH

what a sad thing to see ;(

is there any way to split release mediums into different releases?

SultS_: not directly. You can add a new release using the tracklist from another, then delete that tracklist from the first.

k, that’s not too hard

bah, it's annoying when people add discs from a release as separate releases: http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/b259e828-e...

^^^ votes go there ;)

hmm, big subscription email tonight

I guess that's a good thing :)

hrm. Do I really trust ISRCs enough to use them as a basis for merging recordings?

something corrupted all my album tags :(

I would have expected them to be merged, but hey, if people are against it, I don't really mind

any reasons besides those already stated

Well, it does look like the same release with two bonus tracks, just that one is put at the top

Except for the name, http://musicbrainz.org/release/c158a252-e521-49... is much more different than the vanilla album

(it's 60 min longer! :p)

rswarbrick, ping

pong!

(Good afternoon!)

I am now adding http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_co...

For a case like this (an orchestration of a full set) would you add a parent work too?

(and relate the orchestrated parts to it)

Or just relate them to the parts of the original one?

Ah, I see.

I'm pretty ambivalent.

Me too

I guess that since Ferrer obviously arranged the set, maybe the arrangement should get a parent work?

I am tending towards adding it, just to have an easy way to see them all together

One can always relate both the parent work to its original and the subworks to theirs.

Which avoids the "huh? two versions" thing.

Yeah, that's what I was planning to do if I added it

Ok, I'll do that then :)

Cool :-) I'll go back to reading German: http://www.obst-music.com/cds/sonnekus.htm

(incidentally, is the encoding broken for you too?

)

One web browser here tries UTF8 and the other tries Windows 1251.... :-)

I was wondering if Estonian computers have different defaults

Seems to work for me

But the comp is actually bought in the US

So probably not a good example of an EE comp :p

Heh. Fair enough.

(This is in Chrome / Win 7)

I'm on FF/Epiphany on Debian

(with a British locale, which might make a difference)

I should be on Debian too - I blame Team Fortress 2

:)

Anyway, I sent a polite email to the catalogue pointing out that they might want to use a <meta> tag to specify the charset. They can ignore me if they don't fancy it :-)

Ah, that is a good reason!

Oh, that reminds me

Meh

They didn't fix it

Because one of their links was broken

Well, it's their problem I guess.

They put opus.29html :p

An easy fix - but maybe they don't want to touch the code and will just report it to the IT person

Brill! Goodness knows what their CMS's code is doing :-)

(and it being Spain, they'll then report it to someone else, etc. just to avoid doing it)

Different question: Is there a standard for where IMSLP links go?

rswarbrick: that page doesn't specify an encoding either in response headers or in meta tags, so some browsers will try to guess based on content, others will just use the default

kovacsur: Yep, that's what I said in my email to them

(imslp:) I've been adding them to the "work page", but have just come across something that seems to link directly to the PDF

As in, I go for http://imslp.org/wiki/Je_te_veux_%28Satie,_Erik%29

and this one was to http://imslp.org/wiki/File:Satie_-_Je_te_Veux_%...

Is there an official preference yet?

I prefer linking to the page

Although admittedly, the page is for all arrangements
