reosarevok: well, yes, if you consider a (maybe constructed) example:
you have a VA release with composers written in Japanese, but the titles in rōmaji... so users might want a pseudo-release with the composers in Latin transliteration as well
composers = ACs
so in this case, I would set the script of the original release to "Japanese", and the new transliteration release to Latin (to distinguish both)
reosarevok doesn't know, whatever nikki says :p
reosarevok doesn't really know how people use pseudos :)
yes, it doesn't matter if the script is unset... because if someone wants to do this (add a pseudo-release), he can easily change the Latin script of the original release, the bot won't change it back
reosarevok: I thought it may be, though was waiting for a response. I think I'll just abstain.
reosarevok
I would abstain, yeah
But you should ask if it's a mashup
hrglgrmpf
hmm, I found a release that has only one track "Multiple Titles (See CD)" :-)
reosarevok
I wonder what happens with a mashup of two songs of the same artist :p
hrglgrmpf
I think we can make our live a lot easier if we adopt this practise for all releases...
reosarevok
Sounds like a plan, huh? :)
hrglgrmpf, on the other hand it *is* a sampler
So the "all in one track" part is probably right
hrglgrmpf
yes, of course... but the reference to the CD is funny :-)
reosarevok
(where the hell did it come from BTW?)
(no history at all!)
hrglgrmpf
reosarevok: this is fairly common for really old releases... I don't know why...
reosarevok
:/
Argh
nikki
hrglgrmpf: I think that would be a bit of a contrived and controversial example
hrglgrmpf
why? (I agree on contrived)
reosarevok

To make
Someone fix the recordings-from-release thing in beta
nikki
I would most likely vote no to adding a release where only the artist credits change, it's not necessary. picard can already use latin names (the primary use of pseudo-releases is tagging...) and we can already store localised names as aliases
neither are perfect, but neither is adding loads of pseudo-releases
reosarevok: thanks for pointing at that forum thread. I was gonna add that box set release myself. now I know I don't need to bother :)
I don't own it anyway and didn't realise it was gonna be so complicated...
hrglgrmpf
nikki: ok! I never used a Pseudo-Release, so this was completely made up
reosarevok
flamingspinach, it says there it's a distributor
flamingspinach
oh, you're right
reosarevok
So I would expect the releases to be under the specific labels
flamingspinach
yeah, never mind :)
reosarevok knows nothing about this specific one though

flamingspinach reosarevok : tower records is a shop . the listed releases are Tower records ONLY releases like if there were Amazon exclusives or Itunes exclusives etc.
flamingspinach
oh, I feel dumb now
jesus2099
they also have a production label but in these particualr cases (because they are tower exclusives) I thought better to put this distributor instead
I say “I” but I’m not alone
nikki
we don't use itunes or amazon as the label for itunes/amazon exclusives though
flamingspinach
I wonder why jesus2099 doesn't just stay in here if he's reading logs somewhere
The first ones are marked Armin, the rest van Buuren
But this is marked both
kovacsur
so, SultS, why would you keep them separate?
MBChatLogger
Honey badger don't care!!
reosarevok
I'd expect that to be "I just don't care, like honey badger"
Also, wtf, van Buuren is knighted?
The Dutch are crazy :)
SultS
kovacsur, because the name “Armin” was used officialy bu AvB, and on multiple releases. But it‘s mostly comparable to a band changing it‘s name at some point. I‘m not sure right now, do we merge these?
kovacsur
merging them has some practical advantages
reosarevok
SultS, we do if the changes are small I think
kovacsur
releases, recordings being in the same list
so I prefer to keep them together unless the differences are too big
"If a group changes its name and then continues to use that name, as above, this depends mainly on the extent of the change. If it is only a fairly minor change, it is fine to simply update the current entry and use aliases and artist credits for the variations. If it is a larger change, it is usually considered a new group. Again, what counts as a minor change varies from artist to artist."
SultS
I can definetly see pros of keeping these names together, but I‘m not sure it‘s the correct thing to do
nikki
hrglgrmpf: well I hate url descriptions and wish they'd go away :)
hrglgrmpf
hehe
voted no
reosarevok
So do I, but if we're going to keep them...
This kinda makes sense
It's really a description of what the link is, for once :p
hrglgrmpf
maybe we can use the description of the license URLs for better display in the future...
reosarevok, based on the description, I guess it‘s fine to merge… Still not sure I wanna vote yes to that though :P
reosarevok
I think abstaining is fine
nikki
hrglgrmpf: we'd still need to special-case them because of all the shit already in the descriptions, in which case it doesn't make much difference whether it's in the url description or in the code itself
reosarevok
SultS: we do have a way to change a release + all recordings now (in beta)
nikki
hrglgrmpf: and in the code means it can be translated later ;)
reosarevok
So if then we want to undo it, we can
hrglgrmpf
nikki: true...
nikki: feel free to vote no :-)
SultS
reosarevok, that‘s good to know.

v6lur, could you rename the thread to something like « [fixed] Conflict with another userscript » ? Thanks in advance. :)
hrglgrmpf
jesus2099: thanks a lot :-)!
jesus2099
héhé, thanks for using it
v6lur
done :)
jesus2099
thanks :)
nikki: maybe forget my piece of code that is removing tabindex, it can cause problem for editing existing dates (unless you copy legacy input dates to you date at loading time)
Clint joined the channel
nikki: I can add this too and give you again
nikki: I just remove it, updating pastie again…
