<reosarevok> v6lur, what's with http://musicbrainz.org/artist/73c6c26c-16e0-45b... ?

what of it?

Mostly: why have members there and not just as relationships?

possibly because i was too lazy to add them at the time

heh

not sure

It'd be nice if you could add them and remove it :)

now that i look at them, it *is* weird

heh

you should get a prize or something from the ministry of culture or whatever :D

I'd rather get Ester to map to MB :p

But yeah, probably not that easy

:p

(that's what I'm importing now / will do tomorrow)

I kinda suspect we could build a bot for this

That looks at freeDB, queries ESTER, looks at the MARC code, compares, and adds if it fits

("we" as in "someone", I certainly could not)

aahh - i know why i didn't just add them as ARs

(herald)

their roles in the band would be "lost"

Oh, I see

I guess they can stay there then - not that important

but i'll add them as ARs, too

As long as the rels are also in place

those who aren't already, hat is

Yeah

heh

I wonder if ester counts as "a discography entry"

Night!

night

(and as for ester as discography entry, i'm very hesitant... i don't think i'd add it as such)

hey, what data does Picard use when I have it set to "translate foreign artist name if possible"? I thought it looks at the sort name...

I'm asking because it returns uncapitalised "yonin bayashi" for this one http://musicbrainz.org/artist/63a002a8-395a-44f...

there're aliases as well, but they don't even have their locale set, so I'm a little confused

what version of picard?

it's straight from git, I suppose it might be a bug then

cloq: it only uses aliases that have locales set, so it's using the sort name

cloq: it looks like a server bug though, not a Picard bug, since it's returning the sort name as lowercase

e.g. http://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/bc21807e-cf...

it returns "Yonin Bayashi" as the sort name for the release artist, but "yonin bayashi" for the recording artists

cloq: I made a ticket for the bug here: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4263

bitmap: thanks :)

kepstin, I don't know what I'm looking at :O

man, I'm way out of practise using my drawing tablet. Throwing it in the bottom of a box for most of a year ≠ good idea.

hehe; I haven't used these, though I think I'll check them out for my own mockups: http://pencil.evolus.vn/en-US/Home.aspx http://wireframesketcher.com/

Thank you, kepstin ;)

man, using actual tools for stuff? that's cheating ;)

although the real reason for that is that my tablet was misbehaving with better drawing tools in weird ways :/

I'll have to poke at the drivers and see what's up with that.

I could always open up glade and throw together a 'real' gui quickly :/

wow

a dedicated music player, kepstin? That's a tall order

also poo he left

the actual playing of audio files he's probably using gstreamer for

it's mostly the MB integration that he's wanting to create

i want a music player that revolves around musicbrainz. if i were to import an album into the player, i would assign it an MBID, and tags would auto update

you may like the concept for riker then :)

riker?

kepstin's player

https://github.com/kepstin/riker pre-pre-alpha at the moment

i.e. doesn't actually play music nor have complete DB functionality, etc

[16:59] xpltI </3 Opera :(

[08:38] ianmcorvidaewe have unsecured wireless or other unsecured wireless (one of them has a once-per-semester

JELOUS!

my school is PARANOID to the extreemewhen it comes to security

[09:16] kepstin-laptopdynamic playlist: songs released in the 1980s with vocals performed by a female

[09:16] kepstin-laptopwouldn't playlists like that be ridiculously awesome?

yes

yes they would

derwin: Isn't that just the system Discogs uses for multiple artists with the same name?

yes it is but his guy is called moting (2) in porpewr afaik

motion

it almost looks like he did it on purpose cause of discogs

hey derwin, do you have last.fm?

jacobbrett: that's my point is, his normal name is Motion (2)

Ah

anyway now i have freinded lotsa people , help me bump sigil of my userbox x. plz? I'm sick of it being there for like a year or whatever. http://www.last.fm/user/Nasasie

huh? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16434655

do artist credits have an independent existence?

I thought they only existed as components of a tracklist of a medium

but I don't see a link to said medium on this edit's page

then again nor do I see a link a page for the purported artist credit object, which I suppose should exist if artist credits do have an independent existence

it's case there has been name changes

they guy didn't do enough research when adding the first artists. so now everyone is runnign around renaming nad merging his adds XD

to be fair he tries ot fix it too

now that's one juicy shoutbox

yes

please fill it with derp or nyancat or whatever

i want his bullshit of my page

apparently you cherish it to some extent

or you don't know you can just delete it

no you got it wrong. i keep it bnecause i don't delete comments

haha ok

i make qa point of not deletign comments. especially since *H*e did also delete my comments (and the comments of anyone who disagrees with him)

ok :)

in the track parser I currently have X.<tab>track<tab>artist<tab>(duration) but the artists don't seem to be parsed right, what's the format I should use ?

1. title - artist (duration)

ah, yes, great :-)

and if you have a jira account, voting on http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-2120 to show your support for more than just that would also be nice :)

I'll have a look at that when I'm done :-)

also, there are a few tracks with (feat: someone) I see there is a "credits" link for each track, is that what it's for ?

among other things, yes

it lets you credit multiple artists and/or artists using a variation of their name, so if "artist a" and "artist b" do a song together as "a & b", you can link both artists *and* say "artist a" was credited as just "a" and "artist b" was credited as just "b"

yes, got that

for featuring artists, we stick to " feat. " as the "join phrase" (the text that links the two artists)

(there's more examples of how to enter them at http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Titles/Featur... )
