reosarevok: what OS are you on

Win7

ah

probably then :)

nope, not in firefox on linux :(

:/

Here it takes kinda long

But it works

not in chrome either. darn

I mean, it downloads it to tmp, of course

right

but since I don't have to do the effort, I don't care

maybe i ought to write a script

Probably :)

I think it's all JS

But no idea

You should probably ask ocharles when he is around tomorrow

Well, about the *outgoing* WS, it should be

We even have some not-too-correct documentation for it

correct process, i presume, is to upload the cover art, then delete the URL relationship

for liveweb.archive.org stuff

Or the other way around, but yes

PRetty much

oh ffs

That's the full size cover this band uploaded for the official download

WAY TO GO

looks legit

Doesn't the release editor look strange? :/

looks like it lost the padding under the tabs

Yeah

Dunno if it's by design...

here's a question -- if you have a release where each individual track has its own art, in addition to the main cover art, how should you handle that?

"other" for now

(and probably add a comment "Image for track n")

If you want "track image" added, you can propose it in the style list... I know at least warp wants that

Back to the stuff in my disc!

thx nikki

ffs

release search doesn't show format?

useful...

my scanner is plugged into a headless server (since it's a print server too)

so i have to figure out something there

Hi again ruaok!

How many images? :D

dunno. not logged in right now.

Once cover art has been uploaded, can we remove the "Has cover art" URL?

jacobbrett: if it's an archive.org url, sure

If not... dunno, maybe?

reosarevok: Wouldn't an editor likely be re-hosting the old URL image with the new system, no matter the source? (On another note, must I manually download then re-upload images already archived by the Wayback Machine?)

jacobbrett: sure, but I was thinking of the (admittedly unlikely) possibility of us getting some DMCA claim but still being able to get the cover from the other site

And... dunno

I've just copied the url, pasted it in the "upload" thing and it works

Although maybe someone will auto-import all those

maybe i'll actually write a script and not just talk abuot it

that seems unlikely

COVERS

http://musicbrainz.org/search/edits?auto_edit_f... :)

http://musicbrainz.org/release/c890f158-7efa-4d... to be precise

v6lur, don't you want to mail this kassetifriik guy and ask him to upload cover art? 8)

hmmm.. nobody thought to add label for cover art types or am i missing something

Label?

record label

its the only art we'll get for the first half of the 20th century

As in, the vinyl thing?

I'd call that "medium"

I mean, it's not the *full* medium, but...

wouldn't that be a picture of the record and not just the label

That's also a reasonable view, yeah

The list of types is very barebones-y since it was decided by like 4 people an afternoon

Anything else can (and should!) just be sent to style

i'm gonna have to use other for those, i thought that one wouldn't have been missed though considering its high usage already

Also, best cover ever? http://musicbrainz.org/release/91e2ae47-d0e7-43...

drsaunde1: make sure to set a comment that makes it easy to find them if "Label" is added

(something like "Label" :p)

ok will do

do you know if there's any plans to autoconvert exisiting archive.org links?

I think there is no plans of the MB team writing auto-importers

But I'm sure someone is planning to

Including the archive.org links

so this digital album has a PDF booklet

(just not the official team)

my plan is to rasterize each page out to a 300 DPI PNG and upload. does that seem sane?

ianweller: tag it, save the booklet, hope we can convince the Archive to host those

But... yeah, that works too

Except, jpg

JPG only?

We don't have png support yet

aww.

(ruaok said he'd ask the Archive for it)

okay one more question..only front cover art is gonna be shown of the main release page?

I suspect convincing them to host pdf booklets might be more thorny

PDFs are generally more thorny

drsaunde1: I suggested adding an option to switch front-back

But as you can see, the launch is pretty much barebones

well. back to the labels, in many cases the only artwork available

(we didn't even fix the "click on cover" thing)

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean

i'm gonna call my labels front cover so they will show..fuck it

For now there's no way to set anything that is not front to "primary, show this there"

I don't know if it's planned or not

That's also an option I guess :p

the option is "Front"

I mean, technically it might even be true

its the front label

Since there probably wasn't anything else on the front

So..

generic plain sleeve...we don't need photos of that

Yeah, that'd be kinda silly as a front picture :D

Front: white square

Back: white square

drsaunde1: remember you can use two or more types btw

(so it might make sense to use front *and* other, or whatever)

oh i didn't know more than one type..and i'll keep my label comment

lol...just noticed that for any artwork edits the artwork shows on the edit page...now thats cool

reosarevok: I kept saying that we need a way to distinguish the image used as the front image from actual fronts but it seems it went over everyone's heads :/

Honey badger don't care!!

and the archive seemed interested in storing absolutely anything, I guess we need to badger them into adding support

ianweller: you might be interested in voting for http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4114 (gif), http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4115 (png) and http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-4116 (pdf) ;)

i can't wait to have animated cover art!

(and anyone else who thinks jpg only is unnecessarily restrictive ;))

and add comments if you have any more examples of where those formats would be useful

voted.

is there a file size limit on the cover art archive?

15MB IIRC

hello

I'm not a native english speaker... How would you capitalize this for MusicBrainz ?

Mom N' Pop Shop (Interlude)

My guess is
