        How long does it take for amazon ASIN to result in album having art?
      • navap
        I thought it was instant
      • kionmaru
        Uh, well, I've added one and it still says no cover art.
      • kepstin
        navap: I hope there's a bug open for that RG display issue
      • (it's happening because both of the release groups in that artist have no type set)
      • navap
        kepstin: I created MBS-4817
      • kepstin
        man, I really wish gimp made proper use of multiple processors.
      • some things in it are really slow, and are using <ΒΌ of my CPU power :/

      • pile on one side of my desk gets smaller, pile on the other gets bigger :)
      • man, the one problem with mbids is that you can't really write them down and expect people to type them in.

      • so, is a single for a theme song from a tv show a soundtrack single?
      • kurtjx joined the channel
      • CallerNo6 joined the channel
      • arg, they did that thing again where some of the tracks on the releases on the indie music bundle have mismatched sample rates :(
      • (that breaks album replaygain calculation)
      • ianmcorvidae
        kepstin: there was a time where we were talking about turning MBIDs into numbers and base64-encoding them as a sort of short-mbid
      • which might be better
      • it'd at least be shorter, I suppose
      • kepstin
        oh great - one of the things in this indie game music bundle appears to be a compilation of 4 different game soundtracks
      • billy_ran_away joined the channel
      • the awesome bit: the music from each game is in a different subdirectory in the zip file
      • billy_ran_away
        I'm adding a new album release but I can't the Add Artist Credit link for doing a feat. in the title...
      • Is that link in the Tracklist tab or Recordings tab?
      • Nevermind I just found it
      • kepstin
        so, are the separate folders in a release different sides? different media?
      • (they have titles, so media might be most appropriate)
      • and the numbering in each folder restarts at 1.
      • the person who originally added it to musicbrainz did it in an annoying way: http://musicbrainz.org/release/8b9d3e6a-7a03-46...
      • DocPlatypus joined the channel
      • navap
        Different titled folders suggests to me that they be added as different mediums. What'll you do about Noitu Love and Noitu Love 2 tracks though?
      • kepstin
        navap: what about them? they're in separate folders.
      • track numbers 1-25 and 1-25
      • billy_ran_away
        Anyone care to double check my edits? http://musicbrainz.org/user/billy_ran_away/edit...
      • navap
        Oh, I thought you had four folder but saw five games
      • kepstin counted wrong - it's 5 folders for 5 games
      • kepstin
        I wish there was a better way to split a single medium in a release into multiple mediums
      • I suppose it doesn't come up often, though.
      • bah, I tried to do it in http://musicbrainz.org/release/8b9d3e6a-7a03-46... but the recording linking failed
      • kionmaru
        Bah
      • kionmaru stabs his desktop
      • kepstin
        I manually selected the recordings in each track, it should have worked :(
      • kionmaru joined the channel
      • kionmaru
        Ohhhh.
      • This is peer voted, isn't it?
      • kepstin
        kionmaru: all of the edits on musicbrainz go through a peer voting process, yes
      • kionmaru: you should read through http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Introduction_to_Voting to find out exactly how it works
      • kionmaru
        kepstin: Yeah, I'm going to do that now.
      • I thought there were actual specific editors/reviewers
      • kepstin
        there are some editors (like me) called "autoeditors" with a few additional priviledges.
      • for example, I can immediately approve certain types of changes, instead of waiting for 2 weeks.
      • kionmaru
        Ah.
      • Adding new albums not already on the site
      • This isn't the first time I've had to encode all my dad's CD's, and if I have to do it one more time I don't want to have to tag everything by hand
      • kepstin
        adding new albums isn't normally a problem on musicbrainz - they show up immediately, and you can tag in picard with them right away
      • feel free to ask in here if you have any issues - although it seems to be kind of quiet around at the moment :)
      • kionmaru
        lol :) Uh
      • How do I give you my edits to look at - not to have you do anything with them, but as a quick check to make sure I haven't done anything egregariously stupid? And, *grabs picard* warp factor five...
      • kepstin
        just tell me your musicbrainz username, then I can search for your user page and see them there.
      • kionmaru
        kionmaru.
      • :)
      • kepstin
        right, the url to see your edits is just http://musicbrainz.org/user/kionmaru/edits
      • kionmaru
        Oh okay
      • Okay, picard *does* see it now.
      • kepstin
        looks ok in general, although I don't know anything specific about the release in question.
      • kionmaru
        Still not pulling the amazon cover though.
      • Hey, I pretty much know what's on the CD
      • ...and that's about it.
      • kepstin
        kionmaru: there's a bug on the server right now where the amazon covers aren't working, that'll be fixed within the week.
      • kionmaru
        okay.
      • Sweet, ty, I must have spent half an hour trying to figure out how I was doing it wrong.
      • What happens if I get 0 votes?
      • kepstin
      • but in general, if the edit goes 2 weeks with 0 votes, it just auto-passes
      • kionmaru
        okay
      • ianmcorvidae
        there are 2,249 releases that are an exception to that
      • which is to say: 0.2% of our database
      • so don't worry about it :P
      • kepstin
        ianmcorvidae: any opinions on my edits on http://musicbrainz.org/release/8b9d3e6a-7a03-46... ?
      • ianmcorvidae looks
      • i'm splitting a digital release into one medium per folder in order to make the folder titles visible, and have the track numbering make sense
      • ianmcorvidae
        hm
      • I'm unsure, I don't know that I have an opinion on this
      • kionmaru
        kepstin: Actually, introduction to voting doesn't cover 0 votes.
      • Or if it does, I'm not parsing it right.
      • kepstin
        the digital release is basically a collection of 5 separate soundtracks stuck into a single zip file
      • kionmaru: it kind of does, in the flowchart image
      • ianmcorvidae
        kionmaru: look at the flowchart, yeah
      • kionmaru
        kepstin: No, it specifies +1 yes or +1 no
      • ianmcorvidae
        (that's my addition, I haven't touched the rest of the page :P)
      • kionmaru
        then maybe I'm getting a proxy buffer
      • kepstin
        there's a dashed-line saying "2 weeks" going from "Open, unappliend, no votes" to "Closed, applied"
      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah, there's a line for just "2 weeks"<
      • kionmaru
        sneaky.
      • kepstin
        it's a complicated flow-chart
      • kionmaru
        No
      • I'm tired.
      • ianmcorvidae
        the meanings of the line types aren't necessarily clear, I don't think
      • kionmaru
        No, they aren't; but I should have figured that one out. Sorry. >.<
      • ianmcorvidae
        but it was sourced from a much more complicated flowchart describing a proposal, and I didn't change the lines :P
      • kepstin
        rather, that's the simplest flow-chart possible that covers the complicated and poorly-aging edit system :)
      • kionmaru just had one of those "Oh wow, am I blind?" moments
      • ianmcorvidae wonders if I still have the more complicated one somewhere
      • (people keep making plans to change/improve the edit system, but nothing's happened yet :)
      • kepstin thinks that http://musicbrainz.org/privileged should probably put the names into a table so they look less messy.
      • ianmcorvidae
      • kepstin: presumably that's a template change, you could do it :P
      • kepstin
        ianmcorvidae: yeah, now that I know where the templates are :)
      • ianmcorvidae
        (I made up all the terms on that graph, incidentally, it was for a proposed change to describe the status of edits better :P)
      • kepstin
        my last attempt at a webservice change ended up crashing my dev server, though :)
      • ianmcorvidae
        :P
      • STalKer-X_r joined the channel
      • kepstin
        it turned out that I was missing a '->' in one place
      • kepstin leaves those changes to the 'Mubla Evol Ution' release open so other people can see them.
      • kionmaru
        lol
      • I hate that
      • kepstin
        anyways, midnight here and I should get some sleep :)
      • kionmaru
        lol laters kepstin
      • kepstin would be in bed now, but his music player keeps picking good songs :(
      • kepstin
        ok, picked on now that's merely mediocre. I'm off ;)
