"The term release refers to a specific issuing of an album, single, compilation, etc., and includes a specific set of recordings in a particular order. A release often has several different editions such as a digital iTunes edition, or an edition with bonus tracks; these should be entered as separate releases"

kepstin-work: where did you find the disambiguation comments added by the script? i can't find it :S

A link to the quickstart might be great

culinko: that script puts the recording disambig. comments next to the track title in the track list
2012-08-16 22904, 2012

not to be unhelpful, but do you really expect contributers to read that much
i just ran into a track with different recording name and it's in brown-redish color :)
2012-08-16 22905, 2012
hawke_1
Yep
2012-08-16 22918, 2012

Yet another of the awesome things that script does

http://musicbrainz.org/release/65e7b4b1-663f-4f4f… digital media; I have the two CD release. So that would be a different release all together, right? I think the track listing is a subset of the digital format release.
Kepstin and hawke and culinko : thanks very much :) it put pressure on me I reall y have to maintain and make it always better (the inline stuff user script) :)

Kepstin what do you think putting disabled acoustics after like hawke suggested ?
2012-08-16 22923, 2012
jesus2099
Hawke and kepstin do you think it was good to default to contracted fingerprints ?
2012-08-16 22937, 2012
kepstin-work
the disabled acoustids after makes sense to me
2012-08-16 22949, 2012
kepstin-work
it's not like sorting them any other way is useful :)
2012-08-16 22901, 2012
jesus2099
Maybe I'll put all settings in the sidebar and remembered when I have time (and remove the classic part too)
2012-08-16 22940, 2012
jesus2099
Kepstin yes I let them in the order of the web service but I think I'll put the disables aft,, good idea

So far I haven’t found any where I couldn’t tell which one I was looking for
2012-08-16 22946, 2012
hawke_1
I always work off the first 4 or so anyway when searching
2012-08-16 22955, 2012

2012-08-16 22955, 2012

Yes it looks strange this is why I always hesitated to default it.... But then I saw that I never need more than that to compare them
2012-08-16 22902, 2012

Yep

I usually use the last characters myself :)
2012-08-16 22921, 2012
kepstin-work
oh, so it contracts the hash like how git uses only the first 7 chars by default?
2012-08-16 22948, 2012
hawke_1
kepstin-work: It’s not a hash but it does “dead…beef”
2012-08-16 22953, 2012
jesus2099
Git ? I don't know, I ,have not seen this
2012-08-16 22903, 2012
hawke_1
first 4/last 4
2012-08-16 22910, 2012
jesus2099
Yes, this

git has 40-character sha1 hashes to identify commits, but by default it only shows the first 7, because that's usually enough to tell them apart
2012-08-16 22953, 2012
kepstin-work
(if there are multiple things with the same first 7 chars, it'll show more)
2012-08-16 22954, 2012
ianmcorvidae
much like acoustids are long but usually you only need a subset (first four + last four) to actually tell them apart :)

kepstin-work, out of curiousity, why bother to keep stuff in lossy if you also have it in lossless?
2012-08-16 22917, 2012
jesus2099
Ah ok. I had the impression both start and end were useful to me... This is why it's currently like that
2012-08-16 22918, 2012

Brianfreud and I encode lossy mono for my Walkmans, I'm deaf one ear
2012-08-16 22944, 2012
brianfreud
I do it to, I just do it on the fly
2012-08-16 22903, 2012
kepstin-work
yeah, I find this to be a bit simpler; I just use rsync to copy music to my player :)
2012-08-16 22914, 2012
brianfreud
I just wouldn't have space to store lossy copies as well :P
2012-08-16 22914, 2012
jesus2099
I don't really use lossless, only for submitting fingerprints then delete. I only listen to CD and to Walkmans.

systemww
for the advanced search, what are the format: names
2012-08-16 22952, 2012
brianfreud
thousands of them... hard drive == far less space :D
2012-08-16 22958, 2012
brianfreud
even worse were all the cassettes
2012-08-16 22913, 2012
jesus2099
Did you sell everything brianfreud ?
2012-08-16 22914, 2012
kepstin-work
yeah, at least now music doesn't take up that much physical space
I bought some cds from the like, artist and their weird ass label
2012-08-16 22950, 2012
brianfreud
yeah, a majority; the rest of the CD originals got stolen a 5 or 6 years ago
2012-08-16 22953, 2012
derwin
limited to 300, lol
2012-08-16 22956, 2012
kepstin-work prefers to purchase digital lossless if he can, and will get a cd otherwise :(
2012-08-16 22901, 2012
jesus2099
Lossless and the CD player and amp only takes less than Demi second to light up and play
2012-08-16 22906, 2012
derwin
but I already had the music, most of it anyway, lol
2012-08-16 22913, 2012
brianfreud
most of the cassettes were boots I'd traded for; I got better copies on etree and such, and trashed the tapes
2012-08-16 22958, 2012
brianfreud
:P Only physical media I still have, save a few CDs in the car, is vinyl
2012-08-16 22902, 2012

hawke_1: yes I mean the "format" tag; what values does it accept?
2012-08-16 22904, 2012

Brianfreud I even use a disc man from time to time... But I have problem with stereo
2012-08-16 22927, 2012

Vinyl ?
2012-08-16 22950, 2012
hawke_1
systemww: Oh. ummm…it’s the medium types, but I think you have to do something stupid with the spaces. I can never remember, nikki always has to remind me.
2012-08-16 22955, 2012
hawke_1
jesus2099: vinyl. :-)
2012-08-16 22958, 2012
brianfreud
makes sense; I have to have at least one ear open while I'm working, so I only ever have the earbud in the right ear; stereo-effect stuff annoys me too then
2012-08-16 22907, 2012
jesus2099
Hawke eh :)
2012-08-16 22912, 2012
kepstin-work hates typing vinyl, he gets it wrong half the time.
2012-08-16 22914, 2012

hawke_1, isn't it the same values as the select in the RE?
2012-08-16 22927, 2012
hawke_1
brianfreud: Yes, but you have to quote it or do something for spaces.
2012-08-16 22929, 2012

2012-08-16 22939, 2012

kepstin-work has stereo stuff on his ipod, but he uses a stereo-to-binaural filter on the sound to make it more pleasant.
