I *think* that should be safe to remove across the merge. It's certainly safe to remove from the release you're merging *into*

Titles will remain as the ones of the release you're merging it into, so you can ignore that if you merge into the correct-ish one

ah, that's good

so what about the label? The incorrect label will be copied over right? So do I just open the merge edit, then wait for it to be merged, and then correct the label?

reosarevok: i don't like that edit, but i am not about to get in a web of tangles with teleguise

johtso: well, I'd enter the removal for the incorrect label

It will either be removed, and all is fine

Or fail, and then it'll tell you it couldn't remove it and you could just enter a removal again

reosarevok, aha, so step 1 enter edit to correct label on release, and then enter edit to merge?

I doubt the order in which they're entered matters much

It'll depend on the order they apply in

I guess you could remove it first, yes

That way if both expire after 7 days, I guess that'll be dealt with before the merge

About the linked edit: the main question is - are legal name artists and legal name aliases on the performance name mutually exclusive?

Or is it OK to have both?

ah

this has been around sice 2008! and I make just one little mistake http://musicbrainz.org/edit/21240998

BAM 3 people find it

it's hilarious

(but suspicious than the other edits fixing this mess are untouched)

exept for jesus voting yess on a few of the fixes, thanks man!

CatCat: greycat is Russian and probably subscribed to that artist, salo follows a search of no-voted stuff (I think) so will see it because greycat voted no, and jesus seems to be voting on more of the fixes

Easy solution! :)

heh

man

ASOT's audio/video sync problem is annoying

who is Asot?

I have to find chromium jozo, I don't remember having these errors in operaff and chrome. So let me see that but maybe Monday?

a state of trance?

i think its armin van buuren's weekly trance show/podcast

hello CatCat!

halla!

/c/c

was that to me intgr ?

Heh no, I wanted to type the command "/c" but forgot I had already typed it

short hand for /clear or?

Yeah

I do the sme :D

also /t for /topic

:)

yes, ASOT is van buuren's podcast

also his festival

Freso, looks good to me.

Leftmost: ?

The slides. That you asked about.

Hours ago.

Had a late night. Solas got over at around 11 or so and I still had to drive back, which was a few hours extra.

Leftmost: Ah, right.

Leftmost: Did you look at them just now?

Or when?

am i somehow retared? http://www.discogs.com/Uriah-Heep-Very-Eavy-Ver... I see so many duplications O_O

for examplehttp://www.discogs.com/Uriah-Heep-Uriah-... http://www.discogs.com/Uriah-Heep-Uriah-Heep/re...

how are these not the same

same lable and palce date and cat#

you see differencies if you compare pictures

check for example pictures of medium

One says "Title on gatefold front is silver". Other says "Title on gatefold front is white"

could be simple print error at this pint

point

antway

i hope we don't go tho that level of abstraction, it seems litte point

apropos of http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=...

CatCat: That would make them have different values, and since discogs is mostly a collector site, that matters

Not that much for MB - although theoretically they'd be different releases for us too I'd say, but I doubt anyone'd care enough to enter them :p

it gets to the point where its probalby just a differnt pressing

CallerNo6: heh, I certainly would see different colour vinyl as a different release

so this pressign has silver text, the first had white, etc

but yes

it am happy for the return of release events

reosarevok: really? I wouldn've thoughtj it'd be enough to note "available in five colors, collect them all!" in the annotation

lol

yes

seems to be "release in colours2

but i see what reo mens, but again, seems same release

this sort of thing.. ugh

CallerNo6: Pretty much every person I knew cared about vinyl colours enough to be like "I have the red one and you have the black one and we have different releases"

Well, they wouldn't say it like that, because they are punks, not metadata nerds, but still, they see it as different

reosarevok: oh, so you're gonna play the "I know people" card.

like shiny pokemon

still a pichu, but shiny

Now grooving to: Junichi Masuda, Go Ichinose ~ Route 1 (1:15) (from Pokémon Gold & Silver) (2000)

:Å

Okay, I defer to the collectors, as long as it doesn't lead to a proliferation of recordings.

er, _further_ proliferation

<3 CallerNo6

CatCat: isn't that pretty much what releases and release groups are already? :p

7me hates this "make more recordings" bs for things wich are strictly speaqking "the same"

Also, I don't understand why the android MusicBrainz app doesn't need to read my contacts, when every fucking other app thinks it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

becase who amde it isn't a doucebag

?

What? Are you people the good guys or something?

haha

clearly jdamcd just doesn't know how you're supposed to write android apps

if they're not a privacy nightmare you're DOING IT WRONG ;)

<totally />

but for now. bedtime

natta musicbrainz!

meeeh

Of course he just left

Well, tomorrow then

Freso, a couple hours ago.

Leftmost: Alright. Please look at the current version then. :)

I want to go through a bunch of recordings and group them, but I'm still not sure how to approach it to avoid doing more harm than good..

this song for example: http://musicbrainz.org/taglookup?tag-lookup.tra...

According to this website there were only 4 recordings including 2 live recordings http://www.belafontetracks.ca/song%20index%20i-...

Is it enough to listen to the tracks on spotify to see which recordings are which, or do I have to be careful about remasterings?

johtso: Considering its age, I'd be wary of "noticeably different" remasters (especially when remastered for digital releases). We don't have very good guidelines for this sort of thing at the moment, though.

jacobbrett, it's a shame there's no way of adding information about the sources of recordings without having to go into subtle differences

johtso: How would that work when often there are only subtle differences to differentiate them? You could relate the Masterer and mastering date, I suppose.
