        hmm, it's kind of nice that my dad was an early-adopter of CD technology, I have access to a decent collection of 80s and early-90s CD pressings :)
      • 2013-05-05 12525, 2013

      • kepstin_
        so different from modern mastering...
      • 2013-05-05 12557, 2013

      • kepstin_
        the jewel cases one some of these are so old they have 'patent pending' markings on them :)
      • 2013-05-05 12534, 2013

      • nikki
        haha, cool
      • 2013-05-05 12530, 2013

      • kepstin_
        strange that a bunch of these early jewel cases don't have ribbed sides
      • 2013-05-05 12533, 2013

      • kepstin_
        I guess that came later.
      • 2013-05-05 12553, 2013

      • kepstin_
        (the sides are smooth frosted plastic instead)
      • 2013-05-05 12553, 2013

      • kepstin_
        it's amusing that I have some cd cases with 'patent pending' written on them, but I can't find any that have a patent number.
      • 2013-05-05 12559, 2013

      • kepstin_
        so I guess the patent was rejected? :)
      • 2013-05-05 12506, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        or is "patend pending" just something people say, like "as seen on TV"?
      • 2013-05-05 12513, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        shorthand for "isn't our gizmo amazing?!"
      • 2013-05-05 12544, 2013

      • kepstin_
        'patent pending' means that they have filed a patent application with a patent office, but have not yet been granted a patent.
      • 2013-05-05 12523, 2013

      • kepstin_
        it provides some protection by indicating that a patent has been file, so that people will know to check if the patent has been granted/rejected before copying it.
      • 2013-05-05 12532, 2013

      • kepstin_
        http://www.google.com/patents/USD440108 appears to be a design patent covering the current standard jewel case design, but the file date is listed as April 10, 2000, which makes no sense...

      • kepstin_ has found a patent for alternate design for a cd case, filed 1986, granted to Cinram (the big canadian cd pressing plant of the time)
      • 2013-05-05 12520, 2013

      • kepstin_
        but that design has never been used as far as I know. It's a bit strange-looking :)
      • 2013-05-05 12557, 2013

      • peaveyman_
        Can picard be made to overwrite files instead of adding a (1) to the filename and adding the extra file
      • 2013-05-05 12559, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        oh, I know what it /means/. But it still seems like some kind of a marker indicating "so awesome, we're applying for a patent!"
      • 2013-05-05 12550, 2013

        peaveyman_: not that I'm aware of, no
      • 2013-05-05 12510, 2013

      • peaveyman_
        Ok
      • 2013-05-05 12519, 2013

      • peaveyman_
        That would be a good option to have though

      • kepstin_
        aww, this supertramp cd's scratched bad enough to be unrippable :/
      • 2013-05-05 12500, 2013

      • nikki wonders what kepstin_'s up to anyway
      • 2013-05-05 12501, 2013

      • kepstin_
        cd shop near me has a cd scratch fixing service tho where they refinish cds, guess I should make use of it :)
      • 2013-05-05 12515, 2013

      • kepstin_
        ripping and scanning my parent's cd collection, of course :)

        reosarevok when is a cd a compilation?
      • 2013-05-05 12516, 2013

      • reosarevok
        When it is mostly already-released music
      • 2013-05-05 12541, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        I'm thinking i have a wrong one Gotye - making mirrors is tagged as compilation
      • 2013-05-05 12552, 2013

      • reosarevok checks
      • 2013-05-05 12500, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Oh, wait
      • 2013-05-05 12508, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Tagged as compilation in the files, by Picard?
      • 2013-05-05 12510, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Or in the site?
      • 2013-05-05 12530, 2013

      • reosarevok
        In Picard, that just means "not all track artists are the same as the release artist"
      • 2013-05-05 12552, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        by picard
      • 2013-05-05 12510, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        owh!!!
      • 2013-05-05 12552, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        so picard checks track artist and release artist and tag it so
      • 2013-05-05 12530, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Yep, that's "compilation" in the iTunes / music player sense
      • 2013-05-05 12540, 2013

      • reosarevok
        I think it just tells players to use album artist?
      • 2013-05-05 12543, 2013

      • reosarevok isn't sure
      • 2013-05-05 12553, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        so if you have a track artist and a release artist it's a compilation
      • 2013-05-05 12545, 2013

      • reosarevok
        If they're different, yes - but you can change that with tagger script
      • 2013-05-05 12557, 2013

      • reosarevok isn't sure *how* but I bet there's some explanation in our forums somewhere
      • 2013-05-05 12513, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        thats weird
      • 2013-05-05 12547, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        then you have all the time different file namings
      • 2013-05-05 12504, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        track - artist - title
      • 2013-05-05 12510, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        track - title
      • 2013-05-05 12501, 2013

      • MarcelvanLeeuwen
        i can understand when it's a various artist cd you use this schema

        There's something in the forums, yes
