        I'm working on getting the GM Discogs script installed now.
      • 2013-05-07 12704, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        Is there a link on that github page to a download that I am just missing?
      • 2013-05-07 12714, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        I can see the source of the script.
      • 2013-05-07 12738, 2013

      • hawke_1
        you need to save the script and then load it into greasemonkey, I believe
      • 2013-05-07 12746, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        OK
      • 2013-05-07 12715, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        Greasemonkey instructions suggested one could often click a link.
      • 2013-05-07 12719, 2013

      • derwin
        I have always clicked the button that said
      • 2013-05-07 12722, 2013

      • derwin
        "install this script" ?
      • 2013-05-07 12733, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        I just see a copy to clipboard link after the script name.
      • 2013-05-07 12743, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        Which I could obviously do and then paste it into a file.
      • 2013-05-07 12753, 2013

      • reosarevok
        ArtGravity: yeah, github isn't a place to install scripts per se, like userscripts.org
      • 2013-05-07 12753, 2013

      • derwin
      • 2013-05-07 12756, 2013

      • derwin
        "install" ?
      • 2013-05-07 12714, 2013

      • reosarevok
        derwin: I had given them the github link in case it was more up-to-date
      • 2013-05-07 12718, 2013

      • reosarevok
        but I guess that one works too :)
      • 2013-05-07 12721, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        ArtGravity: if open a file named "*.user.js" in the web browser, greasemonkey would open an install prompt
      • 2013-05-07 12713, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        Just looking for a link to the file from the github

      • 2013-05-07 12731, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        excellent
      • 2013-05-07 12734, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        since that ends in .user.js, clicking that will open the greasemonkey install prompt :)

        not directly related: Anyone think that http://books.google.com/books?id=-UQEAAAAMBAJ&… is a good enough reference for “Sonora MS 476” being released in 1947?

        Problem is that everyone wants it for that game… :-)

        some fancy high-donation rewards there, too.

        hawke_1: well, I'd buy it for Stacking and Costume Quest
      • 2013-05-07 12727, 2013

      • reosarevok
        But if I can get BL, that's better :p
      • 2013-05-07 12742, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Stacking is great, Costume Quest not so much
      • 2013-05-07 12759, 2013

      • hawke_1
        IMO of course.
      • 2013-05-07 12717, 2013

      • reosarevok
        I mean, I bet it's good enough for $1

        hmm - need to figure out how to make abcde prefer MusicBrainz to CD-Text
      • 2013-05-07 12758, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        man abcde :)
      • 2013-05-07 12731, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        I guess I can test drive Picard's tagging ability after abcde rips & tags with the bad CD-Text
      • 2013-05-07 12744, 2013

      • ArtGravity
        Kind of sad that CD-Text on the official release is inferior to MB data
      • 2013-05-07 12740, 2013

      • culinko
        hm, when i change the joining phrase in AC from "Feat." into "feat.", it's not an autoedit anymore :/
      • 2013-05-07 12743, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        iirc, the case change auto edits only ever worked properly on titles

      • flamingspinach
        under the list of releases, the first entry says the track number on that release is "1/4"
      • 2013-05-07 12707, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        but actually it's track "A1" on medium 2 of the release
      • 2013-05-07 12719, 2013

      • reosarevok
        it lists position, not track name
      • 2013-05-07 12729, 2013

      • reosarevok
        and in the specific medium, not on the full release
      • 2013-05-07 12730, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        OK, but what about the fact that it's on medium 2?
      • 2013-05-07 12745, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        hm

        if anyone have some time, could you please look at some of my autoedits? i just did some decapitalization and would like to know if i didn't forget something obvious or if i did something wrong:) http://bit.ly/YDzSgX (19 releases), thanks:)

        is there an easy way to what artists have a sort name that starts with "the "
      • 2013-05-07 12743, 2013

        +see
      • 2013-05-07 12745, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        probably not without a database
      • 2013-05-07 12748, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        er, hm
      • 2013-05-07 12753, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        the browse pages might use the sort name
      • 2013-05-07 12756, 2013

      • MissDee_
        ok
      • 2013-05-07 12700, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        so maybe if you go to "the" in the browse page
      • 2013-05-07 12728, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        oh, feh, browse is down right now because of the DB load, that's right:/

        yeah
      • 2013-05-07 12748, 2013

      • MissDee_
        tempted to use the sort name rather than the replace method, but wondering if it'll confuse me
      • 2013-05-07 12708, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        in general, "the" *should* be at the end, but it's not always done right
      • 2013-05-07 12721, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        sort names are a strange corner of MB
      • 2013-05-07 12754, 2013

      • 2013-05-07 12732, 2013

      • MissDee_
        I just went for first letter of the artist sort name, or the album name for various artists
      • 2013-05-07 12735, 2013

      • MissDee_
        is it normal for a recordings acoustid to change?
      • 2013-05-07 12748, 2013

      • Ben\Sput
        MissDee_: depends what you mean by "change"? :)
      • 2013-05-07 12730, 2013

      • Ben\Sput
        if the audio is the same, then it'll always produce the same fingerprint/acoustid
      • 2013-05-07 12704, 2013

      • ianmcorvidae
        the recording <-> acoustid mapping can change, the file <-> acoustid mapping shouldn't

      • 2013-05-07 12709, 2013

      • hawke_1
        but the fingerprint/acoustID mapping can change.
      • 2013-05-07 12738, 2013

      • hawke_1
        Also a looked-up acoustID can be different than the one that you get after you submit a new recording.
