I'M FIRST !

WOOHOOOO

how old are you?

10?

lol

Nikki: I recently discovered this "first"thing, it's so cool, laughable ! Haha

for idiots, sure

Sure

Funnier than ML anyway

(Ok, which is no challenge)

you really are a one-track record...

No, I'm apparently a 10 year old idiot on REPEAT A-B

no caa wears on the sanity

Am I supposed to understand what you said, doctor?

Because I didn't. :)

^ cover art archive is having issues

just got one myself -_-

"please lower your rate". O RLY? it was my first submission of the day :P

that bit will at least be improved in the next release :P

guess i'll go to lunch then.

drsaunde: they're looking into it

CAA's back

nikki: Flags have been gone for me since last update tho :-(

last update of the script?

or the server or what?

of the server

hmm

which browser?

ff

which version of firefox?

22.0

hm. works for me :/

maybe it's a clash with another user script

ok so i uninstalled and reinstalled and works fine

sorry to have wasted your time

that's ok :)

it's funny that a dozen years ago, i was an IT professional, now i'm growing luddite every day

let that be a lesson kiddies too much pot and you can't be nerd anymore

why there's [no label] at all? Leaving label empty signifies release has no label just as well.

well it's either [no label] or unknown label

is there's somewhere reasoning beyond making [no label]?

blank entry could mean that someone just hasn't bothered to enter it yet. '[no label]' is explicit

having nothing there *does* mean nobody's bothered to enter it

same applies to the catno and barcode

yes. which is different from "I have verified that there is, in fact, no label"

yeah, exactly

I was just saying it's not just "could mean" XD

ok, who's the pedant now? :D

:P

we probably should have checkboxes for that, like for barcodes.

yeah, it's annoying to have to type out '[no label]' and wait for the ajax entry :D

question: a cassette has (unlisted) spoken interludes between some of the songs. 2 Release entries are present, 1 which lists them as [spoken #x], 1 which doesn't list them. should 1 be a 'pseudo-release' of the other?

th1rtyf0ur: a cassette tracklist should follow the tracklist on the cover (if it exists), so that one should definitely be official.

ok. so the one that lists the [spoken] tracks is pseduo- then? or should be merged?

th1rtyf0ur: depends :)

since it's a cassette, there aren't actual tracks to distinguish separation

th1rtyf0ur: is there a CD release to compare this tracklist too?

ok, maybe this makes it easier- there are bootleg CDs that include the cassette on it, which separate the tracsk

th1rtyf0ur: do bootlegged/pirated copies usually have the tracks seperated?

no official ones, though

I mean, it's definitely not a pseudorelease, since those are for translations and transliterations

at least as far as the actual release status goes

th1rtyf0ur: in that case turn it into a bootleg release in the database.

ha, ok. i'd just changed it *from* bootleg XD

:D

i assume it's preferable to merge recordings than to change the recording at the release level, thus orphaning one & letting it get auto-deleted?

yes

merging keeps the mbids, so anyone with the old mbid will be able to find the new one

k, that's what i thought

i'm gonna need to write a new userscript then, so I can see what releases each recording appears on

unless there's already one that does that :)

where?

didn't see anything that looked like it did, though

on work/recording pages

the recording page already shows you though...

those list all the other recordings of a work, but unless they all have detailed disambiguation notes, you don't know what releases they appear on w/o clicking on each one

oh, you mean the list of an artist's recordings, not the recordings page itself

either artist/MBID/recordings or recording/MBID

recording/mbid does list the releases

recording/MBID lists the releases for *that* recording, but not for all the other recordings of the same work

oh

it justs lists them as '[live ][cover ]recordings: work (disambig.)'

then no, I know of nothing :P

for most things I'll be able to tell by what releases it's on whether it's the same recording or not

but it'll probably take a loot of loading, since it'll have to query each recording entry for releases

https://musicbrainz.org/work/8669da33-bf9c-47fe... has the most (700)

want the new VM?

that's kinda cheating XD

followed by https://musicbrainz.org/work/88f56c2a-2b47-432d... (610) and https://musicbrainz.org/work/187bd6ae-98f6-3416... (581)

ok, an actual song.

that's a lot. wonder how many are actually duplicates, heh

oh ffs

*there*. now with names XD

guess there's a lot of Nirvana & U2 bootlegs in there XD

sounds about right :P

wait… why's prose in MB?

lots of The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole- I have a hard time believing those are all unique recordings
