same here,i can feel the cold air coming in from the closed window

I was supposed to get a new one but nothing happened until know...

we still have windows open here at work. (it has been raining a lot though).

it's cold here today too

but otherwise seems quite nice outside

gotta go for a walk now,yeah

Damn you, OCLC, and your unreliable web service.

Is there a reason for having a track named "United States of Eurasia / Collateral Damage" instead of "United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)" as it is printed on the CD cover?

that question's a bit hard to answer without context

vorspeil *is* forplay. that which is played before (the real concert part etc)

it is in norway roo

if both "usoe" and "collateral damage" are songs on their own, the reason is probably http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles/Multipl...

lol wagner vorspiel \o/

eh

lol ZaphodBeeblebrox

same in german ^^

Mineo: Thanks. I guess the first song finishes, then there's a sort of interlude until the end of the recording.

th1rtyf0ur: did you say you had a modified script that could batch edit some works' language?

seriously?

I can has??

ok that was rare bu

This year?

but now. it's 20 degrees and its actually possible t oswim. heh

my internal clock is busted though. I'm allon "i'ts fall, bring rainclothes and socks" and the waether is all like "nope lol i'mma gonna make you sweat"

[10:56] <th1rtyf0ur> if I don't hear anything in a few days I'll just pull it out into its own standalone script & upload that <-- also wants

hi reosrevok

wht

reosarevok

sticky keys

I was searching for this thing and then came over http://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-Lula-CARD-SLEEVE-2-t...

i mean. WTF? is it the bebopalula or is it the shower gel???

also engrish

best part is it's so cheap I would buy it. but p&p means it wont be cheap :/

"While we work to ensure that product information on our website is correct, on occasion manufacturers may alter their ingredient lists"

Like, the ingredients say shampoo, but it's a CD? :p

that's cheap?

whether it's a 2 track cd or shampoo, it's expensive either way :P

heh

Agreed

Hi everyone. I asked a question at the forums, I'd be delighted if someone could answer. http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=...

hello

heh, pregap

I wouldn't have even known it if Morituri hadn't ripped it for me :)

Pregap is weird in that we can't even add them normally to CDs

Usually they're added as a standalone recording

(unless that's changed by now, but I don't think so - IIRC it's a downside of the discID system)

Still that question has nothing to do with it being a pregap..

Well, it kinda does

Since for a recording title, you could probably just name it however you feel like it should be named :)

(while for a tracklist it's a bit weird with extra tracks)

Should I add it as track 0 in tracklist?

I'd probably call it just Sheikki Ali Omar Hassan and put (rehearsal) or whatever on the disambiguation comment for the recording, I think

That's the thing, it won't even let you if you have a discID

(since discIDs don't include pregap)

it's less of a discID problem, then of a DB-problem. The disc ID/TOC does include that the first track start after a lot more than just 2 seconds pregap.

Hmm

Ok

It's tricky in any case

the discid does include the amount of sectors before the first track, which is the pregap

(usually just 150 sectors = 2 seconds)

Yes, I can't add it, this needs to be fixed. I'll just list it in annotation then.

some time ago we just just non-album-tracks for this. Does this still work with NGS?

Sami-Perkele: add a recording, and link it in the annotation

(that way you can relate it to the work, and add any other relevant info - and tag with it, even if it's not really tagged as part of the release)

btw, tomorrow (around 8am california time, 16:00 uk time) the IA are doing maintenance for a couple of hours which is likely to stop cover art uploads from working

hi nikki, isn’t there a ticket for this problem ? For a search hint add, you have to submit a sort name even if it’s not used in the end — but appears in the edit https://musicbrainz.org/edit/23702012 but HOPEFULLY not when you edit https://musicbrainz.org/work/2f4978a8-6ba7-35a7... nor when you search

nikki: wasn’t there an existing http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-6737 too btw ?

oh found it nikki, first time i find but it took so much time !

MBS-6402

but did not find the sort name problem yet

kepstin-work: hey have a look at my latest JASRAC work importer http://i.imgur.com/M6j1pi8.png I’m so proud it gains me much time adds everything now (add work, credits, annotation, aliases) at once… it’s only missing submitting the lyrics URL from edit note to AR… it’s what i do next time

jesus2099: heh, those UI additions look useful even without the jasrac import.

putting credits and aliases in at creation time would be convenient :)

without coming from JASRAC nor pasting a JASRAC content, you will only get the existing aliases, and type+lang button shortcuts i guess…

maybe i should make ADD ALIAS always show up ?

(it shows you existing aliases when editing an existing work)

but does not show you add alias if no jasrac

yet

another thing i’d like (lyrics and) is make a search for duplicate when you are about to add the work

I want to add

remix credits are release creation time

I want to substract!

Oh

That's kinda harder I suspect :)

*at

kepstin-work: yeah me too :) it’s too much gadget indeed

reosarevok: well, at that point, you're pretty much just embedding the relationship editor into the release editor :)

kepstin-work: which might be useful, admittedly - but first we should make the release editor less brittle

Let's see how the GSoC ends up :)

kepstin-work: the AR part is very stable i’ve been using it for months, the alias part is brand new and still unstable I guess… i have to test it with non japanese works to see if it does not suggest some funny stuff  :)

i use the release editor work search and if not found i have an opera search shortcut on JASRAC by name and import it then paste the MBID URL back in release editor (the importer gives you this MBID URL in its first steps)

with it, instead of being driven nuts when linking inexisting works, i can really shit back and relax

https://userscripts.org/tags/shitbackandrelax  ;)

i’m so funny

CLANG

reosarevok: You were right about those classical recordings being longer than otherwise identical recordings due to silence at their ends.

i'm trying to tag an album that has 2 discs in it. when i use MBP to tag, all songs get put in one folder.

i have no idea what i'm doing wrong.

i have tried with the classic disk numbers plugin checked and unchecked, but it still gives me everything in one folder

it's supposed to be like that joltman

i think?

but it used to be that it would create folders

joltman: there's some options that control this

it was changed but you can still make a rule in picard if you want extra folders i guess

so it'd be Artist/year - album (disc 1)/track - artist - title.ext

check whether you have 'move files' enabled, and make sure your file naming pattern has some / characters in it
