damn

beatport api just shut down except for "approved partners"

could someone officially affiliated with MBz request access?

I'll maintain the parser :P

Beatport's tech lead has reached out to MBz before.

by tech lead I mean CTO or IT lead or something

looks like I might just be able to read data-* values from html tags

maybe

502 o clock?

kepstin-laptop: 0.8 was reserved for a wxwidgets version if the qt port failed :)

and wxwidgets was replaced simply because it was too buggy to be usable

Harzilein: ^

Hey

Would you think an Instagram page can be considered as a microblog ?

deep question ..

Just add it as social network

I think we should just merge microblog into social network anyway - nobody uses the word "microblog" anymore :p

reosarevok: they did!

reosarevok: during the recent chinese earthquake, the same news anchors who during the olympic games had to stress that they don't have twitter in china, and who _always_ used "twitter" in the context of the arab spring, were suddenly forced to say that people called for help through _microblogging_.

hahaha

Anyone here?

there are 108 people here

asking that question likely didn't resolve your real question though

ah bugger ;)

It's about the lastfm plus plugin

I want Genre to be tagged with the most popular tag per track from last.fm. I've almost got it, but it's picking some stupid ones

xteejx: add these stupid ones to your blacklist. Stupid ones are the most popular.

blacklist -> ignore list

I'll redefine "stupid" : Ones that *would* be correct but not for that track. Example: Madness - Lovestruck - Rock .... I'd have put it as ska, and looking at last.fm that tag is indeed there, but the rock one isn't?

Settings: Minor Tags : 1 // Genres: ambient, ballad, blues, chillout, christian, christmas, club, comedy, country, dance, disco, doo wop, drum and bass, dubstep, easy listening, electro, emo, folk, funk, garage, grime, happy hardcore, hip hop, house, indie, jazz, jungle, kids, latin, lounge, metal, motown, new age, party, pop, punk, r&b, rap, rave, reggae, rock, salsa, samba, ska, soul, swing, techno, trance

Major is set to 0, but it'as the only way it seems to put it in the Genre tag

hm, no clue. I normally use the "non-plus" last.fm plugin

hm, it's really bugging me. I'd have thought with just 1 tag it'd take the most popular one by count

a wild guess, Is it maybe only taking genres that are specified in the mp3 list?

but Ska should be in there

ska is there though...?

oh weird...if I copy the same tag list to Major and set major AND minor to 1, it comes up with Grouping and Genre to ska

meh, I think I've sorted it out, thanks JonnyJD :)

best go and carry on tagging 32000 tracks ;)

Tried this edit, is it welcomed or not ? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/23953029

there is a risk some tracks might not be the same, but otherwise it will never be cleaned

what's the guideline if there is a doubt?

Hadora: why do you guess there are all the same, even if there are even some times missing?

time missing are from mix, I thought it was now eligible for merging ?

once again this is a tentative edit

i'm ready to cancel it :)

well, I also don't have a reason to think this wasn't released in the same version that many times.

I'll just not vote. Don't have much experience with chart music anyways (my music never has that many tracks per recording)

that risk is driven by the fact that these dupes drive me crazy

thanks for your opinion!

they are already attached to the same work, I guess?

That would be more important

(which of course happens automatically when the recordings get merged)

hmm i haven't check that

yuck, sorry, http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/09/...

Hadora, JonnyJD: that would probably more easy to merge if the recordings were properly tagged =X

and/or had AcoustID / ISRC codes assigned

one reason i only submit discs i own ;)

Apparently.

Anyone have a question they need answering? I'm on a roll right now.

Freso: There's always “To be or not to be?”

I don't get that kind of "or" questions.

If Hamlet asked me that, I'd answer: "Yes".

Nice. When Hamlet evolves into a Rocky Horror kind of audience-participation thing, we should all shout "yes".

(and with that, Freso breathed new life into the renn faire scene)

:D

Freso, help me write BB! :-P

Hello out there, we're on the air, it's Hockey Night tonight.

Leftmost: I wish I had the time.

Leftmost: But then, if I did, I would probably take up MBo again. :p

Everything else is unimportant.

Leftmost: I'm not sure I agree.

Well why the heck not?

Leftmost: I'm apparently about to embark on a mission to get Danish b-boy culture documented.

Freso: that does sound fun and interesting.

Freso: so we need BBBrainz?

how do you poplock with those wooden shoes?

(sorry couldn't resist)

drsaunde: So much fail in that sentence... :|

reosarevok: Or just DanceBrainz

warp: Indeed. :)

drsaunde: There's no such thing as "poplock". "Popping" is one style, "locking" is another.

drsaunde: And the Danes aren't known for using wooden shoes last I checked - that's the Dutch.

And I can confirm that warp indeed was wearing wooden shoes at the summit.

;)

i always thought poplock based on one the originals: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/97544922-e54f...

Yeah.... no.
