        hi

        does anyone know a good example for a series?

        Schisma, don't know if any good and only 2 or 3 series https://musicbrainz.org/user/jesus2099/subscripti…

        Any idea why there are suddenly duped "S Club 7" artist?

        Look in the history to get an idea.
      • 2014-07-01 18210, 2014

      • zag2
        both histories look identical to me
      • 2014-07-01 18202, 2014

      • zag2
        oh i see it redirects to the new MBID when clicking history
      • 2014-07-01 18246, 2014

      • Cuan
      • 2014-07-01 18258, 2014

      • Cuan
        Not really that sudden that they were merged.
      • 2014-07-01 18212, 2014

      • Cuan
        But the old MBID still points to the merged entry.
      • 2014-07-01 18226, 2014

      • zag2
        Cool thanks

      • jesus2099
        is there a way to remove milissa’s spam from MB chatlogs ?
      • 2014-07-01 18248, 2014

      • jesus2099
      • 2014-07-01 18233, 2014

      • zag2
        just for info that one merged artist breaks like 100,000 xbmc scrapes looking at the logs :)
      • 2014-07-01 18249, 2014

      • zag2
        So I will update with the new MBID to fix it
      • 2014-07-01 18203, 2014

      • zag2
        never knew so many people listened to S club 7 lol
      • 2014-07-01 18244, 2014

      • Cuan
        Well, that's probably XMBCs fault if it doesn't handle this correctly.
      • 2014-07-01 18259, 2014

      • Cuan
        Or whoever wrote the scraper
      • 2014-07-01 18222, 2014

      • zag2
        indeed (looks at himself)
      • 2014-07-01 18238, 2014

      • zag2
        our metadata sites also rely on static MBID's though
      • 2014-07-01 18245, 2014

      • zag2
        its quite a task if they change on our whole ecosystem
      • 2014-07-01 18235, 2014

      • zag2
        but as you say, can be fixed with some code changes
      • 2014-07-01 18238, 2014

      • Cuan
        Well, the old ones still work. So it's not a problem when you look things up.
      • 2014-07-01 18252, 2014

      • Cuan
        But if you try to use them as a static identifier, yeah.
      • 2014-07-01 18202, 2014

      • Cuan
        After an artist/release/etc. merge, it becomes a many-to-one thing.

        on audio tapes can I mark somehow which track is on which side?
      • 2014-07-01 18229, 2014

      • Cuan
        A1, A2, A3, B1 etc.
      • 2014-07-01 18222, 2014

      • Schisma______
        as "disc title"?
      • 2014-07-01 18242, 2014

      • Cuan
        Nah, as track numbers.
      • 2014-07-01 18203, 2014

      • Cuan
        Different sides of a cassette, vinyl record etc. are still the same medium.

      • Schisma______
        ah, track numbers
      • 2014-07-01 18202, 2014

      • Schisma______
        i thought track names
      • 2014-07-01 18208, 2014

      • Schisma______
        makes sense
      • 2014-07-01 18211, 2014

      • Cuan
        That kind of numbering scheme is especially common for vinyl.
      • 2014-07-01 18215, 2014

      • Cuan
        Yeah.

        is there a keyboard shortcut for the next song in the artist credit box ?
      • 2014-07-01 18212, 2014

      • hawke
        Nope.
      • 2014-07-01 18216, 2014

        hey jesus2099, do you still have  "MB. auto-focus + keyboard-select ver.2013.0617.2320."?
      • 2014-07-01 18201, 2014

      • hawke
        (Or whatever the current version is?)
      • 2014-07-01 18254, 2014

      • Cuan
        xram: Pressing Enter usually works for me.
      • 2014-07-01 18215, 2014

      • Cuan
        Unless I deleted an artist credit before, then the delete button has focus.
      • 2014-07-01 18233, 2014

      • Cuan
        So there's no consistent keyboard shortcut to speak of.
      • 2014-07-01 18258, 2014

      • Cuan
        Just what your browser does.
      • 2014-07-01 18231, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        Why wouldn't you just tab between fields. Tabbing four times seems faster than reaching for some goofy arrow key :-)
      • 2014-07-01 18202, 2014

      • CallerNo6 should try to put question marks at the end of his questions, just to see how it goes.
      • 2014-07-01 18206, 2014

      • hawke
        CallerNo6: because it’s five tabs to move down one field.
      • 2014-07-01 18253, 2014

      • hawke
        Wait
      • 2014-07-01 18255, 2014

      • hawke
        make that 9 tabs
      • 2014-07-01 18204, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        ?
      • 2014-07-01 18241, 2014

      • hawke
        artist credit, edit button, duration, guess case, delete track, move track up, move track down, track duration, track title
      • 2014-07-01 18258, 2014

      • hawke
        er — second 'duration' should be 'number'
      • 2014-07-01 18216, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        huh. my browser skips some of those
      • 2014-07-01 18208, 2014

      • hawke
        <rant>but OMG people on mac don’t know how to use home/end so we’ll make up/down move left/right instead!</rant>
      • 2014-07-01 18211, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        I get five. Faster (for me) than reaching away from the "home position" or whatever typists call it.

        don't spreadsheets and tabular things generally use up/down arrow?
      • 2014-07-01 18248, 2014

      • Cuan
        Spreadsheets always do the thing you don't want.

      • CallerNo6
        haha, true
      • 2014-07-01 18228, 2014

        Autocomplete/-format when you don't want it.
      • 2014-07-01 18234, 2014

      • Cuan
        etc.
      • 2014-07-01 18225, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        I always thought that spreadsheet editing was logical, and it was my fault for not being able to do it efficiently.
      • 2014-07-01 18234, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        Maybe someday I'll understand.
      • 2014-07-01 18221, 2014

      • Cuan
        Users aren't logical.
      • 2014-07-01 18255, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        (oh, it's five "tabs" for me because the release I was editing had ghosted track times. So six tabs. Maybe that's a bit much.)
      • 2014-07-01 18213, 2014

      • Cuan
        And then there's differences between different office suites, or just the personal customizations.
      • 2014-07-01 18233, 2014

      • Cuan
        Having to work with someone else's configuration can be a horror sometimes.
      • 2014-07-01 18244, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        The solution is obvious. vi-mode for all the things!
      • 2014-07-01 18245, 2014

      • CallerNo6
        huh. actually, I should try vimperator with the release editor.
      • 2014-07-01 18223, 2014

      • hawke
        To me the solution is obvious: ignore the Mac insanity and do the obviously-correct thing. ;-)

      • 2014-07-01 18214, 2014

        where chrome on mac scrolls a web page once you get to the top of a text box
      • 2014-07-01 18226, 2014

      • derwin
        15 years of using web browsers and that never worked like that
      • 2014-07-01 18249, 2014

      • hawke
        (oh, and one problem with 'enter' is that it only goes down, not up)
      • 2014-07-01 18210, 2014

      • derwin
        oh, and don't get me started on soundcloud taking over "spacebar" to no longer mean "page down"
      • 2014-07-01 18243, 2014

      • CallerNo6 remembers why he doesn't use vimperator
      • 2014-07-01 18213, 2014

      • hawke
        derwin: I like that. better than having to hope there’s somewhere you can tab to that lets you scroll
      • 2014-07-01 18237, 2014

      • derwin
        hawke: what I end up doing is hitting "fn-down"
      • 2014-07-01 18243, 2014

      • derwin
        hawke: ... because my mac has no page down
      • 2014-07-01 18238, 2014

      • hawke
        (or being unable to tab if the textarea allows entry of tab chars)
