so how long takes it for real to update track times when a Disc ID is added? :p

they're not automatically updated

so what needs to be done? :p

set the times from the disc id

by going to the disc ids tab, then clicking on the disc id you use want to use

and possibly also vote for http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-6113 :P

nice picture. partly english, partly german :P

yeah, I'm not switching to english just so that the bits that haven't changed will be shown in english :P

at least your main language isn't japanese :>

(especially when I probably won't even realise until it's too late that I haven't switched languages)

there's a typo in the german on the page

"großgebschriebenen" :)

(and it probably wouldn't even matter if it were japanese, anyone likely to implement it will know what the release editor normally looks like without having to be able to read the text)

hm so there is...

i think web browsers are about the worst programs now, regarding resources

it's mostly just firefox for me. old opera and chromium don't kill my computer

stop using FF.

yeah, so helpful

you can use opera or chromium, no?

no

somebody is forcing you, o no :<

yeah, google. they suck

you cannot say that

just did

they are one of MBz sponsors

so?

how is it, working for a project that is sponsored by EVIL?

meh, whatever, you're annoying me

the right reply should have been: FUN. oh well :)

Hi!

hello

what brings you to #musicbrainz, pbryan?

Mostly my interest in music. How about you?

music, databases and archives. :-)

I've been working on indexing contra dance videos into MusicBrainz, lately.

Wow.

there's a LOT of really good videos out there (and they are legal enough to include in MB, unlike much of the music on YouTube)

There's always something in MB that needs love.

lots of things, yep

You aren't *this* pbryan, are you? https://musicbrainz.org/artist/61fee886-6c4a-41...

Nope.

heh

I do have his album though.

nice

hallo Freso are you here?

I screwed up and deleted a YouTube video that has a musicbrainz entry. the one at https://musicbrainz.org/recording/f037b5e4-7c8d...

there was another song I hope to do that with but didn't. this was an accident though.

another recording exists more canonical and on a bicycle to boot which is how the song was written in the first place

again, sorry about the screwup take care bye

CatQuest: jesus2099 has a userscript that will display names for the more well-known deleted editors.

chirlu`: duude I know that,

:)

ugh his weather

this*

jesus2099: POWER_RELATE_TO is a bit outdated, isn’t it? Also that you can still switch to test.mb.org. :)

is it correct that this american/latin/english title is written i katakana http://musicbrainz.org/release/f2aeb61e-5886-46... ?

depends on what you mean by "correct"

if you're asking whether you should edit that release, then no

i.e., you shouldn't edit it, it is fine as it is

see http://musicbrainz.org/release/f2aeb61e-5886-46...

ugh. 4 out of 7 websites in my browser windows' tabs have basically identical layout (white with black topbar)

Hi everyone, does someone knows if the country of a digital media release (amazon, spotify, itunes, ..) is [worldwide] or not

Or should there be several release events: amazon.com -> USA, amazon.fr -> France, but how to handle iTunes and Bandcamp?

When is a release event Worldwide?

And also i want to ask if it is possible / allowed to add a Spotify links (stream for free) to a CD (hard copy) release? I had a discussion a while ago and i am not sure what to do ..

I usually put [worldwide] for digital media releases that can be purchased for download from anywhere in the world

there are some digital releases which are actually not possible to get from anywhere in the world -- a lot of japanese websites block foreign IP addresses, for example, lol

hibiscuskazeneko: cool casiopea song you linked the other day :)

thanks

I'm considering buying some of their stuff if I can find it

COME ON CAA, LOAD MAH COVER ART :<

it does take a while

latsni: for iTunes I usually put the country of that iTunes store (it's in the URL), because I know that one exists and I don't want to spend time checking if its available in other country stores.

latsni: no, I don't think spotify links should be added to a CD -- they're different releases IMO.

kuno: okay thx, but it is okay to add them to digital releases or are they different, too?

I'd probably add them to digital releases (as long as the tracklist and content are the same)

latsni: that should be OK -- I personally don't think digital releases should be treated like that, but the consensus in MB seems to be that if a digital release has the same tracklist, it's the same release

(even if they might sound slightly different because amazon, itunes and spotify all use their own lossy MP3/M4A encoding)

right

The only exception would be if the distribution changed hands (as was the case with a certain 2NE1 single)

kuno: thx :)

latsni: Bandcamp releases should be [worldwide], btw. IIRC, they don't employ any per-country restrictions.

but maybe countries do?:)

Sure, but if something is released everywhere but North Korea, I would probably still go for [worldwide].

flamingspinach: what is the definition of script then? because the booklet is definitely printed in latin. here is photo of it http://imgur.com/CPGwKz1

The "script" of a release is the writing system predominantly used on the release

In that case I'd set it to Latin

(I assume Juliana Hatfield isn't Japanese)

If you're talking about http://musicbrainz.org/release/f2aeb61e-5886-46... I'd set it as a pseudo-release

According to https://musicbrainz.org/edit/21669337, it is a real release, though.

I only see latin backcover tracklists on yahoo auctions

(I guess those could be imports)

It's a Japanese edition of a release by an American artist

The reason people think they're in katakana is because shopping sites often transliterate the tracks and titles to make them easier to read

yes exactly and as you can see on both my photo and discogs the main script in the track listing is latin

aha, interesting

I just added the non-transliterated version: http://musicbrainz.org/release/dd42a09f-db79-47...

hibiscuskazenek1: yes, but whether the katakana tracklisting is a pseudo-release or not depends on whether that japanese edition has a katakana tracklist on the backcover or a latin tracklisting on the backcover.

I have almost never seen transliterations on the back covers of foreign artists' releases

I've seen it a few times, I don't add that much japanese stuff so I'll take your word for it if you say it's super-rare. it does happen though :)

I've only seen it with Japanese domestic artists who have worked overseas (e.g. Minako Honda)

as i said above, i have the release and here is a photo of the track list http://imgur.com/CPGwKz1

english/latin

We believe you

(or at least I do

If you like you can upload scans of it to the CAA

hopphopp: thanks! having a backcover image is always appreciated, because those are often difficult to find when discussing these things.

what is CAA?
