alright, that's enough cleaning up scans for today. https://musicbrainz.org/release/f2834d6a-9a99-4...

project names are hard.

Oh boy; I just found another release isrcsubmit for PC can't read

What was the workaround for finding ISRCs on discs?

Or was that just for submitting them?

Opinions? http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8995

I thought it was kinda dead, but I don't have any problems with it being on the sidebar if someone can be bothered to add the code :)

Hi! Are you aware that the wiki server responds to HTTP but not to HTTPS? (Just letting you know)

I will

Has anyone else seen this yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_em...

"old guy says new thing will destroy everything"

That interview was a shot heard 'round the world

Yurim: Yes, that’s well known. See https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metab... ff.

Don't know if want… http://ultimateclassicrock.com/meat-loaf-braver...

chirlu: Thanks. I already submitted a bug report.

Yeah. I think it’s a bit overenthusiastic.

Dozens of things are still broken after the recent outages. It would make sense to report anything _remaining_ after it’s thought that everything got fixed (perhaps next week or so).

That bad? Oh dear

Well, we had six tickets yesterday informing us that docs were broken. :)

I expect someone will report the missing logo on JIRA, too. (It’s a HTTPS wiki link.)

re sleepy server icon : I think we should go with the http://bookbrainz.mbsandbox.org/sleepycat.png (wich ironically goes 502 for me and sows the ? brainz logo)

The old forums are down, etc.

reosarevok: There are nine CPDL links in MB, in total. I’m not sure if it is worth the trouble to put those into the sidebar.

I mean, there would be more if people knew we could link it

But I just think we should at least have a default "score" link there

It's a bit weird that IMSLP shows up but other scores don't

but it is surprising an somewhat heartening that so many people are complaining about missing docs.. like yo usaid reo

Yurim: the wiki got moved to a new server yesterday, and the SSL certs are going to be installed shortly

and by "moved", I mean the old one crashed so it was quickly and hastily restored from a backup >.>

legoktm: I'm fine. I just wanted to make sure that this issue is known.

thanks, it definitely is :)

Can anybody explain the difference between a mixer and a DJ-mixer? Does the latter only do the transitions?

and a third term: remixer

remixer is for a remix recording

mixer is the audio engineer that handles the mix (balancing the various channels)

DJ-mixer is generally release-wide and is the person who mixed separate recordings to form a whole (so yes, the transitions)

So a DJ-mixer wouldn't be credited on the recording?

(there should be an explanation for each relationship that is shown when you click the "(help)" in the popup; not sure if that sufficiently covers these cases though)

they would, but you'd generally find that credit on either all tracks for a disc, or at least for multiple adjacent tracks

they'd be on the recording because the DJ-mix means it shouldn't be merged with the "normal" form of the recording

The MB relationship only exists for whole mediums.

ok then, that makes sense too

it'll be a rare case where one release includes multiple separate DJ mixes

Thanks, I can work with that

the recordings will generally need to have a disambiguation to mark them as part of a DJ mix, to avoid them being merged with a regular recording by accident

I stand corrected, the DJ-mixer relationship is now also available for recordings.

New question: When should I use the artist-medium and when the artist-recording relationship for DJ-mixer?

Hello

How can one delete a release group? Somebody added a Kaiser Chiefs release (http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/961ef5f5-5...) that doesn't exsist and they didn't provide any proof

That'S why I think the release and release group should be deleted, but I can't find any edit option to do that

the release group will be deleted automatically once it is empty

the release has a delete link on the right side

Oh, there it is!

Thanks Yurim

but before you do that, ask for a source. perhaps it is legit after all

Well, it was added before the purported release date and the offical band website has announced an album of a different name with a different release date since

How would I go about asking for a source, since the original add release edit was applied automatially?

(I already did.) You can go to the "edits" page, click "add note" on that edit and "Submit edit notes and votes".
