Fix in what sense? Opera I tend to not fuss about...

it's not an opera :p

split the second medium in its proper own release :p

If it does not belong there? I would just make a new release / copy the wrong medium over to that (add disc - existing disc). Then delete the second medium from the one you pointed me to.

As long as you are positive that it is 2 separate releases

pretty much

more like 101% :D

but now nap time

I looked at the history, it is a bit buggered ....

I use MediaMonkey to rip CD's. The problem with that (well not really a problem most of the time), is that it uses freeDB data to populate.

With every new schema the freeDB thingy (whatever the technical term is) breaks.

So I enter data to MB but MediaMonkey cannot see it.

With the absence of Chirlu (who usually fixes it), I don't know how long I will have to wait.

So.... does anybody know of a great ripper that takes the data direct from MB (is that even possible?)

Cheers....

The stack on my desk is getting ever higher

https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/FREEDB-19... (I re-opened it, shoould I have mad a new one?)

FREEDB-19: Data not being transferred to freeDB

anyone here run their own musicbrainz mirror?

Did, don't anymore, just ask

Lartza: I just setup a music-brainz mirror server, which is awesome btw

Eh, debatable :P

You either spend a long time setting it up, use stupid docker or use even stupider docker inside a VM, and it doesn't even let you configure sensible stuff like HTTPS easily and doesn't work at all

So yeah

what does the search-server (java) give you over and above the musicbrainz-server?

But each to their own :P

Uhh it gives you search?

But, the mirror uses a search server already you don't need your own

Lartza: search seems to work without it...

It uses the public engine of musicbrainz.org

Lartza: so request goes from client app -> musicbrainz mirror -> musicbrainz.org search server?

Not sure

Probably

searches go to MB's servers, yes (unless/until you install a local search server). lookups and browse requests use your local install.

CallerNo6: thanks, makes sense.

so I built and deployed the search-server and am now building indexes. but how do I configure the musicbrainz mirror to use the local tomcat servlet?

That I don't know. Try asking in #metabrainz, where you're more likely to get the attention of one of the devs (although with time zones you may need to wait a bit for a reply)

CallerNo6: got it, thanks.

Any time. Good luck with your project :-)

CallerNo6: thanks! should have read the doc properly, eyes skipped over "rate limiting"

Major_Lurker: EAC?

SothoTalKer, yeah looked at it, actually found Whipper now so I am trying to get my head around my limited linux knowledge now

i wonder why flac downloads are more expensive than mp3 :D

SothoTalKer: They're probably more expensive because they're much larger files.

At least that's the most logical reason.

about twice the size compared to that mp3 :D

because oh-so-expensive bandwidth

or more likely because hi-fi people are more likely to accept higher prices in exchange for better quality

(see: all that hi-fi equipment out there)

The difference in quality is definitely noticable

sometimes, yes

and then there's the issue of generational loss

which makes it even more noticeable

If I listen to mp3 on my stereo, and then the flac I can hear the difference.... more musical information

Don't matter on the things you stick in your ear

quite a bias :)

you should do tests, everything else is inaccurate :D

ABX testing or bust

anyone making unsupported statements is.. making unsupported statements. I can hear artifacts in 128k mp3 sometimes, but high bitrate mp3, never heard anything I thought was identifiably a mp3 artifact.

... but how about the airiness of the bassoon?
