and the tautness of the kettle drum?

Now you're just making words up

:-D

the one thing mp3 really lacks is "warmth" :trollface:

Well you surely can't burn an mp3

Wait...

You surely should burn them ha

And I agree with everything that everybody says, simply because it does peoples heads in when you do.....

:)

Major_Lurker: mp3 is officially dead

Won't get any argument from me. :)

well, not dead, but all patents are expired ;)

Major_Lurker: there is Max https://github.com/sbooth/Max but it's old and outdated. it works with releases with 1 disc, but anything more discs and it's really messed

:/

(wich is a shame becaue it's a rather nice program)

what OS does Major_Lurker use, anyway? :D

maybe this list is of help: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_En...

oh that's probably a good list for Major_Lurker yes

yea I realised that perhaps he does not use Mac os :D

i recommended EAC, but he wanted to use some linux stuff :)

morituri?

and for osx I use XLD nowadays

whipper is the fork of morituri, so likely the same XD

oh

i stay with my sucky windows :D

what does whipper change?

dunno. morituri development hasn't been active so it has been forked to whipper

so probably bug fixes and enhancements ^^

Hello Musicbrainz team. Is there a way to tell Picard to retry server requests when they fail?

Not yet, https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-807

PICARD-807: Retry release fetch on MB server overload

reosarevok, thank you

actually just before you said that I found the "refresh" button

which does work

I really love this software. It's totally awesome.

picard and beets are pretty much magic, alright :)

too bad, MB is such a nice community :)

I have another question. How can I make an album that's not registered in the musicbrainz database?

cyberspectre: the easiest way is to use an importer in your browser, and import it from a site that does have it

the even more easy way is to tell someone to add it to MB :D

So the guy who makes this album is an independent who just sells it on his website. I don't know if it's part of any existing repository

I see a 'submit' button. Can I create the album in the MusicBrainz database myself?

you can manually create, but the case you are in is in an atypical one

which is why I mention using a userscript. it's almost always in at least one other database

darwin, I see

Oh it looks like it is on Bandcamp.

I'm now a member of MB and I'm trying to import the album from Bandcamp but it says "you must enter a title and an artist for every track" even though those are filled in

the track artists need to be green

cyberspectre, to expand on what SothoTalKer said: some fields (like "artist") are search fields, used to locate an existing artist in the database (as opposed to being free-text fields that you simply fill in). When you've chosen an artist, the field will turn green.

(same for label, release group)

If the correct artist(s), label(s) and/or release-group aren't already in MB, you'll have to add them.

(well, sorta. you can add a release without a label if you want. you can't, however, add a release without an artist and release-group)

does cdbaby.com work for you? =X

i guess it's routing problems :D

CatQuest, SothoTalKer thanks for the above, I had found that link. I had forgotten I used Morituri before (old age and probably the last time the schema broke freeDB propagating)

heh

good morning :p

Using Whipper now... it's a fair bit slower than MediaMonkey....

hi!

and it seems to have a few bugs ... but hey at least I can get the pile of discs off my desk slowly

well, slower but more accurate

I use Windose mainly, but mucking around with linux helps keep the old grey matter ticking over

EAC

And I can't figure out how to get Whipper to rip to a network drive so I am having to copy and paste etc....

I am going to have a look at EAC as well

it's windows and not command line :p

Command line is a bit of fun though ;)

Especially when you get one letter wrong hahaha

=D

i just do a 2 step process

1 - rip

2 - tag

It grabs stuff from MB?

(just downloaded it and installing now)

Looks like I will have the same problem with EAC as MediaMonkey

uses freeDB
