SothoTalKer: a sibling label is just a different word for a sublabel, isn't it? I mean, unless they literally create a second company, it's just an imprint of the first label

reosarevok: it isnt. unless you consider parents to be siblings aswell. ;)
sometimes/often companies use different sub-labels for different genres of music, those sibling-labels are currently only connected by their parent-label
well, labels have always been the poor cousin of musicbrainz, so meh (:
dseomn
catalog numbers can be emoji, right?
context: I'm working on my next "hit" single, Electric Vuvuzela Baghorn, and I'm thinking of "πππΊπ" for the catalog number

Getting ready to release my new album, ""
dseomn
elomatreb[m]: really? I've thought about doing something like that, but I haven't bothered yet
elomatreb[m]
No, just joking, sorry :)
dseomn
that's too bad, I was looking forward to hearing it
CatQuest
dseomn: AWESOME
also afaik catalogue numbers are freetext so yes emoji?
barcode has to be a numeral value thoguh, but like, it's a barcode :D
anyway for a non-excisiting space named release, there might be some esoteric unicode that lets yo udo that withouth stripping it away
but, alas "" will probably just be considered "[untitled]" :/
unless "" <-- is the exact title (ie double qutationmarks)
CatQuest operates the "sillyname" tag, believe me, I've seen it aaall
dseomn
my favorite unicode code point for messing with field validation is MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR
CatQuest
.3.
dseomn
it looks like a zero-width space (i.e., nothing), but it doesn't register as whitespace, so it's not usually trimmed
CatQuest
awesomesauce
I like VARIATION SELECTOR-15
it is intended to turn those icky colourful images int oproper font emoji (black and white)
dseomn
ooh, I haven't used that, but I like the goal
CatQuest
:D
if you do use πππΊπ as a catalogue number, please use it!
SothoTalKer
please don't
CatQuest
SothoTalKer: sush
dseomn
I'd rather have color emoji for this specific release
CatQuest
aw
well i see it as black and white anyway :D
whne is it getting released?
dseomn
if I ever make a sequel to "Sweet Suites, Volume 1", I hope it has a Unicode Suite, which I can do all sorts of stuff with ;)
CatQuest is itching ot test this cat#
elomatreb[m]
Someone should make a release with titles consisting exclusively of empty strings, NULL bytes, PUA codepoints, etc
CatQuest
literally iching?
dseomn
videos are good to go, I'm doing (hopefully) final audio review now. still waiting to hear back from one person about the dedication, and still need to do cover design
CatQuest
if you want a suggestion for covers. Fish is always good
CatQuest lieks fish
elomatreb[m]

fish!

fish
that's sushi
elomatreb[m]
(A story in three emoji)
dseomn
CatQuest: I took photos of the horrendous instrument, so those will probably be the main feature of the cover. it's just a matter of picking which photos and laying them out and stuff
CatQuest
made with fish, but also other things
dseomn: neat
dseomn
elomatreb[m]: I fully intend to include mojibake if I ever write and release Unicode Suite
CatQuest
emoji-bake?
:DDDD
elomatreb[m]
nice
Looking forward to ID3v2.3 tags with non-UTF-8 encoding finally going away
SothoTalKer
there was a time when catalog "numbers" where meant to exist, so releases can be easily found and sorted, not to display some strange artistic freedom
CatQuest
SothoTalKer: sush
dseomn
it's a database field⦠I play with those

You're doing good work, dseomn!

elomatreb[m]
If catalog numbers were enough for releases to be easily found and sorted, MBIDs would be superflous
CatQuest genuinely thinks that btw
CatQuest
elomatreb[m]: exactly!
dseomn
I mean, at least my catalog numbers are unique, so far. combined with my label MBID (but not name), they're reasonable-ish for finding and sorting my releases
SothoTalKer
in a way, they are. just another identifier like barcode or discogs id :p
CatQuest
that's actually a good point
elomatreb[m]
Plenty of the big labels just use numeric sequences for their catalog numbers, so they easily collide given enough time
SothoTalKer
you probably had to be more creative with the label name then. just add some emojis to it, maybe?
dseomn
SothoTalKer: my label name is [no label]
SothoTalKer
the "numeric sequences" are actually part of the barcode ^^
dseomn
catalog numbers are many decades older than barcodes though, right?
CatQuest
these days, yes often. esp things liek universal. the cat# is a section (r the whole) ean/barcode thinger
but back in the day, this was not true
SothoTalKer
it really depends on the label, yes
elomatreb[m]
Yeah, and even EANs/UPCs will collide simply as a result of not being long enough numbers
CatQuest
and recency
like 20 year old releases can have a barcode and catalogue# hat is totally not the same or even a section of
SothoTalKer
actually, in theory, there should be no collisions at all
