Is there any particular policy about trusting the tracklist on the case vs the tracklist on the medium?

RavenWorks, no particular policy that I'm aware of. I tend to favor the case, as it's my experience that the medium tends to be abbreviated or incomplete more often, but it depends a bit on the differences you're seeing.

Hi, I'm trying to understand why was https://musicbrainz.org/edit/61656955 done. Can anyone tell me why? I don't get why it's a duplicate or what it is a duplicate of.

Heh. I'm not sure either

That work is crap - it should either get Tomita as the arranger or be merged with a catch-all work - but this doesn't seem like an improvement

I agree

The app I'm doing detected that a work uuid my file had in a tag didn't exist in musicbrainz, and retagging the file didn't help, since picard doesn't remove existing tags that were removed in musicbrainz... but I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bug since indeed existing tags shouldn't be removed if the "Clear existing tags" options is not checked. Otoh we're talking about uuids, so maybe those tags should be an exception?

outsidecontext, zas ^

antlarr: If you want to to do this you can use scripting to clear the empty tag

what do you mean? There's a script to do that?

antlarr: use a script like $if($not(%musicbrainz_workid%),$delete(musicbrainz_workid))

hmmm, but musicbrainz_workid would be read from the file and so, have a value, isn't it?

antlarr: no, the scripts operate on data loaded from musicbrainz and modify it. that's exactly what this does: if the work id is not provided, mark it for deletion

ah, nice thanks

I mostly use the file naming scripting (I have a really LONG script there), and that operates at a different level I guess

antlarr: yes, that generates the file name before saving, this is using the (updated) file tags

outsidecontext: that worked perfectly, thanks

CatQuest: "total" → "binary", because "total" is (also) "the number two".

no it isnt

Ok.

I mean. "totall or to-tall I *guess* could be two number which is occasionally used. but it's not super common

I mean, it’s a rare case where you have to specifically talk about the symbol "2", which is what that refers to.

Usually you talk about the value, there being two of something.

yea. and the idea that totall(totallig) is analoguous to "binary" is.. a streach at best

in the ong, it's definitly "total" as in totally

song*

https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin%C3%A6rt_talls... says that the binary system is also called "totallsystemet".

huh.
