Anyone feel like dropping a single Yes on https://musicbrainz.org/edit/65326012 ?

Drop that yes!

Done, enjoy your 40 min wait :p

I thought, auto-editors can do it by themselves...

I mean, 40 minutes is a lot less than 3 days. :)

xplt: Not destructive edits.

(Which merges are.)

Then... Is there any point in gaining auto-editor flag nowadays?

kepstin: Back when I was toying around with Linux on floppy disks (before I switched), there was one "security" focused one I tried which had a small program that allowed you to play music by converting the audio to images on your monitor which you could then pick up on a standard FM receiving radio and listen to.

It was interesting.

(And also a reminder that just because someone can’t physically see the light from your monitor doesn’t mean they can’t "see" your monitor.)

xplt: I mean, we’ve been working on making the autoeditor flag less significant for quite some time.

There are still some things that autoeditors can push through faster than others though.

(Luckily, modern monitor emit far less radiation/radio waves than old CRT ones, so the range for "listening in" is much reduced these days.)

Yeah :)

xplt: there's still a fair amount of things that can be done faster (such as fixing issues in releases added by others)

Ah, I see

Or, for classical, changing all the recording credits

A lot of that should probably be made available to others without vote, but not before we have some sort of "UNDO THIS!" button

Fair too :)

Releases added with no external links and the edit note consisting only of "added" :(

Well, it's added! :D

(if it's recent, do leave a note asking for details)

More than a year ago, by a now-inactive editor. But I managed to find a source

for MB it would be as on cover but for my own music library, how would you spell "Smif N Wessun" ?

Smif-n-Wessun, Smif N Wessun, Smif ’n’ Wessun ?

the last one makes more sense to me

well since it's *your* library I'd go with what *you'd* find the most sensical

but I want your opinion !

:)

I just don't want 3-4 artists variations in my library because their name is spelled inconsistently across albums

insert rant about music players still not supporting MBID tags

it would be nice wouldn't it ?

:)

I'm surprised my car support flac

I've been working on an MPD client for a while now that supports at least some basic MBID functionality (primarily disambiguating artists, but also stuff like proper multiple artists per track)

I first started out writing a full music player from scratch but that was way too much trouble

"accidentally"

<reosarevok> ...but not before we have some sort of "UNDO THIS!" button. Something like the way things are handled using Git would be neat. I have no idea how it could be implemented. Somehow I don't think it would be scalable to accommodate all the MB data.

The database would need to maintain a "diff" for each edit, in order to allow any sort of undo or rollback.

SothoTalKer: yea, actually, sometimes I make mistakes fancy that! >:|

...why do you gotta be like that :(

For everything but destructive edits (i.e. merges and deletes) a "Generate undo edit" button shouldn't need any more information than what we already have in the edit history view

CatQuest: don't take it personally, please. i personally value what you do :)

uh huh.

SothoTalKer: I never know whne you're serious and when you're bullshitting

ye, its hard to tell. sometimes i don't even know it myself o,o

I don't see the green send to picard button on release pages, is it hidden?

you need to connect to port 8000 i think?

restarted picard

should I restart the browser?

you just need to add ?tport=8000 to the url

that worked

never had to do that before

if you open a link from within picard it should add it automatically

after adding ?tport=8000 to one tab, the green button appeared on both tabs, including the tab without ?tport=8000

it likely sets a cookie, i forgot how it works ^^

fascinating
