zentropy: you can use the discogs importer instead?

hi2all. Plz, remind me - is ok to "purge" from track title things like bonus track etc.?

hibiscuskazeneko: Yes I did notice JASRAC works DB site was shut down...

It's strange because https://www.jasrac.or.jp/ still links to https://www.jasrac.or.jp/ but then nothing any more, there.

And the text in that page is the usual text, it does not say it's over.

I have to use https://www.music-rights.jp/ which is very limited in amount of works and today it seems down too

I still use https://www.minc.gr.jp/db/ more release oriented but still useful, and contains NexTone IDs as well.

I dragged an album image from Chrome for Windows up to the taskbar to Musicbrainz and now the image is stuck on the taskbar. How do I unstick the image from taskbar?

erh what

I dragged an image from Chrome to the Musicbrainz tab in the taskbar and dropped it in the album lower right panel but now a transparent afterimage of that album is hanging over the taskbar

there's some windows process that can be restarted to reset it but I don't remember which one

I tried explorer.exe restart but image remains

it's whatever windows process controls the taskbar I guess

or maybe the graphics

Is it the window manager that you need to restart?

As administrator, run "net stop UxSms" then "net start UxSms". I use that here on my Windows 7 machine.

"service name is invalid"

Windows 7 is far past EOL :P

I can't find the magic google keywords

maybe there isn't a desktop window manager in win10

I don't see it in services

access denied if I try to restart dwm.exe

Even with admin access?

wtf s "EOL"

end of life

...

it's kind of like this https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/20...

win 7 is awesome though. goddamnit bleeding-edge kids

but instead of icon stuck there it's an album cover

right.. seems liek it's fixed a shortcut to the image there

Yeah, because wanting bugfixes and security updates is "bleeding edge"?

:P

I'll google a missing album artwork and then drag it to the musicbrainz app tab and change focus to mb and then continue the drag to the album area in mb

and sometimes the artwork gets stuck up there

try looking at the taskbar settings. there shoudl be a way to "unset" the shortcut or remove it

zentropy: honestly you should probably use picard inbuilt coverart thing...

last time i checked win7 still got those (ofc if that's stopped i cant hlep it, but i shure as hell am not going ot update to windows 8 or 10 becasue 8 is shit and 10 is.. wtf ever)

if I drag the task bar to the right, the album transparency remains in place

...

ZaphodBeeblebrox: It doesn't, and lol

so it is independent of the taskbar position

right that's just windows' visiual bug. a restart of windows shoudl solve that

squigz: srsly f off

this is the second time this has happened this week and I just want to remember the quicker fix so I don't have to restart again

zentropy: honestly my advice to you is to change your workflow. this is an inherent bug in windows which I've seen since idk win 95, it's not going away.

dragging images/icons like this has a chnace of "sticking" it like that

esp if system is occupied with other tasks/havent restarted in a while

i've seen this evne on intel mac, occasinally, o it's an intel thing..

:(

up time is 1:01:02:44

uptime 0:00:15:22

so other than dragging this album cover into musicbrainz via taskbar, how should I being doing it? https://www.discogs.com/The-City-Of-Prague-Phil...

If you position both windows such that you can see the drop zone, you shoulod be able to drag'n'drop directly from one window to the other without having to go through the task bar. (Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're doing.)

I have both windows on fullscreen

each looks better in fullscreen

does ctrl-v work for pasting images in paste buffer in mb album artwork box?

work?

zentropy: did you see me suggest using the discogs improter, way above?

in general if your release is in discogs, you can speed up importing a lot by using their release as a base

oh that's what you meant

discogs import won't import cover art through the plugin, just text

unless I'm using it wrong or there's some default setting that needs to be tweaked in order to bring across text *and* cover art from discogs to mb

hence my workaround to drag and drop from browser to mb app

and the image getting stuck on the screen border

you should upload coverart *to* mb (CAA)

here mb is "MusicBrainz"

not "Picard"

Picard is the tagging program

MusicBrainz is the website/database

sure, cover art is not ... covered

chaban: I'm laughing so hard https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/68729595

CatQuest: ROFL 🤣

lol

he should be glag we're not deleting his other "companies" too

CatQuest - Well in the windows taskbar the program appears as "Mu..."
