        That's a tough one, he just released an album as "Yusuf / Cat Stevens". Everyone knows it is the same person.

        Jeeze, people constantly trying to merge the two
      • 2020-10-04 27811, 2020

      • darwin
        I consider them two different projects, hence not appropriate to merge.
      • 2020-10-04 27801, 2020

      • cheezmo2_
        So how should his current release be credited. As two separate artists. Feels wierd.
      • 2020-10-04 27852, 2020

      • darwin
        Probably?
      • 2020-10-04 27815, 2020

      • darwin
        It's a unique case where he created the Yusuf alias to represent a break, and then over time basically merged stylistically back.

        I'm obviously not well versed on the history of previous attempts to merge, etc. but when I got this latest release and went to enter/edit it I had know idea what to do.
      • 2020-10-04 27837, 2020

      • darwin
        that one is weird, because it's an album released as Cat Stevens, now being marketed under both names. That might be an artist alias for me.
      • 2020-10-04 27822, 2020

      • cheezmo2_
        I tried to describe the situation to my wife and she said I think you need a 3rd artist for his new "identity/project".
      • 2020-10-04 27833, 2020

      • cheezmo2_
        It is actually a totally new album of new recordings. So only released under Yusuf / Cat Stevens.
      • 2020-10-04 27842, 2020

      • darwin
        in my opinion, his new identity is his two projects working together, but I can also see her view.
      • 2020-10-04 27857, 2020

      • darwin
        new recordings of old songs, for copyright $ probably?
      • 2020-10-04 27802, 2020

      • darwin
        weird af.
      • 2020-10-04 27813, 2020

      • darwin
        one of the weirder releases in mb now, actually. most edge-case-y
      • 2020-10-04 27838, 2020

      • cheezmo2_
        They have a totally new feel so I don't think it is copyright. Simply revisiting/interpreting as Sting has done.

        there's also Yusuf vs. Yusuf Islam, which to me Yusuf is an artist alias of Yusuf Islam..
      • 2020-10-04 27842, 2020

      • cheezmo2_
        Can you imagine interviewing him to try to determine artist intent. Wow.

        Hello guys, first time writing a Picard plugin and so I feel a bit clueless.
      • 2020-10-04 27850, 2020

      • diggy
        Are third-party imports allowed? The only plugin I came across in the repo that used third-party imports was the BPM analyzer and it claims to be Linux-only. So is the limitation due to my device running on Windows and is there any (clumsy or not) way to get around the limitations?

        diggy: It won't work on Windows or macOS because on those systems Picard gets packaged up with it's own Python, and this does only include modules that are actually needed. On Linux or alike this is not an issue, because the system provided Python is being used
      • 2020-10-04 27850, 2020

      • outsidecontext
        You have multiple options: If it is only for your personal use you could run Picard from source with a system isntalled Python
      • 2020-10-04 27806, 2020

      • outsidecontext
        Or you can include the necessary module in your plugin
      • 2020-10-04 27823, 2020

      • outsidecontext
        which only works well if your plugin does not rely on additional C libs

        https://github.com/metabrainz/picard-plugins/tree… is an example of a plugin bundling a third party module
      • 2020-10-04 27822, 2020

      • diggy
        Thanks for the help. I'll try with the second option first but one of the modules is a Cython wrapper so let's see how it goes. Would probably have to go with the first option if there's no choice.
