zas, outsidecontext: is there an option in Picard to use legal name instead of artist name for tagging? If not, is that something that can be done with a script of some sort?

reosarevok: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/possible-to-...

So, basically it requires a plugin. Ok, thanks

yes ;)

Hi, zas. It was actually me with this question. I will try address it now to you if possible. A situation - i have added a new artist and as usual i do - i have added it in full legal name (as in PRO) and with IPI. But then other editor merged it with other arist, which was named in alias (artist name). I dont mind about merging since its the same person anyway, but now his default name is alias, while i would prefer to still use his full legal

name. Is there any option in MB/picard to use

<Darkloke> his full (birth?) name instead an alias?

There was some discussion about this before with outsidecontext and we (probably) came to conslusion that it would be nice to have a artist birth name as an additional option to use in picard.

ROpdebee: There seems to be a bug with auto diff. When `ROpdebee_autoComputeDiff` exists it will always compute diff automatically regardless if it's `false` or `true` I've overcome this by deleting the item which in turn requires a page reload to become effective.

chaban: Update pushed, should be fixed

atj, darwin: do you know if festivals being listed as "promoters" in RA is a normal practice or some weird thing some people do?

could you give an example?

" Promoter not found "

good times. :(

so, like.. https://ra.co/promoters/us/sanfrancisco

is a weird mix of : promoters, venues, and festivals

Yeah. They have venues as their own thing, so we should use those links for that

Promoters that aren't labels or artists are not something MB currently covers anyway

But the festivals are a weird case

it also isn't every venue-as-promoter, so there has to be some weird case where a venue is considered a promoter

Might be that promoters can create their own pages and some venues just do that?

We have 3 festival-promoters now

(but we don't currently support adding new /promoter links)

So I was wondering whether we need to allow it for series to cover festivals :)

(we looked into this a little in pm and) I think every festival that has a promoter will also have an event for that festival.

because a promoter is an entity-that-sold-tickets-to-an-event via RA

I think the idea is that they have an event for each edition of the festival (which maps to an event in MB)

But the promoter seems to be for the festival as a whole. But that doesn't seem to be "a way to represent a festival" but "a way to sell tickets for a festival"

So not sure it makes sense to support it anyway

yeah, I agree.

<reosarevok> is there an option in Picard to use legal name instead of artist name for tagging? I just updated the Additional Artists Variables plugin to expose variables with the legal name (if available). Submitted PR. Currently available at https://github.com/rdswift/picard-plugins/tree/...

Darkloke wanted that :)

I see that he's not logged in, so I sent him an email letting him know that it's available.

Thanks!

does anybody know how the Bandcamp importer userscript works?

I installed it, but I can't see the button anywhere when I actually visit a Bandcamp release

Should generally be under the release title or so

Do you have a link where you're not seeing it?

yeah, any page: https://garnetrogersmusic.bandcamp.com/album/th...; https://mikevass.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-ion...

(as two examples0

However, if I navigate to https://mikevass.bandcamp.com/releases, I see a button under the title, but it just links to the /album/ page

evelyn: quick question, if you have request policy or the like, enable itto tal kto musicbrainz (was my error too first tiem i atryed this)

oh also it needs noscript to be off for bandcamp

(also an error i did once :D)

noscript completely off or just all scripts allowed?

i see the "import to MB" on this page

well "allow bandcmap" basiclaly

I tried this in a private browsing window, and it didn't help

and musicbrainz, and bcbits

I have noscript completely off

hm

and no request policy or similar

?

Sorry, I don't know what that is

only thing i can think ot try is the susual, refreshed, hard refreshes, browser restart

oh. it's this thing that prevents 3rd party trackers and stuff

evelyn: this is what it looks like for me https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/wtVsA...

i cna import this for you if you wish?

thos i am a bit confused about he artists ...

seems it's already here https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/42c9ac48-9...

Yeah, that's what the small icon by the name means :)

i know ;P

i clicked it : to get to that page

Oh, was confused by the "seems" :)

nvm

Beta updated. Hopefully all works now.

CatQuest: can you go try and filter some reports for your subscriptions?

reosarevok: there doesn't seem to be any "show only in your subscriptions" link on eg https://beta.musicbrainz.org/report/Instruments...

oh artist

KassOtsimine thx

CatQuest: I added it from Discogs instead.

it seems to count "character" as group for somre reason, also "othr" as group

evelyn: no problem

reosarevok: anyway seems to work alright
