there has been huge change in how the release is HTML generated recently, i’m being adapting all my usr scripts one by one (i’ve only done INLINE STUFF and PLAIN TEXT TRACKLIST as of yet)

next one is JASRAC work import but maybe stop for today

hello nikki, is it simple to explain the difference between everyone and everybody ?

(bbq)

can everybody see this character ? → ❏

does it eveocate a link that will open in a new window to you ?

(the ❏ character)

is there anybody out there ?  :D

or anyone

too late

I saw it as half a monitor

it’s never too late for jesus, thanks MissDee  :)

i’m looking for the character that would evoque the most obviously possible a new tab/window link…

this one might not be so good…

oh but i could use the same image as the mb wiki (a 214 byte data URL)

but that’s like thousands more bytes than a character

http://blog.musicbrainz.org/what character (codepoint) were you lookign to use?

I guess my utf8 is broken again :)

I assume you can still see me :)

jesus2099: I just see a box, so I'm guessing whatever terminal font I have does not support whatever character you're trying to use.

ttp://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/274f/index.htm

that's the character he used so what I saw was correct, but irssi/putty had cut it off

I assumed he, they :)

in answer to the original question, I don;t think it's obviosu it measn external url

Oh. I probably did see the proper character then. :p

So no, not at all obvious. :D

the hell

is it 2013 already

I think we switched a few weeks ago.

What? Jesus wanted to use the character that looks like "the character can't be displayed" to open a new window?

Thanks jonnyjd, Freso and missdee :) I will find something better

jesus2099: the words are synonyms for me

How would one go about requesting to become an Auto-Editor? Can someone look at my editing history and deem me worthy or not?

cheezmo2: yes, existing auto-editors can nominate a user

typically an editor does this if they come across the edits of a user often enough and see that those are good edits.

(I don't edit/vote much, so I don't nominate people)

My editor name is "Cheezmo". I've been editing a few years, and there are some cleanups I've been trying to do to associate recordings properly that are a real pain when you have to wait a week to be able to see the new disambiguations, etc. I realize I'll have to impose some restraint. I'm curious if Auto-Editors can submit edits that still require normal voting if they are unsure of something.

cheezmo2: yes, auto-editors can submit non-auto-edits

Good to know.

and you had to wait 2 weeks until recently

Jonny: I was painfully aware of that!

cheezmo2: if you just need a few edits approved, just ask here for some help. there are quite a few auto-editors in the channel, one of us often can spare a few minutes to double check and approve a few edits.

Maybe that is the way to do it, bug people enough and they'll want me to just auto-edit :-)

OK, I just added a bunch of disambiguation to recordings on the new XTC Nonsuch blu-ray could someone approve those so I can fix the CD which was associated with the original mix and should be the new 2013 mixes?

if it's a blu-ray, isn't it video?

No, it is a blu-ray multiple audio track lists. Original stereo mix, 2013 stereo mix, 2013 instrumental mix, and 5.1 mixes.

There are 2 music videos.

Blu-ray audio is a new thing. the new Tommy box set has one in it too.

so it is a data blu-ray with files

there is something as blu-ray audio?

is the audio better than on dvd-audio?

Yes, it is kind of like DVD-Audio, but on Blu-ray now.

Primarily audio only content. There is a whole bunch being released by Universal.

It isn't really a different format like DVD-Audio, it is just Blu-ray that only (or mostly) has audio only content.

well, I just read a bit and it sounds like this is something more BD players should support

All blu ray players support it, there is nothing special about them

Super audio CDs and DVD-Audio wasn't supported much

well, that is reason enough for the format

Yeah, if you are going to sell high resolution audio on disc, that is the way to go. But I think downloads will win out pretty quick.

cheezmo2: wouldn't be sure about that. Many high end players don't really support high resolution files

We have a radio in the kitchen that can play files from the network, but has problems with gapless playback

not sure how good it works with sonos or other "leading" products

Could someone look at my next round of edits to XTC Nonsuch, correcting the recording associations... https://musicbrainz.org/release/a989e3d2-e27c-4...

I want to add ISRCs for the CD but the recordings needed to be fixed first.

My biggest problem is entering these DVD-Audio/Blu-ray audio releases that have multiple mixes (original, new, 5.1) on the same disc. After entering the track lists, adding all the disambiguations and not being able to see them for a week to know if it all looks right.

Would need a way to add disambiguation when creating a new recording on the new release edit.

Voted.

Strange annotation on that release

Also, two AcoustIDs for almost every track on disc 1…

should probably be cleared when ISRCs are attached

Wonder if someone got their mixes mixed up sometime

It looks like indeed they did.

“Omnibus” has a 9-second difference on that release compared to the others: https://musicbrainz.org/recording/0063add6-bb23...

But I suppose cheezmo2’s edits will fix that.

It was initially entered with the CD referencing original recordings. That is the mess I'm trying to clean up.

And then I need to add the instrumental and 5.1 mixes to the blu-ray.

Yep.

Something that would be much easier for an Auto-Editor to clean up (hint hint).

And then I will get started on the new Who Tommy box set. Ugh.

I will make sure all the track time on nonsuch match my CD + Bluray set before I'm done.

Gonna run some errands and let that round of edits settle, thanks for the votes everyone.

cheezmo2: regarding the message you sent me, you must be thinking of someone else

How is this AcoustID such a clusterfuck? https://acoustid.org/track/8797020

hawke_1: quite obviously mistagged "shared" files, I'd say

perhaps, but that’s some serious mistagging

I mean, Bill Cosby Theme vs. Mission Impossible?

if it also is "track x" and has the same length (and you don't have other information and don't actually listen..)

I guess.

Well, on the bright side, the track is named properly, theme wise, for whoever wishes to clean it up!

luks: If you’re around, I think this AcoustID may have a wrong duration. ;-) https://acoustid.org/track/22269581

(I take it that it doesn’t validate the claimed duration against the actual data…)

Could I please get one more vote for these couple of edits so I can continue cleaning up this new release? http://musicbrainz.org/release/a989e3d2-e27c-40...

hawke_1: One tv theme mixed up with another tv theme doesn't seem that farfetched to me. They've probably been on the same compilation and someone mixed the order up when they tagged the files.

Nope, not on that same compilation.

nikki: what's up with this one: https://musicbrainz.org/area/947f837e-6dd5-4b36...

presumably it crashed before it could finish adding it

yah it added this one: https://musicbrainz.org/area/41fe33f6-86ce-4d7e... right after

can you delete or merge?
