That is why it is still hilarious to me >.>

ë_ë whatever man, I'm outa here, gotta split and make food

Have fun :)

In the file naming -> "Name files like this" is there anyway to have it so that it would use %albumartist% unless %albumartist% is "Various Artists" and in that cause just use %artist% ?

The "if"s only seem to see if something is there or not

you can use something like $if($eq(%albumartist%,Various Artists), %artist%, %albumartist%)

(if you don't have any music made by one of the other "Various Artists" in the db :) )

Nope, I'm just trying to escape things being sorted under "Various Artists" when there is more then one Artist on the album

http://musicbrainz.org/release/ad72d5ce-39e6-40... for example

in that case, you can use the %compilation% tag which will be 1 (or True or something like that) if there's more than one artist

I like your way of doing it

That way if it's not tagged as a compliation properly or something, it'll still avoid "Various Artists"

You don't need to put Various Artists in quotes or anything?

no idea, that's why I said "something like" :)

Yeah.. that didn't work >.>

But at least it's a start

kyomi: "compilation" in Picard just means the release artist and all the track artists don't match, IIRC

So it's automatic, it doesn't depend on whether the *type* is compilation

Oh cool

(it's the iTunes meaning of the word)

Ew..

is that not what I said?:P

Mineo: yeah, just making it more explicit :p

So... something like $if($in(%compliation%, yes), %artist%, %albumartist%) ?

nah, if you use %compilation%, $if(%compilation%,... is enough

ok

thanks

sweet.. it works now :D

as long as the value of a tag evaluates to something that's True in python (like non-empty strings, numbers >0, whatever) you can use it as a condition in $if

Oh.. that's pretty damn cool

You don't have to specify the type

ugh.. 503's again.. I thought I was past this

everyone gets them, it's not just you

kyomi: where, cover art?

It seems it's started again, yes :/ http://archive.org/stats/s3.php

kyomi: it often goes down on the weekend :/

Wow.. I'm completely corrupted.. that sounds like innuendo

I hate people that quote themselves like they said something important..

If it was worth remembering.. someone else would have said it
