Leftmost: plenty of folks block wget, it's stupid

But... wget is the best thing ever!

wget --user-agent $MSIEUSHERE :-D

or got to http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/ and stash that string for the wget haters

I bet they're blocking wget directly, may as well just put in "fuck you people, I'll use what software I want" as the UA :P

give a sysadmin a nice laugh if they look at logs :P

Indeed

Anyone that thinks blocking wget useragent string stops anyone form downloading something is fundamentally ignorant of how the www works

and really, if someone is using wget, they probably know enough about how the web works that that won't stop them, but merely annoy them

I used to wget cover art from discogs, but something in their new architecture broke that.

they actually block wget on their data dumps page too

amusingly enough

I was a nice way for me to avoid navigating my file system in the browser save as dialog, since I usually had a shell open in the album folder where I wanted the cover art.

It's not like I was grabbing jpgs at any faster rate than firefox would

I'd just prefer not to have to scan my cd sleeves if they already exist in file format.

for this, should I be keeping (Original) ?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about how weird/bad transifex's own translated site is...

"Mai 06, 04:30nachm.", "2 Tage, 16 Stunden ago"...

i have a problem with a release

but

the cd has 7 tracks

one is a silence track between the songs

now i dont know what to do

add the silence track, titled "[silence]"

i have the cd so i could add the TOC... but i dont know what to do with the release already added

using the release editor, you can add a track

ianweller: ok...i will do that

xsteadfastx: just be sure to add it between the correct two tracks, and then after that you can attach the disc ID

i have the cd here in my computer and i will check everything... just to be sure :)

thank you ianweller it helped alot

:)

i was just curious about it... beacuse the track listings on discogs are wrong too...

maybe someone could give me a vote

else i cant add the TOC

yeah... one more and i can add the toc :)

i still need a vote to add a cd TOC...maybe someone can give me a vote

ok... now i have three "yes" votes... but its still open... what do i do wrong?

You wait until the hour, when it applies

ah ok :)

thanks

i wonder if its possible to link from bootlegs in musicbrainz to the place at archive.org where you can download them

Sure

If they're in the live music archive, that sounds fine :)

they wanted to add and map them all at some point

should i use "relate to URL"?

oh yeah

Yep

i saw it now

sorry

np!

i need some help to add a cover relationship

i have no idea howto do that

Relate to

Paste the URL

Select "recording of"

check the "cover" box

Done!

ok...got it... i just wasnt sure

but i made a mistake

i added a new work... but i dont need it no more http://musicbrainz.org/edit/22054531

how can i delete it?

If it's empty, it'll go away on its own

perfect

still so much to learn for me :)

heh

I just created a dupe work by mistake too

That happens :)

(terrible stuff :/ )

Anybody here use Google Books regularly?

hawi look at books on google books occasionally yea

hawke_1: more like occasionally for me

not logged in or buyin or so but

I ask because as far as I can tell…the “preview” interface is awesome…

google books often have books to read that the full book

…but the actual web reader once you purchase something (incl. “free” stuff) is fucking terrible

yea only read online not a buy or so

and there doesn’t seem to be a way to read a full book using the preview interface

Can't you just download epub and read it in your preferred reader?

also I have yahoo! books, read. it works pretty good. but again, online, it's pdf reading, not downloadng or logging in or buying anything

ArtGravity: Nope, because they’re all fucking encrypted ePubs.

:(

ArtGravity: At least they give refunds easily.

wha?
