(which is why it doesn't overflow in my chrome/linux)

IE8 standards fits

jesus2099: the images never touch the mb servers, so modbot doesn't know whether it works or not.

<nikki> flamingspinach: leaving the type blank would probably be more accurate then

oh, I guess so

oh, you know, it may be in part because of fonts

IE7 standards fits but the buttons screw up

quirks, all hell breaks loose :)

heh

nikki: at apply time (at least) modbot could check the URL to see if it’s 200 OK

ie7 isn't even one of our supported browsers, so I'm not concerned about that one

hmm, did it happen again? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/21006774

seriously, no images, 2" deep navbar, screwed layout :)

haha

maybe CAA just really doesn't like this jpeg

wtf...

190% fits nicely and has a nice gap too.

with 190 it presumably puts "Goes" and "Here" on the same line, like it does at 200% for me

that being what the margin-top is optimized for :/

yep

180 fits on two lines and looks too small

yeah

I'd want to change the top margin if I dropped it to 180

if there isn't some way to make the browser automatically resize the font to fill the frame then css3 is lame

if there is one, I don't know what it is

flamingspinach: apparently it works when I upload it

flamingspinach: maybe it’s not a jpg ?

that's not the problem

ok, thanks for uploading it anyway

I guess I'll cancel this edit too

hm, how should I credit a featured artist which is credited as “… feat. <person> of <group>” in the booklet

I use "person of group" as the credited name for "person" for those

yeah

k thx

Weird. I just found ISRCs with country code QM.

yes, I think that's the new US code

they ran out of US codes and I know it's one of the Q codes they used as the successor :P

It's a US release, so that makes sense.

(as in, they ran out of prefixes -- obviously not of codes per se)

There, I added some QM ISRCs.

hehe

you're not the first though ;)

heh

wonder what QM is

all the Q codes are reserved/private use IIRC

"oh dear, we have quite many ISRCs for the US!"

or at least I know QM is in that range

"YES, QM!"

question mark ?

Yes, QM is a private-use code in ISO 3166.

heh

also 26 starting with CN. no idea what's up with those. also 2 with XX

weird, the TC ones should be disallowed

No assigning bodies in TC or CN?

the isrc handbook says ones starting with CN are invalid, china has some weird thing they call isrcs which aren't the same format

TC was hijacked by tunecore

and apparently there's never been any valid ones for there

one assigning body that would have been in TC, last I heard, but which was assigned something in a different range due to the TC hijacking

tunecore originally actually hijacked "US" but that was apparently too much even for them :P

Great.

weird

I see https://musicbrainz.org/isrc/TCABC1193804 in my db...

ianmcorvidae: maybe they gave them CN! :D

haha

I think maybe they had an office in the bahamas or something

CatCat: You were looking for way to see google calendar in your local time. I did something for me that if you want it too, it’s over there : http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/159216 goocal. FORCE LOCAL TIMEZONE it works not only for musicbrainz calendar but for all google calendars

(maybe I should test Firefox and Chrome)

… tested OK.

Regarding http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Classical/Rec... I currently have an orchestra and conductor listed as performers. Underneath the orchestra name is a list of soloists/performers in the orchestra e.g. "József ‘Csósi’ Lendvai, violin solo (No. 3)", "Erika Sebök, flute (No. 4: cadenzas)". Are these relatively "important" performers?

I might add them to the specific recordings

But as long as the relationships are there, it probably doesn't matter much

reosarevok: Yep, I specifically mean recordings. And yeah, it looks like I might have four of these performers plus the orchestra plus conductor on one recording, which seems a bit overboard (though, I don't yet know the extent of their contribution).

Heh, dunno

I don't see a reason to limit the number of artists but it's also probably fine to skip them, even more so since they're probably somewhat credited as part of the orchestra too

reosarevok: Either, though as you mentioned they're implicitly credited as part of the orchestra anyway.

nikki maybe you know this :

Add release expires in 8 days

Add release label expires in 8 days

8 days?

then

Edit release expires in 6 days

and

Edit release label expires in 6 days

will the first edits fail because of the second edits ?

Oh

No

no

You can safely edit stuff being added

cool then :) thank you :)

(I've autoedited plenty of fixes in stuff like that :) )

I ask because usually it does not happen as often as now (we changed voting period and add edits were before and edit edits were after)

reosarevok: you have auto edited a release label for instance before it’s applied and without approving it… making the edit pending on a new edited label, right ? cool

Yep

Or fixed stuff in a release before the add passes

the problems are edits that edit existing data, since then it checks that the old value has not changed, but for adds, there's no old value to check against

oh OK ! Now I understand, nikki !

it was more mystic before this precision

nikki: and this problem (I thought it was random because indeed it did not crash for adds but I didn’t understand when it didn’t crash) is disappearing with NES, isn’t it ?

I don't know the exact details of how it will work, but it's supposed to work a lot better than now, yes.

yes because I’ve heard something like editing an edit, it sounds exactly like that.

Wow, choupydance ☜ so krewl !

Freso, one for you :D http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?pid...

freso: I'm off for lunch, but can chat on this issue aftwards if you want to: https://github.com/JonnyJD/musicbrainz-isrcsubm...

@others: that one is about blu-rays breaking my isrcsubmit version 1 :-)

Ok, so this is actually a channel, brilliant

I'm contemplating starting my own Spotify-type service, i.e. free music streaming - what obstacles would I need to overcome to do this?

I have been told I would need to pay a central organisation for the rights

LOL bobnash has created 2 topics : « How to add an ASIN to a release ? » and « I need to talk in private with someone in charge at MusicBrainz. I want to send massive automated updates to your database » :D

Legally? An insane amount of licensing paperwork and fees I'd expect

please no massive automated ASIN updates :D

Seeing as I'm a lone developer

I wonder if it'd be easier to somehow piggyback off spotify's service

… spotify sounded like I wanted to try it until I saw you had to have a fuckbook account

jesus2099: heh, answered then

jesus2099, I think they recently added that, ye bad move

about one or two weeks before I wanted to try it out, yes. :)

jesus2099: you don't need a Facebook account for spotifiy
