nikki feels the need to point out that despite people complaining every time it goes down, the caa is apparently not as broken as people seem to think

it now accounts for a quarter of all releases with cover art, and the number of releases with caa covers is increasing 10 times as a fast as the number of releases with cover art from asins

(and that's even though hrglgrmpf is running a bot that adds asins)
okay, picard has an option to delete apev2 tags. what if I want to prefer apev2 over id3v2 though? (ie, delete id3v2 and ADD apev2)

causasui: on what file format, mp3?
2013-06-08 15914, 2013
kepstin_ notes that picard does write apev2 tag on a few formats, when it's the standard tag type for that format
2013-06-08 15920, 2013
kepstin_
the main reason not to use apev2 tags on mp3 is that most players won't read them - and since the tags format isn't designed for mp3, it doesn't desynchronize, so some players might play an apev2 tags as noise...
2013-06-08 15925, 2013
kepstin_
(but anyways, picard won't let you write apev2 tags to mp3s - and the real reason for that option is that some players prefer reading the apev2 tags, and don't see picard's updates unless you remove them...)
2013-06-08 15912, 2013
causasui
I don't use any players that don't support apev2 and won't
2013-06-08 15954, 2013

wherever I am playing music it is always streaming through mpd anyway
as kepstin said, it writes it for formats where it's standard. it doesn't let you write them to mp3s

[2013-06-07 14:28:33] <flamingspinach> why do you have to be logged into musicbrainz to see edit pages?

"because"
2013-06-08 15953, 2013

(no good reason, I think)

my understanding is that the notion is to sort of hide the "ugly" bits -- hiding edit pages means that things said in edit notes etc. are in-community, not really public
2013-06-08 15926, 2013
ianmcorvidae
which can help prevent some of the friction between talking in a public persona and focusing on doing the right thing
2013-06-08 15936, 2013
ianmcorvidae
whether that reasoning is reasonable I'm not sure :P but I think that's where it comes from

wow, 504, that's a new one
2013-06-08 15908, 2013
ianmcorvidae
there will probably be more of those actually
2013-06-08 15922, 2013
ianmcorvidae
504 is what happens when the frontend times out, vs. when the backend server times out
2013-06-08 15952, 2013
ianmcorvidae
and the backend timeout is now 60s, which is the same as the frontend, where it used to be 30s backend and 60s frontend
2013-06-08 15900, 2013
Mineo
ah
2013-06-08 15902, 2013
ianmcorvidae
so you're likely to get 504s in cases where you used to get 502s
2013-06-08 15905, 2013
Mineo
that makes sense
2013-06-08 15914, 2013
ianmcorvidae
(but fewer errors of either type overall, hopefully)

why the fk does soemone make a bot to add asins?
2013-06-08 15916, 2013
CatQuest
well with the intent of adding coverart
2013-06-08 15950, 2013
ianmcorvidae
I don't think the bot that adds ASINs is there for getting coverart, it's there for linking ASINs as a remote identifier
2013-06-08 15900, 2013
CatQuest
hmm. is this thing broken
2013-06-08 15915, 2013

its fucking jumpy whenver I do scrollback

2013-06-08 15946, 2013
CatQuest
ah well then it's ok
2013-06-08 15952, 2013
CatQuest
just the way nikki said it about the bot
2013-06-08 15905, 2013
CatQuest
i also add asins
2013-06-08 15955, 2013
CatQuest
I'm a bit sceptical about adding asins by bot tho, you *really* have to be careful to get the right version
2013-06-08 15900, 2013
nikki
it uses barcodes
2013-06-08 15907, 2013
CatQuest
yea.
2013-06-08 15912, 2013
CatQuest
not a good idea
2013-06-08 15922, 2013
nikki
the edits its made against artists I'm subscribed to have all been correct so I just approved them
2013-06-08 15941, 2013
CatQuest
oh theedits are open? t
2013-06-08 15944, 2013
nikki
yes
2013-06-08 15946, 2013
CatQuest
that's alright then
2013-06-08 15901, 2013
nikki
I always add asins if I can, yet somehow I keep missing some
2013-06-08 15918, 2013
nikki
every time the bot comes along I'm like "wtf? why doesn't it have one already!" :P
2013-06-08 15926, 2013
CatQuest
does ti d omp3/cd version right too?
2013-06-08 15951, 2013
CatQuest
also I have a hard time.. this amazon does not sisplay brcodes :/
2013-06-08 15951, 2013
nikki
it checks formats and afaik the mp3 ones don't have barcodes, so I guess so
I'm trying to setup the mbslave postgres DB, does anyone know if I can pick and choose which files from the dump to import into the DB or if you have to import all of them for it to work? https://bitbucket.org/lalinsky/mbslave/src
