        kepstin-work: indeed, nikki had some concepts for that but dunno
      • 2012-06-01 15352, 2012

      • Freso
        Isn't it possible to simply say "a different recording"? >_>
      • 2012-06-01 15322, 2012

      • reosarevok
        kepstin-work: the main problems are keeping them in sync, and the fact that I guess we need to codify that in case of conflicts between the original and the translations, the original applies
      • 2012-06-01 15326, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Freso: where?
      • 2012-06-01 15342, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Freso, that's what grouping different recordings under the same work implies?

        jacobbrett: Well, then you don't need to indicate that the interlude is a later/earlier version from the "final" one.

      • SultS2
      • 2012-06-01 15352, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Freso: the problem is that the interlude, in this case, precedes the creation of a full work with lyrics
      • 2012-06-01 15308, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Freso, in this case I added the recordings under different works, because I feel they're substantially different from one another, which I also suppose implies "different version"
      • 2012-06-01 15317, 2012

      • kepstin-work would put them as two works, with a link between the works.
      • 2012-06-01 15341, 2012

      • reosarevok
        kepstin-work: so would I, but I'd much rather call that "derivative" or "related" than "later version of" :(
      • 2012-06-01 15359, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        I take 'leter version of' to mean 'derivative'.
      • 2012-06-01 15305, 2012

      • jacobbrett
      • 2012-06-01 15309, 2012

      • Freso
        reosarevok: Hence my point about that there should be a "different version of".
      • 2012-06-01 15311, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        except with better spelling
      • 2012-06-01 15325, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        I'd rather just rename the 'later version' ar to have a more general name
      • 2012-06-01 15343, 2012

      • reosarevok
        SultS: le fuck?
      • 2012-06-01 15349, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Ah, is that what you meant, Freso? "later" --> "different"
      • 2012-06-01 15350, 2012

      • SultS
        anyone know about cases where one MB release information has been replaced by another without any trace?
      • 2012-06-01 15305, 2012

      • SultS
        http://musicbrainz.org/release/3f8c96f8-bf02-47d9… seems to be the one it comes from, reosarevok
      • 2012-06-01 15322, 2012

      • reosarevok is confused here
      • 2012-06-01 15329, 2012

      • SultS
        as am I
      • 2012-06-01 15327, 2012

      • warp
        brrr. corrupted data!
      • 2012-06-01 15351, 2012

      • SultS
        it may be a tracklist replacement with possibly recording durations also erased/written over
      • 2012-06-01 15326, 2012

      • reosarevok
        warp: any hints?
      • 2012-06-01 15335, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I haven't heard of such a bug :/

      • 2012-06-01 15339, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        So, a band re-records the vocals of a track in Simlish for a Sims game..."translated parody"?
      • 2012-06-01 15310, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        jacobbrett: sounds right
      • 2012-06-01 15300, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        jacobbrett: and don't forget to set the lyrics language on the new work to "No linguistic content"
      • 2012-06-01 15322, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Oh, that's an option? I set it to Artificial
      • 2012-06-01 15343, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        artificial is for languages with actual meaning :)
      • 2012-06-01 15301, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        (you could use it for e.g. klingon, tolkien elvish)
      • 2012-06-01 15316, 2012

      • bricas
        that's both awesome and sad at the same time ;)
      • 2012-06-01 15353, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        someone should write some klingon drinking songs and add them to musicbrainz :)
      • 2012-06-01 15319, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Well, I think the punchline of the chorus' is sung in English...
      • 2012-06-01 15305, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        aww, you might have to go with multiple languages then, if it's significant enough in your opinion
      • 2012-06-01 15329, 2012

      • SultS
        warp, I should still create a ticket, right?
      • 2012-06-01 15359, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        kepstin-work: This'll drive me mad!
      • 2012-06-01 15328, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        i'd still go with the predominant language of the work if there is one
      • 2012-06-01 15346, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        and only use multiple languages if there's about even use of the different languages.
      • 2012-06-01 15348, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        "No linguistic content"--which is technically false, lol
      • 2012-06-01 15317, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        what, you have a way to translate simlish to a real language?
      • 2012-06-01 15333, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        No, the English phrase
      • 2012-06-01 15355, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Also, I'd like to sell you a shiny wooden box...
      • 2012-06-01 15301, 2012

      • Freso
        Tykling: Ikke 100%, men der er en del strenge allerede: https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/musicbrainz/…
      • 2012-06-01 15311, 2012

      • kepstin-work likes shiny wooden boxes.
      • 2012-06-01 15339, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        No linguistic content should be in square brackets...
      • 2012-06-01 15342, 2012

      • Freso
        kepstin-work: There is a "No lyrical content" option for works?
      • 2012-06-01 15358, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        Freso: no.
      • 2012-06-01 15333, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        there's a lyrics language option, which lets you set the lyrics language to say that "there are lyrics, but they aren't in a language with meaning"
      • 2012-06-01 15357, 2012

      • Freso
        Aw. Man.
      • 2012-06-01 15334, 2012

      • Freso
        I've added a bunch of (mostly trad.) tunes, which obv. have no lyrics at all. And been unable to mark them properly so.
      • 2012-06-01 15301, 2012

      • Freso
        (And unable to mark them as any specific kind of work too.)
      • 2012-06-01 15305, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        the best we can do now is just not give the work a lyricist.
      • 2012-06-01 15330, 2012

      • jacobbrett
        Freso: I'm in the same boat with non-classical instrumentals...
      • 2012-06-01 15302, 2012

      • warp
        SultS: yeah, although it may get closed as "Cannot reproduce" if we cannot figure out what happened.
      • 2012-06-01 15306, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        we have an 'instrumental' checkbox on the 'recording of' ar that's useful pretty much only for instrumental versions of songs that previously had vocals
      • 2012-06-01 15326, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Freso / kepstin-work: technically, zzx no linguistic content can be used for no content at all
      • 2012-06-01 15338, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (there were some debates on the ISO code meanings about it)
      • 2012-06-01 15346, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But that's not too useful, sadly
      • 2012-06-01 15354, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        hmm, our wording of the attribute name makes that more unclear tho
      • 2012-06-01 15312, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        because if you set the 'lyrics language', presumably you're saying something about the lyrics
      • 2012-06-01 15332, 2012

      • reosarevok
        kepstin-work: yeah, although the line is fuzzy
      • 2012-06-01 15334, 2012

      • warp
        SultS: the other release was added first, and it looks like the tracklist is a perfect match if you ignore the trailing tracks.
      • 2012-06-01 15338, 2012

      • reosarevok
        What's "no lyrics"?
      • 2012-06-01 15354, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Is scat singing no linguistic lyrics, or none at all?
      • 2012-06-01 15300, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Or random growls
      • 2012-06-01 15305, 2012

      • warp
        SultS: perhaps the code which re-uses tracklists has a bug where it doesn't check correctly that their lengths are the same.
      • 2012-06-01 15315, 2012

      • warp
        (or had a bug, seeing this release was entered in 2011)
      • 2012-06-01 15327, 2012

      • kepstin-work would only consider them lyrics if they can be written down and used for repeat/cover performances
      • 2012-06-01 15348, 2012

      • reosarevok
        kepstin-work: that's very fuzzy too. Is an instruction lyrics, for esample?
      • 2012-06-01 15350, 2012

      • reosarevok
        *x
      • 2012-06-01 15308, 2012

      • Freso
        kepstin-work: Meh. Lilting can be written down and repeated for another performance - that doesn't make it any more lyrics than writing down the notes, rhythm, or chords of a tune though.
      • 2012-06-01 15309, 2012

      • reosarevok
        "Improvisation on the following motif" or whatever
      • 2012-06-01 15338, 2012

      • 2012-06-01 15356, 2012

      • kepstin-work notes that track 1 on http://coverartarchive.org/release/a1136fcf-30c8-4926-8381-f3e38c7b978d/1103226790.jpg is an example of a work with lyrics but no linguistic content
      • 2012-06-01 15306, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        it's just written out phonetically.

      • 2012-06-01 15335, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        SultS: there might be a merge in that release's past which didn't get included in the edit history for some reason.
      • 2012-06-01 15347, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        I remeber that happening before
      • 2012-06-01 15346, 2012

      • SultS
        kepstin-work, that would not explain the lost track durations
      • 2012-06-01 15347, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        SultS: hmm. that release was either added post-ngs, or created during the ngs conversion
      • 2012-06-01 15355, 2012

        the mbid doesn't exist pre-ngs
      • 2012-06-01 15314, 2012

        I’d suggest secondhandsongs instead

        As a total newbie I have a question ;) Let's take this (great) Pearl Jam album, http://musicbrainz.org/release/7244f710-6090-43a2…

        Where should the Genre be positioned? Or is there no Genre option on MB.
      • 2012-06-01 15308, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        Digweed: there is no genre on mb.
      • 2012-06-01 15317, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        but we do have tags
      • 2012-06-01 15332, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        (which you can fill in with whatever you like, including genre names)
      • 2012-06-01 15337, 2012

      • Digweed
        Ok, because my tagger (Jaikoz) says genre is "Other" lol. I guess that data comes from somewhere else....

      • Digweed
        Discogs I guess
      • 2012-06-01 15308, 2012

      • kepstin-work
        yeah, I don't know how jaikoz genres work, and the author isn't around at the moment

      • reosarevok
        Discogs is probably it
      • 2012-06-01 15312, 2012

      • reosarevok
        no
      • 2012-06-01 15315, 2012

      • Digweed
        Discogs says Grunge
      • 2012-06-01 15320, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Discogs has rock, style: grunge
      • 2012-06-01 15322, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah
      • 2012-06-01 15332, 2012

      • Digweed
        Jeez where does this come from lol.
      • 2012-06-01 15302, 2012

      • Digweed
        One song says Rock in my tagger. I did autoupdate, nothing changes.
      • 2012-06-01 15310, 2012

      • Digweed
        It got that date from somewhere.
      • 2012-06-01 15313, 2012

      • Digweed
        *data
      • 2012-06-01 15317, 2012

      • hawke_1
        was the file tagged with a genre before? Maybe it was already tagged and Jaikoz didn’t change it?
      • 2012-06-01 15350, 2012

      • Digweed
        Yes I guess that's it.
      • 2012-06-01 15329, 2012

      • Digweed
        By looking at the tagger's console, it rechecks MB and updates, ignores Discogs because discogs id is present in the tags. Let's see if I can always overwrite Discogs or something.

        Ok, this is a really nasty put away setting in Jaikoz hah.

        reosarevok: I don't understand, if there's an end-date wouldn't "finished" automatically be marked as true in the db anyway?
