they need to hire an industrial designer

heh, wish MB had enough money for that

we did at the place I work in for the next generation of the embedded operator units. (My work consists of programming mining equipment.) The UI changed considerably.

(even if we did not hire one, just having that money would be great :p)

right

Sadly with our list of bugs and other stuff to code, we need more devs before we can consider designers

At least we *are* getting another dev this year, that's progress

and there we go, ids sent in

:)

hm mb is open source right?

shouldn't be too hard to get the community to help

Most of the community is as bad in UI design as the devs are :)

well yes, but for the bugs I meant

Oh, yeah

In some cases we do

In others though nobody would touch it without being paid for it

I've been told the release editor code makes kids hide under their beds

right

what language

if you say PHP I'm going to run

English

very funny

The site is a mix of Perl and JS / Template Toolkit

ouch

almost as bad

was gonna say, page source shows Js

See? :)

obviously not js on the server site

side*

well okay it could be node.js...

reosarevok, finished the Grieg stuff yet? :D

I wish :p

So much stuff to fix in the actual releases

Well, not fix as much as update

fun

picard doesn't add in cover art at all does it?

not to .ogg at least

You need a plugin for it

it can save the cover art in the directory iirc

xteejx, needs to be embedded for my usage

(it should also be in the Picard Plugins page)

which is to get my phone to see it

ahh, ignore me then :)

and it needs to be embedded in the new way

there are two ways to do it for *.ogg

my phone only handles the modern way

I have to use a windows program under wine to do that (mp3tag). Haven't found a Linux program that handles it

oh you fast tracked my edits I see

or wait

try the cover art downloader and see what happens

I'm confused by the statistics on my user page

Maybe it will work? dunno

well first the records need to have cover art (and high res too)

:)

right

Most of our cover art still comes from Amazon at the moment

Dunno if that'd be high res enough for your needs anyway, but if it is, you can always add Amazon relationships to get it

(if the stuff is in Amazon, that is)

reosarevok, well I have a Galaxy S3, which is both large and have a 306 dpi screen

if it isn't high res it doesn't look good on it

it has a 720p screen, insane for a phone when you think about it

S3? Can I swap my S2 with you? It's better, honest :D

:P

xteejx, international GSM edition?

anyway the answer is no

lmao

I'm going to copy my entire music library to my 64 GB class 10 sdcard

and you know what, that is not even going to be close to filling it up

my music library is about 7 GB atm

heheh

sadly you can't move apps to the sdcard. Stupid samsung. Might get a custom rom when they matured a bit

for now I'm staying on rooted stock

reosarevok, any hints for BIS releases?

actually never mind, won't have time to do that today

Both Naxos and BIS have some info, sadly, none of them as good as for Naxos ones

But anyway, search for the cat# in the naxos site or on bis.se and that should give you at least something to copy and paste from

Hopefully

reosarevok, BIS is a Swedish brand?

heh

Yeah

Guys, http://musicbrainz.org/recording/2286e475-4d16-... has two ISRCs and http://musicbrainz.org/isrc/USEM38800361 shows two tracks. Am I right in assuming 361 is the 4:54 one and the other is the 3:55 one?

How do you clean these up?

the same recording having multiple ISRCs is actually a very very common thing

what is an ISRC?

Oh... I (wrongly) assumed it was one ISRC per production/release of a track (or recording to MB)

Ideally, it is

First I've came across :)

In practice, it is not

(not always)

Theory vs. music industry....yeah I'm sure that always works hehe ;)

xteejx: yes, you're right this time, though

It seems

claims 361 is 4m 51s

Dunno if the link will work, if not just search for the ISRC

so what is an ISRC then?

:)

irsc's don't discriminate between reissue and remaster.. oh and anything licensed by multiple labels will get multiple isrcs

oh and anything with title variations will get different ones for different titles

biggest problem though is those ISRC submitters that are wrong so often

also some recordings will get licensed in multiple countries

so please don't believe the wiki page about ISRCs... its mostly bullcrap

Well, the page does say "and even identical recordings released in different countries or continents" :p

just read again..the current version isn't as bad as it was

luks: Ping?

luks: https://github.com/lalinsky/acoustid-fingerprin... https://github.com/lalinsky/chromaprint/pull/23

The 1st is necessary to get acoustid-fingerprinter to build on Arch Linux

grrr. trying to install picard from wheezy (on an otherwise squeeze install) wants "183 upgraded, 158 newly installed". I musta dun sumthin wrong.

reosarevok, so where do you find those ISRCs? It is not like the ISBN on books that is always there on the back...

For Hyperion for example they actually have them on their site

A few other labels do the same

hm

In most cases, though, they come from either the CD-Text or other places like spotify

Or the SCPP database

Or the Japanese ISRC database

(the Japanese are the only ones who have a good open DB for it)

reosarevok, done with Grieg yet? :D

3 releases left

reosarevok, still have that link for the other record left?

Which one?

reosarevok, the "baroque for meditation" one

Oh, the images are open there in the browser

right

At some point I'll get to them
