        jacobbrett: But, I mean, the longer and more comprehensive it is, the fewer people will read it.
      • jacobbrett
        We'll give them all professors on sign-up
      • how many can you fit into your outbox at once?

        DrDyna: Image just opened for me (shit router)--the green icon is just a meter representing a match percentage between the existing tags and MusicBrainz's proposed tags.
      • Freso
        Anyone knows how I can get Debian (or Ubuntu, I guess it is) to trust a certificate manually added to /usr/share/ca-certificates/?
      • DrDyna
        ah, ok, so if it's in there and i save it, the proposed tags get applied, the meter is just telling me how different it is?
      • reosarevok
        ocharles / warp: there's a launch streaming for an album in a friend's netlabel now, might enjoy it http://www.plug.dj/black-lantern-music/
      • DrDyna
        i've made it about halfway through my music so far, i just want to make sure what i think has happened to it actually did, lol
      • jacobbrett
        Yup...presumably after saving they'd all be equivalent to dark green (100%) icons--though they'll actually be ticks if the special MB tags all saved properly.
      • warp
        reosarevok: plug.dj still doesn't have a normal login thing
      • reosarevok
        warp, you have a google account :p
      • DrDyna
        awesome, thanks
      • warp
        yes, I have three of thouse. I have two facebook accounts and one twitter account as well.
      • skd5aner joined the channel
      • doesn't mean I want plug.dj to know any of them (or them knowing about my plug.dj usage).
      • DrDyna
        that plug.dj thing looks a lot like wavelength.fm
      • jcazevedo joined the channel

        Maybe instead of the guideline format, capitalization standard english should be an advice column.

      • CallerNo6
        And thus "Dear Jacobbrett" was born.
      • jacobbrett
        "jacobbrett" dont need know stinkin capital letters
      • CallerNo6
        You're off to a good start.
      • demosdemon
        :P
      • jacobbrett
        Interesting, doing a CD lookup for a release will add a "MusicBrainz Disc ID" field to your tags...
      • DrDyna: I used "Listening Room" a while ago--nicely presented and worked well...it's dead now, though http://musicmissionary.wordpress.com/2011/07/14...
      • DrDyna
        yeah that looks pretty cool
      • awh, it's offline.
      • warp
        heh. wavelength.fm allowed me to skip tracks without even logging in.
      • DrDyna
        oh yeah
      • demosdemon drags off to school
      • demosdemon
        I don't wanna go
      • DrDyna
        i think if you make your own room though you can set it private so random people can't come in and troll you by changing your tracks
      • demosdemon
        I hate the first day, stupid teachers and their stupid syllabi
      • DrDyna
        my girlfriend hates it too, she works at the college bookstore, they've been getting their butts kicked all week with people coming in

        hey, do you guys do email changes when a user has lost access to their old email and also their password, ahem
      • Freso
        DrDyna: Easily their most famous track, though I find it to be far from one of their best. It's a classic none-the-less.
      • DrDyna
        yeah.
      • Freso
        Daedolon?
      • Daedolon: Try and write support [at musicbrainz.org] I think it is.
      • DrDyna
        I think my favorite BB album is check your head
      • Daedolon
        seems like musicbrainz has stopped camelcasing special capitalization cases and I almost want to go back to using it
      • let's try the email
      • Freso
        DrDyna: I have no idea which release I think is best. I listen to them all, randomly sorted. :p Still, the tracks I find I prefer tend to be the ones where they actually rap to a breakbeat. 3 MCs and 1 DJ is a good example of this.
      • DrDyna
        yeah
      • Freso
        But then, I'm a b-boy, so most anything to a good breakbeat earns instant plusses in my book. :)
      • DrDyna
        i like the ones that are kinda downtempo from check your head, like "something's got to give"
      • it's one of those classic "heroin" tracks as I call em, lmao
      • Freso
        Yeah. Not my cup of tea. :D But I think it's great that they've experimented and not just went with tried'n'true ways.
      • DrDyna
        yeah
      • Freso
        (But then MixMaster Mike kind of got his interest in DJ'ing sparked from his love of experimenting.)
      • Daedolon
        now we wait

        Are ASIN supposed to be on release where the country does't have an Amazon website?
      • reosarevok
        _5moufl, which country?
      • _5moufl
        poland
      • Orcie joined the channel
      • reosarevok tends to use DE for all Eastern European stuff
      • reosarevok
        (now lidel comes tell me how Poland is totally CENTRAL European)
      • DrDyna
        +1 central lol
      • _5moufl
        nvm, ANYWAY both ASIN on said release aren't the same media
      • grammatically incorrect but I assume that you understood me
      • lidel
        reosarevok, only if you use Windows-1250 ;-)
      • (Windows-1250 was always listed as Central European, so its MS fault ;-))
      • TheLastProject
        Ah! Format for downloads should be "Digital Media"
      • Dammit, that was stupid of me to not realize...
      • _5moufl
      • reosarevok
        _5moufl, probably
      • I think mp3 don't share an ASIN
      • _5moufl
        looks stupid imo, why don't they have one... :(
      • CallerNo6
        I'd rather a digital release have 3 asins than have meaningless duplicates of a digital release.
      • reosarevok
        Agreed
      • hawke_
        I can’t see removing discIDs working, without a suitably concrete replacement for getting accurate durations. :-/
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        ocharles guy and other, you might like this? http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/07/28/quick-does...
      • CallerNo6
        I'd like to complain again about a tunecore code, formatted "CCXXYYYNNNNN/NNN/NNN".
      • hawke_
        CallerNo6: OK, shoot.
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        <CallerNo6> I'd like to complain again about a tunecore code
      • tune core code
      • tunecore
      • tuna
      • CallerNo6
        That's it. My complaint is, why put a malformed number in the ISRC field, where it will confuse icedax?
      • hawke_
        CallerNo6: Because Tunecore wants to issue their own recording IDs?
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        we removed them
      • hawke_
        CallerNo6: Also, Is that really an “ISRC field”?
      • CallerNo6
        Well, it's "ISRC "TCABE122395\002\366"" in the CD-Text
      • hawke_
        CallerNo6: My understanding was that the ISRC and all that were using more-or-less out-of-spec bits of the red book spec.
      • DrDyna
        Ok, so, I'm working on my third release submission....ASIN number...i didn't add it while I was submitting it, can it be edited in? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/18769935
      • ianmcorvidae
        my patch disallowing tunecore IDs in the ISRC field hasn't shipped yet
      • but anyway just put tunecore IDs in the annotation
      • CallerNo6
        ianmcorvidae: yeah, understood. I'm just mad because it confused icedax.
      • (returned gibberish)
      • kepstin-work
        CallerNo6: the real isrcs aren't stored in cd-text, iirc; they use a different subchannel.
      • reosarevok
        DrDyna, ASINs are added after adding anyway
      • (via "relate to URL")
      • DrDyna
        ah, ok
      • still trying to teach myself how to do this properly, lmao
      • CallerNo6
        kepstin-work: hm. I was wondering about that.
      • DrDyna
        and I don't see where I can relate it to url.
      • reosarevok
        DrDyna, "Relate to URL" is in the sidebar
      • (of the release page)
      • DrDyna
        aha!
      • function1
        is there some way to reload picard plugins dynamically, without restarting picard?
      • DrDyna feels better now
      • kepstin-work
        function1: no, and it would probably be hard to add :/
      • hawke_
        kepstin-work: AccordingToWikipedia™, it’s all part of the same spec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-Text
      • bitmap
        function1, kepstin-work: actually, if you reinstall the plugin it reloads it
      • kepstin-work has been proven wrong yet again!
      • :P
      • _5moufl
        release editor is broken ?
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        can we implement the ianmcorvidae's patch yet?
      • function1
        meh, about as many clicks either way
      • ianmcorvidae
        I need to make some fixes to it
      • reosarevok
        _5moufl, more than normal?
      • _5moufl
        yes
      • bitmap
        function1: you can also drag and drop the plugin to the plugin list to install it. but I agree, needs a faster way :)
      • reosarevok
        How?
      • _5moufl
        nvm works again :s
      • kepstin-work
        hawke_: the cd-text is stored in either the lead-in or in subchannels r through w, but the red-book isrc encoding is in subchannel p.
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        ianmcorvidae: oh? what?
      • DrDyna
        I reloaded a plugin like that when I didn't feel like re-doing a huge list of lookups
      • kepstin-work
        hawke_: you can encode isrc in cd-text in *addition* to the channel p encoding.
      • ianmcorvidae
        ZaphodBeeblebrox: just some code-cleanliness stuff, might look into it now
      • hawke_
        kepstin-work: Ah, gotcha.
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        :D
      • kepstin-work
        hawke_: er, I mean channel q sorry
      • it's q, not p :)
      • ianmcorvidae
        ZaphodBeeblebrox: I'd stopped working on it because we hit beta freeze -- but now we're out of that so I should look at it again
      • _5moufl
        reosarevok: it's just really slow
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        beta freeze?
      • ianmcorvidae
        one week before release, we stop merging things to beta so that existing bugs in what's there can be found without it changing further
      • last week was that week, since a release happened today
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        oh!
      • ianmcorvidae
        there's no actual ban on working on stuff, since it can just sit on codereview, but I decided to leave that patch for last week
      • kepstin-work still wants to find/build a tool to pull isrcs off dvds.
