        adhawkins: I actually had an example earlier where the barcode was for an official release but the cover provided by the barcode was just bizarre and unrelated

        • 2012-05-01 12230, 2012

      • adhawkins
        Fair enough!

        • 2012-05-01 12238, 2012

      • adhawkins
        Was the cover on the appropriate amazon page?

        • 2012-05-01 12258, 2012

      • nikki
        afaik it doesn't have an amazon page

        Oh ok

        hawke_: pre-ngs we squished covers into a square, but post-ngs we only set max heights/widths. any problems since then were amazon having crappy covers :P (they do have non-square covers, e.g. for dvds and 8cm cds, so it's not that it's impossible for them)

        though if you want to test types, and test *lots* of coverart, use mine (has 35 pieces of cover art, heh)

        Well, at the moment I just want to make a valid request so I can start following any redirects.

      • ianmcorvidae
        if they came with the release I think they should be there

      • derwin
        why count(1) instead of count(*) ?

        • 2012-05-01 12247, 2012

      • derwin
        that's like, an urban legend, isn't it?

        • 2012-05-01 12222, 2012

      • ocharles
        i think so, but it's just habit

        • 2012-05-01 12244, 2012

      • derwin
        mysql, at least, turns : select count(*) into - select count(0) AS `count(*)` from `mysql`.`user`

        • 2012-05-01 12258, 2012

      • derwin
        so your habit is what the optimizer is doing

        • 2012-05-01 12230, 2012

      • ocharles
        yes

        • 2012-05-01 12231, 2012

      • derwin
        I may be a DBA.

        • 2012-05-01 12205, 2012

      • ocharles
        note that count(1) v count(*) could also be interpreted as having semantically different meanings

        • 2012-05-01 12223, 2012

      • ocharles
        so whether or not I chose to write count(1) might not have been motivated by trying to be 'clever' :)

        • 2012-05-01 12234, 2012

      • derwin
        how? I can see how count(<column>) can have different meaning

        • 2012-05-01 12251, 2012

      • derwin
        but how is count(1) v count(*) ?

        • 2012-05-01 12249, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        looks like postgresql does count(*) with a sequential scan of the entire table, there's a note

        • 2012-05-01 12202, 2012

      • ianmcorvidae
        which suggests it's probably not any different than count(1) or such

        • 2012-05-01 12250, 2012

      • ocharles
        i'm looking forward to 9.2

        Depends on how easy it is to fix vs. just copy the tracklist and paste it into a new release's parser

        • 2012-05-01 12228, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I'd say

        • 2012-05-01 12231, 2012

      • drsaunde1
        i agree, just no vote that...easier to add again, especially with an existing tracklist to copy
