How does the "unlink an acoustid" edit work? does that go through MB's edit queue?

CallerNo6: no; all acoustid stuff is handled on the acoustid server.

hm. So there's no checks'n'balances? If I screw up, I screw up?

CallerNo6: it's trivial to re-link an acoustid

derwin: I imagine I'll just follow somewhere others are going :) but perhaps we'll end up there

ianmcorvidae: my point is you could get fueled up beforehand

really good breakfast stuff

derwin: ah, possibly -- my flight gets in at 9:45, but I guess that still leaves a small chunk of time :)

Hi everyone, quick question: There's two guys Andy Hobbs and Daniel Blishen that go under aliases Hobzee and Zyon Base respectively. They recorded a few singles as Hobzee & Zyon Base, but their most recent (and the most popular) work is released under Silent Dust name.

Obviously, there's a mess around here and I wanted to clean it all up a little.

So far there's 5 artists in mb database (2x real names, 2x aliases, 1x alias&alias collaboration)

Silent Dust yet to be added :P

Should I merge real names into aliases? Discogs say they only use their real names in credits somewhere, not labelling any particular releases.

(and later add real name info into alias disambiguation field)?

make sure someone agrees with me, but, what I'd do is: merge real names into the performance names, ultimately correcting the alias that'll be added to the performance-name artists to be marked as a real name

and 2.) use the "edit artist credit" thing to change the two-performance-names-separated-by-& name into an artist credit crediting the two performance names

Silent Dust sounds like a separate artist, which you should link the two people to with the 'member of' relationship

Ok, thanks :D

Wait, 'cause 2. point

I guess I go here to every release with fake collab artist and change it to both artists separated by &, right?

not quite

you can just use the "Split into separate artists" link

which will do all of that for you :)

(configurably, of course, but it'll do them all at once)

Oh, didn't see that one. Great :D

Thanks a lot!

away

heh

TODAY IS CAPSLOCK DAY!

derwin: what does f/e mean

YAH MAN ZaphodBeeblebrox REALLY ?

CatCat: for example

EXCELLENT NEWS !

LONGING FOR

I UPDATED INLINE STUFF SO NOW IT RULES MOARE THAN BEFORE WHEN TRACK NAME ≠ RECORDING NAME

IN THAT CASE

derwin: the policy is that we do not censor anything

HI JESUS!!!

also derwin, there really is no need to use [off] all the time srsly

shouldn't they (or at least some of them) be merged? https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=eastwest&a...

especially if they have the same label code

HEY WHAT A PAIN IN THE HEADACHES !

LOCAL STORAGE IS NOT SHARED BETWEEN HTTP AND HTTPS

GROß MALHEUR

jesus2099, do you need to store a lot of data in localstorage?

_5moufl: +1 for merging these labels

why ?

kovacsur: what do you means ?

_5moufl: warning

-1

:)

if you don't, you could switch to cookies, they persist across http/https by default

the problem of cookies is that there is limited amount of cookies per website so I don’t want to limit others userjs nor MB code itself. Thus I now use localStorage… just that I didn’t know there was a https split

_5moufl: I mean murdos did certainly not mean merge all of these https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=eastwest&a...

not ”ALL” I guess

Maybe ONLY those same LC…

jesus2099: that was implied, of course. if you had read carefully what _5moufl said previously.

FYI : I CAN’T READ CAREFULLY

Data has changed since this edit was created, and now conflicts with changes made in this edit

ALWAYS TWO FICKUNG WEEKS LATERS ↗

The telegram label code must be wrong

fixed

which edit jesus2099 ?

MANYS

;)

TOO MANYS

OKAYS

http://musicbrainz.org/edit/19393476 this time and another http://musicbrainz.org/edit/19252461

_5moufl: IT’S FICKUNG PÉNIBLE J’TE JURRE

ÇA TE FAIT DU 4 OUIKSES POUR 1 EDIT ET DU BOULOT EN PLUS

I had a shitload of those at oine point.

enfin bon, c’est du passé tout ça

Does Picard support MusicBrainz Release Group Id?

It is mentioned in mapping table, but not under basic picard tags list (http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard/Tags)

Skeebadoo: The latest version in Git does.

Skeebadoo: I'm not sure 1.1 does.

1.2 definitely will though.

It's in beta now, right?

Eh. Picard doesn't really do beta releases as such. :)
