so yeah, standardized names will deal with different crediting but won't change Richard James to Aphex Twin or vice versa
2012-02-19 05038, 2012
derwin
is the example
2012-02-19 05003, 2012
ianmcorvidae
ah, yes
2012-02-19 05018, 2012
ianmcorvidae
use standardized names would list "Stazma The Junglechrist", since that's the name for the artist
2012-02-19 05026, 2012
ianmcorvidae
while the normal system would use 'Stazma'
2012-02-19 05026, 2012
derwin
ok
2012-02-19 05026, 2012
kepstin-laptop
derwin: ah, I read your original question backwards. I thought you said that "Stazma" was credited as "Stazma The Junglechrist"
2012-02-19 05036, 2012
ianmcorvidae
yeah, that had confused me too :)
2012-02-19 05038, 2012
derwin
kepstin-laptop: I thought it was the other way around, my bad
2012-02-19 05051, 2012
derwin
I guess "Stazma The Junglechrist" is canonical
2012-02-19 05051, 2012
ianmcorvidae
usually the shorter name is the standard, that didn't help :P
2012-02-19 05057, 2012
derwin
yeah, heh!
2012-02-19 05011, 2012
derwin
ok. I think I grok now.
2012-02-19 05011, 2012
kepstin-laptop
derwin: the capitalization of that seems wrong, shouldn't it be "Stazma the Junglechrist" ?
2012-02-19 05019, 2012
derwin
kepstin-laptop: you probably are correct
2012-02-19 05018, 2012
derwin
this doc says
2012-02-19 05019, 2012
derwin
" Automatically scan all new files: Check this box if you want Picard to scan each music file you add and look for a PUID. This takes time, but may be helpful for you and MusicBrainz. "
2012-02-19 05023, 2012
derwin
still current ?
2012-02-19 05034, 2012
kepstin-laptop
derwin: well, it'll use acoustids now if you have them enabled
2012-02-19 05038, 2012
kepstin-laptop
but otherwise, yes
2012-02-19 05023, 2012
derwin
I guess I don't have wiki perms
2012-02-19 05032, 2012
derwin
was going to replace with " AcoustID "
2012-02-19 05003, 2012
ianmcorvidae
derwin: you should be able to edit it, hm
2012-02-19 05006, 2012
ianmcorvidae
which page is this?
2012-02-19 05031, 2012
derwin
ianmcorvidae: sec
2012-02-19 05037, 2012
ianmcorvidae
ah, nvm, I found the page
2012-02-19 05041, 2012
ianmcorvidae
want me to just fix it?
2012-02-19 05051, 2012
kepstin-laptop
probably changing it to talk about fingerprints in general rather than a specific implementation would be better
kepstin-laptop: do you know how picard canonicalizes? does the webservice give you both "artistcredit" and "artistname" ?
2012-02-19 05047, 2012
derwin
or is that two /ws requests?
2012-02-19 05001, 2012
ianmcorvidae
it probably includes the artist request
2012-02-19 05003, 2012
ianmcorvidae
which will give the name
2012-02-19 05014, 2012
derwin
ah, I see, there's a release request then and artist request, in general
2012-02-19 05017, 2012
derwin
which makes sense, ok.
2012-02-19 05019, 2012
kepstin-laptop
the webservice includes some artist info along with the artist credit
2012-02-19 05020, 2012
ianmcorvidae
no, I mean
2012-02-19 05038, 2012
kepstin-laptop
with inc=artist-credits+artists, at least.
2012-02-19 05017, 2012
kepstin-laptop
(note that the webservice doesn't give you the artist field as flat text - the client has to put it together from the list of credited artists and join phrases)
2012-02-19 05025, 2012
derwin
yeah..
2012-02-19 05054, 2012
derwin
so an artist "credit" is how the artist is performing on a given release. if he is using a name variation, that is an "artist alias"
