I've been using the mb lookup in Amarok, but lately I've noticed that it appears to be using extant ID3 data as part of how it searches for results. Is this Musicbrainz behaviour or Amarok somehow?

Wyatt: it could only be

Wyatt: it could only be Amarok (sorry, hit enter too quickly there)

the audio file's not being sent to MB, only whatever gets extracted from it by amarok :)

Well, yeah... I'm just trying to verify that musicbrainz exclusively uses the MBID and nothing else.

no, it uses whatever it's sent -- it's possible to send it search queries and such things too

Got it.

yes -- but if id3 tags are being used, that's amarok choosing to use them

Right, this is a bug for the API consumer (amarok).

Wyatt: if you are using amarok, you might want to look at beets for tagging your stuff

because you can use it from a commandline and then you will have your collection related to musicbrainz in the tags..

derwin: I tried running that at one point but it was bailing on something (don't remember what). Does beets cope well with unicode?

Wyatt: I have used it to tag touhou music, so yeah

derwin: That's a pretty good endorsement, I'll admit. I'll see about giving it another shot, I suppose.

also the author is very helpful

and it has come a long way

it is why I have done so many musicbrainz submission

because I can tag my stuff on the server, etc..

Yeah, it's been about half a year since I looked at it, I think.

Hm. If picard does not find the songs via scan, but via lookup. How can I supply that scan information back to musicbrainz? The "Submit"-brain-button is greyed out :/

lilleman: try dragging the songs from the right side to the left and back again? that for some reason will sometimes trigger the submit button

it also depends if you have an API key configured for acoustid

(assuming that's what you're using)

without one it can't submit them, only use them to scan

(if you aren't using acoustid -- start, PUIDs are terrible :P)

wtf, it seems like picard is sometimes saving tags in %musicbrainz_albumid% and sometimes in %musicbrainz album id%

ok that's idv3 / flac

nvm :s

Could someone point me to the editing doc about real names vs. performance names?

assuming I don't find it first in the next few minutes...

Looks like http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Same_Artist_With_Di... is it. Now I just need to pick the specific one.

One way per village apparently.

Ever helpful, youtube is suggesting that what I really want to hear is Der Kommissar.

if a group consists of members from different countries -> worldwide or just nothing?

I'd just leave it blank

k,ty .)

Pfft

380+ open edits pretty much all merging Mozart works

And still no end in sight

anyone might approve this or vote yes ? thanks :)

Any recommendations on how to enter a 'Foo & Chorus' vocal credit?

noobie: not really

why not reosarevok?

Because you didn't post a link :p

lol

:d

thanks reosarevok :)

Wow I feel like a noob. I've just added a release and can't figure out how to create works for the recordings I just created.

Do I really have to create them one by one?

Unless you install an userscript, yes

Which userscript can you recommend?

Is the one (I guess) everyone uses

Oh that is nice. Seems I've jumped on the bandwagon quite late.

Is there a userscript for bulk adding relationships to works?

the general rules seems to be "install bitmap's scripts" :P

rule*

hi peoplettes

all my music has been nicely tagged, moved, renamed by picard

is there an easy way (linux ideall or built into picard) to extract particular tags to create artist playlists?

with every song they were involved in

navap, yes

But not to works in a release

ianmcorvidae, that one's kovacsur's ;)

navap: Regarding script 128593, be warned that any ISWC code entered will be silently ignored, because of MBS-4727.

If you want to enter ISWC, that is.

Maybe Freso recognizes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejIwvssLxnM ?
