Tampermonkey is a piece of crap.

(wo)man alive here?

hi reotab

Just on time :D

I have a question about adding an instrumental release of a previously existing (vocal) release

is it considered bad form to copy the previous release, and just append an (instrumental) to everything?

or is that exactly what I should do?

huh

As long as you change the recordings...

well

I'd be making new recordings

I'll search first, but I'm sure I'll be making new recordings

oh, I see what you mean

I wasn't so much concerned about "copying the previous release" as much as I was the: "Title (instrumental)" "Title 2 (instrumental)"

Yeah, if you load the original release it will come with the recordings by default

About the instrumental, is that on the cover?

well

I would love to answer that if I could actually find the release.

and not just a bunch of torrent links :/.

I mean, if it is called "Whatever: The Instrumentals", it might not make sense to add it to every track too

and karaoke links.

for all I know this is an unbranded unstyled promo release.

As long as you know it *is* a release...

:/

well, I have it. it's not fake

Yeah, I guess in the worst case it is a bootleg

would still be nice to find something about it

So it is probably OK to add it (just leave the status unset maybe)

And then yeah, I guess adding (instrumental) won't hurt

I think I would rather add it to the release title, and not muck up the track titles with it

You might want to set it to low quality after adding, though, for marking it as dubious info

Oh, that also sounds OK

can you do that on a release level? I've only ever seen it on artists.

Actually, there's no quality on artists anymore in NGS, only on releases :)

huh

didn't even notice

I don't know what the reason for the change was but as I had seen more people using it wrong than right for artists I guess I won't care :p

you know what else really hurts?

My release varies by *1* track.

I have an instrumental that doesn't.

heh

Then I guess you can follow that for the rest of the titles at least

Oh, wait, that's not the same as before, or is it? :)

not the same as before

Ok

wtf

Google doesn't want to work

Someone google 4742218001009 for me and tell me what comes up please

(unable to resolve DNS my ass, you crappy connection)

Your search - 4742218001009 - did not match any documents.

ok

Thanks

stealing credit cards again, reotab?

VxJasonxV, shhh

They don't need to know

No, I have this shop which only stores EANs as... the URL for the cover image

But I'm not sure if they're always using the actual EAN for that

So I only add them if I can find them confirmed somewhere else

Oh, in case this interests somebody here: http://rbma.bandcamp.com/album/various-assets-n...

reosarevok, I was considering adding it months ago..the tab is still sitting in a Firefox container :P

Months ago? It says "released 27 February 2012"...

(unless that's just the date of bandcamp upload that is)

Whoops, I mean the 2010 edition

Someone added that it seems http://musicbrainz.org/release/f6abcfc8-3e81-45...

(the CD version at least)

hmm, any idea why http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16605713 could have failed? there are no changes to the tracklist in http://musicbrainz.org/release/200222f4-51bf-41... :/

:/

No idea

Mineo: Could is have anything to do with that bonus track which didn't have an existing recording? (perhaps the newly created recording messed things up?)

jacobbrett: I'm pretty sure that's not the cause - the add medium edit was closed one day before 16605713 was opened

Hi

Hi

Hi reosarevok

is it already possible to add composer information and a other stuff to a work?

It is possible, yes - it's just not possible to add it all at once from the release page, only from the work page

asked it a while ago but then it was difficult to do

Oh, yeah

Still difficult

okay

:8

*:(

There is http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121723 but I think there was that already last time you asked?

Not sure

hmm, when will this be implemented?

owh

yes there was something with a script

you have to use it with chrome

Chrome / Firefox / Opera

But I guess Firefox needs Greasemonkey

ah okay

And I would *love* to know that myself :p

(due date was last month :( )

okay thanks so far!

"It is pitch black. You are likely to eat someone..."

I hate regex's - select regexp_replace( '/Root/Subdir/Subdir.1/File.ext', '.*\/', '' ); returns the file name, how can I get the path without the filename?

possibly '\/.*$'

hm, no

select regexp_matches( '/Root/Subdir/Subdir.1/File.ext', '.*\/' ); Seems to work

that should also work, yes

I get the trailing / but that may be a good thing

if you do replace with mine sans the \/ at the beginning you'll get the /

do you need to escape the slash?

probably not, I guess

I didn't in the []

the delimiters are quotes, after all

ianmcorvidae, Yep. YOurs wins ;-)

Stiil getting the hang of postgres. Been using MySQL for years, but it makes sense to integrate my db with the MB one

Love the triggers

Aw, dead :(

just got a delivery notification from one of our partners with the link to musicbrainz :-) niice

hi, what AR do you think I should use for "rapping on guitar" ? ^^

depends on what thye mean, I'd probably just say played guitar, if that's what they mean by "rapping" - but if they mean something like "vocal via guitar" - then I ahve no clue how they would have done that

yes, it's "tapping" on the guitar
