Yeah

But I assume I'll have to go back and tag all the releases again? Or can I just tag the artist and be done with it?

You can tag artists too, but I’m not sure if Picard will use the artist tags

I think it doesn’t.

hawke_1: isn't there some easy way to read tags and submit them via ws?

I know the MB Android app submits tags via ws, so it's clearly possible

what is webservice?

the website?

reosarevok: It’s possible, dunno about 'easy'

it's relatively easy if you have a good way to interact with the webservice, I guess

It could be useful if someone developed an easy way to do this maybe?

(as we keep complaining that there are not enough users setting tags :P)

reosarevok: Yet another thing that would be great in a MB-enabled player, or a plugin for another player

Yeah, I was just going to ask about that.. how do you access the webservice?

goddammit what a mess http://musicbrainz.org/recording/186dbb80-2221-...

It looks like I have to create a program that does it or install some other language

SultS: doesn't look like a total mess?

Just one wrong recording, right?

Should be an easy fix

well it’s higjacked by wrong song

high*

kyomi: yep, you do.

Well, technically, just one correct one :p

bah... thats more work then just creating a java program to do it here

I guess it’s easier to create new one to the original

but yeah, it would be more work than just doing it for yourself. :-)

kyomi, https://github.com/jdamcd/musicbrainz-android

I'll let that be for now

though if you wrote a tool that everyone could use… ;-)

That should have a way to submit them

So if you can reuse that code

just make my own java program that takes the folder the artist is in and sets the genre tag to that

Maybe you can only do the half that reads them

Actually, I'm fairly sure there's a program which does that where you could take code from too, heh

Because thats all I really want

(and just merge the two things)

SultS: it's definitely easier

Although it's not really *that many* fixes to be done

SultS: especially if you use the script that lets you just give it an MBID in the recordings page

reosarevok: hmm.. true

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/112431 in case you don't have it

I’m out, ttyl

Bye!

I might try it

brain food needs to stop d/cing :p

Has anyone ever created a torrent for MusicBrainz NGS 2011-07-20.ova ?

what is it?

The virtual machine?

A data dump?

Yes

the VM

Oh, I doubt it

But not sure

theres a MB VM?

There is

thats... umm.. odd..

kyomi, http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Server_Setup

I guess they'll make a new one after the schema change next week though

reosarevok, actually using MBID doesn’t help much, because I would be either selecting some random recording for that song, or create for each of them a new recording

SultS, that messup is apparently the product of this merge: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/15459208

SultS, just create one recording for all of them?

I mean

One recording

Just seems to me that a torrent would help save a bit of bandwidth

isn't that i"p"config?

And then use that for all the rest

reosarevok, that’s not an autoedit for me :P

Doesn't have to be

Add it as a standalone recording first

ah

That gives you a MBID automatically

good idea

kyomi: ipconfig is the one on windows

Tagging Dance/trance/electronica is a pain SultS :p

kyomi: I know :P but someone’s gotta do it :P

So what is that? your own personal MB?

kyomi, mostly, yes

Useful if you want to a) develop code for MB

b) avoid rate limiting

Ahh.. and that was my next question

rate limiting?

You can make only a certain amount of calls to MB

(1 per second was it?)

If you run it yourself, you set a limit yourself :p

Munger, are you asking because you're planning to contribute some code?

Or just curious?

Ahh.. thats probably why when I'm debugging my epguides.com program it suddenly stops connecting to the website >.>

Most likely

Pretty much though that... I started making a cache...... started >.>;

reosarevok, A bit of both. I want to have a sniff around the code first to see if I can contribute anything .... I'm not a great fan of perl

Munger, there's a fair share of JS

I still need to find out how threads and progress bars work in java :(

Also, with rika.mb.org you might not even have to download the VM

reosarevok, Good. I've ben brushing up on my html5 too :-)

hmm... rika

the website doesn't exist apparently.. at least not user accessable

http://rika.musicbrainz.org is dead for me

Not yet :)

-sible*

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!

It will be an user machine where people can have their own MB-thing for developing

reosarevok: Ahh.. kinda like the MS virtual labs?

It's still being set up - ianmcorvidae will admin it so ask him for doubts not me :)

still need to finish that to get my server 2008 cert

reosarevok, Sounds good, but I kinda want a local server too. My crappy internet really slows me down

:p

Isn't there a UK mirror for MB? I thought I read somewhere that last.fm were going to host one

I think they did for a while but didn't prove too useful

Main word being "think"

reosarevok, I'm not averse to paying for it. But I would have to move house to get away from this pesky copper wire

Don't use wireless? :)

I still really don't like wireless and would rather a wired connection if at all possible... faster anyway

ghetto village!

>.>;

I don't. We don't get fibre around here until next year. I'm 4 miles from the exchange and only get < 3.5 Mb/s

Well, next year is still better than nothing I guess

It is next year :/

that gives you a year to start liking perl!

:D

I know :P

It was a stretch but it made me giggle ^^;

rhymes with 'plunger'

Still kinda sounds the same :)

yay, wasn’t that hard after all :P http://musicbrainz.org/recording/186dbb80-2221-...

SultS: looks like a middle finger now XD

lol, 2011/12, bots enter in the editing game: http://beta.musicbrainz.org/statistics/timeline...

lol

reosarevok, me?

Theeere, approved

aww, I didn't get to vote

murdos, isn't it AWESOME? ;)

that wasn’t me asking for votes or approvals, as it wasn’t urgent in any way :P

but thanks

Wrong data is always urgent!!!! :D

Umm.. Eisbrecher has the wrong data :D

>.>

:p
