Humm.. I have a song that I've written metadata to with picard, of type wma, but mutagen-inspect can't inspect it.... and yet picard uses mutagen?

What's up with that?

nano-: picard itself can read it?

yeah

old version of mutagen perhaps?

mutagen had a bug regarding saving cover art
2012-01-23 02310, 2012
nano-
it didn't contain coverart when that got printed though, but now i added the coverart plugin to picard and now it has coverart, still same error message though.

hm, now that I think about it, this might be a different issue

I remember mutagen-inspect having problem with printing the binary tags in wma

I think it had a binary tag before, think WM/MCDI is binary.

I think I watched a MBID switch by chance last week or so
2012-01-23 02300, 2012
hrglgrmpf
but I'm not sure, and I can't research it quite well
murdos: Are there all that many cases of different recordings with the same ISRC?
2012-01-23 02352, 2012
hawke_
murdos: (as in, in MB)
2012-01-23 02316, 2012
murdos
hawke_: more than 2000
2012-01-23 02308, 2012
hawke_
Does that mean “at least 2000, but the number is unknown? or “not much more than 2000, but the precise number is unknown”?

wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem I running into on setting up musicbrainz server
2012-01-23 02315, 2012

hawke_: it means I don't have the exact number in front of me
2012-01-23 02324, 2012
hawke_
But somewhere around that?
2012-01-23 02321, 2012
murdos
hawke_: I think it was more around 3000, but my query is still not perfect and doesn't put aside recordings with multiple ISRCs
2012-01-23 02344, 2012
murdos
so the exact number of recordings to be merged is not yet determined ;-)
2012-01-23 02303, 2012
hawke_
It’s a relatively small number though, considering the number of recordings in MB
2012-01-23 02344, 2012
murdos
a lot of merging has already been done
2012-01-23 02355, 2012
murdos
(based on ISRC I mean)

hawke_: however I think there's a need for frequent merging based on ISRC.
2012-01-23 02300, 2012
murdos
e.g. when I add a new release, I add new recordings by default, then add ISRCs. So I'm sure to not misuse one recording. But then some merging is needed.
2012-01-23 02314, 2012

I think there’s a need for frequent merging, period. :-p
2012-01-23 02330, 2012

For essentially the same reason you gave

It’s unfortunate that such merging is a gigantic pain
2012-01-23 02319, 2012

I just had to do that on (almost) the entire works of Jonathan Coulton, about 175 tracks
2012-01-23 02338, 2012
murdos
do you think automatic merging based on acoustid can be safe?
2012-01-23 02348, 2012
hawke_
Not currently, and in general no.
2012-01-23 02308, 2012
kovacsur
it usually gives remasters the same acoustid as the originals
2012-01-23 02327, 2012
hawke_
That, and there are too many recordings with wrong acoustIDs.
2012-01-23 02354, 2012
murdos
any ideas where this incorrect acoustIDs come from? is it because they were added based on an existing wrong recording-PUID mapping?
2012-01-23 02304, 2012
hawke_
I believe so.
2012-01-23 02328, 2012
hawke_
Many of them are easily detected by having completely wrong durations
murdos: Something else to consider with regard to acoustID/recordings/remasters, is how difficult it is to copy a existing release’s tracklist without copying the recordings too, when adding a remaster album
