It's explicitly a promotional copy. It's a cardboard sleeve, rather than whatever the official was in, and says "Promotional Copy" on the back.

ianmcorvidae
hm, okay
2012-01-31 03113, 2012
ianmcorvidae
makes sense as a separate release then; I might still just say put the same date as the official one though
2012-01-31 03135, 2012
ianmcorvidae
unless it was a promotion associated with a specific event or publication

Alright.
2012-01-31 03115, 2012
ianmcorvidae
yeah
2012-01-31 03149, 2012
ianmcorvidae
I'd say put the date of whatever thing it's promotional in relation to -- so if it was handed out at an event or with a magazine, that; otherwise, it was probably just alongside the main release, which says same date to me

(condensing my previous thoughts)
2012-01-31 03159, 2012
ianmcorvidae
also, please add an annotation explaining why this is a separate release, so future editors don't wonder as I did why it's separated :P

Yeesh, what do you want from me? Good data? :P

Hmm, the work "Alice in My Fantasies" appears to have two ISWCs. I think this may be because one of the composers had his mother's name appear, due to contractual reasons. His mother's name appears under one ISWC and his own under another. How can I add both to one work? "ISWC / ISWC"?
of course, on twitter they're talking about some sort of wrestling thing.

ianmcorvidae
haha
2012-01-31 03132, 2012
ianmcorvidae
it is a recent release, it could totally be the album, right? ;)
2012-01-31 03156, 2012
kepstin-laptop
I was confused for a bit there, had to actually click the trending link to see what was up :)
2012-01-31 03111, 2012
kepstin-laptop
but yeah, I'm not really that sure about how much work I'm going to put into an alternate UI for riker
2012-01-31 03128, 2012
ianmcorvidae
yeah, I'm mostly kidding
2012-01-31 03132, 2012
kepstin-laptop
my plan is to put all of the database code into a shared library, and build the player on that
2012-01-31 03146, 2012
ianmcorvidae
if the program is well-made I won't really care that much about the interface
2012-01-31 03151, 2012
kepstin-laptop
but I probably will only build one player, and it's most likely going to be a gtk+3 gui.
2012-01-31 03102, 2012
ianmcorvidae
while I prefer ncurses, as some do, it's mostly because I tend to prefer the UI in ncurses apps :)
2012-01-31 03128, 2012
kepstin-laptop
the UI design for this is going to be /really/ tricky.
2012-01-31 03146, 2012
kepstin-laptop
because I want to present the links between everything in a usable manner
2012-01-31 03153, 2012
ianmcorvidae
yeah
2012-01-31 03115, 2012

I keep almost trying to implement some sort of cool network-graph-visualization thing on the MB site using arbor.js but I come against that problem
2012-01-31 03136, 2012
kepstin-laptop
at least I know what one feature I want is going to look like: you'll be able to make 'dynamic playlists' using a query syntax like the musicbrainz.org advanced search. :)
you planning to integrate some sort of search library? that would be the quickest way to process that sort of syntax
2012-01-31 03100, 2012
ianmcorvidae
(probably)
2012-01-31 03127, 2012
kepstin-laptop
I was gonna see how much I could do with sqlite's integrated full-text search, but I might end up needing something fancier.
2012-01-31 03101, 2012

kepstin-laptop: Do you have a feature wishlist?
2012-01-31 03119, 2012
kepstin-laptop
jacobbrett: not really. I should make one... hmm.
2012-01-31 03131, 2012
ianmcorvidae
isn't riker on github?
2012-01-31 03137, 2012
ianmcorvidae
use their issues system, perhaps
2012-01-31 03144, 2012
kepstin-laptop
yeah, that could work
2012-01-31 03125, 2012
jacobbrett
I think it'd be cool if Riker detected all of your MB-tagged music and downloaded all relevant info into a local DB (all of the relationships etc.)--could make some pretty rich smart-playlists.
2012-01-31 03138, 2012
kepstin-laptop
jacobbrett: that's exactly what it's going to do.
2012-01-31 03139, 2012
ianmcorvidae
I think that's the plan
2012-01-31 03158, 2012
kepstin-laptop
(in fact, I might not even support music that's not MB-tagged ;)
2012-01-31 03159, 2012
ianmcorvidae
heh, that's Riker's core selling point, pretty sure :P
2012-01-31 03159, 2012
jacobbrett
Ah, great..I recall talking about something like that to someone on IRCa while ago.
