where is hosts on os x?

it's /etc/hosts

.. i need ot know what "etc" is ë_ë

that's the filename

.. -i know of no root/etc/hosts folder?

Maybe that helps?

ialso want to block anything wich has even the name "facebook" in it. like these evindelike like buttons everywhere

AH! thanks reo§ yes that helps

too bad adding an ISRC is an autoedit, i don't think i could ever write a script for this that i could trust 100%

is there any way to force an add ISRC edit to a vote?

nope

darn :(

ianweller: while that restricts it much more, you could tell it to check it against one of the ISRC databases

reosarevok: such as?

http://www.scpp.fr/SCPP/Accueil/REPERTOIRE/Cata... and http://www.minc.gr.jp/db/

does scpp have anything from outside FR?

Yeah

More than you'd expect

(but not soooo much to be a really great source)

buh

python-musicbrainz-ngs's submit_isrcs function doesn't return anything worthwhile, like an edit number, and i can't add an edit note with that functino either

oh well!

well, the webservice doesn't support that

annoyingly :(

I was going back and doing them all manually, but that's way too much work

CatCat, reosarevok: i really do not like it to have many links to a closed site like spotify/facenook. it really sounds useless on MB for me :/ http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17435011

Ignore them?

That's what I do with all the stuff I can't open (+ myspace, which I just *won't* open if I can help it)

ignore them ok but should not we just unallow closed links? what's the point with closed links? myspace are open links

It's not closed if you can just register and access them

(admittedly, Spotify is on the fence since there's a limit for free listening IIRC - but that's still useful for people who use it and doesn't hurt those who don't)

it is closed to non facebook users

I think our main guiding principle is utility, and unfortunately lots of people still use facebook

i call it close when you cannot access without creating accounts

and most official youtube channels are closed to germany, let's remove all of those :P

in general I agree that we shouldn't be supporting terrible walled-garden bullshit, but I do think we should link things that are useful

Accounts are free - it's not like you need to give them any real info or anything

oh, and let's not link to any shops that require credit cards, those are closed to everyone without one :P

dang, my script made it through 248 releases (and added about 20 releases worth of ISRCs) before it crashed on something stupid

You say it as if it was bad

20 releases is pretty OK :p

That's probably what we get in one day from all other sources or something

nah, it's good

i just wonder how it made it through that many things before crashing because a release didn't have timestamps in musicbrainz
