I thought it was only merged into beta

nikki: :) ty

Freso: ah, it looks like it's fetching the en link from the de page rather than just using the en link directly

LordSputnik: not sure what it means by "Noneing albums" either

nikki: oh, it sets all the albums in the list of processed albums to None every pass, so that songs don't get tagged again

(it does one pass for every thousand songs in your library, to save memory)

ah

what's the difference between audio engineer and sound engineer?

nikki: I never used your wikipedia script.

nikki: And I'm seeing it on beta, I just have a habit of removing the beta. :|

ah

nikki: But that makes sense. I guess the .de WP should be fixed then. (But, also our code.)

Anyone familiar with Crazy Frog? In this booklet, "Jinglebell" has "(Reinhard Reith/Henning Reith/Wolfgang Boss)" for its credits, but it's clearly the "traditional" Jingle Bells they've covered.

Should I create a new "Crazy Frog" work, or should I just make a cover recording AR to the existing work?

alos i was pinged, what edit?

we usually put latin in sortnames

hope

the alais can also have a sortname so that for a japanese person using the hiragana a i u e o sort order woudl work

also あ is "a" anything that starts with あ is thne that

か is ka

so kakaro and kari and knami etc

kanami*

i add a johnny cash compilation here...and two tracks say "with june carter cash"

the japanese alias can have sortname

how should i do it correctly?

xsteadfastx: use artist credits

Yeah, you just use two artists for that specific track artist

with a "&" as join phrase?

I'd just use "with"

If that's what it says...

on the cd its "with"

so i use it

Yep :)

its so good that i can ask here...that makes everything better

some tracks are live but they are not labelled as live on the tracklist...should i add a (live) behind the tracks?

i'd say no, but add a "live" disambiguation to the recordings

Yeah

and then link them as a live recording of some work

What he said :)

reosarevok: not going to capitalize it? :P

¬¬

:D

no noez...i caught an exception error ;-)

xsteadfastx: catch Exception is good though.

nikki: D: reading binary files in python is horrible

nikki: but I've managed to possibly do enough of it to embed cover art

nikki: so that'll probably be something to try out in the next test :)

http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/799ee99e-cb... — the last track, anyone know what work that is? It doesn’t show up in parts of http://beta.musicbrainz.org/work/fbee5b3a-84f9-...

ListMyCDs: Any idea?

Is that the overture maybe?

work is "Stormen, Suite No. 1, Op. 109, No. 2: IX. Der Sturm"

We added the same release: http://musicbrainz.org/release/9b01797f-1018-41...

Heh, I will cancel

should have guessed you will add it

I commented to that effect, but not quickly enough I guess.

All good.

Would like to narrow down those dates (I’m sure the symphony was on 2-6/7 and the suite was on 2-10/11, or the other way ’round.

)

I hate it when they give dates like that. Still can't be totally sure if first date is for first work on CD. Often it's like that.

Yep

ah, I missed the IX part — stupid roman numerals

wow. the mutagen docs/design/almost everything is really bad :P

hi there maybe style dudes nikki and/or reosarevok could remember why the "feat." hack style guideline ? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/19811391

and is still really necessary now and why ?

(i edit the tracklist, not the recordings btw)

(take your time, I read the chatlogs) ;)

jesus2099: I think it’s just for consistency and a short join phrase. It’s definitely not for CSG (But CSG is official now)

jesus2099: it's a compromise between people who wanted to keep the old behaviour and people who want the artists in the artist credits. by standardising the spelling of "feat." it lets people automatically move it back to the title if the ywant

I hope whoever half-ass guessed the RV numbers on this release: http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/84d2f800-b2... didn’t do such a bad job with the rest of the “Chill with” releases.

That’d be monxton I guess.

jesus2099: It's also normalized for the fact that many relases with featured artists are inconsistent with the crediting of the featured artist within the same release as well (cover, back cover, medium, booklet)

would be nice if there was somewhere to report CAA outages (3 hours now)

hi peeps

'lo peep

given the text "(c) 2012 Oceanic Music Ltd in association with EMI label services", should I add both?

neither of the "oceanic records" int he database seem to be the right one

As label?

Based on that text, neither.

You should use the imprint on the cover.

imprint?

the logos?

Yeah.
