hi

is there any way to tell picard not to populate the sort artist, sort album and sort album artist fields?

$unset(artistsort) $unset(albumartistsort)

in Options -> Advaced -> Scripting

that's it :D

thanks a lot

whoa

oh, wrong channel

OK

What is going on here?>

?

Let

Lets talk music here.

What are you guys doing?

Wake up from your sleep folks.

Guitar Center has a great sale this weekend.

I'm mostly wondering if anyone else thinks we should merge nippon columbia and columbia music entertainment

ooh

I have no idea, then :)

damn :)

they changed from nippon columbia to cme in 2002 and back to nippon columbia last year, so I'm wondering if it would be better to just merge them and explain in the annotation

because all the other cases I know of where we split based on name are just a mess

ah, what am I talking about. labels in general are a mess :P

it'd help if we knew what we were trying to do

yeah.

do we have label-label ARs?

yes

hm

I've been wondering the same sorts of things w/r/t labels in general. Is it useful to have Sanctuary UK and Sanctuary US if having both leads to more misfiled releases?

it's certainly not the only case I know of

But if you merge Nippon Columbia w/ CME, somebody will add it again next week.

nikki: I would keep the labels as they appear on the cd case (for the reason caller_6 just mentioned).

we need label credits :)

I'm not sure they would, people just pick whatever looks close enough

"nippon columbia" and "columbia music entertainment" do not look close.

like half of the stuff under emi music japan is from before they ever used that name, sony music entertainment and sony bmg music entertainment have the same problem (when most the releases I have just say "sony music" :P)

warp: well, http://columbia.jp/company/images/logo.gif is nippon columbia's logo

nikki: haha, ok

>_<

Speaking of "messes", what ever happened to Cleanup of the Month? All we need is a handful of teleguise clones and your Sony problems will be fixed.

caller_6: well, if you want to organise one, feel free ;)

I guess the people who tended to organise them got busy with other stuff

I think CatCat was the last person to organize CotMs ?

Maybe the theory that "if it's cleaned up, it'll be easier to keep clean" didn't hold up.

hmm

judging by the wiki page, most of the previous ones were for a specific artist

so I guess people were probably not too interested

I like how osm do their project of the week things

(they pick something, say libraries, and then people go add libraries to the map in their area)

osm?

openstreetmap

our equivalents would be more like "add track times", "add amazon links" or something

Having a little bit of structure /does/ tend to keep me focused.

(that might be a tautology)

(as well as a fugly mixed-metaphor)

yay ssl working

(out of date but interesting, and some of it is, um, timeless)
