Is it necessary to add ltd, inc and so on to the label name?

Normally not

NordSig: we usually use the label name as it's shown in the logotype.

What about record studio?

We don't store those at the moment

But you could add the info in the annotation

(press "Add annotation" in the sidebar of the release page :) )

Thanks

nikki: I was adding a standalone recording. Guess where I wrote the name?

There is one more question.

in the comment? :P

of course! :/

Probably a)

heh

there's a reason I didn't use recorder :P

I have PUIDs in file

*files

Obtained by genpuid

How must I add them to MB?

NordSig: when you load the files in musicbrainz picard, a button on the toolbar "submit puids" will light up. Press that.

They were recognized and button is grey.

Does it mean that PUIDs already submitted?

NordSig: maybe. There are several reasons why that won't work.

But they aren't showed in PUID tab.

at MB

If you drag the files into the left side of the window and press the "Scan" button, it will try again to detect the PUIDs.

We don't run the PUID server, and it is sometimes very slow. You might just have to wait before it will work.

(It could be a long time)

It could be days or weeks.

I pressed scan, but submit is still grey.

All right!

It worked out after clicking recognize.

PUIDs were associated.

The last question.

Songs' lengths are ought to be entered manually?

NordSig: if you submit the Disc ID in Picard, the track titles will be updated automatically

(The update runs once per day, if the times aren't showing up yet, just wait.)

I have not hard copy CD now :(

NordSig: then yes, you will have to manually enter the song lengths.

Ok.

Thanks for help. Good-bye.

NordSig: no problem. Come back again if you have more trouble!

anyone from portugal here?

Not a language issue, so Brazilian is not specially useful

yay, another fish trophy

?

aww

Anyway, davitf: I'm not sure what "electronic drum set" is

it's my second one...supposedly warp doesn't have any :P

people not in -devel: I just asked this there by accident

But I've seen people who play live drums with patches on them and if they hit those patches pre-programmed stuff plays

a credit I'm adding says "drum programming"; which instrument should I use? http://musicbrainz.org/admin/linkattributetype/...

it's studio, the credits also have keyboard and piano programming

and synth

I'm wondering if it gives one for 1337

maybe I should wait and find out :P

:P

but maybe not, this one has the stuff with the button for standalone recordings

tough call

break up the review into six smaller chunks ;)

I think it's actually 9 tickets

but they're all like 2 or 3 lines each

nikki: http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/312f80d1-6...

I thought the cover had it all lowercase?

'cause it could just as well be german-style quotes :P

nikki: well, the cover is visible on each release

hm?

bitmap: (sorry for bugging, but) did you figure out why those strings are not translatable?

nikki: the cover art on return to central...all releases have it. Not sure about german-style quotes though

I mean that you left central capitalised when the cover has it lowercase

Ah, whoops

v6lur: I have http://codereview.musicbrainz.org/r/1331/ open which will make the pending files thing (and more release formats) translatable, but luks will still have to update/sync everything on LP

I might be able to do that too, but I trust him more with it :)

nikki: what was that about german-style quotes then, with the right quote?

bitmap: thank you :)

german-style quotes are „foo“

Ah. Doesn't look like that to me.

it doesn't look like either of them to me :P

either of which?

“ or ”

Looks more like ” to me

there is a slight angle to them

because it's in italics? :P

possible

unless they're actually german

german quotes are lower 99 and then upper 66 ?

yep

but it's not a german release, and those aren't standard english quotes, so who knows which one it is

who would have guessed a robbie williams track appearing on a playstation soccer game CD?

that doesn't seem that surprising to me :P

yay, I successfully merged bitmap's latest changes to his release relationships script

that one actually touched some code I modified :/

hmm. wait, something broke. Now I'm not getting track ranges any more :(

but it parses, right?

but my code for the track ranges is identical...

that's what's really important

ship it!

sorry about that :/ some of the changes I made didn't even fix anything, they were just to simplify the code a bit

"(tracks 1 2 3 4 5 6)" is much less cool than "(tracks 1-6)" :(

huh, and in some places it's downright broken

does it still work without your changes?

'cause perhaps he broke it in your browser

my changes aren't relevant, just some html formatting for a table.

works fine in all the browsers I have installed still

I changed the names of a few variables, perhaps a few of them didn't get replaced when you merged things

ok, apparently my changes are relevant :)

aha, found it. yeah, you renamed "tracks" to "str" in two lines that I'd changed the formatting in.

all better :)

oops, so I made the variable name even more vague :P

http://www.kepstin.ca/dump/bitmap-mb-relation.png :)

nikki: that release has lyricist both on works and as a release ar.

and why? :P

ah, so it doesn't show pending edits?

nope; i dunno if pending edits are exposed in the webservice.

I guess that'd be too hard without it being part of the server

bitmap: it does use the webservice, right?

no, unfortunately

kepstin: yes

http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/405600/ is my latest version with the fancy table at the bottom, if anyone's curious.

bitmap: would it be possible to order the relationships by entities first? (so that all the artist-* relationships are first, followed by things like recording-recording and recording-work)

hmm. it's a pretty simplistic parser right now, it's just grabbing all of the <relation> elements in the webservice reply and putting them into one list.

ah

it looks like it would certainly be possible; might not even be that hard.

someone remind me not to leave screenshots of my web browser open in my web browser. It confuses me when I try to use the page, and it doesn't work :)

I do that XD

even if it someone else's screenshot...

heh

lol

hmm. bitmap's script doesn't do the fancy instrument combining like the real relationships page: you get separate "acoustic guitar", "electric guitar", etc. entries instead of "acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano and synthesizer"
