Hmmm

MClemo: you can right-click on a track and view details to see what tag names it's using

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgY8AOsmf5o go to 0:54 Would you use "Hotel" or "Hotel (5 unicode stars)" for the track title?

hmm. my youtube player is broken atm, and i get sound but no video. fun.

reosarevok: if it was a japanese track, i'd call it "Hotel ☆☆☆☆☆" or whatever :)

Sounds sensible to me

MClemo: click on a tag in the details dialog box and click edit at the bottom to see the actual tag name

kepstin-laptop: thanks. Seems to be "discnumber" and "totaldiscs"

oh god, now I have to touch my file naming scheme again

I use $if2(%albumartist%,%artist%) - %album%/$if(%discnumber%,%discnumber%-)$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %artist% - %title%

:)

that first if is probably useless, given that I'm pretty sure it always sets albumartist.

I think we'll have to make at least one of the example tracks in picard off of a multi-disc release.

yes, and the new default value should probably include something like %discnumber%

MClemo: agreed

there is a ticket about that

can't decide if the default format should include the disc number should be in the folder name or the file name

s/should be//

I have it in folder name but there are probably many that like it in the file name

and I guess either works

you can see my preference ^^ :)

I think the file name would be better for the default

I'd say 50 folders with songs in them are easier to manage than a ridiculously huge folder with 500 songs or so

any idea what does iTunes do?

I've managed to avoid importing releases into itunes so far, so I don't know what itunes does :)

hmm, that reminds me, I was gonna try rockbox on my ipod sometime soon

Hmm

I'm late to the part, but here's my naming scheme: $ascii([_%series%/][%seriesnumber% ]%album artist% - $left($replace($if($and($strcmp($right(%album%,1),')'),$strstr(%album%,'feat.')),$trim($left(%album%,$sub($strrchr(%album%,'('),1))),%album%),%series%,$upper($abbr(%series%))),70)/[$ifgreater(%totaldiscs%,1,%discnumber%-,)]%tracknumber% [%track artist% - ]$left(%title%,70))

*party

http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=13371 sems to suggest it's the file name

I think that's a good default behavior

1-01 for multi-disc albums, 01 for single-disc

all files in the same folder

huh. did someone just break the server, or did my browser just break (i'm betting on the second)

The server seems to work

yeah, looks like something weird happened to a file in my browser cache

anyways, I wonder if there's a good way to do an artist credit for http://musicbrainz.org/artist/480d055d-1fdc-4b3...

as an explanation,

man, jesus2099 has 209 open edits?

I'm not really in the mood to go through that :(

hmm. looks like it's mostly pseudorelease merges and cleanups

I love how http://musicbrainz.org/recording/66eed338-c571-... - the "Unreleased version" can be found on a release :)

anyways, I'm off to a bunch of different birthday parties which may include my own, see you all later.

Hi guise

I imagine nobody here happens to have IE7, right?

(you can admit it, I'm not asking if it is your default browser :) )

haha

http://musicbrainz.org/release/2a7b66cb-e1ef-4c... ← “&” in track 2 22

is that a known bug?

yes

I can't wait until Monday comes and that gets fixed

ok :)

So we won't have the same question 5 times per day :)

ah, sorry, just got confused when my edit had & ;-)

no problem :)

http://musicbrainz.org/release/7ddc5272-79e5-44... btw ;)

go Canucks!
