        that’s awesome: we have 2 artists in the database named “R”. One has no comment, the other one has the comment “not same as existing one”
      • 2011-01-10 01008, 2011

      • kepstin

      • 2011-01-10 01040, 2011

      • ddaydj

      • 2011-01-10 01046, 2011

      • nikki
        maybe one is the composer and one is the performer?
      • 2011-01-10 01058, 2011

        oh, that's just great. based on http://lias-cafe.com/descography/lia_descography.… Lia uses “Lia” on her pop songs and “LIA” on her happy-hardcore releases
      • 2011-01-10 01013, 2011

      • kepstin
      • 2011-01-10 01041, 2011

      • ddaydj
        amazon has upc?
      • 2011-01-10 01050, 2011

      • nikki
        only in their webservice
      • 2011-01-10 01051, 2011

      • kepstin
        ddaydj, you need to use their APIs to get it
      • 2011-01-10 01019, 2011

      • ddaydj
        how would i go about doing that?
      • 2011-01-10 01053, 2011

      • kepstin
        nikki, no chance you could make a little web script like your isrc thing for looking up UPCs on amazon? :)
      • 2011-01-10 01059, 2011

      • nikki
        already did :P
      • 2011-01-10 01017, 2011

      • nikki
        it also prints image urls that the webservice returns (useful to know for ngs)
      • 2011-01-10 01002, 2011

      • ddaydj bookmarks.
      • 2011-01-10 01041, 2011

      • ddaydj
        how can i cite those?
      • 2011-01-10 01002, 2011

      • ddaydj
        taken from amazon api?
      • 2011-01-10 01002, 2011

      • kepstin
        ddaydj, after the barcode, it'll print an amazon search link you can use.
      • 2011-01-10 01024, 2011

      • Casper
        btw, the cluster in picard allow you, with the help of a plug in, to quickly add a release
      • 2011-01-10 01001, 2011

      • Casper
        cluster, right click, plug in, add as release. it open your browser with the info all filled based on the actual tag
      • 2011-01-10 01020, 2011

      • ddaydj
        oh~ that could help when doing translations
      • 2011-01-10 01027, 2011

      • kepstin
        I tend to add releases using the CD Toc lookup most of the time, and my encoded flacs and mp3s are completely untagged until I put them in picard
      • 2011-01-10 01035, 2011

      • kepstin
        makes the cluster part not work for me :)
      • 2011-01-10 01042, 2011

      • nikki
        ddaydj: you'll have to merge the release groups by hand though
      • 2011-01-10 01051, 2011

      • ddaydj
        oh :(
      • 2011-01-10 01023, 2011

        it's ok, it's not your fault that the interface is lacking :P
      • 2011-01-10 01027, 2011

      • nikki
        just saying that it's not perfect
      • 2011-01-10 01037, 2011

      • ddaydj
        eh, i'm not adding anything today so i won't worry about it
      • 2011-01-10 01037, 2011

      • Casper
        if the file have the tag, you can add the full cd in a minute, PUIDs included
      • 2011-01-10 01046, 2011

      • ddaydj

        cool :)

      • ddaydj
        yeah, i don't get why other people i talk to are so opposed to musicbrainz :/
      • 2011-01-10 01034, 2011

      • Casper
        sadly, I have lots of songs that is single out of the cd, and ain't in mb database :(

        i think i went 2 years before i started editing
      • 2011-01-10 01032, 2011

      • ddaydj
        but it just makes more sense now if i'm going to tag stuff to put it on there so everyone can benefit
      • 2011-01-10 01042, 2011

      • nikki
        I typically add things before I buy them, so by the time they get here I just have to add the disc id
      • 2011-01-10 01014, 2011

      • kepstin typically adds things through the disc ID, once he has the album art to get additional credits from.

        ^^b
      • 2011-01-10 01030, 2011

      • nikki
        and I use the track parser which most people don't know exists to add stuff by pasting
      • 2011-01-10 01010, 2011

      • ddaydj
        :/ if something on amazon is an import, there a way to tell which site its from?
      • 2011-01-10 01021, 2011

      • ddaydj
        jp site says import from us, us site says import.
      • 2011-01-10 01034, 2011

      • ddaydj
        sega published it, so i don't see how its not one of those two
      • 2011-01-10 01003, 2011

      • nikki
        it could be that one of them is wrong
      • 2011-01-10 01006, 2011

      • kepstin
        half the time when I find tracklists for stuff I'm adding, it'll have the lyricist/composer/arranger mixed in, which makes the parser less useful :(
