I have 20 times the message " an artist is required on track 1" (there are 20 tracks)

I've no clue what went wrong

and fyi, it's "track - artist"... you said the contrary, hence no it's entirely wrong in my list :(

For various artist, I wonder if there are no problem when there is an "-" in the name of the author

Caught exception in MusicBrainz::Server::Controller::ReleaseEditor::Add->add "No artist was created for Serge Reggiani at /home/musicbrainz/musicbrainz-server/script/../lib/MusicBrainz/Server/Wizard/ReleaseEditor.pm line 832."

what to do with edits trying to attach a .co.uk ASIN to a Mexican release?

(or Belgian, or South Korean)

the releases have the following in common: no barcode, cat #, format nor discogs; tracklist-wise they're the same as respective regular releases; and discogs doesn't have a Mexican, Belgian, S-Korean (resp.) release for them

hm

v6lur: for commonwealth i'd go with co.uk, but for belgian i'd go with like german or franc?

aouth korea i'd go with jp

yea

perhaps Mexico is amazom.com?

idk

v6lur: both issues should be fixed in the latest version, sorry about that

CatCat: i no-voted on .co.uk→Mexican, but abstained on the other two, as the releases have so little release data that it's impossible to know for sure if the country is even correct (without doing some research — which i intend not to)

bitmap: no worries. glad it's ok now, though, so thanks a lot for the quick update :)

yup, looks nice now. thanks again!

edits for past 2 days that have appropriate number of votes or are past 2 weeks are not applying. known issue?

yes

didn't see a blog post, looked through the mailing list archive, is there some announcement?

no, we don't normally announce bugs :P

"hey, I introduced this new bug! take a look at it and tell me what you think!"

would be good to have a "status" page, maybe on the wiki. wikipedia used to have something like that, just to prevent multiple bug reports etc.

one of the tickets is http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-1977

we have a bug tracker :P

what would that status page show? the number of open bugs?

I mean something that's more user-oriented that might point to the bug tracker

only for fairly major bugs (like this one)

just an idea

it might be possible to use the rss version of the search results to show critical tickets that aren't closed

somewhere...

perhaps you could enter a ticket for it ;)

reosarevok: oboe d'amore? can you give me more information?

CatCat, http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Talk:Advanced_Instr...

mainly i would need to know were it goes. under oboe?

Yeah

With English horn and the rest

Those three releases, plus one I've added and one I'll add next :)

i was fairly active in addign sintruments up until that point :(

That's why I linked directly to the instrument :)

yea

maybe for fall vacations.. once i say i havew the autumn or fall vacation week, ping me about doing the isntrument tree thing

CatCat, once you've done it let me know so I can add the relationships ;)

it requires some more editing also, (adding stuff to others)

but it is done

:)

Thanks!

np

loi, there is also the "Flûte d'amour"

And viola

heh

but its most famous modern usage is, perhaps, in "Boléro" by Maurice Ravel where the oboe d'amore follows the E-flat clarinet to recommence the main theme for the second time around.

:O

and this wasn' i nthe tree already???

outrage!

I imagine those get credited as part of the orchestra, so they're not added per instrument

hm! you know wikipedia has greatly improved these instrument things. i see some great imporvements i can do to this now.. but i have to wait, today is election day, and i have so much other things to do today, mustn't get caught up with instruments

reosarevok: please ping me abput this once it is fall vacation!

Ok :)

cool!

We totally should have them as entities so we can link the Wikipedia pages to them :p

But well, until them they could clearly use a fix

*then

1+++++ on that mate

i've been sayi nthat for a while thoguh :(

Yeah, but it needs implementing three-entity-relationships

So I guess it will take a while :(

CatCat: Election day? Parliament or regional?

Hi! I am trying to submit my first CD, and cannot find any info on how to add multiple artists for one track. I am using the advanced editor

There appears to be submission like this: "Jane Doe & John Doe", but is that really correct?

how exactly are the artists credited on your CD?

Mona Wessman & Peter Himmelstrand

It is a Various Artists CD

there's something called artist credits. when you're in the advanced editor there should be a link "credits" next to the artist name for the track

Yes

when you click on that you can add multiple artists and define how they should be displayed together

Thanks, Shepard

http://i.imgur.com/leJUS.jpg hey this one must be at traclist "%title% Dub" and on recording "%title (dub)" or in both places "%title (dub)"? I ask because on majar reggae/dub albums I ad Dub at the end without brackets, but now it's compillation of dub version from diffrent artists and made by one man.

I just submitted a new release, but I am unable to connect the CD TOC to the release. Nothing seem to happen when I click "Attach CD TOC" (page is refreshed). Must the release be approved before the TOC can be attached?

do you have a link?

you need to select the radio button under the release nam

e

The radiobutton was almost invisible :-(. Thanks nikki

I meant :-) :-*

yeah, before there used to be one button per release

it was a lot better that way imo

What main artist must be (VA or SOJA) if on myspace said that "Syr Mahber is a compilation disc produced by SOJA featuring various artists including: Bobby Lee (SOJA), Luciano, Prezident Brown, Zedicus, Queen Ifrica, Ras Attitude, Jacob Hemphill (SOJA), Sister Carol, Ras Abel, Batch, Tony Rebel, Fear Nuttin Band, Don Carmelo (Gomba Jahbari), Jah Dan & Junior Kelly. Each artist was hand...

...picked by SOJA to form a musical family tree with roots in "Be Aware" and "Faith Works." "

Clint: if you have a minute, what do you think about http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bu... ?

there is now also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bu... which would be solved by the upgrade

I could talk to Adam and take over the package, but I don't have anybody to sponsor the uploads for me and I really don't want to go through debian-mentors again

Are empty artists auto-purged, or do I have to manually remove? I can never remember what modbot kills...

it does remove empty artists
