Does the guy who maintains the last.fm plus plugin hang out around in here?

ah, ok - I love that plugin... but it appears that the "original year" may no longer be working - seems to always take the year of the selected release

the latest versions of picard already support that afaik

but you might need to add a line in the scripting bit to set it to the tag you want to use
(yeah, we need a way to add a work directly related to a recording without an userscript... I imagine there is a ticket for it)

that's what I probably need to educate myself on a bit more... what's the concept of "work" vs. recording
2011-09-01 24444, 2011

Anyway, for now, add a work, name it "Electrocution", and relate it to both Fox's and NS' recordings
2011-09-01 24457, 2011
reosarevok
The work is (more or less) the "composition"
2011-09-01 24405, 2011
reosarevok
While the recording is the "performance"
2011-09-01 24419, 2011
skd5aner
ha - so much simplier before :)

I'll come back and try to learn a bit more about it later... I like to add these things when I come across them
2011-09-01 24423, 2011
reosarevok
It was simpler before... except when it wasn't
2011-09-01 24449, 2011
reosarevok
(at least now you're not expected to hunt for the first release ever)
2011-09-01 24454, 2011
skd5aner
well, I meant this specific piece :)
2011-09-01 24438, 2011
skd5aner
but, I just noticed that during the NGS release, it appears that there wasn't a way for this stuff to be transformed from the old data? because I had covers entered as ARs in the old schema that don't appear to be represented now in MB :(
2011-09-01 24431, 2011
reosarevok
:/
2011-09-01 24436, 2011
reosarevok
In theory, they were all converted
2011-09-01 24448, 2011
reosarevok
Aren't they linked to any works now if you enter the recording?
2011-09-01 24419, 2011
skd5aner
hmmm, I could be wrong - some tracks I know I entered are, but the first one I checked, which is on the same album as others I entered isn't
2011-09-01 24429, 2011
skd5aner
so... I don't know, I strongly doubt I missed it
2011-09-01 24400, 2011
skd5aner
either way, I'm playing around now with some, and I can see how to enter the edits now...

2011-09-01 24441, 2011
skd5aner
so, one last quick question...
2011-09-01 24443, 2011
reosarevok
Hopefully in a couple of months everything will be simpler
2011-09-01 24450, 2011
reosarevok
Yep?
2011-09-01 24453, 2011
skd5aner
how come a "work" wouldn't exist for a recording? Do they all have to be created manually?
2011-09-01 24404, 2011
skd5aner
ie, that bill fox one
2011-09-01 24426, 2011
reosarevok
They were created automatically if a track had any work-level relationships (composer, lyricist, etc)
2011-09-01 24435, 2011
reosarevok
Or stuff that needed them (like cover)
2011-09-01 24436, 2011
skd5aner
ah
2011-09-01 24442, 2011
skd5aner
so LOTS of them won't
2011-09-01 24445, 2011
reosarevok
Yes
2011-09-01 24455, 2011
skd5aner
only stuff that had some AR related entity like that
2011-09-01 24403, 2011
reosarevok
It was considered better than creating so many that the lists were unmanageable, I guess
2011-09-01 24432, 2011
skd5aner
what about new stuff... if I add a new album, and fill it with tracks - will it automatically create works?
