I didn't remember that :p

derwin, I know, but when I see bad sectors start to increase, I consider that a good time to get that drive out of the critical path. I have 16 years worth of work on that volume and my backup capacity is now stretched to the limit

I donated a few edits

Oh, it seems I did, back in 2008

Why it says "last year", who knows

Wikipedia is famous for it's accuracy

heh

Good point

reosarevok_: http://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=1191&cpage=1...

jacobbrett/reosarevok : "headphones" is pretty neat, if you have questions about it I might be able to answer

it does seem to be pretty "aggressive" in how it queries mb, versus for example beets

Oooh

it also has a *terrible* name, heh.

derwin: What does it do, exactly? Does it require UseNet access?

jacobbrett: it is like "sickbeard", but for music. it requires usenet access and access to a usenet search engine. you enter in artists, it looks them up on MB and then searches for their music via the usenet search engines. It also does mb-based renaming/tagging via integration of beets.

one thing I think is kinda funky is that it seems to "freshen" artists to see if they have new releases, and I think it might do so daily (?)

Heh

Daily, like at 3 AM?

:p

does it happen to be written in python??

reosarevok: :-)

yes, it is written in python

(which is how it can easily integrate beets for tagging, etc)

and headphones is broken right now?

I don't know, but if you're banning python useragent, I'd sorta presume so?

thats what I am surmising.

beets probably uses the same UA

but it might very well be the culprit.

so it is probably broken too, but they haven't mentioned it in #beets

beets is, from what I can tell, very respectful in terms of query frequency

ruaok, feel like mailing these headphones guys? :)

I feel like going to bed. :)

derwin: new version of beets doesn't use pymb2 anymore

so it should work fine

I would just mail him, but he has not provided a mail

(meh)

reosatevok: https://github.com/rembo10/headphones/issues/386

reosarevok, sorry.

Ok

Let's hope he reads it soon

I really hope that's the cause and we can stop worrying about the whole crap

Ooooh

Someone sent a Merry Christmas mail to info [at mb.org]

In Portuguese

can we delete artist ?

like http://musicbrainz.org/artist/0bd180b7-598a-4cd...

_5moufl: Yeah, that looks like a one-off collaboration; use this tool: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/0bd180b7-598a-4cd...

so why split an empty artist entry?

I mean with no release attached to it

It has a recording attached...from a compilation

If it were empty, it should be automatically deleted by ModBot.

but why is it already split on the compilation page jacobbrett :s

oh it's not the racording it's the track

:s

kepstin-netbook: ping?

OH NO I AM A BROADCAST HACKER!!!! NOM NOM NOM ON BITS!

*pong*

oooh, excuse me. how rude of me.

nikki: do you have your ISRC submit page handy ? My CD drive is so clumsy :/ (isrcsubmit.exe wrong though I have the ISRC retrived by mediatool←can’t submit)

nevermind for right now, nikki, after 10 tries, I got a correct IRSC split out to submit

but whenever you can give it away, it would be cool !

hey are you there luks ?

yes, but no, I can't fix isrcsubmit.exe :)

(T_T;)

you mean the mutli-disc fix ? You can’t do it easily quickly etcly ?

no

how sadistic

(sad)istic

;)

luks: fixing the slide down stuff is difficult (but only for some lame cd drives) but the → multi-disc fix, isn’t this easier ? ←

no, it isn't

well, it's easier

but not *super easy* ;)

but still outside of the time limit that I'm willing to put into it

ach, … you don’t submit ISRC ?

no, and I don't use any Windows machine either

wow

just a last tip maybe : maybe the simplest fix would be to select a matching tracklist instead of a matching release so there would not be some heavy code rework to make, maybe ?

so it would always be a 1CD, never 2CD or more, this way

luks, thanks for having coded some stuff you don’t even use btw. I thought you would need it too but you dedicated it to us only, thanks ;)

yo brazeurses, bbq

nikki: could you add musicbrainz tag to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/117672 when you feel it ? hard to find back script it is ;)

bbq

jesus2099: In case you read the scrollback…would it be hard to have the ISRC remove links open in a new window?

er, acoustID remove rather

For your ISRC/AcoustID/PUID script

luks: Picard could definitely use some stronger preference for tracks/releases that are already loaded…

it should do lookups in batches

and try to do matching decisions on groups of files, not all files individually

Perhaps

but preferring already-loaded releases would be a big improvement

Does it just always pull the first release for an acoustID, or what?

no, it does some textual matching on the original tags

if there are no original tags, it's basically random

Or if all releases are essentially the same, I assume.

yeah

It seems to be consistent, not totally random.

Whoa, hitting refresh on a release can screw up the file-track associations. :-(

First time I’ve seen that.

hello five zero two

hawke_: well it is *super easy* but… actually I like the default behaviour for links (and we can SHIFT or CTRL click for alternate behaviour)… but I can make it a setting maybe or the default, let me guess :)

502: I guess it’s time to stop editing

jesus2099: Yeah, middle-click or ctrl-click is easy enough, it would just be nice to have it by default because the 'remove acoustid' page doesn’t go back to the release page when it’s done

Not sure about ISRC and PUID of course

hawke_: I think I’ll do this, you’re right that, however against my principles, it would be stupid not doing it probably ;)

yes I sjhould put back the add/remove ISRC also

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of things that open in a new window…

but hitting back 5 times is worse. :-)

(ok, twice)

hawke_: yeah, let me write this in the todo…

:)

Thanks much
