el lo krew i just imported http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=... i am just going to do the second cd of the two cd release but I am unsure how to relate them...

should i just port the second CD now and then relate them or should it be done beforehand? i would apprec some assistance...

done http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=...

why when i put the CD in to rip it still doesn't pull on the data i have just entered? gggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr

any devs around?

hey, can anyone answer a quick question regarding running a fulltext search on the db?

for some reason i can't get it to use the gin indices

it's doing sequential scans

hi

trying to get my filenamings right

%_extension%/$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/$if(%date%,\($left(%date%,4)\)) %album%/$num(%tracknumber%,2)-%title%

i have this now

but this puts the date in brackets

how can i get rid of them without destroying the 4 char thingy

take the \( and \) out?

oh god

that was too easy

hehe

what to do when the exact same album was released under different names? :)

curse people

hmmmk

and what to do about the release on MB?

are you ok nikki? :)

yeah!

:)

well, how different are the names?

from Tom Jones, one album is known as "At this moment" or "Move closer". The latter is already on MB

hmm...

I have a similar case from Gloria Estefan where one album is named "Anything for you" in Europe and "Let It Loose" in the rest of the world

I'd add it twice, it's going to be separated for NGS after all… but dunno

I guess there are two options, use one release and add a note to the annotation to fix it in the next server release when releases can have different titles while sharing the same tracklist

Oh, yeah, forgot about that

Might be easier

or add it twice, but then you'd need to merge the tracks later

I'll add a note :)

and attach the disc ID to "Move closer" now (although my CD is "at this moment")

I'm blind but I see no option to add a note

when adding a disc id?

you have to go back and add it later :/

I've already added the disc ID

but couldn't enter a note at that point

just add a release annotation I guess

Yeah

all is good now :)

hi kepstin!

it's interesting that the CD from Tom Jones doesn't have a barcode

I don't think I've seen that before

one of them annoys me because amazon has a barcode for it

:D

maybe the barcode was originally on a sticker

possibly, I don't remember seeing one though

oh, cool

we have four unused computers... should probably turn one into one for storing stuff on or something :P

make an aquarium

nah

Hmm

You could make an armchair with them

yeah, I ended up designing a purpose-built miniserver machine with raid drives.

our computers are a bit too leaky to make an aquarium with

jealous...

duct tape?

poor fishies... living in the dark :<

make a window in the sidepanel?

I also keep way too much stuff

or I could just buy an aquarium :P

but it's so hard to throw things away when they still work :(

I really should get rid of my 486

it serves absolutely no useful purpose :)

I have a 486

and a Pentium 1, and another, and a Pentium 2, and a Pentium 3, and an Athlon 1200, and the Athlon X2 5600+ I'm typing this on

part of the point of my new server was replacing an old athlon xp box with something a little more power efficient :)

got an Atom chip rated for max 12W power use.

now that my storage array isn't inside my main desktop, I can actually turn it off when I'm not using it, too.

the desktop, that is.

I don't have a NAS

now I can turn really everything off at night

yeah, that's one reason I don't really want to use the old computers... they're old and probably horribly inefficient

nikki, depends, really

on?

I have a 500Mhz laptop that uses 13 watts. If I just need to look something up on wikipedia, turning that on uses less energy than starting my Athlon X2 5600+ with 24" TFT

and given the ridiculous battery life some newer laptops are showing, they must use even less...

okay but I don't have a 1.5ghz laptop kepstin :P

at least your laptop predates the pentium 4 - those were absolutely horrible chips to have in a laptop :)

and a X2 5600+ laptop couldn't replace my desktop

well I was talking about old computers, I don't really have battery life to use as an estimate :P

I mean...

computer computer... not laptops

I only have one old laptop and that's a mostly-broken ibook
