reosarevok would love it, combined with a script to set languages
2011-07-21 20209, 2011
reosarevok is clearly not going to use the RE on a thousand releases in a row
2011-07-21 20224, 2011
reosarevok
I value the little sanity I have left
2011-07-21 20202, 2011
kepstin-laptop
hmm. signwriting isn't in unicode, and requires special support to display symbols in the spacially correct place, so musicbrainz couldn't easily support it :/
2011-07-21 20230, 2011
nikki
it needs vertical text, so that rules out everything except IE, doesn't it?
2011-07-21 20231, 2011
reosarevok
kepstin-laptop: we can't even support Hebrew correctly
2011-07-21 20242, 2011
reosarevok
So… not surprising
2011-07-21 20217, 2011
kepstin-laptop
testing something.
2011-07-21 20221, 2011
kepstin-laptop
hmm.
2011-07-21 20232, 2011
kepstin-laptop
w/e, that didn't do anything useful :)
2011-07-21 20241, 2011
reosarevok thinks ruaok should spend some money on a MB tent in Tahrir and recruit Arabic speaking editors
2011-07-21 20241, 2011
CatCat
what about braille?
2011-07-21 20250, 2011
nikki
braille is in unicode
2011-07-21 20254, 2011
CatCat agrees
2011-07-21 20201, 2011
CatCat
any releases rih braille?
2011-07-21 20204, 2011

2011-07-21 20210, 2011
kepstin-laptop picked a couple random symbols

ianmcorvidae
CatCat: starting up my server to check, but I'd guess not
2011-07-21 20246, 2011
CatCat idly wonders if unown scitp is/could ever be a part of unicode
2011-07-21 20205, 2011
ianmcorvidae
nope, none in braille
2011-07-21 20209, 2011
CatCat
hn
2011-07-21 20210, 2011
nikki
doubt it
2011-07-21 20213, 2011
ianmcorvidae
as of my dump, which is admittedly a few weeks old, but still
2011-07-21 20229, 2011
ruaok promises reosarevok to get right on that
2011-07-21 20248, 2011
CatCat
there must exist atleast one release with braille tracklist
2011-07-21 20200, 2011
reosarevok
CatCat: I'm sure there is, find it and add it :D
2011-07-21 20202, 2011
nikki imagines it won't be a jewel case
2011-07-21 20211, 2011
reosarevok
Maybe a cardboard sleeve
2011-07-21 20211, 2011
CatCat
it's like rule 34 of musicbrainz.. if yo ucan think it ther is a tracklist with those symbols
kepstin-laptop: someone make my vinyl player scrobble
2011-07-21 20259, 2011
kepstin-laptop
hmm. I wonder if this WD box can play the mp3 stream from that
2011-07-21 20208, 2011
kepstin-laptop
reosarevok: using a microphone and echoprints?
2011-07-21 20212, 2011
kepstin-laptop
:)
2011-07-21 20232, 2011
kepstin-laptop
maybe chromaprints would work too, if you used a line-in
2011-07-21 20241, 2011
nikki
angel and nemesis both have 22 artists
2011-07-21 20200, 2011
nikki
alex and eclipse both have 20...
2011-07-21 20237, 2011
nikki
paul smith and john davis look like the most common proper names with 13 each
2011-07-21 20222, 2011
nikki
(followed by james brown and john williams both with 12...)
2011-07-21 20233, 2011
reosarevok
nikki: is that diacritic-dependant?
2011-07-21 20236, 2011
nikki
yes
2011-07-21 20241, 2011
reosarevok
Ok
2011-07-21 20247, 2011
nikki
that's identical names
2011-07-21 20259, 2011
reosarevok
Then there are more Angel than that if you ignore diacritics
2011-07-21 20200, 2011
reosarevok
:)
2011-07-21 20212, 2011
reosarevok
(and probably one more Nemesis)
2011-07-21 20236, 2011
kepstin-laptop knows of at least one japanese transcription of eclipse, as well
2011-07-21 20254, 2011
kepstin-laptop
hmm. looks like I can't use the WD TV Live box as a squeezebox client without rooting it :/
2011-07-21 20257, 2011
kepstin-laptop
at which point I might as well just install mpd and scrobble natively ;)

hawke_
Jesus christ the basic editor is SLOOW
2011-07-21 20258, 2011
reosarevok
hawke_: isn't everything?
2011-07-21 20217, 2011
hawke_
reosarevok: eh?
2011-07-21 20239, 2011
reosarevok
like, everything in the RE is slow, isn't it?
2011-07-21 20252, 2011
reosarevok
Not only the basic tracklist
2011-07-21 20203, 2011
hawke_
Oh. No, it’s fine if you use the advanced editor.
2011-07-21 20214, 2011
hawke_
And I don’t mind if a page takes awhile to load
2011-07-21 20229, 2011
hawke_
but when a simple text editor takes tens of seconds to display text I type?
2011-07-21 20233, 2011
hawke_
That’s bad.
2011-07-21 20243, 2011
reosarevok
hawke_: that's because it's not a simple text editor
2011-07-21 20249, 2011
reosarevok
Which it *should* be
2011-07-21 20203, 2011
hawke_
reosarevok: Depends on perspective. :-)
2011-07-21 20231, 2011
reosarevok
It's to a simple text form what MS Word to a text editor
2011-07-21 20239, 2011
hawke_
hah
2011-07-21 20250, 2011
reosarevok
It tries to do too much too cleverly and it doesn't help
2011-07-21 20200, 2011
reosarevok thinks he lacks a Clippo though
2011-07-21 20201, 2011
hawke_
I’ll disagree there, given that it doesn’t do anything clever at all. :-p
2011-07-21 20223, 2011
hawke_
I mean, yeah, there’s a little bit of parsing to generate the preview on the right
2011-07-21 20248, 2011
reosarevok
Yeah, that's what I mean
2011-07-21 20254, 2011
hawke_
But as far as I can tell it must do it much too often and must be doing something ridiculously badly.
2011-07-21 20215, 2011
hawke_
it can’t be that hard to split on a dash, can it? :-p
2011-07-21 20236, 2011
hawke_
(and drop a number off the first position, if appropriate)
2011-07-21 20236, 2011
reosarevok
hawke_: what it does ridiculously badly is parsing all the time instead of waiting for you to tell it "ok, now go and parse"
2011-07-21 20234, 2011
hawke_
Even if it parses on every keystroke, split("-") is *not* that heavy-duty.
2011-07-21 20220, 2011
hawke_
And yeah, it needs to do a bit more than that, I’m sure.
2011-07-21 20245, 2011
kepstin-laptop just doesn't ever use the basic editor at all
2011-07-21 20206, 2011
hawke_
I honestly don’t understand why the basic editor exists as such
2011-07-21 20208, 2011
kepstin-laptop
copy/pasting field by field from a text tracklisting is less frustrating.
2011-07-21 20217, 2011
reosarevok does, for parsing
2011-07-21 20223, 2011
reosarevok
But that's why I want a parser
2011-07-21 20228, 2011
reosarevok
Not this :)
2011-07-21 20235, 2011
hawke_
reosarevok: Yeah, I’d rather have the advanced editor by default
2011-07-21 20255, 2011
hawke_
and then have a “import from text" feature which brings up the “basic” editor.
2011-07-21 20208, 2011
kepstin-laptop
you know what someone should make? a userscript that adds an optionally viewable parser box to the advanced editor, then fills in the fields from it when you hit parse :)
2011-07-21 20213, 2011
reosarevok would like having the basic editor as default for adds, and the advanced for edits
2011-07-21 20209, 2011
kepstin-laptop
I wonder if you can read from the clipboard in javascript nowadays - if so, it could just be a single button "parse from clipboard"
2011-07-21 20229, 2011
reosarevok
kepstin-laptop: no, it couldn't
2011-07-21 20242, 2011
reosarevok
bandcamp, itunes, etc give you the data formatted in lots of lines
