Weird, Picard is opening ngs.mb instead of mb.org when I lookup
oh well, huzzah in any case

Can't help but feel that the front page should have *some* kind of explanation for all the poor suckers who aren't up to speed with things, but maybe that's just me.

hmm good champange. :)

so once works are merged into the original name, and the performer is still listed as the composer, aren't we losing performer info?
ie, Nocturne No. 3 in B major "Murmures de la Seine 3", Op. 9 No. 3 (piano: Krzysztof Jablonski) becomes Nocturne in B Major, Op. 9 No. 3: Allegretto, and perfomer is listed as Frederic Chopin, what happens to Krzystof Jablonski?
aeontech: works don't know anything about performers

Hmm. "Warning: There were one or more errors, please check the following fields: 0"
That's while trying to add a track list for a new release.
It doesn't seem to be saving what I enter in the tracklist box when I press "next".
The "preview" pane shows correct details before I hit next, but it resets the track list to the default listing of "<TRACKNUM>. - <ARTIST> - <ARTIST>".

hi
is there a track relationships cumulating view?
__bartholomule
Aah. It expects "<tracknum>. - <tracktitle> - <trackartist>". Labels on that page could be really helpful.
herojoker
i.e. something saying that instrument X is played by A in tracks 1-5,7,12
__bartholomule
Hmm. It populates the "advanced" view correctly that way, but I still can't hit next.

herojoker: it's planned, but not implemented yet
herojoker
okay, cool :)
luks
in fact I had it on the original design for the NGS layout :)
__bartholomule: what is the problem you're having?
__bartholomule: the release editor is finicky right now, i had problems with it that were solved by just restarting the process from scratch
the next/prev navigation in release editor can mess it up
seemingly
__bartholomule
I hit cancel and restarted each time after I noticed that it wasn't handling prev/next properly.
I get "A track name is required on track <N>." for all tracks when entering in details on a new release with both the basic and advanced tracklist editors.
I tried all combinations of the check boxes in the options area.
I was just typing up a bug report for it.

can't find freedb import in the new NGS-world, has this gone away?
nikki
blarney: you can import from the release editor (click 'add disc')
you can also select freedb in the search
and there'll be an import link on the right
blarney
nikki: ah, thanks. might be useful to have some text next to the "add disc" button that mentions "import", to make this more "discoverable"
__bartholomule
I tried the freedb import as well. It added a second disc instead of setting the current track listing. After removing the original (empty) disc, the disc numbers were confused and it was displaying "Disc 0" in the preview pane. It also triggers the bug I'm in the process of reporting.

is it me or does everyone's login to MB keep timing out (on the NGS server)?

ocharles, maybe it was moving it to the main server
ocharles
possibly, but i'm not sure why
gnu_andrew
ocharles, saw that after I mentioned it
well if it happens again I'll file a bug :-0

ocharles, ok I'll try

Jozo: I would have thought country:XX but it seems either the indexes haven't updated, or that doesn't work
should it be �Deluxe edition� or �Deluxe Edition� (or even �deluxe edition�)? (it's not part of the title, and more like extra title information, but in comment field)
