VxJasonxV: did you get any of the replies you needed for the Bandcamp relationship?

hey, i'm needing a help

i downloaded the database dumps, and need to import them into a postgres database

i'm using the scripts in your git to create the tables and such

but the script does not create the tables i need

rodrigo: you might get help more quickly in #musicbrainz-devel

ok, thanks

nikki: I'm still having difficulty tracking that bug down, but it appears the cookie gets cleared. very strange

Dremora, you around currently, wanted to ask about your foobar MB component quickly.

vaguerant: yep, I'm here

I was just wondering if you had any interest in adding check boxes for all the tags you're sourcing from MB, e.g. Total tracks, Band, Composer, etc.; personally I only use a few tags--artist, album, track, title, date. Obviously I can remove them myself after grabbing tags from MB, but it'd be nice to just ignore those tags I don't need from the outset.

actually I was thinking about it, so yes

Great, I'll look forward to it. Only just grabbed the extension, already makes things infinitely more convenient, so my thanks.

If in Various artist album track doesn't have artist it must be VA? http://www.ebreggae.com/SupersizedImage.asp?Ima...

dubwai: you can use [no artist] if there's *really* no artist

dubwai: or [unknown] if you just don't know it

it's "version"

dubwai: Is the link correct?

only melody http://www.ebreggae.com/i595/ZLMB128264W595.jpg

Seeing that, the artist seems either Skateland Killer or Frenchie

side a http://www.ebreggae.com/i595/ZLM128264W595.jpg

or mb no artist ;-)

Hmm

Seeing that, it seems it's just the riddim with no deejay

So I'd say [unknown] or, most likely, Frenchie

http://www.reggae.fr/artiste-biographie/872_Fre... :-)

i use it

hmmmm

it's a producer and founder of the label

man how do you think title must be "Skateland Killer (version)" or "Skateland Killer" or "Skateland Killer Version"

Skateland Killer (version)

thx 4 help

I think (version) has a specific meaning in reggae and dub

yes

Although I never remember what it is

it's only melody without words

another 2 song in this album have same melody but diffrent words

Yeah, I know about riddims :)

So "Skateland Killer (version)" is kinda the same as when they just say "Skateland Killer Riddim" as track name then?

i think no because Riddim is album with many tracks ~10-15 but

i don't like it :-)

And then a last track called "Whatever Riddim" being just the riddim with no voice

yes

but look http://i.imgur.com/pcPNm.jpg

on single often use "Version"

:)

Nice to know

and according to MB rules I must use "(version)" instead "Version"?

I don't know if the rules say anything specific

For this issue

If not, I'd use whatever they do

ok I will be nice to discuss this and add exactly rule to documentation

how to use vinyl track numbers

A1. Call Up Jah (3:13) but in Preview 1Call Up JahAlborosie3:13

in edit box "A1. Call Up Jah (3:13)" but in Preview "1 Call Up Jah Alborosie 3:13"

dubwai: in no way, still

:(

That has been requested

even option have "Enable vinyl track numbers" ?

it's not workin now?

That means "allow the parser to translate A1 and so to 1, 2, 3"

But nothing more

bad :-(

I know, I know

I have requested it too

mb link that i may vote?

it may well come in the next schema update

You could add an annotation saying "B side starts on track X"

dubwai: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-842

ocharles: when would that be?

reosarevok: months off

we won't be doing schema changes often

Is that the same schema change that will include variant names for relationships?

variant names?

"artist credits"

(you said they didn't need to be full artist credits or something)

oh right

maybe

ok, I'm AFK til very late monday.

LIB!

reosarevok: it's certainly leaning more towards "yea" than "nope"

in English "I" always from capital letter?

yea

you love yoursefl :-) in Russina language from small letter

dubwai: in most languages it is

But don't expect English to make sense, it never does

hi

i think "performances" should be listed above "cover performances" here: http://musicbrainz.org/work/cc0f543a-b1e2-3822-...

but it seems to be alphabetical

it would be nicer if this screen would illustrate the history of a work

1. information about creation 2. about performances 3. about covers and tributes

reosarevok: http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=... :-)

oh of COURSE he JUST quit.

VxJasonxV: you can still answer though! :)

(I'm assuming you were referring to the bandcamp status update reosarevok was asking about earlier today)

correct

the answer is no

Last I heard, ruaok was going to get in touch with them directly. Between that and a lack of answer from the respective individuals (e.g. Bandcamp), I have backed off.

ok, that makes sense.

(feat.) should be moved to collaboration artist credits now, right?

hawke_: depends.

hawke_: there was some opposition to removing the featuring artist style guideline, so that guideline is unchanged, but only applies to recordings.

uhh, what is the guideline with feat. in a title?

and the track should be as on cover, so if the cover has (feat. foo), that should be retained in the track title.

oh

So basically “no”?

hawke_: no, unless the backcover tracklisting does not have (feat. foo) where our database entry does have it.

EM3RY: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Recording_and... is the guideline which applies to recordings.

warp: ok

that makes no sense
