        alastairp: I managed to finally make the MP3s readonly after tagging
      • 2010-02-01 03211, 2010

      • aCiD2
        The process is now drawn out to... XLD -> Flac (~/FLAC) -> Picard -> ~/cd2mp3.sh -> rsync FLACs to backup server and rm. Then Picard tag the MP3s, and move them to ~/MP3 and chmod -R 0400 *.mp3

        feh
      • 2010-02-01 03231, 2010

      • aCiD2
        at least it doesn't happen often (well, when I'm done importing these 100 cds that are already in flac)

        And somehow iTunes still manages to alter some of the files, but less at least

        dont mean to be a pain, but after re-lookup-ing and trying to drag the url across. still nothing showing up in the tagger

        Yet one more wtf on my never ending iTunes quest :P Tag with picard, move and add to iTunes = bork. Tag with picard, *copy* and add to iTunes, works

        Stop using iTunes. ¬_¬
      • 2010-02-01 03234, 2010

      • aCiD2
        Sure, let my sync up my iPod touch with all this other possible software
      • 2010-02-01 03216, 2010

      • FauxFaux
        Does it not work with whatever the linuxy thing is called? libip-od?
      • 2010-02-01 03230, 2010

      • aCiD2
        There are some experimental branches
      • 2010-02-01 03248, 2010

      • aCiD2
        but the iPod Touch doesn't just use files, it has an internal database that has to be updated too
      • 2010-02-01 03203, 2010

      • FauxFaux
        Next solution is to stop using Apple products entirely! It's all uphill from where you are.
      • 2010-02-01 03217, 2010

      • aCiD2
        Yep, I'll happily do that if someone else can make something worth using

        What happened to the Zune?
      • 2010-02-01 03227, 2010

      • aCiD2
        this iPod is levels beyond anything else I've seen or used
      • 2010-02-01 03237, 2010

      • Muz
        But the Zune! The Zune and the squirting!
      • 2010-02-01 03238, 2010

      • aCiD2
        the Zune got replaced because I decided to go all free software
      • 2010-02-01 03246, 2010

      • Muz
        Apple/iTunes is non-Free.
      • 2010-02-01 03251, 2010

      • aCiD2
        And that was a bad idea, because the cowon was a piece of shit
      • 2010-02-01 03254, 2010

      • aCiD2
        so I gave up with that idea
      • 2010-02-01 03258, 2010

      • Muz
        Hahah

      • 2010-02-01 03212, 2010

      • aCiD2
        well aware of that, but at least the iPod actually works and doesn't randomly restart
      • 2010-02-01 03222, 2010

      • Muz
        The problem with Free stuff, is that whilst the software has significant movement, the hardware is just poo.
      • 2010-02-01 03227, 2010

      • aCiD2
        yep

        Surely you mean FLAC.

      • 2010-02-01 03226, 2010

      • luks
        aCiD2: C (now sure how that maps to UK grades)
      • 2010-02-01 03227, 2010

      • aCiD2
        hah
      • 2010-02-01 03237, 2010

      • luks
        I totally screwed that up
      • 2010-02-01 03244, 2010

      • luks
        was surprised they didn't kick me out
      • 2010-02-01 03246, 2010

      • aCiD2
        a C overall, or just that exam?
      • 2010-02-01 03259, 2010

      • nikki
        apparently its tag reader is a bit shit, so while it's perfectly happy to have the tags I use, multiple tags with the same name like in simon's files make it shit itself
      • 2010-02-01 03218, 2010

      • luks
        depends on what do you mean by 'overall' I guess
      • 2010-02-01 03220, 2010

      • aCiD2
        do these people seriously build mp3s players and test them with one pop rock album or something?
      • 2010-02-01 03231, 2010

      • nikki
        probably :/
      • 2010-02-01 03240, 2010

        for the final grade we do 'thesis defense' and the exam
      • 2010-02-01 03249, 2010

      • luks
        and the average of that is the final grade

        Perhaps its a URIencoding problem, for second query Advanced on please enter artist:"queen"^1.6 (+sortname:"queen"^1.6 -artist:"queen") (+alias:"queen" -artist:"queen" -sortname:"queen") (+(artist:(queen)^0.8) -artist:"queen" -sortname:"queen" -alias:"queen") (+(sortname:(queen)^0.8) -artist:(queen) -sortname:"queen" -alias:"queen") (+(alias:(queen)^0.4) -artist:(queen) -sortname:(queen) -alias:"queen") in the search box

        So what is missing here, apparently you are sending two identical queries to the search server (except for http://localhost:8080 bit ) but getting different results for each, that cannot be true

        I left out the http:// bit since the pastebin thought I was pasting spam.

        I think you understand the problem now, and i checked it half a dozen times on your server now and the results are consistently different for the two different queries, and consistently the same within one one query, is it worth double checking u picked the correct stuff from the logs

        I see the problem, but I can't see where it would come from on my side.
