In the mixer, it writes the stuff used to generate the pweed to the file.

(in the tags)

ah

but what's the point in storing that info in the files after it has been analyzed?

once that's done the PUID generation is relatively fast

The data's stored with the music as apposed to in an arbitary database (which is reeeal easy to lose).

Yeah

I was always just a little skeptical of sending the data off somewhere I don't really know anything about

Anyone available who is able to write/type japanese characters? Or one who is able to explain to me how I should add them to MB?

Prodoc: copy/paste.

can't they are images

Prodoc: feel free to poke me if you come across some korean though :)

hehe

I added a serie of members to a japanese band but just used the, for us, readable/useable names

(http://www.yamato.jp/english/main-e/main-flame-...)

err... http://www.yamato.jp/english/members/member-e.htm

Prodoc: yeah, i saw that. can't type japanese though, sorry.

Prodoc: leave appropriate links in annotations, so hopefully someone else will fix them :)

i can type japanese

if you still need help

prodoc

I found 2 characters so far, so yes, if it isn't too much trouble for you it would be great if you can help out

;-)

ok

the native member names can be found here http://www.yamato.jp/english/members/member-e.htm

just out of interest, how do you do it?

using the language toolbar in windows xp

incidentally, the english-character versions only give their first name, but the kanji versions give their full name

do you care?

I fyou click on an image, you'll get the full name, the full name is what I added to MB

ok

how should i send this to you? a wordpad doc?

if I can use that for copy-paste than that will be fine yes

irc file transfer will probably not work. My e-mail address is age [at hobba.nl]

k

which font do you recommend me to install if I want to actually view the characters instead of questionmarks?

i'm using MS PGothic

sorry, just about done

np at all

I imagine you don't go through the complete list of characters to find or write a specific character but how do you do it?

dumme greie

hey if you guys need help, I can type stuff to

heeeyyyy

You can type "heeeyyyy"? Cool! :P

dumma

ponysuxor

Noesnoes.

catgroove: we could use a couple of 'getting started' beginner guide wiki pages if you're interested ;-)

erh, on japanese kanji???

lol, no, on MB

I R dumb logic cannot type stuff

only letters

prodoc: just emailed you a bunch of them. there are a few i'm still working on (they aren't converting right!)

:(

great, thanks a lot Jugdish! I'm gonna reboot for a second to complete the font support installation, brb

mika miyazaki: 宮崎美香

no?

indeed

mika miyazaki: 宮崎美香 <--

yeah, it working

+ 's

cool

remember: add the old name as aliases!

also leave the sortname as is

yeah yeah :-P

what ? i'm sure you knew, but it doesn't hurt repeating

indeed, thanks catgroove ;-)

np

if you need anyhelp, don't hessitate to ask

Jugdish: did you already send a file? I don't have an e-mail yet

yes i did

weird

age [at hobba.nl] ?

yep

subject: yamato

i guess i could just paste them in here if you can see the characters now

hmm, not in junk either and I can't imagine it's too big

yeah

hey jugdish, how about just pasteing them in the annotation of the artist yamato?

(instead of here)

i pasted them on my wiki page

can I help edit?

:DD

yes, there are 2 names left that i can't figure out

:D

catgroove: already done http://musicbrainz.org/show/artist/relationship... except for 2

narf :(

the last 2 names

the question marks...i just can't read those tiny characters :P

let mesee

Jugdish: U+5362?

for the second Marika character

no, U+6237

hrm

it could be, but U+6237 has a horizontal line at the top and the image has a vertical line at the top

not according to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf

aha

looks good

now I just need to find out how to insert that character using the code

;-)

did catgroove have any luck?

he's probably browsing through the same 83 pages as me ;-)

heh

i found this page pretty helpful: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/cgi-local/breen/w...

basically you check as many of the radicals as you can make it out in a single character, and click "Find"

nice, cool

do you know how I should insert the character now that I know the unicode code? Using some ALT+ combi just doesn't seem to work

I keep ending up with the ] character

hmm

what's weird about U+6237 is that if you open charmap and type it in, it goes to U+6238, and if you try to go to the one before that, it goes to U+6234

it's like it doesn't exist :P

typical

maybe it's just 尸 with a font difference

hmm

I found that one as well yeah but there's clearly a vertical line above it in the image

perhaps the last one is 畢

no...

户

dærvarn

what is it?

U+6237

finally

erh, wtf when I paste it into njstar i get 薩

Boxed! <3

:O

http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/2007/2007-03/20... <-- doesn't show up in text

lol, when I past it http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/cgi-local/breen/w... again to show me the elements it give me ERROR EXIT: No Kanji specified!

戸 barapa!

it does here

erhmnei

what do you see behind Marika Nito here: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Jugdish as the second character?
