Is it me, or is MusicIP being slower to generate new PUIDs? I have files I analyzed 3 days ago which still aren't getting PUIDs when fingerprinted...

I've extracted the music from "The Sims 2" and I'm trying to figure out how best to add it to MB

It's divided roughly into albums (expansion packs) and into genres (Sims 2 "radio stations")...
2007-05-31 15120, 2007
hawke
But: the tracks have no particular order on the albums
2007-05-31 15112, 2007
hawke
I could treat each "station" as an album, and order from there in the order they were released..
2007-05-31 15136, 2007

2007-05-31 15147, 2007

but I think the expansion packs resemble a release more than the "stations" do.
2007-05-31 15126, 2007
hawke
adding them to the appropriate artists as non-album tracks seems ugly, since they'd then just be scattered all over the place when they're legitimately grouped together.

VA compilation then?

2007-05-31 15151, 2007

Yeah, definitely VA compilation
2007-05-31 15157, 2007
hawke
but again, how to group them. :-/
2007-05-31 15102, 2007

and order them

hawke_: i don't think game rips should be in the DB, unless they're widely distributed (sort of like bootlegs).
2007-05-31 15122, 2007
hawke_
warp: why not?
2007-05-31 15132, 2007
warp
hawke_: er, i mean that afaik, that is the current consensus within MB
2007-05-31 15139, 2007
hawke_
And also, the game is pretty freaking widely distributed
2007-05-31 15153, 2007
warp
hawke_: the game is, your music rip isn't.
2007-05-31 15117, 2007
hawke_
hmm...my music rip is just extracting the mp3s directly from the game
2007-05-31 15123, 2007
hawke_
I think it's reasonably canonical
2007-05-31 15119, 2007
warp
hawke_: still, you're facing trouble as to how to organize it,... how to group them into releases, how to determine which tracks go first.

hawke_: whatever you choose will be arbitrary, and others will likely disagree and prefer some other grouping/ordering.
2007-05-31 15152, 2007
hawke_
well, IMO the track order problem is a limitation of MB: it can't handle random-order tracks.
2007-05-31 15116, 2007
hawke_
and the music came out clearly in expansion packs so that takes care of at least part of the grouping
2007-05-31 15139, 2007
warp
hawke_: anyway, I have some video game music rips myself, and would like for some to be in the DB. so in theory I am in favour of allowing such things.
2007-05-31 15155, 2007
warp
hawke_: but not without proper discussion of the issues on the appropriate mailinglists.
2007-05-31 15128, 2007
hawke_
Well, I'll throw the main game with no expansion packs out there, see how it's received.
I just compiled and started using the official stable picard snapshot. Can't I make it make tagged music move into the right subdirs? like %artist%/%album%/%track%?
2007-05-31 15131, 2007
artagnon
I can't have all my music in one directory or worse still, in the wrong directories
2007-05-31 15159, 2007
tru
yes you can.
2007-05-31 15107, 2007
tru
in the settings there is a button for "move files"
2007-05-31 15125, 2007
tru
check it, and when you save it will write the new files into that directory.
2007-05-31 15148, 2007
Muz_
That didn't work last time I tried it
2007-05-31 15157, 2007
Muz_
Unless luks has fixed it in the latest verion of the client
2007-05-31 15130, 2007
artagnon
tru: I don't want it to write everything to the same directory. Can I fill in %artist/%album there?
2007-05-31 15144, 2007
tru
yes
2007-05-31 15149, 2007
tru
Muz_: works just fine for me anyway.
2007-05-31 15114, 2007
Muz_
tru, I last tested it with alpha9 heh and it didn't work
2007-05-31 15116, 2007
artagnon
okay, I'll try it now
2007-05-31 15137, 2007
artagnon
tru: What about files that I've already tagged? How do I ask it to re-apply the settings to them?
2007-05-31 15144, 2007
artagnon
I can't seem to even un-tag them
2007-05-31 15153, 2007
tru
artagnon: just save them again.
2007-05-31 15154, 2007
Muz_
Just chuck em back in and click Save again
2007-05-31 15104, 2007
tru
and it will know it's not in the correct dir.
2007-05-31 15132, 2007
artagnon
tru: Can't, the button is disabled
2007-05-31 15102, 2007
artagnon
tru: And %artist/%album in "move tagged files to directory" isn't working
2007-05-31 15117, 2007
artagnon
it's not accepting that option
2007-05-31 15136, 2007
Muz_
It made a folder called "%artist%" for me hah
2007-05-31 15151, 2007
Muz_
(The above exact string, not the actual artist name)
2007-05-31 15117, 2007
artagnon
it's %artist
2007-05-31 15122, 2007
artagnon
not %artist%
2007-05-31 15137, 2007
artagnon
tru: Could you point me to the version of Picard you have/
Does picardqt-a11 ask anyone else to upgrade to picardqt-a11?

ah, some permissions problem
2007-05-31 15128, 2007
artagnon
I'll just have to drag the subdirs
2007-05-31 15119, 2007
artagnon
wait a sec, does this "remove" fuction erase the files or simply remove them from Picard?
2007-05-31 15139, 2007

FauxFaux: What's the problem with UFID?
2007-05-31 15114, 2007

It's arbitary binary data, and (hence) foobar won't read it.
2007-05-31 15111, 2007
artagnon
tru: I still don't know how to get music into the right directory... move to directory is literally interpreting %albumartist% and everything else I enter
2007-05-31 15138, 2007
srotta
FauxFaux: Yeah, I was about to mention that. 8)
2007-05-31 15109, 2007
FauxFaux
I'm sure I can work out how to get taggarscript to write it to a TXXX TIF called something like, say, MusicBrainz Track Id. Mutter.
2007-05-31 15150, 2007
artagnon
can't I make Picard move music into the right subdir? like %artist%/%albumartist%?
2007-05-31 15126, 2007
tru
artagnon: as I told you. it works for me. I suspect you do it wrong or doesn understand picard in someway. or a bug for your specific platform.
2007-05-31 15147, 2007
artagnon
tru: %artist%/%albumartist% is filled in your input box for "move to"?
2007-05-31 15120, 2007
tru
I think I have %artist%/%album%/%albumartist%-
2007-05-31 15137, 2007
tru
no, %albumartist%/%album%/%artist%
2007-05-31 15102, 2007
artagnon 's jaw drops
2007-05-31 15131, 2007
artagnon
:( mine interprets that literally and puts in %albumartist%/%album%
