does anyone know much about the algorithm that allows for relevance matching when you do a search on musicbrainz.com?, as in this CD is 100% match to what you searched, this one is 80 etc?

not on musicbrainz.com. I do on musicbrainz.org :)

my mistake

appologies

its using lucene text searches with fuzzy text matching post processing.

what do you want to know?

basically I wanted to know how it was done

and I think you just hit the nail on the head with that one

time for a nap again, goodnight all!

do you guys prefer sorting your ablums by %albumartistsort% or just %albumartist% ?

aCiD2 is now known as aCiD2|OnRadio

back later :)

the latter for me, chillware

chillware: hm, a combination of both? :)

aCiD2|OnRadio is now known as aCiD2

chillware: Former for me

what exactly is the diff between the two?

The Strokes vs. Strokes, The

DJ Fresh vs Fresh, DJ

etc

oh, i thought he was saying %albumartistsort% and %albumsort%

they did earlier :)

do you know the difference between those 2?

albums have sort names? o_O

No, it's album -artist- sort, against album artist

Not the release names themselvels

Jugdish, I think it was just a typo earlier

ah ok

The Doo-Wops :)

i just wish i could get foobar2000 to SORT using %albumartistsort% but still DISPLAY the artist using %albumartist% :/

You can

That's pretty easy

how?

In the menus at the top you define the sorting algo

So in there you'd just use %albumartistsort%

iTunes *used* to do that but forgot how to since some version...

and then in columns ui, for the artist field you just use %albumartist%

acid2: oh, i meant in the album tree panel

Ahh

I need to buy a domain name, but can't think what to buy :(

acid2.net?

Not sure what that means, but it's taken :P

acid2.co.uk is free

aCiD2: That just means you have to pay more, but I'm sure that you can get it if you really want.

Ahh

aCiD2: If you want .net, you could also check to see when the domain expires and wait for that and see whether they are going to renew it.

I'm not sure I really want acid anything

hmm

aCiD2: Or you can look up the current 'owners' of the domain and ask whether you could buy it off of them.

I might get racoonz.net so I can have "musical.racoonz.net" as my musicbrainz server :P

:)

ruaok: why is there a column "french_name" in the table "language"? o_O

I guess someone found the data available somewhere and thought it'd be a good idea to stuff it in in case it might be needed later

http://www.qwantz.com/fanart/japan/ that is so cool! Dinosaur comics are used in Japan to help children learn English :)

Oh well, g'night all!

goodnight everyone!

Woo, I got raccoonz.net :)

double c?

Yup

That's apparently how it's spelt

"Racoon is a rarer, much less common spelling"

ah

i most just went for an as short as possible domain, so i can easily spell it on the phone.

(when giving out my email address)

warp: What would that be?

kuno [at frob.nl]

:)

ruaok: ...

warp: !!!

ruaok: who coined the mb name?

that was my term. in the middle of a party.

well, i do agree. i'm here despite the z :P

ruaok: I thought that... but raccoons looked too "useful"

Someone could make use of raccoons.net

perhaps someone could make use of frob.nl too, but tough luck, i got there first :)

Hey neat ruaok, I want some Shure e3c's too! (/me is checking your site out)

hehe

oh, I need to update that. I got those. :)

Are they good?

Haven't found a decent review yet (granted, I haven't looked either :P )

ok, I wouldn't buy them again.

not enough base response, and I can't get any of the buds to stick in my ears reliably

hmmm

BASS damnit, not base >.<

:P

ruaok: 'You can't copyright a number.' <-- depends on how big the number is.

I usually where can headphones, but I'd like to get some for cycling on the hills, cause big headphones just get in the way and make my ears sweat

Moose

warp: that's actually not true.

at least not in the US.

you need to have some "creative work" go into the number.

no creative work, no copyright.

ruaok: yes, but that's easy.

ruaok: any .mp3 on your harddisk is basically a really really big number :)

agreed.

but the HD-DVD key is not.

agreed.

also weird for the fuss about that to come about now

Mp3 has some type of other representation though - it is creative in itself - you don't "play" a HD-DVD key

wasn't that key fetched a few months ago?

No, they had a way to crack it, but they didn't have the actual key

Circumvent, not crack

erm

what's the difference between "is the earliest release of" and "is the earliest version of"?

aCiD2: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121866&... <-- that's the key right? feb 11th, 2007.

Oh, fair enough :)

Jugdish: release would be the exact same content (other than remastering)..

ok, and "version" indicates diff recording?

Jugdish: yes, i think so.

bye! _o/

Oh ruaok - got a moment

?

See ya warp!

natta warp!

shoot, aCiD2

I got all the mbdump files, and imported them with InitDb, but I can only do searches on the data

Going to the artist page doesn't work
