        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?
      • 2007-05-08 12807, 2007

      • ruaok
        not on musicbrainz.com. I do on musicbrainz.org :)
      • 2007-05-08 12837, 2007

      • ph1zzle
        my mistake
      • 2007-05-08 12840, 2007

      • ph1zzle
        appologies
      • 2007-05-08 12840, 2007

      • ruaok
        its using lucene text searches with fuzzy text matching post processing.
      • 2007-05-08 12859, 2007

      • ph1zzle needs to do some lucene reading then
      • 2007-05-08 12819, 2007

      • ruaok
        what do you want to know?
      • 2007-05-08 12848, 2007

      • ph1zzle
        basically I wanted to know how it was done
      • 2007-05-08 12802, 2007

      • ph1zzle
        and I think you just hit the nail on the head with that one

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

        oh, i thought he was saying %albumartistsort% and %albumsort%
      • 2007-05-08 12853, 2007

      • Shepard
        they did earlier :)
      • 2007-05-08 12803, 2007

      • Shepard got confused by this as well
      • 2007-05-08 12821, 2007

      • Jugdish
        do you know the difference between those 2?

        albums have sort names? o_O
      • 2007-05-08 12814, 2007

      • aCiD2
        No, it's album -artist- sort, against album artist
      • 2007-05-08 12819, 2007

      • aCiD2
        Not the release names themselvels
      • 2007-05-08 12840, 2007

      • Shepard
        Jugdish, I think it was just a typo earlier
      • 2007-05-08 12852, 2007

      • Jugdish
        ah ok

        So, "The The" becomes "The, The"...
      • 2007-05-08 12824, 2007

      • Jugdish
        i just wish i could get foobar2000 to SORT using %albumartistsort% but still DISPLAY the artist using %albumartist% :/
      • 2007-05-08 12835, 2007

      • aCiD2
        You can
      • 2007-05-08 12838, 2007

      • aCiD2
        That's pretty easy
      • 2007-05-08 12841, 2007

      • Jugdish
        how?
      • 2007-05-08 12852, 2007

      • aCiD2
        In the menus at the top you define the sorting algo
      • 2007-05-08 12801, 2007

      • aCiD2
        So in there you'd just use %albumartistsort%
      • 2007-05-08 12811, 2007

      • Shepard
        iTunes *used* to do that but forgot how to since some version...
      • 2007-05-08 12815, 2007

      • aCiD2
        and then in columns ui, for the artist field you just use %albumartist%

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

      • aCiD2
        Mp3 has some type of other representation though - it is creative in itself - you don't "play" a HD-DVD key
      • 2007-05-08 12837, 2007

      • warp
        wasn't that key fetched a few months ago?
      • 2007-05-08 12856, 2007

      • aCiD2
        No, they had a way to crack it, but they didn't have the actual key
      • 2007-05-08 12806, 2007
