What's the style for bar-codes? This box has three different spacings onnit.

(http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7057139)

Aagh, also, the edit lies, the data it thinks it's changing from is a cancelled edit.

barcode readers just see the numbers, the spaces and hyphens are to make the long number human readable

I just thought it was strange that it's printed three different ways, some places seem to imply that the barcode is the catalogue number, too.

(actually, they see the lines, not the numbers, but you know what I mean) :)

some companies have started doing that

I've seen it on BMG.au and Sony releases - UPC (without the checkdigit) as cat #

How rude. :)

of who?

he quit on us! :P

The labels, how hard is maintaining "HK{release number}", like hed kandi do?

evening

I think I want to change the way my files are named, doooooom.

hehe

;)

Aaaaaagh.

It's even more silly than my foobar strings, which is impressive. :p (http://blog.prelode.com/?p=48)

lol

mmm, alternate user guide...

FauxFaux: I want a relational filesystem.

Heh, I'm moving more towards the "don't care what it's like on disk" way at the moment. :)

FauxFaux: that pic makes it look like you get different behaviour than I...

You can select multiple clusters, hit lookup, and eachopen a different tab?

That was oldpicard.

oh

yeah, the one feature I'd missed from OldPicard...

The plugins menu shows when you right-click multiple releases, get cracking. :p

good morning

evening, night, whatever

Welcome to some time of day Joan :)

I missed out afternoon

FauxFaux Thought about it actually... don't know enougt python to do t, but it does seem you could have some kind of multiple cluster look

...loop

I think the open-in-browser stuff is broken still, but I'll have to prove that before complaining. :p

it works - all my search plugins do it... uses webbrowser2.open(url)

I just don't think the ExpansionPoint supports multiple clusters tet. I'd have to reread that code to check

It seems to mysteriously overwrite my tabs here, probably not entirely picard's fault.

overwrite as in open in same tab?

Yeah, even though it's off by default in the browser (Oooopera).

In PicardQt? Curious, I can't see it.

hmm, yeah, don't see it in settngs

I've been digging through the source though, so that might be where I saw it

no clue

http://www.amazon.de/Dancefloor-Fg-Mix-Didier-S... <-- hehe, Label: France.

yeah, somehow AZN seems to have just royally screwed up any release having anything to do with France :P

Indeed. :p

It's marked as an import from a french label on amazon.fr too, as expected.

I always get a kick out of people giving me links to sites that pull data right from freedb, to "proove" freedb imports :D

¬_¬

most likely brian, they have no idea

true enough

Got a kick out of the latest one though - he gave 4 verification sites... 3 were freedb data, and the 4th was an mp3 site using freedb data to "make" releases

:p

aww haha

Voting is nowhere near as fun as editing, I don't udnerstand you crazy people. :P

FauxFaux: of course not :)

lol

but voting gives me stuff to edit!

agreed... and very true cooperaa :)

all these people leave the easy work for me - guess all and relating proof urls :D

plus, I'd rather waste some time keeping crud out, then have to fight to get rid of it later :D

heh

plus plus: its voting that brings attention to stuff in artists I'm subscribed to that is messy or incomplete - otherwise I'd never find out because my albums are tagged

lol

me wishes he a tt problem... WAY too many releases nt in the datase

argh, batteries dying AGAIN??? just changed them last night! :P

FauxFaux: what I do is totally reactive :) I don't go looking for edits, they come right onto my lap when people do weird stuff

It doesn't matter how much stuff there is in the database, so long as the stuff you won is okay. :p

ok, yet more new batteries...

example of fun voting: Liff's edits :)

lol - fun now that we have Jug's script :P

was a pain before, lol

yup

same for gioele, he's fast catching up to liff

speaks Italian.. he's going through fixing every Italian release

many many pages of the same AR to multiple discs of the same release

:/

yeah, I even asked liff how he's doing it

I noticed he takes all of 5 seconds between AR edits

you may have not noticed because of the clutter in your inbox but I also commented on that edit saying "ya, I wanna know too!"

lol

as for me, I just look through the inline stuff, and my scan of the new adds - anything past that, it's me seeing something SO wrong on an add edit, I check to see what else the newbie is up to

cooperaa: By the way... it was suggested to me that, instead of changing status on the pre-release adds, instead change the DQ?

ya I don't like that

lol... /me has actually convice people on changing status edits, can't just do them

it is a waste of time, because by the time the edit to lower DQ passes, the release will be official and we'll have to change it back to default

it is just unproductive

well, but that's true for either type of edit for a non-auto-editor

we should be only raising quality

no, auto-editors cannot change DQ automatically

right - but status? (honestly, not sure if that's on the can be autoedited list or not...)

oh okay

um status "appears" updated right away but yes, an edit will be open for voting

for me, either needs an edit. And the DQ ones are easier to defend than the status ones

BUT if we made it part of the guideline to enter "forthcoming" releases as bootlegs until they are official we could quote that and it would be entered at add time

we cannot change quality at add time

right

but what use is LowQ anyways?

but you know the only people really normally adding these before release day are also the same ones who won't read the guidelines anyhow

(other than for forthcoming releases)

(that's not true, I add them a lot :D )

lol

well, a lot = sometimes

:) I don't think there's anything wrong with them... the recordings exist, many on actual CDs that people have

well, you managed to convice me they ought not to be just voted down for not being released yet

point in case: my friend gets promos from the radio station all the time... he had Trivium's crusade 2-3 weeks early and it ended up being the same tracklist as the official

case in point?

dammit

but I think something needs to be set on them, else they get mixed in and things get confusing

I agree

case in point: Black Light Burns' new album

the advance went around a month before release

tracklist was correct, but what noone seems to have noticed is that track 5 just ends 30 seconds in

obviously not a correct time for the actual release.

that's a simple fix. But I also have seen some where we have 4 or 5 of the same advance, each different in tracklist based on the torrent it came from

makes for a "BigMess" once the thing actually comes out

well 4 or 5 tracklists should never happen

lol... one band recently actually had 10 different versions of the advance cut and shipped

post-release, figuring out which are which and what is what is a mess there :P

I figure the lower DQ, with the 4 day instead of 14 days edit wait

it's easier to clean up after, then set back to normal

ugh I don't want to go backwards, it seems so... counterproductive

everything should be entered LQ and then raised up
