sounds sorta familiar

its VERY Canadian...quite funny

cooperaa: you prob have old version, I asked the same - his latest has that in it :)

oh thanks BrianFreud

ugh @ http://musicbrainz.org/release/dc15127a-777e-41...

what do you guys think about using a youtube video of a live performance of a song as the proof for a lead vocals AR?

http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7030775 Y-bomb please

is it the same recording?

it's pretty inventive, creative

hmmm, amazing release there... only 116 minutes long, not counting the unknown time track :P

no, a live performance as proof of a studio recording...but same person singing

cooperaa: the video track mentioned on that discogs page isn't [silence] and has a different track length

person who added it from discogs said they didn't know what to put cuz it was the video so they entered silence

but what about the difference in track lengths? 12:29 vs 3:52

no idea

maybe they added it from a disc id

no, I really have no clue

data doesnt always have the same track time?

that's what I thought...

it should

depends on how much data,right?

if you're reading it as audio, a video would appear longer since it's much bigger

yeah

that doesn't make sense to me

hmm, on FreeDB the track title is just blank

also depends on wehre the data is or how much gap it has

what sort of program would just blindly translate megabytes into a track length?

one that sucks

megabytes = space on disc = disc id

Jugdish, I'm curious... on the voting screen, the data that's hidden, it's still there, right?

the data that's hidden?

you know how you can click a release to "expand" it out?

oh yeah

the little arrow button

yes it's there, it's just made invisible via CSS

would it be hard to, I don't know, turn the release text background red if release event date >current date?

when i load an edit list i originally see all the expanded releases as it's loading, then they all collapse once the javascript kicks in

help catch all these "entered before released" ones?

no, that wouldn't be hard

I'm going through hitting all the no note ones now

but those are my next pass through

i don't personally have a problem with future releases so long as they have track lengths and puids, that's a good indication it got leaked and the data being entered isn't pure speculation

Ugh, I see so many post-release edits to fix things, etc

minimally, they ought not to be set to "official" - they're from an advance promo copy, or whatever

we desperately need a better way to classify/handle internet leaks, we can't just ignore that they exist

well if it was added from a promo and the final tracklisting is different, a new release should be added

old one kept as promo

that's my sense

i agree with that

but I like the set as bootleg for now

if it gets added as official I vote no, unless the status is changed and the info rock solid

good god.... 4 more pages to go of my subscribes

Jugdish: you know the AR greasemonkey script?

yeah?

did you set that one up?

yes, I see you did on userscripts :)

the AR disambiguation one?

when setting "X is the earliest release of Y" can you make it include the first release event?

yup, that one

yeah

that'd be cool

only under that condition though?

only for albums or for tracks too?

ummm

is it always needed?

I just thought it would be useful for that case

but it may be for others

woot! only 1150 release edits to go! :)

you said 1178 a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago :)

lol, yeah, but we've been getting 20 new ones every 10 miunutes tonight :P

haha

nightgroove is now known as catgroove

BrianFreud I'm just this guy, you know? :P <-- uhno

erh bold?

album?? http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7030596

thanks, mate

lol, mo, line from "Adventures of Buckaroo Banzaii"

lol http://musicbrainz.org/release/dc15127a-777e-41... <--? I was looking at that right now

no its not

it is too, I'm sure it is

didn't think so

its line from hitchikers guide to the galaxy

really?

yes

what?

zaphod, yeah

mo, so its a compilation?

gag hefront the braincare specialist saysthis about zaphod beeblebrox

thought it was in buckaroo too

it copuld be. but its not *from there*

I have no idea

lol

i'm tryingto figure out why this guy is http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7027478

what percentage of edits that you ask for proof on do you actually get a response from the editor?

since two days now

about 50

heh

and the other 50 get no's?

yeah

bah i now have very little time left

then about 50% of them come back with urls

goodmorning eberybody

so only 25% get nos in the end

good morning mo :)

:)

catgroove is now known as skolemo

welcome to the party mo

Jugdish: that plugin ought to work on opera, right?

mo so so so needs that plugin

plugin?

the script

i'm not sure, i thought greasemonkey was a FF-only thing

but what do i know O_o

read the second paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrivals_and_Depar...

I know there's an opera thing to run em

what a pain in the ass

actually, side benefit is the text box being nice and normal sized, so you can read what you're typing

i was glad to have those 300 TMBG NATS off my list but some guy voted no and made you resubmit them

thats just rude

lol, blame lauri

if a band intentionally leaks their album, does that constitute a digital release event?

i guess so

plus there's gonna be like 4 versions of that release

if they intentionally leak it, is it then a promo, instead of a bootleg?

gonna have to find some proof it was actually intentionally released first

hmm

stupid bands

I'd first confirm that it was really leaked, and then just add the info to annotation.

apparentlly it was

it's been added to the DB :)

with trms

Yeah, but intentionally?_)

oh, I meant the release - the release event is currently the expected official date

Intentional leak sounds like "we don't plan on recording anymore" :P

maybe someone in the band needed ratio creds at a torrent site?

;p

LOL

what do you think of adding an annotation to leaked albums?

This album is currently set to 'Bootleg' as it was leaked before it's official release date. Once the date has passed, please remove this annotation and change the status to 'Official'.

how about, "YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL"

I doubt they are

they might be

lol ojnkpjg
