i just added a release, but i'm still not sure if i used the right release type. it's a best of release but all tracks were recorded again in a more modern style. i set it to 'remix', is that correct?
if the earlier version is on a single and on the album... which one should i use?
Jormangeud^
I'd say album, if the release date of the single isn't much earlier.
Citizen
*sigh* or there are two versions of an old album, both have the early version... with which should i create the AR ?
okay... i will check the release dates

Jormangeud^
and still there might not be the earliest release in the database :/
Citizen
right, that can happen also
but this artist is quite complete in the database
okay... enough musicbraining for me... good night

how are things in the netherlands this morning?

the government is trying to outlaw psychadelic mushrooms and watching (instead of having) childporn.
brianfreud
hmmm, so all they have to do is hire a truck, play childporn, drive it down the street, and they can arrest everyone?
ruaok
heard about the former, the latter seems, silly.
warp
brianfreud: something like that, yes.
luks
brianfreud, what's "argh" about it?
warp off to the supermarket

I just have a basic disagreement there on MB philosophy. I see his changing, but don't yet see it consistantly changed from the "everything ought to be made friendly to the tagger, even if it means a detriment to the data" view.
Shepard` joined the channel
I just hope to be proven wrong though now :)
luks
I don't think he ever used a MB tagger
brianfreud
he did
picardqt actually, from what he told me in pms several months back
luks
speaking of which, I really need to do a release today
brianfreud
yay! :)
had to revert back to a11 for checking submitted puids... a14 just wasn't stable enough for what I needed
luks
and will name it 0.9b just for the fun :)
Bartman007
are discs containing spoken passages/speeches/etc considered under the domain of musicbrainz?
brianfreud
beta, seriously?
Bartman007
luks: yay!
luks
yes
brianfreud
TRMs, you just got your 91 day warning... :)
luks
Bartman007, yes
Bartman007 looks on the wiki for naming conventions :-)
brianfreud
luks, before you put up the windows version, since there's not been a windows test version since your rewrite, if you want to send me a copy, I'll dump a few thousand files/folders on it, make sure the crashing issue is gone before .9b is "public"...
crashing on loading, I mean
ruaok watches history unfold
ruaok
wow. there are still lots and lots of people who think that classic tagger is the shit
ruaok doesn't understand that
brianfreud
I think, once PicardQT isn't hidden in the wiki, that opinion will quickly change...
ruaok
it will help, yes.
luks
it won't change for people who just want to set artist/title in their tags, ignoring albums
Bartman007
ruaok: there are always people that think something is "the shit" until a better thing comes along.
ruaok
but classic is still a track oriented tagger, whereas picard is release oriented.
luks: ding!
luks
but that's the next step once I release this
ruaok
yeah, we gotta make people see that picard qt is it.
what's that luks?
brianfreud
luks, a "flat" view?
luks
a dumb tagger that won't save MB IDs to tags, but will only try to "fix tags"
basically a simplified classic tagger
ruaok
interesting concept.
similar to something I heard earlier today (yesterday)
brianfreud
I've seen the few whines elsewhere about "those damn junk tags MB writes to my files"... but I really don't get it... It's what, 4 tiny tags, and they make the files that much easier to get more info on, if you want it?
ruaok
now there are two classes of users. those who can tolerate full MB and those who.... want clean tags
luks
brianfreud, well the reason for not saving MB IDs here is different, the tagging won't be accurate
brianfreud
oh, I get what you mean
ruaok
don't cross index crap.
and even a best guess tagger today would do so much better than classic.
classic is laughable.
brianfreud
that seems good... when I switched from classic to picard, I was shocked how many releases had been split-tagged to 4, 5, 6 different versions via classic
ruaok hangs his head in shame
hey, it was good at the time :)
things evolve
ruaok
tell that to all those still using it. :)
brianfreud
lol, "After five years of using the program, I haven't been able to get my classic tagger to work for almost two weeks now..."
ruaok runs
does the classic tagger have any ability for us to send it a message?
ruaok
ya know, that line didn't strike quite like that when I first read it.
but pasted in this context its a little whacky.
brianfreud
ah, that jumped out at me more than anything in there
ruaok
brianfreud: your sleep schedule is way more borked than mine...
brianfreud
yeah... much as I try to adapt to 24 hour days, I tend to get into 36 hour ones...

27 hours would be good. 28 too.
but it gets too difficult to sync with friends...
sorry, I can't tell you if I can have dinner on the 21st.
