hi

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?

no, "album"

hmm... okay, will fix it

done... http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7702823 and http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7702824

Citizen: release names look like a compilation to me

I guess proper names would be ''Too Much History (disc 1: The Electro Years)'' and ''Too Much History (disc 2: The Metal Years)''

the cover says 'Vol. 1 - The Electro Years'....

i have the two CD version, but you can get each CD on it's own as well

that's why i added the (disc 1) and (disc 2)

oh. probably would have left the disc number out then.

and it seems like disc 1 is slightly different from my 2-cd-release than the 1-cd release... i miss a hidden track :(

:)

that's why i kept the (disc 1) and (disc 2)... maybe the 1-cd-release contains one more track

good, I guess you are the expert on that, having it and all :)

:)

nah, I'm just playing Frets on Fire and drinking beer, please ignore me =D

have fun

Ponies!

no ponies here, only reindeer..

what ARs should i add between the original songs and the new versions on this new release?

here it's more cows

earliest version if rerecorded.

okay, thanks... http://musicbrainz.org/release/4cd20df8-58a2-49... looks good :)

if the earlier version is on a single and on the album... which one should i use?

I'd say album, if the release date of the single isn't much earlier.

*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

and still there might not be the earliest release in the database :/

right, that can happen also

but this artist is quite complete in the database

okay... enough musicbraining for me... good night

lol

heh. at least someone is looking out for me. :-)

how are things in the netherlands this morning?

a bit cold

speech still free, stoopwafels still goopy?

*misses

MBChatLogger: off

is not logging

is logging

the government is trying to outlaw psychadelic mushrooms and watching (instead of having) childporn.

hmmm, so all they have to do is hire a truck, play childporn, drive it down the street, and they can arrest everyone?

heard about the former, the latter seems, silly.

brianfreud: something like that, yes.

brianfreud, what's "argh" about it?

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.

I don't think he ever used a MB tagger

he did

picardqt actually, from what he told me in pms several months back

speaking of which, I really need to do a release today

yay! :)

had to revert back to a11 for checking submitted puids... a14 just wasn't stable enough for what I needed

and will name it 0.9b just for the fun :)

are discs containing spoken passages/speeches/etc considered under the domain of musicbrainz?

beta, seriously?

luks: yay!

yes

TRMs, you just got your 91 day warning... :)

Bartman007, yes

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

wow. there are still lots and lots of people who think that classic tagger is the shit

I think, once PicardQT isn't hidden in the wiki, that opinion will quickly change...

it will help, yes.

it won't change for people who just want to set artist/title in their tags, ignoring albums

ruaok: there are always people that think something is "the shit" until a better thing comes along.

but classic is still a track oriented tagger, whereas picard is release oriented.

luks: ding!

but that's the next step once I release this

yeah, we gotta make people see that picard qt is it.

what's that luks?

luks, a "flat" view?

a dumb tagger that won't save MB IDs to tags, but will only try to "fix tags"

basically a simplified classic tagger

interesting concept.

similar to something I heard earlier today (yesterday)

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?

now there are two classes of users. those who can tolerate full MB and those who.... want clean tags

brianfreud, well the reason for not saving MB IDs here is different, the tagging won't be accurate

oh, I get what you mean

don't cross index crap.

and even a best guess tagger today would do so much better than classic.

classic is laughable.

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

hey, it was good at the time :)

things evolve

tell that to all those still using it. :)

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..."

does the classic tagger have any ability for us to send it a message?

ya know, that line didn't strike quite like that when I first read it.

but pasted in this context its a little whacky.

ah, that jumped out at me more than anything in there

brianfreud: your sleep schedule is way more borked than mine...

yeah... much as I try to adapt to 24 hour days, I tend to get into 36 hour ones...

woah.

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

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.

I might be sleeping.

lol

or drunk like a Muz

lol

1L H20 down, 1 for the road.
