I love VA comps. I collect them
2007-04-21 11135, 2007
BrianFreud
I don't expect PicardQT to match each track in a VA album back to its original album,
2007-04-21 11138, 2007
cooperaa
because I will never in my life own all those cds from 1959
2007-04-21 11140, 2007
BrianFreud
if I want it, I can move it

CDs from 1959? ;)

what's so wrong about asking someone who wants a Top 40 hits album to move the tracks by hand out of the albums too?
2007-04-21 11139, 2007
BrianFreud
If I have to break my releases manually, just on personal preference, that's reason to screw up the db
2007-04-21 11145, 2007
BrianFreud
and the same holds true in reverse
2007-04-21 11148, 2007
mudcrow
but theres 1000's of official compilations cataloguing that era, why add bootlegs that contain tracks that are widely availble on 1000's ot other releases
2007-04-21 11159, 2007
BrianFreud
*/that's NO reason I meant to say
2007-04-21 11111, 2007
cooperaa
because those releases aren't as widely available as the torrent is
2007-04-21 11113, 2007
BrianFreud
that's exactly my point
2007-04-21 11118, 2007
BrianFreud
so?
2007-04-21 11120, 2007
BrianFreud
like I say
2007-04-21 11127, 2007
cooperaa
all those silly compilations, maybe 10 people on earth own
2007-04-21 11133, 2007
BrianFreud
let them ID the tracks, then manually move them back together
2007-04-21 11135, 2007
cooperaa
thousands of people "own" these torrents
2007-04-21 11142, 2007

BrianFreud: it isn't that easy
2007-04-21 11143, 2007

mudcrow: apparantly enough people prefer this particular bootleg compilation.
2007-04-21 11144, 2007
BrianFreud
just like I take the VA compilation and manually move it apart
2007-04-21 11145, 2007

lol
2007-04-21 11145, 2007

so it doesn't get tagged that way
2007-04-21 11145, 2007
warp nods.
2007-04-21 11145, 2007
BrianFreud
So Cooperaa, if the 5 or 6 of us talking right now were to decide on our top 10 tracks and create a "Best of MB IRC April21" compilation, that would be worthy of entry?
2007-04-21 11145, 2007
mudcrow
exactly coop

Is the XML WebService having problems right now? Or, is the database down?
2007-04-21 11120, 2007
BrianFreud suddenly imagines opening up XYZ latest pop artist, only to see 1000's of homebrew comps listed
2007-04-21 11136, 2007
cooperaa
no, I don't think they should be compilations
2007-04-21 11141, 2007

database is down/dying errorlevel

Oh, okay.

I don't think we can handle them currently
2007-04-21 11158, 2007
cooperaa
but I think they would be good to have

On the plus side, at least this is helping me test out the error-handling code in my application. =)

Live vs. Compilation is such an overloaded single choice field...
2007-04-21 11132, 2007
cooperaa
BrianFreud: they could be like torrents, if someone doesn't tag against the release in 6 months, kill it or something
2007-04-21 11141, 2007
cooperaa
although, then we're deleting history :P
2007-04-21 11153, 2007

2007-04-21 11155, 2007

actually, that's what I was just thinking is kind of the standard imho
2007-04-21 11156, 2007
mudcrow
the alternative times should probably be accepted as valid bootlegs, but if they are, where do you draw the line between whats an acceptable bootleg and millions of homebrew comps
2007-04-21 11107, 2007
BrianFreud
"will this release even exist 6 months from now"
2007-04-21 11117, 2007

a torrent'd bootleg of a concert, definately
2007-04-21 11121, 2007
cooperaa
its a very good point
2007-04-21 11124, 2007
BrianFreud
some homebrew? maybe, maybe not
2007-04-21 11130, 2007

some torrents last several years on a single tracker though
2007-04-21 11139, 2007

whenever I download a bootleg. I always consider its value for entering into MB. The number consideration is are these tracks widely available on official releases, if yes, it dont get entered
