I've got a few CDs that are unrecognized and when I go to the URL for them, it says "No release found with the given DiscID foo. Please try again." (with the discid). Usually there's a link to add the release info, but for 3-4 so far that's not there. I can't seem to find any solutions to this online, anyone have any ideas?

you can't find the cds when searching?

some I can, some I can't

if I take the disc ID it gives me on that page, is there a link to click on on the release page that will let me add it?

it's weird that the regular "Attach TOC to release" stuff isn't on the page, wondering if something I'm doing is broken or what

good moaning

morning catcat

hello

nikki_ is now known as nikki

what's the proper AR for someone reading poetry?

vocal?

other vocal should fit well imo

or well enough

well, i've been hurrying with my issues, that's the least of them :)

track title style is way more... interesting

Sonnet No. 61 "Is it thy will?" <-- how does that look?

ok

what about....

King Henry VIII, Act III, Scene 1: "Orpheus with his lute"

I did such a thing recently http://musicbrainz.org/release/59c44468-a000-40... I was going by the booklet most of the time. Style guides don't really cover all that anyway

Write up a style guide for it then!

I'd go insane trying

wish I had more time, so many things that should have guides

like reading liners, goddamn things

guess i'll do it pretty much like that then

errm... Cymbeline: Act IV. Scene 2. Dirge for Fidele: "Fear no more"

xlotlu: yep, bad thing. nearly nobody noticed it, but was part of the g8 summit. wiki leaks had something about it

guess it's time to encrypt my hdd and be ready to swallow the usb pen with the encryption key :)

you have to be a bit daft to get caught to be honest

it's alle very unclear at the moment, but if they really search my mp3 player at the customs, how do the differentiate legal from illegal files?

very low coverage on groklaw too... only an external link last week

Down with DRM!

outsidecontext: it's obvious: if it isn't drm-ed it's illegal! :P

i guess that's how it will be handled :(

they'd have to make ripping illegal first

it is technically in some countries afaik

you can also buy legal copies at amazon etc.

Down with DRM!

without drm

That just means Amazon will have to stop that kind of disruptive behavior.

haha

oh well, guess someone will just have to develop an encrypted file system for rockbox

yeah, but even if it is legal: i normally don't carry my cd collection around. i bet some overeager custom officers will make trouble.

And I don't have all the music I have in mp3 library in my cd collection.

Wizzcat: if you visit the US you *do* have to tell them your encryption key if they ask for it

And they're perfectly legal.

you can always fake a real file system, they won't notice the difference

or just nuke your library every time and ssh it over, not like it takes that long these days

they will. unless you run windows of course

srotta: that's the point. purchased and free donwloads, creative commons licenses etc. it's all legal, but could casue trouble under such regulations

the extremes you lot go to, surely you all own you whole media collection so there is no problem

;)

I'm not sure they'd get far with these things, but most people can't afford to challenge them

outsidecontext: Well, mine are copied from library.

aCiD2: but how do you prove to them that you own it?

outsidecontext: But yeah.

Wizzcat: not only US ^^ :)

nikki: generally it's easy to prove you own something than you don't.

but either way, it's a rediculous policy, and I hope it never comes to light

but without carrying your entire collection with you, you can't easily prove it there and then, so fuck knows how much hassle they'd give you before you get a chance to prove it

that's what i fear

And still, not owning something doesn't mean your copy is illegal.

It's lot harder to prove you own something immaterial.

indeed

That's one problem with, for example, digital photographs. If you see your picture used without permission, it may be pretty hard to prove you've actually taken that picture.

I wonder how much effort they would put into it anyway...

Probably not much.

8)

would they bother trying to understand all my japanese filenames?

Unless pushed to it.

presumably they will have some automagic hardware to scan/fingerprint your audio

nikki: not from your country of origin. definitley stolen!

I know a guy who got a customs officer following him home, because he had a huge backpack full of camera equipment and that officer decided he's bought it all abroad and tries to smuggle it in.

heh

funnily enough, I own way more japanese music than english music

Wizzcat: I would actually imagine them having some stupid tool which only works with specific filesystems/operating systems/directory structures because officials are never any good at implementing something that works like they say it does :P

oh, and music formats too

well, usb and fat32 will get you a long way these days

are you supposed to use honorary titles in artist names? ("Sir" etc..)
