I need to change the filesystem on my external drive, fat32 is driving me nuts

but I can't decide which to use :/

cross-platform compatability for other file systems isn't exactly great

I only need linux and osx

nikki: xfs

what do i do with an excerpt from a poem that's been given its own "track name"?

Listen to it?

two tracks in one you mean?

no, i mean you have the poem, with a single title and no "sub-chapters"

then some guy records an excerpt from it and names the track with a name never used before

which does indeed tell the part of the poem that's been excerpted...

just roll with whatever he's named it I guess

"My never-used before title" (from Poem Title)

^^ ugly..

Poem Title: "Never-used before title" <-- less ugly, but rather dumb

"Never-used before title" (previously unissued title) ;-)

I presume you have no other track to link it to?

:P

I have lots of tracks to (not) link it to :)

or to answer your question, there is one more excerpt from that poem, and has nothing to do with the order they're in, or percentage of the poem they cover

so the track titles here (as far as the poem excerpts are concerned) are only to pinpoint the part where it's excerpted from... but nevertheless they're the "release track titles"

and then again, there's the odd fully reproduced sonnet

and they called the track: "When to the sessions" (Sonnet No.30)

So use those track titles and annotate the release / tracks properly.

the beginning of sonnet 30's being: When to the sessions of sweet silent thought....

srotta: define annotate

Free-text annotations.

as in, define what you'd expect to read in such an annotation :P

Just say "Tracks are excerpts from Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning".

rofl

since all but one track names are the exact starting lyrics, i'd rather find a way to use the poem name as the "main part" of the track title

e.g. Sonnet No. 1052 ["Pretty lyrics here"]

.. or something

and Big Work, Act IV Scene 2: ["Some other lyrics"]

alastair is now known as Guest37621

Big Work, Act IV, Scene II. "Lyrics" would be closer to OperaTrackStyle

i wanted to use the colon to point out it's an excerpt

xlotlu: err, why do you want them?

because those lyrics excerpts are not really titles..

or maybe they should be "Lyrics excerpt [...]"

now i remember why i stopped entering these damned julian bream releases a while ago :)

as there's no style guide for this, I guess you can do whatever you want :P

I wouldn't put _that much_ thought in it

there we go. whatta mess :) http://musicbrainz.org/release/099c35d2-cf01-4f...

I'm so voting no on that

good, then you're welcome to enter it yourself :P

good grief what a cover :p

you have to say "voting NO", otherwise people don't see it

luks: some time when you get a chance, i'd like to ask you to look at another crash. it appears to be a memory leak in picard...

Wizzcat: damn, you voted before my second comment :P

NO, NO, NO, NOWAY, voting NO!

OH DEAR GOD *NO*

I can change it to no if that'll make you feel better ;)

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey stop that whoever's editing my release

good job btw, I hate it when labels do stupid things like that tracklist

damn it :)

the simple "No" on the edit pages should be changed to "<strong>NO</strong>"

<strong><em> for good measure

can i get some votes for this please? http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=9076790

s/no/<strong>NOES!1</strong>/

:P

since i have no clue how well the MB server deals with data integrity when merging ASINs..

voted yes, even though I could just approve it :P

now xlotlu has to wait two minutes

automods can fast-track other peoples edits as well?

one minute i.e.

no, Wizzcat has to wait 1 minute, and then add that ASIN as well

Wizzcat: you can approve (apply immediately) all edits that are autoedits for autoeditors

so pretty much every edit that doesn't remove or merge something

if it has no votes as well?

yes

yikes

yes. But you wouldn't do that :)

but you have to leave a note

or you'd have to have a reason for it ;)

the idea is basically that if you're an autoeditor, you could simply do the edit yourself and end up making the original edit fail

voice did that to me once :(

heh, it's happened to me a few times too

think it's happened to everyone

jherm: did you and ruaok succeed with your picard packaging on the mac?

How should I enter http://www.discogs.com/release/1363736 ?

Given it's a re-release of his previous albums, which we appear to have: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/054b0483-eeb8-48c...

i wonder if it's legal under fair use to cache 10 seconds of a track at low quality

xlotlu: that statement needs a bit more context to answer i think.

hey warp!

as in... picard sending along with the puid submission a low quality small part of the track

xlotlu: why?

In Finland that would be obviously illegal. Same goes for other Nordic countries, and I'd guess Netherlands and Germany as well.

outsidecontext: if would be helpful in sorting out messed up puid assignments

Ah, I read it wrong, don't know what I was really thinking. Don't know if it matters, though. :P

xlotlu: how? the audio/puid pair would always match but could still be assigned to the wrong track

outsidecontext: If you had a list of PUID/audio pairs you could listen if they really sound the same.

So yeah, that could help identifying wrong PUIDs. I don't know if it would be worh the trouble, though, and a lot would depend on the actual implementation.

I'd still like special puids generated from and linked to a cd toc

outsidecontext: common scenario: i have a piano concerto track with 4 puids. one of these puids is also assigned to a violin concerto

aCiD2, i'm really getting there with a comprehensive track details plugin: http://futurepast.free.fr/mb-lastfm-info.jpg

but too bad i still can't decipher the instruments :(

deadchip: still, looking awesome :)

:)

thanks

is there anyway I can try it out?

xlotlu: i see the point. at first i thought you had some automatic removal of wrong puids in mind

i wish i did :)

:)

aCiD2, you'd need to compile it from source on Linux

i don't mind that

as long as you have a sane build chain :P

yeah

aCiD2, http://mpx.backtrace.info/

We recommend Picard \o/

yeah :D

deadchip: why the change from bmpx to mpx?

LotR, it's a different app

aCiD2, i also wrote a dedicated tagcloud widget: http://futurepast.free.fr/mpx-tagcloud.jpg

oh. it looks very similar

yeah but it's definitely different when you use it

just realized it myself laast night

tag clouds are so sexy

yeah lol

"i f-ing love this track"

hmm maybe i should limit the number of tags to 100 or so

because on THAT screenshot

they're way too many

oh it is simple believe me

i don't think there are too many

I think more is better with tags

deadchip: with simple I mean without features like you're showing off now :)

LotR, even if they "just" work and if you want can ignore them?

LotR: mpd?

aCiD2, btw it also automatically PUID-scans files not tagged so the full set of info is also available for them, given they have a PUID association

neato

though i seldom use puids

deadchip: yes. they still take up window real estate

well nikki that player understands album artists
