how is the general rule when a release has apparently wrong track information on disc and cover and correct ones on discogs?
in another cases the catalog# differs if looked at the disc or the cover. how to represent this?
petros
Go with what is most likely intended. And remember discogs can be wrong too.
BTW. Anybody got the musical "Chess" nearby? I have a feeling there's a wrong tracktitle but my copy is somewhere else, so I can't verify.
srotta
ouTi: If the track info is wrong, and you can verify it, then use the correct info.
At least that's my opinion.
petros
Me too. _Always_ go with _correct_ info :)
mudcrow
i agree with srotta
ouTi
k, good idea to place such corrections into the annotation?

srotta
I've entered one single that has wrong track name in it. The funny thing is, that info is duplicated everywhere - even on some compilations that include the track. The information about the real track is in the performer's biography :P
petros
Why not just put it in the edit note?
mudcrow
yes, ouTi, include an annotation stating the error, hopefully that will stop people trying to correct it
srotta
Hmm, let's clarify. I entered the correct info.
ouTi
k, i'm trying to dig though this mess :)
petros
ouTi: What's the example?
srotta
Yep, use the correct info, and note it in edit and annotation.
ouTi
markus schulz - Ibiza '06 (currently listed as Various Artists release, i'm change this soon)
the thing with different catalog# is markus schulz - amsterdam 08

nothing unusual in a VA release having the wrong titles/wrong tracks

anyone here using foobar who can check something for me ? when I go to properties for an mp3 tagged with MBID I can see album MBID and artist MBID but not track ID ? but if I load the same song in picard the track MBID is there all right, like foobar can't see it or something ?
srotta
Tykling: Foobar doesn't read UFID.
IIRC.
Because it's binary field.
Tykling
UFID is the "track MBID" ?
well ok, as long as it doesn't indicate that something is wrong :)
srotta
Yeah. UFID is a generic field for track identifiers.
Tykling
thank you
petros
I can read trackid in my Foobar.
Tykling
why would it be a binary field and not a text field ? the track is is just hex no ?
srotta
Tykling: Because that's the way it's been defined :P
Tykling
ok :)
petros, what version of foobar is that ?
petros
Newest. 9.5
srotta
It actually has two parts, "domain" and the ID itself. So you can have multiple UFIDs using different ID schemes.
petros
Tykling: Soory. I was chacking a flac-file.
Tykling: Will try mp3
Tykling
ok
petros
No trackid in mp3

any javascripters want to take a look? Been trying to figure this one out for a while, and am obviously missing something
snipped down to just the relevant bits. This works, but throws a "has no properties" error anyhow. Trying to clear the error: http://musicbrainz.pastebin.com/m41f71b7d
FauxFaux
:s
brianfreud
yeah, it says getElementsByClass('info')[1] has no properties - then it goes ahead and uses the properties it says don't exist :P
FauxFaux
You sure that it'll always return at least two elements?
brianfreud
the function? yes
it's targeting the grey box that holds the "Release: [ Link to this" section, just under the orange release title line in a release view.
[0] is the same type of element, around the artist listing at the top of the release page.
what I don't get, though, is how, if it has no properties, is js then actually doing what it should? ie, why does it work correctly AND throw the error?
FauxFaux
:/
Sure it's not something later that's thorwing the error?
brianfreud
yup
that section of code starts the script - everything else later attaches to the Id of an element within PlaygroundNode just fine (no errors).
Tykling
javascript is so very ungrateful to work with/debug, always takes me forever to find an error :(
brianfreud
ignoring lines setting variables, literally, getElementsByClass('info')[1].parentNode.parentNode.appendChild(PlaygroundNode); is the 2nd line of the script. So if it's bork, nothing should show...
