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?
2008-02-16 04721, 2008
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.

ouTi: If the track info is wrong, and you can verify it, then use the correct info.
2008-02-16 04746, 2008
srotta
At least that's my opinion.
2008-02-16 04711, 2008
petros
Me too. _Always_ go with _correct_ info :)

i agree with srotta
2008-02-16 04742, 2008

k, good idea to place such corrections into the annotation?

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
2008-02-16 04726, 2008
petros
Why not just put it in the edit note?
2008-02-16 04748, 2008
mudcrow
yes, ouTi, include an annotation stating the error, hopefully that will stop people trying to correct it
2008-02-16 04754, 2008
srotta
Hmm, let's clarify. I entered the correct info.
2008-02-16 04710, 2008
ouTi
k, i'm trying to dig though this mess :)
2008-02-16 04723, 2008
petros
ouTi: What's the example?
2008-02-16 04736, 2008
srotta
Yep, use the correct info, and note it in edit and annotation.

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 ?
2008-02-16 04723, 2008
srotta
Tykling: Foobar doesn't read UFID.
2008-02-16 04732, 2008
srotta
IIRC.
2008-02-16 04736, 2008
srotta
Because it's binary field.
2008-02-16 04745, 2008
Tykling
UFID is the "track MBID" ?
2008-02-16 04701, 2008
Tykling
well ok, as long as it doesn't indicate that something is wrong :)
2008-02-16 04703, 2008
srotta
Yeah. UFID is a generic field for track identifiers.
2008-02-16 04708, 2008
Tykling
thank you
2008-02-16 04743, 2008
petros
I can read trackid in my Foobar.
2008-02-16 04700, 2008
Tykling
why would it be a binary field and not a text field ? the track is is just hex no ?
2008-02-16 04713, 2008
srotta
Tykling: Because that's the way it's been defined :P
2008-02-16 04723, 2008
Tykling
ok :)
2008-02-16 04732, 2008
Tykling
petros, what version of foobar is that ?
2008-02-16 04740, 2008
petros
Newest. 9.5
2008-02-16 04752, 2008
srotta
It actually has two parts, "domain" and the ID itself. So you can have multiple UFIDs using different ID schemes.

Tykling: Soory. I was chacking a flac-file.
2008-02-16 04728, 2008
petros
Tykling: Will try mp3
2008-02-16 04734, 2008
Tykling
ok
2008-02-16 04751, 2008
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
2008-02-16 04742, 2008
brianfreud
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

:s
2008-02-16 04741, 2008
brianfreud
yeah, it says getElementsByClass('info')[1] has no properties - then it goes ahead and uses the properties it says don't exist :P
2008-02-16 04712, 2008
FauxFaux
You sure that it'll always return at least two elements?
2008-02-16 04720, 2008
brianfreud
the function? yes
2008-02-16 04713, 2008
brianfreud
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.
2008-02-16 04758, 2008
brianfreud
[0] is the same type of element, around the artist listing at the top of the release page.
2008-02-16 04741, 2008
brianfreud
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?
2008-02-16 04759, 2008
FauxFaux
:/
2008-02-16 04718, 2008
FauxFaux
Sure it's not something later that's thorwing the error?
2008-02-16 04715, 2008
brianfreud
yup
2008-02-16 04700, 2008
brianfreud
that section of code starts the script - everything else later attaches to the Id of an element within PlaygroundNode just fine (no errors).
2008-02-16 04744, 2008
Tykling
javascript is so very ungrateful to work with/debug, always takes me forever to find an error :(
2008-02-16 04754, 2008
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...
