http://musicbrainz.org/show/label/?labelid=9690 and http://musicbrainz.org/show/label/?labelid=19448 look to be the same too... well, one has the discogs link for the name of the other... so I guess so...

heh, and one has entries from after it was renamed

chefkoch_ is now known as chefkoch

should i tag things like (original mix) or (original version) ? i dont see anything about it in wiki. sometimes it's written in the tracklist if there are a bunch of remixes, but it seems senseless

anyone have the new tittsworth album on CD?

i wonder what the (feat.) artist data is like

12 steps? dont have the cd :/

i'll be looking for it on discogs first tho prolly

yeah 12 steps

i forget that website that sells CDs and shows the front and back covers

Amazon? lol

juno

i can't seem to get rid of an underscore in a filename

anyone care to take a look at my script?

What are you trying to do?

just simple file renaming, but for some reason a song title with a question mark always gets turned into an underscore

despite my $replace

Well I can try taking a look

this is the whole thing

$replace($if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/$if(%date%,\($left(%date%,4)\) )%album%/$if(%discnumber%,%album% \(disc $if($gte(%discnumber%,10),$if($lt(%discnumber%,10),0))%discnumber%\))$if(%discsubtitle%, - %discsubtitle%)/$num(%tracknumber%,2) - $replace($replace(%title%,...,�),/,-),_,)

$replace(blahblah,_,)

Man I'm looking at it...and my mind is starting to hurt lol

Have you tried $replace(blahblah,_, )

ahah

yeah

too much going on.. probably choking on the complexity somewhere

the replace is working if i try different characters

like if i just do %artist%/%album%/$replace(%title%,_, )

that doesnt get rid of it either

so maybe not fixable

seems like the automatic replacing of windows-incompatible chars is being applied after my script is run

but i thought that was changed/fixed awhile ago

=\

Wouldn't know anything about that

ah

Hang on..I think you're missing a )

you can't replace _, but you can replace specific characters

Ook..maybe not lol

in 0.10, that is

foobar 0.10?

picard

Wow see I'm so confused right now

I need to go bed, i'm forgetting what channel I'm in

haha

I was thinking that the windows incompatible chars all got converted to underscores

and then it was up to a script to replace them

yes, but that happens after the script runs

so my song title with a question mark is getting changed to _

and my script, for some reason, isn't wiping that underscore

is the file renaming script different than the advanced scripting in terms of when it's run?

because the time the script runs, it's still ?

ahh

right

it was different in 0.9, but people wanted to be able to replace specific characters

i haven't updated my scripts since it was run before the script

yeah

hrm

so i'd have to basically duplicate the functionality of the program

if i want the same result as 0.9

regex for incompatible chars and get rid of them myself

$rreplace(...,["*:<>?|],) should do the trick, I think

yea

guess it's a tradeoff

whew

glad that's working finally

thanks :)

np :)

should throw that up somewhere on the wiki

since most of the examples for achieving this still use $replace(...,_,)

btw, does the $gte/$lt do anything different than $num(%discnumber%,2)?

actually, it seems to be always false

good question

i'm revisiting this from awhile ago

you check for >10 and then for <10 if >10 is true

I mean >=10

o

it's adding a leading 0

so disc 10, disc 011?

i guess

man what the hell was I trying to do

yeah I guess it's just adding a leading 0 to every disc number over 10

can't remember why I needed that

so like

imagine media player software with built in musicbrainz support

do you think it would be prohibitive to have some sort of

dynamic, automatic tag updating

regular musicbrainz DB querying and automatic updating of music library tags

I can't wait

as an alternative to the current tagging workflow of

dropping in musicbrainz and tagging and saving

might be a little unwieldy

people with 100+ gig collections

Well thats why it should actually go the other way around, Once a month musicbrainz should send you a notice (email or directly to the media player) with all the albums that changed in that month, because Picard should tell mb which albums you've imported and saved into your collection

ah yea

i guess the feature would basically exist as error/accident correction

the music would be tagged and saved like it is now using picard

but maybe regular query to check metadata integrity with the db

like if you accidentally renamed or mistagged with another program
