lauri: Now, let's see if that jesus dude even realises that there has been a merge... :p
2008-03-21 08130, 2008
zoke
but I think some of the TOC's are incorrect, because for releases that already had track times in them, they don't add up to the toc from cdbaby
2008-03-21 08151, 2008
BrianFreud
minorly, or majorly?

minor I wouldn't worry about too much... major on the other hand :P

maybe one of you work up from the bottom instead?
2008-03-21 08100, 2008
lauri_
that's the plan :)
2008-03-21 08118, 2008

i'll probably sidetrack and import other albums by the artists if i can manage
2008-03-21 08132, 2008

cos i do so like this wee script

lauri: yeah, when I need to test things, I find it's fater to grab a random release at CD Baby and import it, rather than searching to find random existing release :P

BrianFreud, I don't think your script should import label, because most of the time there is no label
2008-03-21 08156, 2008
ojnkpjg
or it's wrong
2008-03-21 08107, 2008
pbryan
If a person wrote music & lyrics to a track, must I show composer & lyricist?
2008-03-21 08111, 2008
lauri_
yeah, i have been ripping the label out of most of them
2008-03-21 08111, 2008
pbryan
Or is composer sufficient?
2008-03-21 08130, 2008
yllona has quit
2008-03-21 08136, 2008
BrianFreud
it's just using the info the artists provided - I leave it to be deleted by the script user, rather than potentially missing label info we easily could have snagged
2008-03-21 08146, 2008
lauri_
pbryan: i do both, in lieu of a 'wrote' AR that we don't have, since that's what most rock tracks are credited as
2008-03-21 08117, 2008
ojnkpjg
doesn't it only give copyright?
2008-03-21 08126, 2008
zoke
true BrianFreud, however I have realized that I have added really weird labels to MB
2008-03-21 08129, 2008
BrianFreud
it gives a mishmash
2008-03-21 08136, 2008
pbryan
thanks lauri_.
2008-03-21 08147, 2008
ojnkpjg
oh, btw, i noticed some weirdness with the script
2008-03-21 08149, 2008
BrianFreud
a lot of the listings I've looked at over there, they do give the C to the label
2008-03-21 08151, 2008
BrianFreud
oh?
2008-03-21 08100, 2008
ojnkpjg
if i've used it, then import a toc from a cd i have, there's leftover state
2008-03-21 08105, 2008
ojnkpjg
and it tries to do things it shouldn't
2008-03-21 08110, 2008
ojnkpjg
same with adding an AR to a release
2008-03-21 08118, 2008
lauri_
yeah, i have had quite a few pick up the label, but it's few of them
2008-03-21 08124, 2008
ojnkpjg
seems to be leftover state that causes it to automatically do stuff it shouldn't
2008-03-21 08133, 2008
ojnkpjg
it always fails, so nothing bad gets in, but it's confusing
2008-03-21 08142, 2008
BrianFreud
hmmm, it shouldn't; it kicks the state ahead a few steps to pull that off. Any idea what it's trying to still do?
2008-03-21 08100, 2008
ojnkpjg
let me see if i can make it happen
2008-03-21 08153, 2008
BrianFreud
that was the biggest annoyance with the script; it has so many steps, making sure they all happened, and only in the right order, and that they cleared cleanly if you broke off midway or skipped ahead... *bleh*
2008-03-21 08105, 2008
ojnkpjg
i think maybe what's confusing it is if you only import a TOC
2008-03-21 08119, 2008
ojnkpjg
i.e., the release is there
2008-03-21 08126, 2008
zoke
BrianFreud, one more suggestion, you should integrate your amazon script to the cdbaby one since 99% of cdbaby pages have the UPC
2008-03-21 08116, 2008
BrianFreud
zoke: I kept anything AZN-related out of the CD Baby script to avoid potentially offending Derek at CD Baby :)

So I'm considering linking all of Bleep's releases to MusicBrainz - think it's worth letting Bleep know?
2008-03-21 08140, 2008

And BrianFreud, I'm finally going to succomb to the Greasemonkey-editor revolution and make a script ;)
2008-03-21 08146, 2008
BrianFreud
:)
2008-03-21 08152, 2008
ojnkpjg
ok, so anytime i try to enter a URL AR now the script makes the browser do something
2008-03-21 08101, 2008
ojnkpjg
i guess i could run a sniffer and figure out exactly what it tries to post

ojnkpjg: since you're running FF3, how well do the various scripts run under GM beta for FF3 beta? Any funky errors?
2008-03-21 08110, 2008
ojnkpjg
nope
2008-03-21 08124, 2008
ojnkpjg
i'm mostly using firefox 2 still
2008-03-21 08136, 2008
ojnkpjg
because it's still set as my default browser
2008-03-21 08151, 2008
ojnkpjg
but everything still seems to work ok on ff3
2008-03-21 08103, 2008
BrianFreud
good to hear. I've been avoiding FF3 until GM was stable
2008-03-21 08111, 2008

it really blows ff2 out of the water in about every way

tempting to put what yllona wrote on the collab artist style guideline, if i could find such a thing
2008-03-21 08137, 2008
lauri_
and you know, I can't actually find a guideline anywhere that says "don't duplicate artists that are _exactly_ the same"? Not that I've ever needed one before

ojnkpjg, since the list is yours do you mind doing a rehash ?

lauri_: prob would be just under panda's favorite non-written guideline "don't overthink the problem"
2008-03-21 08150, 2008
lauri_
well, exactly, that's why i've never needed one before, it's simple common sense
2008-03-21 08152, 2008

now that, lol, that's a nice clean principle :D

do you run a script on a local copy of the database or can the webservice spit this out ?

i'd loooooove one for juno.co.uk
2008-03-21 08136, 2008

zoke, local db
2008-03-21 08144, 2008
BrianFreud
juno still exists?
2008-03-21 08151, 2008
lauri_
they cover all the dance/dj/techno/white label stuff nobody else does
2008-03-21 08153, 2008
BrianFreud
ah
2008-03-21 08105, 2008
lauri_
and front _and_ back cover scans, so they're a great resource
2008-03-21 08110, 2008

personally, I'd love one for Naxos, but I'm holding off on that until there's work lists it can tie to
2008-03-21 08121, 2008

heh, probably not that juno (the email service one?)
2008-03-21 08130, 2008

in that niche, nobody touches em
2008-03-21 08132, 2008
BrianFreud
let me take a look; prob wouldn't be too difficult to adjust the 8bitpeoples one for them
2008-03-21 08138, 2008
lauri_
and since it's a niche where everyone puts out albums 43 times a year
2008-03-21 08144, 2008
lauri_
that's quite a big niche :=)
2008-03-21 08137, 2008
ojnkpjg
i think only venetian snares puts out 43 albums a year
