My aCiD2 wants to party all the time.

xD

:-)

brb, stupid audio drivers are crackling again

Much better

Whoops, wrong button ^_^

Heady Murphy

ffs, I hate these drivers -_-

what sound card do you have?

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

BrianG - it's the inbuilt macbook one

but the linux drivers seem to crackle through the left channel (known problem) randomly

anyone ever play with Exaile?

I use exaile... but only because I can't get Amarok to work with jackd :(

symphonick: I heard about jack but thought it was the equivilent of ASIO on linux, why do you use JACK?

and BrianG - only heard of, not yet played (love Quod Libet enough as it is :))

i can't get into Quod Libet for some reason

aCiD2, It is. That's why I use it.

But what benefits does it have? I thought it was just low latency - is there more?

BrianG: I like it's rediculous use of my metadata - disc subtitles, track versions, multiple tags

but it is quite minimal (and no gapless play back :/)

aCiD2, low latency is enough for me... & playing sounds from multiple apps at once

Hmm, fair enough :) ALSA seems to do everything I want thus far

BrianG, IMNSHO exaile is butt-ugly & lacking in features

lol

I'm trying it out now

i'm going to try it later tonight

Well, don't say I didn't warn you ;-)

:)

i guess there isn't any music players with ipod touch support yet, eh?

nah, not yet

for linux

Banshee will be first there, I assume

yeah? i used to use Banshee, but i found it aqfully slow

Hmm, I found it pretty nice, just no browser interface

And they ran libipod, then libipodsharp, and now some other ipod library

i like to scroll through my tunes as fast as possible

Banshee is the one big playlist type view, I assume you can scroll fast (seems quite useless otherwise :P)

iirc it was actually slow scroling

been a while since i've used it, i could be mistaken

lol

exaile is taking years to import my music, *yawn*

does Ex Falso use MusicBrainz?

No, but Quod Libet has plugins to query mb

I like ex falso

I tried to get it to work in osx but it wouldn't :/

"Dynamic Shuffle: Shuffles tracks based on Last.FM similar artists" that's pretty cool

ipod touch shuffle is awful

i get 2 artists in a row fairly often

I couldn't do a touch... I like to take my whole library with me (only about 40gb)

8Gb is enough for having it *everywhere*

i wish the touch had the speaker like the iphone has

I quite like Exaile, interface seems quite nice

probably too slim for that...

nikki: what music player do you use on os x?

im sure someone makes speakers thiner than the touch :)

nah, not sticking with exaile, just aint clicking enough with me :P

i think i'll still check it out

Worth checking out

ruaok: play

the command line utility?

no, this: http://sbooth.org/Play/

I don't really like the interface, but it plays flacs and doesn't crash all the time like cog does

and it supports this crazy thing called MusicBrainz. can't be all bad. :)

thanks

hehe

huh, bug #3511 is odd

what's odd about it?

Just odd to see that the server crashes on some queries

But I don't know much, if anything, about lucene

our our search handlers

I'm guessing that something is getting is query syntax confused.

*its

A thought I had while on the bus today... rather than some annotations being really long, maybe have multiple annotations per object? "SubOptimalCredits" "History" "Notes for Editors" came to mind

how would they be displayed?

brb

non-js, each subsection as a == ==, one after the other. js-on, little tabs to flip between them

non-js, each subsection as a == ==, one after the other. js-on, little tabs to flip between them

I'm working on the ARs and history between 1877 and 1929 for the cylinder companies - I have a ton of good material, but esp for Columbia, if the whole history were eventually in there, plus editing notes, plus SOC's, plus other stuff, that's a MASSIVE label annotation

or look at the current Varese Sarabande annotation, which is rather huge.

all good, all useful, but huge

Seems cool, could be done all client side too

right?

how so?

you don't need multiple annotations for that

Well I mean the annotation is the same, the web browser splits it up with javascript to make it more readable

more just text-overload ru

if I pull the label page, seeing 4 pages of history, then 2 pages of editing notes on cat #s and such, then a bunch of SOCs, before I ever get down to release listings... just seems it could be presented cleaner

sure, but it doesn't need multi annotations

just use javascript to present it

and aCiD2, yes, if we had a js scipt that could turn, say, each == == in an annotation into a tab, or whatever, it'd be doable

yup

hmmm, hald tempted to whip up a GM script to do just that :P

or there you go :)

would you use = = or == == as the separator?

= xxx =

err, = xxx =

hmmm, how does that look in the current (non-js) view...

or just * xx:

yeah, = x = looks huge in normal view, I'd use the == x ==

Oh, annotations are formated with the wiki?

cool

yeah

it's not 100% full moin support, but 90% of it works

oh yeah, and I tested - it's not listed anywhere, but our moin version does support __test__ for underline

100% support but 90% functionality... how does that work? :P

what is with you automods and uriah heap...

and I see what you mean

yeah - only ---- works, none of the other separators, URL by itself shows as text, not a link, and not all the list styles work right

oh yes, and most important... no table support

no underline

brianfreud: you realise we have test artists for testing, right? ;)

yup, no underline support

nikki: lol, notice it's the test server :P
