but it's not linked anywhere...

After that big debate in the the mailing-list about adding superfluous AR's are we keeping duplicate info for now, or keeping the database lean without the duplicate info?

djce just patched the TRM gateway to always return random TRMs

see if we can get the classic tagger to still be useful after we decommision TRMs

that's evil :)

not entirely.

the WS will from here on out always return an empty list

so, the classic tagger will have NO tracks automatically match.

but you want to to use it for hand-tagging, go ahead.

Hey there folks, if I have a list of musicians which played instruments on an album, and I know which track they were on, is that enough reason to add additional instrumentalists to a track ?

Sure if you know it's accurate. But you should still be able to provide some proof voters can find to get good votes.

Okay

Thanks

np

JordanC: Also, in addition to what Kerensky97 said: Please do.

Well, I can give you the URL so you can check if everything is OK

Yeah, the more of those additional ARs we get the better Musicbrainz gets.

I've only added about 2 albums, so I'm a little rusty on it

(Also, is it a sign of failure when you try tab-completing everyday words and not just IRC nicks?)

Grr I pressed enter by accident and it added piano accordion >.>

lol

might be heavy to lift

Not more than your average button accordion though.

oh

I'm adding the instruments, slowly but surely

Just one question..

Can anyone pick out a Kalimba? :P

JordanC: do you mean by ear?

Yes

I know what one sounds like generally

I've unfortunately never heard one, or at least heard one and recognised it

I think it is the same or similar to a mbira or thumb piano.

Aha

In that case, I can match it to the sound now

If a page lists someone as an engineer on the album

(Some kalimba videos here: http://youtube.com/user/kalimbamagic )

Would I add them as an audio or a sound engineer?

Do we have an AR just for "engineer"?

Nope

Presumably it'd be audio engineer?

Are you sure? I think I see a generic "engineered" AR

I can't see one

Oh, you're right

I see it, sorry

np :)

The instrument search thing is useless :P

JordanC: It's not. You just have to, well, get used to it.

Hmm, what is Kalimba classified as?

It's not there! :O

Tried Treble Kalimba and it's not there

Maybe we're supposed to use Mbira instead? although I don't know if they are really considered the same instrument.

mikemorr: Meh :D

The Kalimba sounds beautiful

Like a music box

Yeah, it's a nice sound.

Freso: any comments on Mbira vs. Kalimba? BrianFreud mentions something about changing Mbira to Kalimba on http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/InstrumentAdditionD...

Wow, Nelson Rangell sure can play a lot of instruments

Flute, Vocals, Kalimba, Package Design, Mixing, Liner Notes, Main Performer, Producer, Handclapping, Whistle (Human), Sax (Tenor), Piccolo, Sax (Alto), Sax (Soprano), Arranger

mikemorr: Not right now, no. :) I'm deep in Drupal stuff at this very moment.

OK :)

Well I'll throw this question out there anyway. Brian says it says "Mbira (Mbira, (sansa, kalimba, luvale, karimba, marimbula, matape)) (7)" but all I see is Mbira. Are we supposed to use Mbira for all of those?

yes

Just adding as i'm listening to the songs :)

Oops

Sorry

kalimba == mbira

as good as anyway

ignore what Brianfreud sais

CatCat: OK thanks. Where do I find those extended lists Brian is referring to?

(with all the equivalent instruments)

i rented (from the library no less) book abotu this, it explained how the mbira is a huge type of instruments, made for meverything spoons and bottlecasp to processional stuff

oh, found it: http://musicbrainz.org/edit/relationships/link_...

Interesting

to ad all types is to like ever single instrument in it self ahas a name (imagine everyones guitar havign a singular noun name)

jesus, fuck brainfrø and his damn "discogs" list

Hmm,o.o

yay, big buck bunny released! http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/

hi warp

lol

hi :)

I love that album

mikemorr: I think I'm going to buy a Kalimba

JordanC: Cool.

Yeah, I think it'd be a cool thing to play :)

Next song :D

Aw, end of the album

Well, I added most of it, I'll add the rest tomorrow.. close to bedtime now :)

JordanC: Sec.

Hmm?

JordanC: http://musicbrainz.org/release/2903c48b-24c3-4e...

JordanC: I do like one track a week. :p

Hehehehe

One is more than nothing, Freso :)

JordanC: There's an awful lot of ARs for each track.

JordanC: Exactly.

JordanC: Just felt like showing you. :)

Best to always do a little bit if you can, rather than nothing ^o^

Freso: Sure, :)

i think that'd be a cool thing to play for my son

xlotlu: What's that?

kalimba

Yeah, they sound really nice
