(The depressing thing is that I'm moving out at the end of the academic year, and have /nowhere near/ enough disk space to mirror the media machine :()

how much space would you need?

3.04TB according to df. Yeah, so, no.

FauxFaux, quick, spend that student loan on cheap 500GB hdds!

;)

hrm, is there a command in Picard to uppercase the first letter?

I've lost track of how much space I've got

Anyway, picard question!

aCiD2: I don't believe so, you can hax it with left() and right() though. :)

It has an uppercas command though?

Muz: I spent my student loan on new maachines.,

I think my drives are 320 gigs, 4 gigs, 80 gigs and 500 gigs

Aha, ta FauxFaux

4?!

yes, that's the one my computer boots from

Ah, heh

500gb HDs are about 2 ponies now

because it can't boot from the 320 gig one

Not a SSD?

Heh, flash?

what's an SSD?

Flashdrive.

e

well, it's an old computer

There's 1.5TB within my desktop, and another 2TB on the desk in assorted firewire/usb drives

I built it in 2001 with a budget of £300, so the parts were all pretty crappy

so I assume it shits itself because the drive is too big

Heh

http://faux.uwcs.co.uk/hdds.php (overclockers) seems to think that 1tb drives are the cheapest per gb. :/

Oh, pro, it's right, for once, too.

Yo :)

Hi JordanC!

hmm. it was 500Gb ones when I got mine like half a year ago

$upper($left(%releasetype%,1))$right(%releasetype%,$sub($len(%releasetype%),1))

:D

JordanC: did you enter it yet? :-p

o.O

aCiD2: perl does it so much better :(

Over here it still seems to be, 500GB WD Caviar being (in average) cheapest per GB.

I'm searching for it, but err -- the site is excruciatingly slow

>.>

:O

I need a new HD too

Running out of space for music

Current collections: 367.4 gb

:(

nikki: :(

Heh, I have 10gb of music

JordanC: flac, or do you *really* have a lot?

They're all OGG

And I REALLY have a lot

But I do purchase all of it, so my collection has a slow growth

chefkoch_ is now known as chefkoch

If I rescan the entire directory it takes like.. 3 hours

$upper($left(%releasetype%,1))$right(%releasetype%,$sub($len(%releasetype%),1))/$upper($left(%releasestatus%,1))$right(%releasestatus%,$sub($len(%releasestatus%),1))/$if2(%albumartist%,%artist%)/$left(%date%,4) - %album% (%label%)/$num(%tracknumber%,2) %title%

Fark

that's not pretty

LotR: Define non-riaa?

:O! CS's album hasn't been added to musicbrainz

JordanC: Clearly your tastes are not underground enough ;)

aCiD2: I think he means stuff like CD's, iTunes and all that nonsense

aCiD2: anything not on a major(-associated) label

MBChatLogger: off

is not logging

is logging

JordanC: I was only joking :)

I don't know anything about your collection :P

Okay, so how do I add a new al-boom then :O

Ah, Add Release

LotR: But then how do you define major? Ram Records is "major" in the dnb scene, but it's not as a major as a Sony label or w/e

either way, seems a sensible philosophy

lol

Ram records

I've been trying to get more CC music recently, seeing as I can't afford any new records atm :P

There are some decent CC artists

aCiD2: I don't care how popular or big the band is, just don't want to support the money-grabber labels

Listen to one called Cakeflap

JordanC: is this in relation to Ram?

CC = Creative Commons

Jamendo = Creative Commons

I know...

Cakeflap = Creative Commons licensed

Then the rest was a recommendation

I'm not trying to like, slit your throat or anything :P

:P

uh oh, just got mail from the IRS!!

aCiD2 likes bad music, bad games and bad languages. D:

oh noes, mail from the IRCs

says you :P

I don't want to stop listening/supporting my favorites just because they have a recording contract. Similarly, I won't listen to crap, not even for supporting the cause.

srotta: there's other ways to support your favourites than buying a cd.

Yeah

FauxFaux: I like better music than you!

Like shouting "F*ck the RIAA!"

LotR: That includes getting the CD?

8)

:)

srotta: getting the music is orthogonal to supporting the artist ;)

LotR: Like buying the CDs second hand? ¬_¬

Or receiving promotional copies

Or winning the music

:3

FauxFaux: yes! that's *exactly* what I meant :D

YAY

An album I added detail on is now High Data quality

=)

'tis what I do, makes almost all of the anti-piracy arguments fellacious.

I screwed a few fields up, but meh

JordanC: Unlucky. D:

Unlucky?

You can't touch it now.

What if you want to touch it?

Then I shall

:O!

You can't!

I'm touching it :O

with greasy fingers? :D

o/^ You can't touch this! o/^

leaving fingerprints all over ittt

Mmm, is replication broken, or have I broken postaids?

Somebody stop MEH!

Break it down!

stoP!

Yeah, I broke it.

yeah you did

mine's not broken :P
