        "SeriesNumberStyle is, however, weak and follows the StylePrinciples in the following cases (as long as they are used consistently in the original data, or at least in the majority of cases)." is kind of extreme, though :P
      • 2009-02-24 05558, 2009

      • MClemo
        but well, maybe it's just me :)

        extreme how?

      • MClemo
        I did wonder if the variations are ok or not. At least you don't get it on first reading

        [Global Notice] Hi all, I'm about to take services offline for a few moments to restore some stuff from the db, as JonathanD would say "on freenode, staff happens.." -- They should be back with you shortly and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

        found a bug in the new rating code i somehow overlooked
      • 2009-02-24 05521, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        for id3 i tried to store a POPM with email and rating but without a playcount
      • 2009-02-24 05558, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        mutagen does not like that when saving a file (although it seems to save it nevertheless, but it throws an ugly exception)
      • 2009-02-24 05523, 2009

      • luks
        but if you just give it 0 it works fine?
      • 2009-02-24 05537, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        yes, but isn't that rather stupid?
      • 2009-02-24 05553, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        we could easily overwrite an existing value
      • 2009-02-24 05558, 2009

      • luks
        yeah
      • 2009-02-24 05540, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        i somehow hoped mutagen would take care of this when i omitted the value :)
      • 2009-02-24 05502, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        but i guess we have to store the playcount internally and save it together with the rating
      • 2009-02-24 05554, 2009

      • luks
        well, even in save() you have fully loaded ID3 object
      • 2009-02-24 05514, 2009

      • luks
        you can just look there when saving POPM if there is an existing frame and copy playcount from it
      • 2009-02-24 05557, 2009

      • outsidecontext
        ah, good advice :) i will try this
      • 2009-02-24 05514, 2009

      • luks
        mutagen by default doesn't do anything with the original ID3 tag on save
      • 2009-02-24 05532, 2009

      • luks
        it just takes what you giv it, encodes it and writes to a file
      • 2009-02-24 05505, 2009

      • luks
        so it couldn't take care of this

      • pbryan
        Out of curiosity, did you organize it as one release?
      • 2009-02-24 05506, 2009

      • pbryan
        Wow, so you did -- I pulled a random disc and mbdiscid'd it.
      • 2009-02-24 05531, 2009

      • srotta
        170 CDs as one release?
      • 2009-02-24 05553, 2009

      • pbryan
        Note quite in MB -- 170 "releases".
      • 2009-02-24 05559, 2009

      • pbryan
        With (disc x).
      • 2009-02-24 05513, 2009

      • nikkeee
        what did you get?
      • 2009-02-24 05540, 2009

      • pbryan
        Brilliant Classics Complete Mozart.
      • 2009-02-24 05502, 2009

      • pbryan
        And nikkeee, I've had to put a *third* mortgage on my house.
      • 2009-02-24 05531, 2009

      • nikki
        in order to buy a 170 cd set?
      • 2009-02-24 05558, 2009

      • brianfreud
        pbryan: enjoy :D
      • 2009-02-24 05502, 2009

      • pbryan
        No, to buy the four Mosaic sets I just ordered.
      • 2009-02-24 05511, 2009

      • pbryan
        brianfreud: You've ripped all 170?
      • 2009-02-24 05516, 2009

      • nikki
        mosaic sets?
      • 2009-02-24 05519, 2009

      • nikki is confused
      • 2009-02-24 05521, 2009

      • pbryan
        Mosaic Records.
      • 2009-02-24 05538, 2009

      • pbryan
        Sorry, I think I'm confused.
      • 2009-02-24 05544, 2009

      • brianfreud
        pbryan: yep, though I didn't have the CDs avail in hand when I entered it.
      • 2009-02-24 05555, 2009

      • brianfreud
        But I entered the entire thing into MB last year - but if you wouldn't mind adding cd tocs and from them times?
      • 2009-02-24 05502, 2009

      • pbryan
        How did you organize in your filesystem?
      • 2009-02-24 05511, 2009

      • pbryan
        brianfreud: NP.
      • 2009-02-24 05535, 2009

      • desrt
        when i get the result of a getTrackById how do i tell what the track number was?
      • 2009-02-24 05536, 2009

      • brianfreud
        Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart/blah blah Volume n (Disc y)
      • 2009-02-24 05548, 2009

      • pbryan
        Yeah, saw you broke it down by volume.
      • 2009-02-24 05513, 2009

      • brianfreud
        the entire BC set is in there, and 80% or so of the Philips set is in too
      • 2009-02-24 05515, 2009

      • pbryan
        (in MB)
      • 2009-02-24 05522, 2009

      • brianfreud
        yes
      • 2009-02-24 05523, 2009

      • pbryan
        Wow.
      • 2009-02-24 05548, 2009

      • brianfreud
      • 2009-02-24 05509, 2009

      • desrt
        i can get the release, but there seems no obvious way to get the track number of the track within that release
      • 2009-02-24 05512, 2009

      • brianfreud
        just some of the operas left to be entered for the Philips set... whenever I get around to it :P
      • 2009-02-24 05521, 2009

      • pbryan
        Oh wow, you really went to town.
      • 2009-02-24 05533, 2009

      • brianfreud still waits for others to finish the BC Bach and Beethoven sets :D
      • 2009-02-24 05553, 2009

      • pbryan will probably buy more of the Brilliant editions...
      • 2009-02-24 05505, 2009

      • brianfreud
      • 2009-02-24 05519, 2009

      • brianfreud
        (no pages yet for the other BC sets)
      • 2009-02-24 05541, 2009

      • brianfreud
        entering the BC set is where the CSGStandard lists started, actually
      • 2009-02-24 05559, 2009

      • pbryan
        Will these wiki pages be replaced with release groups?
      • 2009-02-24 05527, 2009

      • brianfreud
        no idea how luks plans to handle sets of release groups - "release sets"?
      • 2009-02-24 05536, 2009

      • brianfreud
        or, in this type of case, sets of sets of release groups
      • 2009-02-24 05503, 2009

      • brianfreud
        (esp when some in the set/series will always still be on the "to be entered" list - "release set annotation" fodder?

        Figure maybe it should be broken into bits, but that would have meant redundantly pasting in a rather lengthy chunk of HTML, and wasn't quite sure anyhow which were from the same or different causes
      • 2009-02-24 05527, 2009

      • aCiD2
        don't have to post the html could just say "input missing label, see #4515 line whatever"

      • pronik
        I'm personally fine with that, I don't see that many strings which can be used by other projects anyway...
      • 2009-02-24 05548, 2009

      • pronik
        btw, the guys were talking about being mb mirrors -- I also remember asking you about how much traffic being a mirror produces. Got any figures off your head? I've got a TB on my server...
      • 2009-02-24 05537, 2009

      • ruaok
        generally mirrors generate next to no traffiic, because we never send them traffic.
      • 2009-02-24 05542, 2009

      • brianfreud
        is there any license conflict using BSD translations within GPL2 software?
      • 2009-02-24 05558, 2009

      • ruaok
        and we don't send mirrors traffic because they have shown to be unreliable.
      • 2009-02-24 05515, 2009

      • pronik
        ok, understood :)

        In order to run an MB server, you need to throw a capable machine at it.

        brianfreud: no, BSD is very permissive.
      • 2009-02-24 05541, 2009

      • pronik
        which mine probably won't be
      • 2009-02-24 05552, 2009

      • ruaok
        and there are fewer people willing to do that, so mirror servers have really not worked out for us. :-(
      • 2009-02-24 05509, 2009

      • srotta
        BSD is pretty much "do what you want" license.
      • 2009-02-24 05522, 2009

        if mb was less resource intensive like freedb the scenario would be different.

        pronik: I noticed picard has the countries and formats in its translations already... is there a way the server can use the same ones?

      • pronik
        nikki: which formats do you mean?
      • 2009-02-24 05538, 2009

      • nikki
        cd, dvd, etc
      • 2009-02-24 05502, 2009

      • pronik
        since picard is translated using launchpad, we can use those translations, it's a matter of selecting them
      • 2009-02-24 05534, 2009

      • pronik
