it's like buying the cds all over again picking fun stuff from the unsorted dir :)

heh

Munger: oh, in general I despise compilations, so I have very little of those.

I'm a DJ as well. I can't avoid compilations. I buy DVDs full of them

Munger: Unless you're tagging without checking each and every album, whether you add 5 albums, or 50 albums into Picard, you will go through them at the same speed.

Munger: i have about 300gb, of which about half is properly tagged with picard now.

navap, A large percentage of the tracks are well tagged. If I drag on say, 50 albums, I can see right away which ones it got right and procede. When It throws up a lot of incosistencies, I rewind, remove the ones I just added and do them again in smaller chunks

I dropped on nearly 100 albums last night and it got the lot of them. It depends really on when I first tagged that particular batch. Over the years I got more organised. It's the old stuff that's a mess

The vinyl rips are a nightmare

Took years to rip them as well. On my third turntable. They keep wearing out

o_O

replacing the needle was usually enough for me :)

although on my current cheap 2nd hand turntable the thing which makes it turn off at the end of the record got broken.

No quick way of ripping vinyls. Even scanning the covers is a chore

Rickmansworth, UK

but i just added an on/off switch to fix that :)

Ah, okay. :)

I am not sure who to leave my music collection to in my will. I don't think the kids will appreciate it

They'll just send it off to oxfam

tsk tsk...

They could at least eBay it for the munny. ¬_¬

Seriously, there is a lot here. Even 78s

exactly :P

The physical discs are all beautifully catalogued on a card index system. I can retrieve anything in a minute or two. I just wish computers were that efficient :-)

Munger: they can. You just need better hardware. :p

and a better designed DB.

I bought one of those Sony Home Theatre thingies yesterday. Everything is wired into that

errr. Samsung

but not for music, just for gaming.

It's MBFS time!

The best thing is controlling iTunes from the iPhone. I'm 20 feet away from the mac now and just use the phone as a remote

I want walk about the flat with my wireless headphones on and control the music from wherever. <3

I would rather be using the mac laptop, but the screen broke and I can only see what I'm doing on it by plugging it into the TV and looking over my shoulder, or using the phone as a remote

s/want/can/

That's nice. Unfortunately I'm deaf in one ear and headphones seem to make me dizzy. Something to do with ears acting as balance organs I think

I put them on and walk into doors frames

:/

You in the UK muz?

Munger: yeah, London.

at least you can take them off and not walk into door frames, I guess :P

I was in Sainsburys this morning, and they are flogging a bundled 32" HD TV w/Freesat HD, an ipod docking station with 300W 2.1 speakers (the tall pointy ones) - for 349 quid

Grundig I think

Oh god, I was so tempted to spash out on a 37" TV last night.

There's a reason why I really shou;ldn't be paid as much as I am, and left to my own devices.

Fit it above your monitors?

what's money for if not for spending?

nikkeee: HOARDING.

I don't yet have HD. Somebody promised to leave me their 42" plasma when they moved to Spain. They forgot and gave it to somebody else. By that time I had spent the dosh I had set aside to buy one

you can hoard anything

you can't spend anything!

FauxFaux: I was thinking that, but I can't really drill into the wall for a VESA mount. :(

And there's nowhere else in my room that I could put it and be able to see it from bed.

Nor is there anywhere I can place it near my existing monitors and use it as another display.

Anyhow, I need to stop buying shinies. Spent more than enough in the past 2 months

I have this 52" Sylvania crt beast. It's only 5" thick and the picture isn't bad, but it's poor by today's standards. I found it lying around in an office after the company who makes them for OEM (Funai) moved to a new site

Nice.

They obviosly left it because it's basically old junk with 110v power supply. I opened it up and found the switch to run it on 240v

Not actually a TV, no tuner, but who needs a tuner when you have a Sky box

OK. Please change the colour of the release title when it has unsaved items. I nearly missed that one :-)

Heh, I just use a TV card in my desktop, and that, and my Xbox are both plugged right into my 24" for watchin.

How do I do an advanced search. I'm looking for a track 'Sixteen Tons', either by CCS or Alexis Korner & CCS, but it must not be from a compilation

I actually know which album it originally came from, but I'm just trying to harden up search parameters for a script here

chefkoch_ is now known as chefkoch

outsidecontext: you can't take people like that seriously

I've seen this post some time ago

luks: but the comments are funny

Stupid Linux user in "gets butthurt and misunderstands how things work" shocker.

News at 11.

"That is one of the reasons I swtiched to GNU OS in the first palce. Please unbrake Sound Juicer!" is great

outsidecontext: is that the same guy as the sound-juicer bug?

Munger: that link was for you

yes, it's about exactly that :) i just ran accross it by accident while reading something else

Munger: this one only matches one track (which makes it redirect, it's the same query but with AND between the three parts) - http://musicbrainz.org/search/textsearch.html?q...

there's more info about what's available to search with here: http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/TextSearchSyntax

heh, fun running queries on my database snapshot. There are 7 artists with more than 10 releases with the same name :D

nikkeee, OK. Thanks. It was the search syntax I was unsure about. That cleared it up.

good :)

It's just that the *original* release was by CCS. The version I have here was from the same album but later released under 'Alexix Korner & CCS'. I'll add that as another release. Is there a way to link the two?

there's an earliest-release-of relationship

But then you can't put a song on repeat and listen to it for 4 hours. :p

OK. I'll investigate that properly before I do the wrong thing. I have a lot of stuff that falls into that category

navap, If I want to listen to the same thing over and over, I'd get a wife. Oh, hang on. I have one already

heh

By the way, when I get this little lot properly tagged, you all get a login to grab anything you like

I have an rsync server running, so you could get it that way

MBChatLogger: off

lol

I was of course referring to metadata

ok...

most of the people here are lurkers anyway

probably forgot they even had irc open...

10 or 15 active people though

that's not too bad

luks: Lazy loader all happy now :)

Query in SelectSingleRowHash returned more than one row at /home/httpd/musicbrainz/mb_server/cgi-bin/Sql.pm line 351, <GEN7> line 73.

DOINGITWRONG

What's the query?

:)

Dunno, ask the server

Bleh.

I added a URL AR that already existed for that release.

(It was a test)

I guess there isn't a unique constraint on the DB then?

Usually if the URL exists the edit goes through and only one url is shown on the release page, not two.

This tome I got both to show.

There should so be a unique constraint on the DB by the sounds of it.

That and pre-insert verification by the libs.

Well I can guess. I think its the fact that I moved the URL using an edit relationship, thats how two URL's now show up. http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=10164740

Normally, the system would check and if the URL already exists the edit just gets silently dismissed.

What does this id represent? http://musicbrainz.org/edit/relationship/remove...

Which? the id?

No the id :p

It's not the release, url, or the artist. So what's it for?

id | artist | name | gid | modpending | attributes | page | language | script | modpending_lang | quality | modpending_qual

--------+--------+--------------------+--------------------------------------+------------+------------+-----------+----------+--------+-----------------+---------+-----------------

It's the DB row ID.

Not thee MBID.
