hmm

those libofa optimisations (mb-dev list) look pretty awesome

fingerprinting is not the bottleneck of the puid process, in my experience

doesn't mean optimisations aren't cool

definitely the lookup itself takes a while :)

but I must say he is pretty brave for touching libofa code :)

heh, yeah

I might poke him to get it pushed upstream

ouch, he is using id3lib

and converting all ID3 tags as ascii..

:S

heh

haven't looked that much through it

Dee.

What I think would speed up the fingerprinting it being able to query multiple fingerprints in one call and having Picard actually do that.

It's perfectly doable, just the amount of effort may be... questionable.

would the fingerprint server allow this?

As it is right now? Probably not, it'd need some work for sure. But the way I understood it, the WS limiting is on MB's webservers.

I think I would make sense to set the limit on a wider timespan

like not 1 request per second but 100 requests per 100 seconds

It's currently 10 requests in 8 seconds iirc.

But Picard has a 1 second interval between API calls iirc.

This is all off the top of my head, so I could be wrong. :)

parallelyzing that would be a nice SoC project

I doubt it's /that/ large of a project.

Unless you want to change that to allow the XML webservice to lookup several resources simultaneously. :p

yes. acutally not

Although even then I'm not sure that's such a good idea, or SoC project worthy. *Shrug*

ok. you could have this cheaper

Ruaok may not be too happy with this idea too, could potentially bring the webserver load way beyond its capabilities.

Webserver, and database heh.

what do you think of a possible tighter wikipedia integration on the artist pages? Like embedding wikipedia stuff like the album summary?

a.g. the Professional reviews

musicbrainz-3 I see kde 4.2.1 isn't picking it up.

Que?

compiling that is

still not specific enough

hrm. he has problems with qt?

kdemultimedia-4.2.1/ but now as i search the build log. I see Incompatible version 3.x of the musicbrainz includes detected. Version 2.x is needed.

- The following OPTIONAL packages could NOT be located on your system. + MusicBrainz: A library that provides access to metadata lookup on the MusicBrainz ser thats what I org seen

that other one was back a ways in the log

well, isn't the error message clear?

"Incompatible version 3.x of the musicbrainz includes detected. Version 2.x is needed."

well yeah now that I see it :)

guess not much is using 3 yet

you should file a bug report

it should not be using libmusicbrainz2

with kde ?

see they say tunepimp also but that only works with 2 . found that out the other day

and they should definitely not be using libtunepimp

is that not looked after any more?

right, libmusicbranz2 is using an obsolete web service, and libtunepimp is generally unmaintained

ah

?lookup artist Taylor Swift

Artist: Taylor Swift || http://musicbrainz.org/artist/20244d07-534f-4ef...

lolcocks??...? :)

Pronounced "lolc-ocks", I don't know what you're inferring...

Lolch, ochs.

(Like mulch)

lol, some nice comments

there always are :/

i dream of a zero-advertising, free radio with CC / public domain music, where labels have to pay if they want air time for the britney spears of the day :)

I have no problem paying for non-CC music etc.

pbryan: ping?

found a dir name your flac2ogg script trips on - /media/Music/Salvage/Brian Eno- Music for Opera Per L`Ara Pacis, 6 may 2008

It seems to trip on the `

ha, my script handles those well!!!11

:P

I wasn't too impressed with the etree script... total fail all over the place

So still looking for a good ape2ogg and shn2ogg (or ape2flac and shn2flac) script

I made one myself (as does everyone): http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:MClemo

but it only handles flac for input

brianfreud: pong

hey

Ah, okay.

Is it just the file name?

well, I had it in the dir name

It would read in /media/Music/Salvage/Brian Eno- Music for Opera Per L`Ara Pacis, 6 may 2008 but try to write (and fail) to /media/Music/Salvage/Brian Eno- Music for Opera Per LAra Pacis, 6 may 2008

Hmm.

Tried backslash escaping the `?

And wrapping it all in " quotes heh.

I just renamed the dir as a workaround :P But figured you'd maybe want toknow

http://gist.github.com/85521 that's gotta win the award for least consistent naming

length, duration, time, urgh

:P

Don't forget moderation, editor, edit, ed, mod, etc too :P

i meant within less than 10 lines of code :P

edit release nearly finished, all the track and release edits are in now :)

model('Moderation')- // ModDefs::MOD_ED_TRACKTIME,

cool

oh yea, heh

I want to try to get insert / add track working... just really don't want to have to mess with the rewriting of the undo stack that's going to require

I'm new to this "buying physiclol media" idea.

Muz_: I try combine stuff I want to save on shipping... but not too many items at once to avoid customs adding taxes and other fees.

ggrnt

I only want this 1 CD. :/

Mainly because she looks hot on the cover and it'd annoy my girlfriend to no extent by me having it. ¬_¬

D:

Muz_: haha

Actually, I suppose I could buy the album too from there.

She looks pretty hot on the US version. At least more so than the UK release.

oh lawl, the my subscription runs out tomorow

lawl

muz: what cover? :D

Taylor Swift - Love Story.

Corsets++

MClemo: http://www.last.fm/user/mustaqila/tracks Yes, that's 475 consecutive plays of the same track.

you cheated? :)

or did you actually listen to it for 6 days now?

I have done.

acid2: it was only £3.

got split into 2 dispatches, the later dispatch is already here
