        hmm, couldn't we just have a release-track relationship to link albums to pre-gap tracks?
      • 2009-03-13 07221, 2009

      • navap
        And have the track as a NAT?
      • 2009-03-13 07217, 2009

      • nikkeee
        the tracks are already non-album tracks
      • 2009-03-13 07233, 2009

      • nikkeee
        at the moment people seem to use annotations to link them

        hello, i have a DB question, downloaded and setup a offline postgres db, everything seems to be fine but the views are empty, i followed the instructions but what could i have done wrong
      • 2009-03-13 07233, 2009

      • Maty
        i can query and get data from the tables individually or combining them but just the views are empty
      • 2009-03-13 07223, 2009

      • Maty
        im somewhat new to postgre though

      • 2009-03-13 07243, 2009

      • Maty
        can you answer my question
      • 2009-03-13 07250, 2009

      • nikki
        I don't know the answer, so no
      • 2009-03-13 07224, 2009

      • Maty
        ok thanks
      • 2009-03-13 07206, 2009

      • Maty
        oh by the way do you know to get just the english artist names by doing a query ?
      • 2009-03-13 07248, 2009

      • nikki
        how exactly do you mean?
      • 2009-03-13 07225, 2009

      • Maty
        you know like there are japanese artists etc, so i want names that are only in english
      • 2009-03-13 07225, 2009

      • nikki
        hm... not very easily I guess, we don't store enough information about artist names really :/
      • 2009-03-13 07230, 2009

      • nikki
        what do you need them for?
      • 2009-03-13 07224, 2009

      • Maty
        so that people can search for names in a text box and get artist details but not for like japanese names etc even though there is a enlish sort order
      • 2009-03-13 07257, 2009

      • nikki
        ah, there's no way I know of to do that :/
      • 2009-03-13 07222, 2009

      • Clint
        are the "english" names listed as aliases?
      • 2009-03-13 07256, 2009

      • Maty
        well its however its in the MB db, i am just trying to get the artist names
      • 2009-03-13 07237, 2009

      • Maty
        got freedb too but that would take like a million years to process
      • 2009-03-13 07256, 2009

      • Maty
        plus the same problem of the jap/chi names
      • 2009-03-13 07200, 2009

      • nikki
        well I can make a list of only latin script names if that's what you want
      • 2009-03-13 07253, 2009

      • Maty
        does that mean enlish letters ? if so yeah that would do it

      • Kerensky97 has quit
      • 2009-03-13 07200, 2009

      • nikki
        do you need anything other than the names? like the artist id or anything?
      • 2009-03-13 07231, 2009

      • Maty
        yeah the artist id, coz ill be making some other tables and attaching stuff to them
      • 2009-03-13 07200, 2009

      • nikki
        hmm, quite a lot... http://lmfao.org.uk/latinscriptartists.txt (there's over 400,000 lines so you might not want to open that straight in your browser)
      • 2009-03-13 07228, 2009

      • Maty
        cool
      • 2009-03-13 07233, 2009

      • Maty
        thanks
      • 2009-03-13 07258, 2009

      • Maty
        also is there a script i can use ? if i need modify stuff
      • 2009-03-13 07257, 2009

        ok, I just am realizing that BMPx is a dead project, and its replacement also seems a dead project.
      • 2009-03-13 07227, 2009

      • brianfreud
        So, not to start a religeous argument, but I'm looking for a new tagger, pref with podcast, PUID, and decent ID3/vorbis tags support
      • 2009-03-13 07250, 2009

      • brianfreud
        Looks like it's down to foobar2000 or Amarok? (never really used either before) Anyone have any suggestions?
      • 2009-03-13 07257, 2009

      • nikki
        tagger?
      • 2009-03-13 07200, 2009

        and I should hope you get fast speeds from that server :P
      • 2009-03-13 07225, 2009

      • brianfreud
        I thought xmms was dead too?
      • 2009-03-13 07238, 2009

      • nikki
        xmms2 isn't afaik
      • 2009-03-13 07233, 2009

      • brianfreud looks at both
      • 2009-03-13 07234, 2009

      • alastair1
        but that's going in the wrong direction as well, imo
      • 2009-03-13 07248, 2009

      • brianfreud
        either quod libet or xmms natively support mbids and/or puids?
      • 2009-03-13 07224, 2009

      • alastair1
        in what way?
      • 2009-03-13 07234, 2009

      • brianfreud
        O_o regexp-based music finding??? <3
      • 2009-03-13 07221, 2009

      • brianfreud
        tbh, I'd be happy to stay with bmpx, except I'm just really annoyed that it can't enque a directory and actually play it in anything like correct order
      • 2009-03-13 07220, 2009

      • Maty
        nikki thanks for the file again
      • 2009-03-13 07237, 2009

      • nikki
        no problem :)
      • 2009-03-13 07255, 2009

      • Maty
        later
      • 2009-03-13 07211, 2009

        uses disk order rather than file order :)
      • 2009-03-13 07221, 2009

      • alastair1
        that goes all the way back to xmms
      • 2009-03-13 07222, 2009

      • brianfreud
        well, it's the one "must have" feature I want
      • 2009-03-13 07245, 2009

      • brianfreud
        and you cannot even sort, to fix it after queuing... makes me nuts when listening to bootlegs to hear the shows out of concert order
      • 2009-03-13 07204, 2009

      • srotta
        So are you looking for a player or a tagger?

        I wish Artist lookups used soundex matching. Easy to accidentally ad duplicate artists if the name is not a precise match
      • 2009-03-13 07223, 2009

      • luks
        there are much better ways to do fuzzy search
      • 2009-03-13 07226, 2009

      • Munger
        Apparently none good enough to have been implemented though

        Eh?
      • 2009-03-13 07222, 2009

      • Muz
        Perhaps it's the usual case of "bigger fish to fry, and not enough developers"?
      • 2009-03-13 07233, 2009

      • Muz
        Not a case of the technologies not being good enough.

      • 2009-03-13 07202, 2009

      • luks
        to write a search engine or a custom postgresql index type? I don't think so :)
      • 2009-03-13 07256, 2009

      • alastair1
        hmm
      • 2009-03-13 07202, 2009

      • alastair1
        mysql has a soundex() built in
      • 2009-03-13 07205, 2009

      • alastair1
        does postgres?
      • 2009-03-13 07201, 2009

      • luks
        soundex is crap, it doesn't matter
      • 2009-03-13 07256, 2009

      • luks
      • 2009-03-13 07258, 2009

      • Muz
        Soundex is often implemented wrong, or badly and there are better algorithms out there.
      • 2009-03-13 07209, 2009

      • Muz
        And it doesn't matter if MySQL does or not, MySQL is still crap and not in use. :p

      • sonium
        what has been the problem?
      • 2009-03-13 07219, 2009
