anm_ub: you are from?

GoCatMachine, Sweden. Couldn't you guess?

Does that get itunes to not fark up the tags anm_ub?

eZtaR, I don't use itunes. So no idea what you are referring to

Haha

eZtaR: well he was talking about the danish thing..

eZtaR, this is probably same as "I'm not a mac user" (in fact I'm a linux user)

Well all the googling I've done has led me to believe that iTunes has problem with mp3's with 2.4 and album art

det er ikke s� lett heller ;)

I'm not a mac user either

oh and I always rip my music to flac. Except when I want to change ring tune on my phone, seems I need aac then

But at this point and time itunes is (afaik) the only app that can sync my collection with album art

*in

my phone is dildos, it requires .amr of allk types to hav ring type

I have the scream from Slayer - Angel of Death

;)

hm?

why do you care about album art btw

GoCatMachine, some nokia here.

(assuming that was a phone brand)

no

popular music?

it's...

not

deth.. metal

anm_ub -> because I'm a junkie of that music quiz thing

;)

GoCatMachine, if it doesn't fall under the CSG on MB I'm not likely to know much about it (with a few exceptions)

;P

and my player of choice (songbird) is notorious for fucking up your music while syncing

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dethklok <-- explains it better than I could

eZtaR, my player of choice atm is cd ~/music/vivaldi/four_seasons-london_of_city_sinfoina && vlc *.flac

;P

Haha

But i like having my whole collection on shuffle with a nice little lyrics plugin

:p

files are named trackNN.flac anyway, so it works well. cdparanoia + flac + for i in *.cdda.flac; do mv $i ${i/.cdda/}; done

eZtaR, shuffle really fails for classical music, movement-aware shuffle could work

so it always played a given symphony in order

but shuffled order for symphonies

since usually one track = one movement

on virtually all classical music cds

How come almost all flacophiles are big classical fans? :P

I lack the equipment to hear the difference between v0 and lossless :p

eZtaR, because only we have good enough headphones to hear the difference?

maybe

well, high quality mp3 might show now difference, but I have enough disc space anyway for it

[19:41] <anm_ub> eZtaR, shuffle really fails for classical music, movement-aware shuffle could work <-- I would like album shuffle plz

that would rock

GoCatMachine, well, a few lines of bash script could do it

yea, if you know how/use such a player

write a wmp plugin? LMAO

ugh

go do it yourself

also bash is not a player

also re classical music.. my mother was a HUGE classical nut, both teaditional "classical" as well as gregorian, opera, etc

it is a common shell on *nix

pretty much the default one

cygwin + bash script + wmp = win? xD

and she also *loved* dethmetal/thrashmetal/etc

eZtaR: I use flac and I know sod all about classical :P

heh

eZtaR, you want me to puke?

rofl anm_ub

eZtaR, another theory: what is the ratio of classical music fans that can play some instrument themselves? And what is the ratio for pop-fans?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher for classical music fans

also uh, I was joking about the plug in I know wmp is not exactly condeered "cool". and I just saif that, writing a bash script works. if you know how (i don't) and you use a player(on an OS) that can be modifye with bash scrip easily

(I can play piano a bit myself, note: not professionally!)

and why this is related: you might be able to hear details in the music better if you know stuff like music theory and such

well I can play.. piano a little, violin alittle, thromboe, a little, good at winging it with harminica and kazoo, nt to meantion have good musical ear abnd know a few things on guitar

I am a ... lots of thing fan

not spesifically classical

or the mean theory: lossy doesn't make a difference for rock, rap, pop or other music!

my mother woyld say that classic music has many layer , its "complicated" to listen to, and inded its nice ecause your brain can sit and really listen to it

she said the same about thrash metal, many, many layers of guitars, rythm guitar, drum and harmonies, on top of eachother

like Testament

sorry was AFK

go listen to "confusion fusion" by testamnt

GoCatMachine, well there are all sorts of classical music... And then what about baroque music too? And music from the romantic period!

Trying to say FU iTunes and going songbird on its ass

it's built up like a waltz

(Note: I only use the word "classical music" for music from the classical period!)

well she would lisen to all those types, as do i

yes I know

same

bt i find it a bore to say "classical music, music from romanti period and baroque and gregorian" ALL the time

:)

but English lack a good overall word for the "vulgar" sense classical music. Swedish has "konstmusik", which translates to "art music"

yes i know you said that before

GoCatMachine, don't remember your nick?

from before

I know I mentioned it in here some weeks ago

i think "classical music" *is* the "vulgar" term for it in english, that "klasisk musikk" would be "classical-period usic" istead

about Gregorian period... count me out!

Gregorian chants.... not my cup of tea.

i love it

yeah, I know there are people who like organs too. (Guess which I prefer: Vivaldi or Bach? ;P)

about l10n previously mentioned

"backend" (in the technical sense) I just saw translated to "bak�nde"... While it is technically a correct literal translation it sounds like it refers to the body part you sit on instead.... :D

maybe my favourite is 14th century mideavel music

like from http://musicbrainz.org/album/4ca58fd4-761f-4fe9...

ensemble unicor would do some stuff

(I need to update these recordsi have)

GoCatMachine, lots of anon there heh

Well I'm off guys

Nice talking to you guys :)

well yea, the composer is unknown

what is the difference between [gregorian chant] and [anonymous]

I mean, the second seems to be a superset of the first

uh yea you gotta ask clutcher2 about that <_<

so why have a separate for anonymous Gregorian chants?

look in theedit hisory

hm

GoCatMachine, any edit comment? Since you have it open anyway

I honestly would just like one but consensus was against me

uh what?

on anon, go there eand look

or gregorian chant too

GoCatMachine, okay, where is the link to edit history for a given track? can't find it. using a browser on a handheld atm...

no

(ircing from it too)

the artist*

not tracks

just click the artist and go to the edit history like normal

handheld?

laptop?

GoCatMachine, handheld

uh yea, what?

GoCatMachine, handheld running linux.

(not at my laptop atm)

using a bouncer on the laptop. It's a bit complicated

(the laptop is in the next room)

you keep saing "hand held" like i'm supposed to understand what that means, I can hold my acer a1one in my hand and t's "handheld"

okay on laptop now *browses*

GoCatMachine, like a palm or such

know them?

a palm?

...

you mean phone?
