I can transcode to other formats, without loss of quality.

the only reason I didn't start with that is the size would have been crazy back in 2002 ;)

yeah I've been trying to backup stuff to DVD then realised it would just be easier to get an external hard drive -- couple of terabytes for about 150 IIRC
2009-10-07 28034, 2009

I think it's around 40-50

we really need a bigger optical format

gnu_andrew: I want cheaper, larger SSDs
2009-10-07 28044, 2009

Bluray is nowhere near, expensive writers and only about 25gb
2009-10-07 28059, 2009

that would be nice

I suppose there is tape too, haven't looked at that much

gnu_andrew: External HDDs seem the only option right now.
I need to wait for HDD technology to advance a bit more before I can start downloading HD films.

Hi! Is it possible to make picard use the latin artist name in filenames. Got some japanese composers and moving japanese filenames between various operanting systems tend to screw things up.

there's an option to use the 'english' name somewhere which I presume is also used for the tags
2009-10-07 28034, 2009
nikki
or maybe it says translate foreign artist names, I don't remember
2009-10-07 28051, 2009
nikki
well, I know the option is there, I mean I don't remember how it's worked

worded, even...

You can tick that option and then tick 'don't save tags' that should make Picard use latin file names, but preserve the non-latin tags.

Could you do me a favor and have a look at this http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=11299117, I think it is clearly breaking the OST guidelines by adding "gamename soundtrack" to the official title
If anything it should have been "Love, Peace & Happiness: The Original Yoshi's Story Soundtrack".

I would have probably used what navap wrote

"Passion" (Peter Gabriel's soundtrack for the film "The Last Temptation of Christ") would remain "Passion"; an annotation noting what film the soundtrack is from would be appropriate. <-- what about this one?
