canidae: you may not want to proceed then.

if this is already too much for you... :-(

anyone available to help me troubleshoot why picard is giving me this error

sorry, but it really is going on my nerves. i want it to work, but having to do some manual hack on virtually every step of the installation is quite annoying

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_gizmos.so: undefined symbol: _ZN15wxStaticPictureC1Ev

canidae: what's wrong with apt-get install postgres ??

nothing, but postgres now fancy "unicode" over "c", which initdb is giving me a hard time for

initdb won't go on unless template1 is in the "c" locale

canidae: any idea?

seren: sorry, i've never used picard

whats an alternative front end i can use on linux?

maybe ill just tag from windoez

i don't think there's that many yet. me and another lad is working on something, but it's still very in development and not easy to install

seren: I have not used it, but perhaps ex-falso

Jooon: hasnt that merged with quod libet

yeah, maybe

anyone use a tagged for win32?

tagger

or rather, it won't go on unless "lc_collate" is "C"... hacked it manually, but then (not surprisingly) something else decided to ruin the fun

Hi luks

hi

You know we were talking yesterday about the fingerprinting of a track. How much do you know about the "Features" that represent the fingerprint?

not that much

I find this a facinating problem

i mean, i think i know how it works generally

I have been reading as much as I can on it

but not any particular solution

I see

nightgroove is now known as skolemo

My understanding is that the creating of the finger print is the "easier" part of the problem and that matching (searching) in a large track space is the more difficult task

in most cases, yes

but for example in musicip/musicdns you have two kinds of information

Am I correct in assuming the the fingerprint "features" boil down to a set of points that are then searched nearest neighbor?

what 2 kinds?

more detailed analysis from their own closed-source tools

and then fingerprints

fingerprints are used only for loopus

lookups

i know practically nothing about the searching side of this

i was never interested in it

hi

hi

whats up

What are the kinds of "features" that are described in the fingerprint? I understand that the wave is Fourier transformed. Do we then look at things like the peak of a given frequence?

or the duration of a peak

Hi BrianG

luks: does what i am saying make sense?

ehm, sorry, i'm back (phone)

yes and no

usually it's even "simpler" than that

so you don't do things like looking for peaks explicitly

oops i was away too

luks: can you give me an idea of the fingerprint "criteria"

i'm not the best person to talk about this :)

the only i know about fingerprinting is from a few papers i've read

Ok

Hi Faux

'lo JaXxon.

You at work?

As always. :)

There's a #last.fm channel for Last.fm related funs/discussion/spam on Freenode now... *ahem*

It has moose! But no ponies.

Lies, there's plenty of ponies.

The best asciiart pony I have is huge.

praest76_ is now known as praest76

skolemo is now known as catgroove

happy birthday Aankhen!!

why is the thing stupid and wont let me auto connect to #last.fm

What's it say?

nothing

it just doesn't work

You're in there!

the field where you add the channels to join says 'add channels, speratewith commans, but NOT spaces'

and I did

yes but I hadd to go in manually

Oh, auto-connect. :)

it didn't automatically connect me

Use Nickserv's autojoin?

Iwtf is that?
