Because people like that shouldn't reproduce anyway. ;-)

HMA I agree! but, I dounbt that's their reasoning!

good point!

I have some vivid memories of seeing overweight women walking down the street in spandex leggings, with bits wobbling in all directions

not pretty

thank you inhouseuk, you just wanted all of us to share that beautiful image didn't you? Does the company make the misery any more pallatable?

:)

hi is anyone around?

i need help with the tagger!

it won't stop playing the music after i clicked on 'listen'~

hi

which tagger?

oh... after like 10 minutes, i just realised that my winamp was open and hidden in the system tray. =/ thanks for replying though!!! :)

*g*

And that's why WinAmp is evil.

period.

like the rest of the week :P

We both know what memories bring, they bring diamonds and rust :D:D

Eurgh, Tim Owens

hi sen!

heh. hi shepard

how goes

fine, and you?

eh, i could be better, but im ok. bit of a cold

:(

nothing that bad though

ok

mmh

more questions! :)

a. are we doing the artist/album pages or not?

b. do you know the best way to use a new module in mb_server is?

a) if it's not too much work, yeah

but most of the code won't make it to after APR, so ...

b) like a new perl module? which one?

mhm. date::calc, but we already have it in a couple of the files according to grep

http://musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=1... I hate entries like that, I can't find any info on that release with 57 tracks.

1983 WE GOT POWER: PARTY OR GO HOME released on Mystic Records, 40 tracks. 2005 Sixty Bands - Party or Go Home released on Mystic records with 62 tracks. How come we only have one entry with 57 tracks which seems neither one or the other

I suspect an incomplete mp3 download

the whole thing looks bollixed, a lot of the band names are incorrect

I was just about to comment on Urban Assalt(?) (S.F.) and (Tahoe)

both are actually called Urban Assault

Yup, that's what I though

Whitecross should be White Cross

I'm not really familiar white US bands in general, of that era I only recognised White Flag, White Cross and Minutemen

i know a few, and Kill From The Heart is a good resource for info http://homepages.nyu.edu/~cch223/comps/wegotpow... and so is Flex http://www.fuzzlogic.com/flex/

Hola

hi teleguise

when adding amazon ASINs to albums, should amazon.com be favoured over other amazon domains, or should other amazon domains even be used at all?

Yeah, I know Kill From the Heart from their Euro/Japanese band biographies

not even be used at all, rather

I use either the amazon shop that relates to the country of release, or one that has an image and track listing

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

before I vote on the rest of these is there some odd/strange rule which would make this incorrect - http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4612211

They have a pretty neat east Europe section in the site

being Japanese.. is the reason i ask

i see no reason to be removing the word version, no matter what language it is telguise

Mudcrow, I was just thinking; what if someone wants to buy the album in question, clicks on the 'Buy' link and is suddenly redirected to a french Amazon site

I mean, we can assume that people using MB know _English_

many japanese sites use instrumental, instrumental version, karaoke.

Timo: the amazon shop they get directed to is the one set in their prefs

all to describe instrumental tracks

i was assuming most track listings i'm familiar with usually just use the word (instrumental) and not (instrumental version) so didn't know what Japan listings did for sure.. (s)He is making quite a few of these edits so i assumed they knew or maybe they don't

I agree with Mudcrow, it's all the same thing so it's fine to make the database consistant.

Mudcrow, ah, that seems indeed to be the case, I had already forgotten about the setting

timo... nevermind mudcro already said that ...

usually if it says instrumental version, that means there is a version with vocals too. having *just* the word instrumental would refer to this track being an instrumental with no vocal version.

but that isnt always the way it works (like everything else)

like when only one vocal is missing.

plus if it's an instrumental track do you need to bother putting instrumental?

That more of a genre tag to me.

hi ruaok

Sorry that's confusing I mean instrumental in response to this:

"having *just* the word instrumental would refer to this track being an instrumental with no vocal version."

eww

it would have been worse if I had eaten them together D:

lalala I cannot hear you

haha

i'm sure somewhere you could get chocolate flavoured rice

Oh, we have such a candy snack

no you don't! shut up! foul!!

No, it's actually quite yummy. Just has a bit too much fat for my taste.

teleGUISE: prefer the amazon site it originally came from

timo: right now there's no way to only go to the amazon site in the url, like Mudcrow said, it goes to the one in your prefs

nikki_: You're subscribed to really strange artists, I notice.

of course

I haven't even heard of half of them :)

but a lot of people won't vote on anything foreign looking

Yes, it's rather odd to find you subscribed to same really odd ex-Yugoslavian punk bands :)

so I'm making up for it!

so do i.. but since the system only uses the asin portion they are not incorrect. I have told some people that *but* there isn't a written rule so....

rest assured, I have not heard of them let alone heard their music ;)

teleGUISE: wellll, http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/1090

once that gets done, it won't make much sense for the default url to be an import

well... i guess i could now point them to the enhancement ticket if they question it ;)-

juhae do you know if this was actually released or is it just a interent download? http://musicbrainz.org/album/024e385a-a80a-46f3... I can't find any reference to an actual release for it

maybe I should write something up

pankkake: you here?

also, could someone *please* edit the asin link texzt to somehow clarify that .com isn't the only url you can use?

yes, please :]

amazon.com is especially bad

they're always getting the info wrong when amazon.co.jp has it right

how they manage that, I don't want to know

Mudcrow: I can't say i'd be 100% sure of the actual release

I've been doing 100's of ASINs recently and amazon.com is very bad compared to the rest

Mudcrow: It was a bit stupid and too uncertain addon to the db on my part

So, yeah, it might only be an internet bootleg compilation or something as silly.

amazon.com is ok when its a album (not single) and its a domestic release.. anything beyond that and they get iffy

I don't know juhae, I have the album too :)

teleGUISE: I was talking about imports

ic ... Mudcrow's comment didn't specify ;)

Damn with all these yugoslavian languages

I can't tell them apart :(
