        my server is already struggling to fit all the hard drives

        • 2006-04-14 10452, 2006

      • tma
        (and I really wish I'd made the decision to go SATA way back when, PATA cabling is a bitch when you've got about 8 hard drives in there)

        • 2006-04-14 10453, 2006

      • asmodai
        For two new servers I settled on a dual RAID1 set up in a spanning configuration with a hot-spare disk.

        • 2006-04-14 10406, 2006

      • asmodai hands tma SCSI with a proper backplane

        • 2006-04-14 10428, 2006

      • tma is trying to get large disk on the cheap :)

        • 2006-04-14 10403, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        you can get 400gb for under $200USD these days

        • 2006-04-14 10405, 2006

      • asmodai
        yeah, SCSI prices are still Teh Suck

        • 2006-04-14 10433, 2006

      • tma
        price/GB still favours 300GB drives at the moment, unless 400GB drives have dropped in price a heap lately

        • 2006-04-14 10417, 2006

      • tma
        I don't run RAID, just LVM, so the plan was to add a new 300gb drive at some point (and probably retire one of the 120gb ones)

        • 2006-04-14 10418, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        probably still does favor 300 or 320

        • 2006-04-14 10444, 2006

      • tma
        I think I'd need about 2 or 2.5 TB to store everything I want to store on there though

        • 2006-04-14 10448, 2006

      • nikki_
        send me the 120 one :o

        • 2006-04-14 10400, 2006

      • tma
        which is just ridiculous, really

        I think it's mainly that there's a few of us, and we all like different things

        • 2006-04-14 10455, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i've got like 1.5TB and i'm running low :\

        • 2006-04-14 10412, 2006

      • tma
        so we end up with all of CSI on there, and I have all of Lost and Babylon5

        • 2006-04-14 10419, 2006

      • tma
        it adds up

      • fidi_aswing
        hehe... seems like it went well too...

        • 2006-04-14 10453, 2006

      • tma
        yes .. and for once, it doesn't feel rushed, and I don't feel like I'm trying to be something I'm not

        • 2006-04-14 10427, 2006

      • tma will shut up about that now, because it's probably quite boring unless you're involved in it

        • 2006-04-14 10405, 2006

      • tma
        hmm, new tool album

        • 2006-04-14 10409, 2006

      • tro
        if on the cd all the track names are lowercase, do we keep them like that or capitalize according to the rules of the language?

        • 2006-04-14 10410, 2006

      • tma
        tro: normally we capitalise, unless it can be proven it's artist intent and not some cover designer's idea of "cool"

        • 2006-04-14 10418, 2006

      • tro
        tma: the album is question is mostly in japanese with some english-named tracks, so i'm not sure if it's just the artists intent or their crappy knowledge of english

        • 2006-04-14 10407, 2006

      • tma
        ahh, japanese is a bit of an exception

        • 2006-04-14 10428, 2006

        I've got a problematic title: La Petite Anna a Mogene Meaux; I have one source suggesting that it should be "Magene", either way, anyone know what "Mogene Meaux" means?

        • 2006-04-14 10438, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        Or, is that a proper noun -- as in someone's name?

        • 2006-04-14 10420, 2006

      • tma
        I don't know French, but it has the look of a proper noun to me

        • 2006-04-14 10458, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        I'm thinking it should be translated as "Mogene Meaux's little daughter Anna", basically. I think Meaux is a common cajun last name.

        • 2006-04-14 10409, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        That would make Mogene/Magene a first name??

        • 2006-04-14 10426, 2006

      • tma
        kind of a French "Megan" perhaps?

        • 2006-04-14 10447, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        Interesting thought. Hmmm. Worth checking out!

        no, probably not

        actually, I wanted to drop in to say there's no hard feelings, and really my decision to leave is nothing to do with MB per se

        are you leaving completely or just not being an automod anymore?

        • 2006-04-14 10430, 2006

      • tma
        leaving completely, pretty much. I've unsubbed from all the lists now, including mb-automod.

        • 2006-04-14 10455, 2006

      • nikki_
        aww! pop in from time to time and say hi though!

        • 2006-04-14 10455, 2006

      • tma
        I'm still a member of MB though, and I'll keep an eye on my subscribed artists, but I'm not really going to be all that involved any more

        Is there a way to record PUIDs for tracks without having to encode every single track into an mp3 or so?

        • 2006-04-14 10429, 2006

      • asmodai
        I just added this CD I have: http://musicbrainz.org/album/6511af8d-59d2-4b9d-9…

        • 2006-04-14 10446, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        Pweeds can be calculated on wav's, as well as a variety of other formats.

        • 2006-04-14 10401, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        ... and, you can do one track at a time, too.

        • 2006-04-14 10439, 2006

      • asmodai
        mmm

        • 2006-04-14 10456, 2006

      • asmodai
        So I will have to rip regardless.

        • 2006-04-14 10455, 2006

      • ArgoNavis
        Ripping is inevitable, I'm afraid. The MuddleMixerMagicMusicThingieIP program needs the acoustic information for the track to be able to analyze it & calculate the Pweed.

        • 2006-04-14 10414, 2006

        The artist name gives me about twenty hits, which list only this one single album. All the pages have the same list of tracks, which, IMO, looks like a crappy freedb import.

        Yeah, Tobacco Road is a hit from the 60's by Nashville Teens.

        Most of the tracks on that MB album are on some version of Tobacco Road, but not all.

        So it makes me wonder, where does that album come from.

        • 2006-04-14 10416, 2006

        So far I haven't found anything that would suggest that kind of album exists.

        hmm.. so is synth synthesizer and samples made with a sampler.. or?

        • 2006-04-14 10432, 2006

      • asmodai
        synth synthesizer doesn't necessarily have to be a sampler

        • 2006-04-14 10454, 2006

      • catmo
        no I mean is a synth a synthesizer

        • 2006-04-14 10412, 2006

      • catmo
        and if it says he did samples does that mena he used sampler

        • 2006-04-14 10415, 2006

      • asmodai
        mmm, I think synth can also be used different, synth guitar and such, but that's terminology I am not the greatest in

        • 2006-04-14 10442, 2006

      • catmo
        well the full thingy is guitars synths & samples

        • 2006-04-14 10453, 2006

      • catmo
        so ifit was guitar synths I think it would say that
