hmm, not impressed with adding PUIDs being called trivial, it's taken me weeks to actualy add PUIDs, after endless crashes, bugs, having to retag my whole collection cos MusicIP doesnt work with UTF16, hardly trivial
Joan_W
who said it was trivial - I don't even know what a PUID is
if I sound ignorant, it is because on that subject I am totally ignorant. Probably because I don't own an mp3 and so don't know what is involved in the process, but it sounds very complicated from what I have been reading. Hardly trivial.
Mudcrow
PUID is the new fingerprint, used in picard beta, you need to submit the audio fingerprint to MusicIP first (if there isnt one already), then picard will add the little black splodgy thing to the track

one day I will probably have to start looking at mp3's, but until then Ithink I will be content with my CD's and vinyls - a real dinosaur

question please. I want to add a relationship to the Rory Gallagher page to say that he was a member of the group Taste. I know how to add Amazon ASIN's and all the other stuff, but how do I do this?
HairMetalAddict
Go to one artist page, click "Use this artist in a relationship". Go to second artist and do the same. Then "Create Relationship" link will appear
donredman
Joan_W: select the artist, in the AR pane, then navigate to the group and select that too, then an option "create relationship" will show
:-) grmp, I was slower
Joan_W
Thanks a lot - will give it a try. - never mind about being slower - I have at least had two answers and that's nice.
HairMetalAddict
Super-mad typing skillz. ;-)
Joan_W
almost as fast as mine
donredman
HairMetalAddict: I still need four levels to get this one ;-)
Joan_W
but, I started off on a manual typewriter, and if you can type 80 wpm on one of those, you can be superfast on this
mustaqila`
You go to one artist page, select to use it in a relationship..
Joan_W
thanks to you too muz
HairMetalAddict
*snicker*
Joan_W
it worked - hurray
that means I have just found a new project - creating relationships for all my subscribed artists. Clear some space on the desk for Pete Frames Rock Family Trees and The Great Rock Discography - lots of page turning coming up

G'day.
Can someone enlighten me how to get an artist with a featuring artist worked out for an album?
Just added a missing album to the database. And need to make one track have an additional artist, but a bit stumped how to do such a thing correctly.
Mudcrow
is it a collaboration bewteen two artists or is it an artist with a featured artist?
asmodai
artist with featured
Mudcrow
add (feat. artist) to track name, then click on the track and added a relationship to the featured artist with "performed" as the relationship
feat. artist - artist being the name
asmodai
Sankyu
asmodai makes the change
Btw, whoever is coding Picard, .7 rocks :)
Mudcrow
that would be luks.I thnk he does most of the coding on picard
asmodai
Cool. Now there's a project I would want to contribute to again. :)
website is also cool
(about time someone started a freedb/cddb replacement project)
When I change a track name from original to original (feat. blah) I can still use the original's track link to add the relationship, whilst I wait for the pending change to be ok'd?
Mudcrow
you can change it before the edit is approved, makes no difference
asmodai
Cool, so it allocates unique ids regardless of the ultimate name.
Mudcrow
don't you have track times for the rest of the album?
ojnkpjg
if names were a key, there'd be big problems :)
asmodai
Mudcrow: not yet
Mudcrow: only have 1 mp3 and started to work from there. :)
Mudcrow
asmodai, that's ok, it would be nice to have them though
asmodai
Mudcrow: I am trying to find them
Mudcrow: rest assured, I'm 'anal' about consistency and accuracy :)
Which is why freedb has been pissing me off, with all due respect.
Mudcrow
:)
ojnkpjg
freedb is full of crap entries, really
Mudcrow
freedb is evil
asmodai
ojnkpjg: *nods*
Especially: submit a new album entry, but use a different genre
Say what?!
*cough*
't Annoyed me. :)
When you select: performed {additional}{guest}{vocal} on
do you still need to select the guest checkbox?
Mudcrow
if it was a guest performance, yes, most featured artists would be guest performances
asmodai
ok, thought the {guest} implied that
Guess it doesn't.
(which, intuitively doesn't make sense to me)
Mudcrow
oh on vocal, yeah thats confusing, as its stating the same thing twice really
ojnkpjg
(feat. x) is legacy
asmodai
*nods* Exactly. The way I read it as a user it seems to duplicate.
ojnkpjg
it was how you expressed the relation before AR
AR still isn't fully integrated
hopefully feat. goes away from titles one day
Mudcrow
i hope so too, I don't like adding stuff to titles that isnt in the original title
asmodai
ojnkpjg: Still needed now, though?
ojnkpjg
yep
asmodai
Mudcrow: Basically mp3tags need an overhaul (again)
to properly express covers, featured artists, etc
I'm happy media monkey allows the use of artist and album artist
ah, think I found track times :D
Mudcrow
Muß I Denn... translation?
asmodai
Must I then?
Mudcrow
Wooden Heart (Muß I Denn...) (Laughing version) - German release of an Elvis Presley comp. does that title make sense?
