        If you've been on the net a long time, then you'd have learned that it's completely pointless to try and abbreviate a three-letter word to one-letter.

        but I just missed out on all the text messaging craze and learnt to type before I got into instant messaging, thus I can type words out faster than I stop and think about which letter to replace them with :)

      • nechto13
        i think his music is more satirical than mordant though. at least some of it

        • 2006-01-08 00819, 2006

      • yllona
        i've heard it on NPR, IIRC. i think randy newman is the best satirist songwriter'

        • 2006-01-08 00809, 2006

      • nechto13
        allright i'll look him up, i have heard of him, but i don't think i'm familiar with his music

        • 2006-01-08 00810, 2006

      • yllona
        and sondheim is the best composer/lyricist for satire/parody and just sheer bitchiness. also the most elegant melodies

        • 2006-01-08 00843, 2006

      • nechto13
        can you suggest something in particular by sondheim?

        it's been recorded (finally)... the production was cancelled *twice*. it was to premier the first time, but was cancelled for Gulf War I (too controversial). a revival was scheduled, then came Gulf War II, was cancelled again.

        there's a movement in jazz historians to credit compositions by given name. so duke ellington is credited as "edward kennedy ellington", dizzy gillespie is "john birks gillespie", etc. can be confusing if you don't know the trivia.

        why is it still being used anyway? there is a track parser to make importing easier.

        maybe so everyone can complain when n00b

        are importing duplicates

        because the track parser sucks in opera?

        • 2006-01-08 00803, 2006

      • nikki_
        because freedb comes with track times?

        99% of my disc adds (not counting very new bootlegs) are still from freedb for simplicity.

        Granted, unlike the newbies I know how to clean them up. ;-)

        what happens if track parser is used with opera?

        • 2006-01-08 00800, 2006

      • nikki_
        depends how opera feels

        sometimes it won't let me submit the album, other times it ignores all my clicks, sometimes it works...

        freedb import, however, always works.

        i've seen parser do the ignore thing, especially if some of the fields are already filled in

      • HairMetalAddict sips coffee #2 and digs through some add album mods that are expired but open due to no votes
