        • 2006-01-06 00616, 2006

      • Shepard
        artist with most albums

        • 2006-01-06 00628, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        which is kind of funny

        • 2006-01-06 00633, 2006

      • luks
        bach is the artist with most albums, afaik

        • 2006-01-06 00643, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        either way, funny

        • 2006-01-06 00635, 2006

      • Shepard
        ah yes it was bach

        • 2006-01-06 00637, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        i guess 200 years give an advantage

        • 2006-01-06 00600, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        hmm there has to be an easier way of doing this

        • 2006-01-06 00628, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        (music isnt being matched to anything on mb, so i have to manually drag the songs to the results... however theres 20+ tracks and i cant see the proper match and the song on the screen at the asme time)

        • 2006-01-06 00638, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        same*

        UserErr0r: in picard?

        • 2006-01-06 00649, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        yeah

        • 2006-01-06 00636, 2006

      • thelijah
        do some very basic tagging on the files ... artist/album/title need to be filled in (though not exactly right)

        • 2006-01-06 00632, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        set em all to proper artist and/or album, and then readd to picard?

        • 2006-01-06 00647, 2006

        • 2006-01-06 00624, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        hmm, how well is picard at handling id3v2 tags where the title field has the track number in it (even though thats what the track field is for :o)

        • 2006-01-06 00656, 2006

      • thelijah
        yep! i think it will still have a hard time matching track to track unless it's filled in too :| if they have some "regular" naming convention, you can use another program (tagtool, easytag...) to fill these in automatically

        • 2006-01-06 00628, 2006

      • thelijah
        it's decent. it does some amount of "fuzzy" matching, so tracks will appear with a color coding depending on how well they're matched

        • 2006-01-06 00649, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        hmm, i assume i need to load these tracks into winamp to do the basic retagging

        • 2006-01-06 00605, 2006

      • thelijah
        although very often, the match will look perfect to you and i, but it will appear red(bad) because it has some caps issues, or something equally as small

        • 2006-01-06 00606, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        just the problem of finding the music folder (im going thru my dad's music collection and having them properly tagged...)

        • 2006-01-06 00631, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        but each drive has at least 4 different music folders :/

        • 2006-01-06 00642, 2006

      • thelijah
        UserErr0r: if you're on win. i suggest http://mp3tag.de/en

        • 2006-01-06 00640, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        i dont mind using winamp for manual tag editing

        • 2006-01-06 00648, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        its just the finding the folder part, which no software can help

        • 2006-01-06 00653, 2006

      • thelijah
        how many files do you have to do?

        • 2006-01-06 00654, 2006

      • thelijah
        :)

        • 2006-01-06 00658, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        no clue

        • 2006-01-06 00601, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        im doing these as i find em

        • 2006-01-06 00640, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        a couple hundred to 1 or 2 thousand maybe

        • 2006-01-06 00604, 2006

      • thelijah
        ah... i woudln't do more than about 5 with winamp ... that mp3tag is absolutely the right tool to fix tags... you can view/edit the tags of as many files as you like at once

        • 2006-01-06 00620, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        (have 200 in this folder im currently working with)

        • 2006-01-06 00638, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        well, its easy and fast to just mass-edit the album/artist for an album's worth of songs

        • 2006-01-06 00649, 2006

      • thelijah
        but then, you only need to do this tag stuff if it's empty... if it has something close to what it needs, picard should be able to match a good percentage of them

        • 2006-01-06 00652, 2006

      • UserErr0r
        but editing every little detail is indeed quite annoying with winamp

        • 2006-01-06 00600, 2006

      • thelijah
        yes!

        • 2006-01-06 00620, 2006

      • nikki_
        first we had double physics, in which we did stuff I've already done in mechanics.

        • 2006-01-06 00632, 2006

      • mustaqil
        Theory work then :\

        • 2006-01-06 00632, 2006

      • nikki_
        then I had sign language, where we redid the alphabet for the benefit of the new people

        • 2006-01-06 00648, 2006

      • nikki_
        then I had maths, where we're doing lots of revision

        • 2006-01-06 00659, 2006

      • nikki_
        then tutorial, which I used to sort my folder a bit

        • 2006-01-06 00610, 2006

      • nikki_
        then lunch, where I read the mb chatlogs and then played zelda

        • 2006-01-06 00619, 2006

      • nikki_
        then stats, where we did more revision

        • 2006-01-06 00633, 2006

      • nikki_
        then chemistry where we did stupid bloody ions and redox reactions

        • 2006-01-06 00641, 2006

      • nikki_
        i.e. gcse work

        • 2006-01-06 00650, 2006

      • nikki_
        but we get to do subshells soon, yippee.

        • 2006-01-06 00655, 2006

      • nikki_
        I like subshells

        • 2006-01-06 00610, 2006

      • mustaqil
        :O Whoa, your day is tediously long compared to mine, I guess you wouldv'e been better off staying at home getting a lie and revising at your own pace at your own whim I guess

        • 2006-01-06 00648, 2006

      • nikki_
        after the exams I'll have to change it, because we'll be doing D1 instead of S1

        • 2006-01-06 00622, 2006

      • mustaqil
        Ahhh D1, how I've missed ye.... Haven't touched it in ages and we'll be starting it again after the Tuesday exam

        • 2006-01-06 00611, 2006

      • nikki_
        the fact that if I don't get to uni, I'm stuck in scunthorpe for the rest of my life?

        Whoa, I just class them all as "alleys", but I guess if I want to be correct, there's a snicket to the side of my house

        Even my own opinions have exceptions. ;-) Actually asking the mod for proof of existence... http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4017652

        Bootleg "best of" compilations are difficult to track down at best, and most likely are home brews.

        Home brews in the sense that they might be pirated compilations, which are very popular in the former east block countries

        So, pressed and everything, just not officially sanctioned

        Aware of those, it's just tracking them down that's an issue. The above submission could be one of those, or could be the guy's "these are my favorites" home brew

        Actually picked up a lot of bootleg "best of" cassettes in Saudi Arabia back during my 6-month Desert Storm cruise
