        Cheers.
      • Shepard
        hm
      • or actually no :D
      • slaad
        Oh?
      • nightgroove
        oh CASE-ing

        "Night Riders (Reiter der Nacht Remix von Boole)"
      • nightgroove
        as I read it

      • mudcrow
        hmm
      • Remix another Capitalised word in German?
      • Shepard
        it's in a context of german words, so english capitalisation doesn't work here. one has to see it as a foreign word
      • Knio has quit
      • slaad
        Yeah... I'm totally confused :)
      • Shepard
        and as it's a noun it has to be capitalised in german
      • mudcrow
        not arguing, just thinking
      • Shepard
        not arguing either, just explaining :)
      • mudcrow
        :P
      • thank you for explaining
      • Shepard
        np :)
      • slaad
        Okay, so any complaints for entering it as "Night Riders (Reiter der Nacht Remix von Boole)" ?
      • mudcrow
        nope
      • slaad
        How do you remove an Amazon URL from an album?
      • Shepard
        in the same way you remove any other relationship
      • mudcrow
        edit relationships then delete
      • slaad
      • Doesn't have any relationships, but it still has an Amazon info and buy link. Or is that normal?
      • mudcrow
        thats an old script generated ASIN, you'll need to add an ASIN to remove that one.
      • slaad
        Ah, yay.
      • Okay... with that particular release it's the European release. Can I use Amazon.de for the link? (Only the US release appears on .com, and I can't find either on .co.uk)
      • Shepard
        sure
      • slaad
        Hrm... didn't appear to like that.
      • Oh wait.. yes it did. But the info / buy links redirect to .com, where it doesn't exist.
      • mudcrow
        the info / buy links redirect to whatever amazon shop you set in preferences
      • slaad
        Ah, okay.
      • nightgroove
        you can go fix it in the setting now :3
      • nightgroove loves that

      • dsrbecky
        to anyone around here: I would appreciate any comment on my Picard interface proposal: http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbra...
      • mudcrow is happy with picard as it is
      • luks too
      • luks
        but you all already know that :)
      • FauxFaux thinks waiting for the framework to actually work is needed before trying to change the interface.
      • nikki_
        yarrrr
      • nikki_ doesn't really like the single panel proposal
      • nightgroove
        I like the two apnel idea
      • panel
      • FauxFaux likes the old taggar :P
      • but i'm not that displeased with the current picard
      • it works *remarcably* well
      • nikki_ would like picard more or less how it is, with two horizontal panels
      • nightgroove nods a hat to luks
      • I *really* like the lastes picard
      • nikki_
        so I can scroll separately and drop things from top to bottom without having to scroll up and down all the time
      • nightgroove
        btw: I meantioned that it woulsnt load cd's once, remember? but that was bogus of my computer so nothing to worry about
      • MartinRudat
        hmm... /me dittoes nikki.
      • nightgroove
        yes
      • that's the *only* thing a bit condfusing with it'
      • nikki_
        I don't particularly like the idea of *vertical* columns 'cause then there's a limited amount of width for the titles
      • luks
        nikki_: with two horizontal panels you would have to resize them all the time
      • nightgroove
        ideally I'd like some sort of browser internal window, it would make it easier to identify single tracks.. but I realise that's not going nt ohappen for reasons that it would make the interface impossible :)
      • nikki_
        why?
      • luks
        well, unleas you are running if fullscreen
      • *unless
      • nikki_
        I always do
      • nightgroove
        luks: se always runs stuff at fullscreen :)
      • she*
      • nikki_
        hehe
      • FauxFaux
        nightgroove: WX has a browser widget, soemone insane could make the server serve mini mobile-targetted pages :)
      • dsrbecky
        Ok, ok, I know that you all are used to the current Picard. The question is what would new users like and find 'intuitive'.
      • FauxFaux
        dsrbecky: A clone of the old tagger!
      • nightgroove
        oohh
      • nei
      • the old tagger is :(
      • dsrbecky
        FauxFaux: ....and useful
      • nightgroove
        I don't use it anymore
      • it buggers up æøå and accents
      • nikki_
        dsrbecky: that's exactly the problem, some people think the old tagger had a way better interface, others say the new one does
      • nightgroove
        and unicode is forgetabout it
      • I like the iframe browser thing thought. but that's' about the only thing
      • the old tagger is is *easier for newbies*
      • FauxFaux
        Picard 'leaves room to be desired' when dealing with VA cds and recognising badly tagged things, about all that I use it for.
      • nightgroove
        but also its easier to make mistakes i n that 'why should I care i'm getting my tags right'
      • hmm
      • luks
        all of my files tagged with the old tagger were mistagged
      • dsrbecky
        but neither the old tagger nor Picard are helpping me much in tagging 100 directories without messing things up
      • luks
        different releases, etc.
      • FauxFaux
        Um, that quoted bit makes no sense at all, never mind.
      • nightgroove
        in picard you have to search youself. in the old tagger, you uhad to do that to, but it was more transaprent since you did the searchin *within the program'
      • FauxFaux hasn't really thought about it, I'd like to have a go at reimplementing the old tagger, though.
      • and you still lhave to do a lookup for m the program, and then you can get the tagger icon to work, but I'm used tothat by now
      • not going to happen
      • luks
        maybe yes
      • nightgroove
        maybe yes o nwhat luks?
      • luks
        the old tagger ui for picard
      • nightgroove
        yes, some thing, a bit simmilar
      • for all its faults, the ui in the old tagger did *work*
      • FauxFaux
        It also didn't make me want to hurt babies.
      • nightgroove
        but having both the curent picard interface and something with other windows is esencial, people lahave gotten used to picard now
      • luks
        it didn't for me, as i said, all my files were mistagger :p
      • *mistagged
      • FauxFaux wonders if it's necessary to target win98 anymore.
      • nightgroove
        yes I mean, the problems between 'what goes here and wtf and what is this and the inline browser' worked
      • not that it was correct :)
      • FauxFaux
        Ooh, we can just make them use Picard, ahaha.
      • mudcrow
        the old tagger didnt work for me very well, I only have full releases and it was so hard to tell if every track from an album was being tagged from the same release
      • nightgroove
        picard is a goodsent easy with album tagging
      • I've been doing that recently and its *so* much easiert
      • this book on percussion is vey helpfull
      • I have to lend it back to the library to dat though, which is bah, since i've just started reading ti today
      • dsrbecky
        mudcrow: So how do you like my interface? If you have only full releases it should be ideal
      • nightgroove
        the new interface is to deal with singular track adding, the old interface works fine for albums
      • tagging not adding
      • mudcrow
        cant really comment without actually using it. took me ages to get used to picards quirks, so I'm a bit hesitant of any changes
      • nightgroove
        we need to have bot interfaces
      • exactly for that reason mud said
      • luks
        yes, that's probably what will happen
      • two interfaces
      • nightgroove
        ;)
      • i like that idea
      • dsrbecky
        I think that the current Picard makes album tagging easier, but it is still track centric as the old tagger was. I want real album centric tagger.
      • nightgroove
        what would be coolest, is if you could switch interfaces seamlessly, and the stuff loaded would still be loaded
      • erh
      • it is album centric?
      • FauxFaux
        It's a shame there are no sane languages for writing GUIs in.
      • (NOT python, not java..)
      • nightgroove
        wtf is wrong with python?
      • :p
      • dsrbecky
        well we can have two interfaces - the current picard and the new interface in QT - if people find the new one great there will be no need to port the old interface to QT
