hee... hee... mud encountring all the fun and having all the same complaints

only 5k mods and you caught up with mo

go, muddy, go!

lol

you mean you cant find the VA titled "Greatest Pop Hits" with 23 tracks

I was wondering if I would hit 60k mods before mo

oh, that one! ;)

:) .. no not that one shep its the one with 2 Ashlee Simpson tracks not just 1

damn

right now I cant find "most wanted hits" that has the same tracklisting

but crap i remember seeing that one somewhere titled "Greatest 22 Pop Hits" but had 23 tracks ;)

and crap if mud is anymore glued to his computer Im thinking he showers in the same room...

compilers cant count, its a wellknown fact

showers?

i was curious... 15 straight hours of editing on MusicBrainz is a SICKNESS if you didn't know :-)

Mmmm, obsessive compulsive disorder for a fact.

i take it you don't have a day job and are a "schooler" thats out on break

I do work occasionly.

or if you do have a day job ask them if their hiring cuz i wanna get paid while I get to play 15hours on Musicbrainz

I'm self employed right now, so I only do work when I need the money

mud works... yeah when you see the edit total dip below 4k for the week you know he took a day off :P

Tele, go to work for DOL> :D

dol?

Department of Labour? *shrugs*

hi joan

hello joan

thats what i thought too.. but still didnt get it

Yeah Martin.. tele should recall that.

Hi Joan

i should?

G'day Joan.

high mudcrow, shep, beth, martin and tele

Hey Joannie Jett

Yeah, I work at home and do billing for DOL, and get paid to be on the computer.. you asked if I ever was tempted to fake thebills. :D

oh yeah... you did work for them...

Joannie Jett? dark hair yes but I can't sing to save my life

who said.. turn on the shower a clip on the waterproof earbuds and crank the ipod ;)

hehe do you sing in the shower Joan?

no - I can still hear myself even in the shower. Too many cigarettes over too many years.

Eh, you should still sing, it's good for the soul

even if it makes the ears cringe

I sing in my head

a large number of the artists today can't sing either, but they seem to get an income from it

very true inhouse - when I was a teenager I won a singing competition representing London Schools. I was a soprano back then

you never want to hear me "sing"

so whats your goal mud to beat zout? (not that that's your motivation... well maybe it is ;) )

my goal is to clear up these VA compilations

well i hope you have a good savings cuz you won't be working again for awhile if that's your plan

Eh, mudcrow You and I are as insane :)

mudcrow: isn't that like trying to sweep a desert clean?

yes martin

everybody on here is insane - it's one of the criteria for gaining admittance

I do wish people who enter bootlegs would put a link as to where to find it - it would save an awful lot of work

It's always annoyed me that every time I entered a release, I would find loads of VA comps linked to the wrong artist, so I thought I'd try to clean them up a bit, not realising just how big a job that would be

just delete the va comp is quicker ;)

I'm tempted to delete loads. theres a lot I see no reason for keeping in the db

then delete - I am sure if it is valid then someone will object and it can be re-instated

holy crap you are at 59k.. i thought i looked the other day and you were like 25k away from me... you did 4k in edits in like 3 days!

lets start with all those bloody Promo Only radio comps. they really annoy me :p

mud is a machine he is only part human ;)

hee hee... i tell ya you bitch about the same va crap i did before...

wtf is a Promo Only Radio Comp and why do we need them if they are promo only for the radio

the radio programme will have long gone and everybody will have forgotten about it

censorship! :P

its just some crap that found its way on p2p's and is no different then any other VA of its time

its not radio Joan, they are promo compilations only avaible to proffesional DJs through subscription. so they shouldnt be that many in circulation

sorry - my misunderstanding

but we seem to have just about every one in the db, I think someone has just copied the tracklistings from the website

actually it was my bad i shoud have stated the title correctly "Promo Only Mainstream Radio" as in "Mainstream Radio" is the series they call it

I've got three CDs around somewhere which are promo only... one I think was a mass-mailing from the state government...

well actually mud should have said the title correct ;)

Promo Only: Mainstream Radio. There's Promo Only: Indie and gawd knows how many other series they do too

it's so funny that i don't think a single 1 has a disc id and if 2 have a release even added even though its part of the title i'd be amazed

release event added

oh boy.. to my surprise .. 1 with a disc id and about 10 with dates, out of a few hundred

damn search.. ok 4 with disc id's

didnt the damn buckeyefan guy enter most of those

he seems to be the submitter on the ones i've looked at

i seem remember voting no on some... the others i see have 0 votes

and they all seem to be imported from Freedb

like most dodgy entries, most seem to have passed with no votes

yea.. i voted no on 21 of them :)

all buckeyefan and all about 8/9 February this year

yeah mine i caught were the end of Feb

La Reina Del Baile from Oro: Grandes Exitos by ABBA

Dancing Queen in Spanish

and im sure all the trm's are just people tagging crap with a matching track but having nothing to do with that release

Not my promos, but I'm a little more touchy about disc ids for my promo lists. :D

Then again tele said I better be... so. :D

agrees with tele

so who's gonna start puttin in remove edits for them :P .. we can problem hit em all by the top of the hour before anyone has a chance to say otherwise

18 minutes to go

well. they are in the db now. and I do have the website confirming they are subscription only releases.

vote: Yes

already looking at that - it's why I said yes

when i told that story they said well if its a subscription then its legit and if its legit we should have it in the db.. blah blah blah yacky yacky poo

and i was like if they have a subscription you will see they offer it in tagged form so there is no reason for them to tag it here cuz it comes tagged

Okay, I recall what annoyed me about allowing "VA" torrents... then you can't find the actual release that was official if you are unsure about it.

yea i dont get any of that , im still waiting for the explanation between that and a homebrew...

I didnt know we allowed VA torrents, I've voted down every release that I can only find via torrents

I was, but then when it hit the mailing list, it seems that's a grey area not decided upon.

VA torrents?

Aankh|Clone is now known as Aankhen``

yea the people who get crap via torrent are Grey about it

What are VA torrents?

Those homebrew compilations distributed through torrents?

I don't see the point of any VA compilation if the tracks are widely available on official releases

*VA bootleg comp

DING!

DING!

DON^H^H^HDING!

but, it's like, if we vote them down, then we're doing an unwritten "rule" now...

but the VA bootleg has jimmy blowing his nose inbetween tracks so its different from the official

LOL tele!

Joan, ya wanna up your vote count?

and who's jimmy ... jimmy was the guy who ripped the cd from Sally who borrowed it from Tom who then forwarded it Mike who mucked the tracks up some more.. then gave it to Clark who distributed amongst his mp3 buddies who added more crap to the tags, clipped half the tracks off and then gave it to Marty who seeded it on torrent.. so thats how Alex got it who then tried to unbork the track...

...clips and took jimmy blowing his nose as a track transition ... whew! :P

and it's not just Promo Only Mainstream Radio - if you look at their site they have 26 different promo lists http://www.promoonly.com/view_listings.php

and if you didnt get all that... if you just took the CD that jimmy ripped you'd have the official disc already in the db, so why add the crap torrent version... cut out the middle man

teleGUISE: just as well he wasn't farting!

I've been waiting for someone to download their database and start importing the whole lot

Oh, but I have that torren inhouse~!

inhouseuk: oh wait... thats the other being seeded now

vote count increased

wb Joan

see nyght already has it ;)

oh be sure to add the disc id when he was constipated to the correct disc not the burping version

because that will bork up our track times

should I burn it gapless, so it's closer to legit, or make it with four second gaps to insure it's known to be homebrew?

i think 4 should be good cuz its already about 6 since it went ring around the rosy

and Joan if you want to know why I'm referring to freedb.. http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=5057581

I don't trust anything coming from Freedb - always look for verification

well crap now that everyone is voting im not editing ;) ...

i need to go on a quick bogus disc id rampage

Ah, you can finish the metalica and queen I didn't get back to. :D

those clear out quick.

okay - here is where I show my ignorance - how can you tell if a disc id is bogus?
