        panda: added mod note with suggesstion
      • Nyght
        Is this accurate about the importance of the singer? Should this be an addition to the feat. style?
      • wolfsong13
        i'll probably start with a remix of the demo
      • i'll donate to the cause!
      • LOL
      • dMp_panda
        yllona: thks ;)
      • yllona
        nyght: feat is fine, as i hope that issue will go away soon in the tagger. can you please grab me a quick link to the feat. style guideline. i'm posting a comment now
      • Nyght
        grabbing
      • Shepard
        haha that definition on FeaturingArtist is good
      • a featuring artist is one that follows the guideline for it
      • that avoids conflicts...
      • Nyght
        actually I would just do the first two, if they want to dig, the others are intertwingled pretty well.

        nyght: comment added
      • dMp_panda is strongly disturbed by the use of the "feat" thing on jazz compilations, where they... don't really make sense. Or do they?
      • panda: i hate them myself.
      • i use ARs. if you're using the tagger for jazz, well -- what kind of fan are you anyway? :P
      • dMp_panda
        yllona: I really want to kill them. Can't we just push in "earlier release" and ARs to clean them up?
      • pjo joined the channel
      • lol
      • deal ;)
      • yllona
        eh, i got spanked when i removed feat. from some artists... i just let them be and add the ARs where needed
      • *removed the feat. from some tracks, sorry
      • Nyght
        It wasn't that they went to feat, it was they were adding the lead vocal into the feat... I'm just trying to figure out if lead vocal was supposed to be in the feat. To my knowledge, there was no reason for it.
      • dMp_panda
        none shall pass on my favorite :p
      • yllona
        nyght: he's correct for the tru tango fan
      • MingVase
        yllona: well... until the tagger supports converting ARs to feat., people are going to be... unhappy about feat. being removed from stuff.
      • Nyght
        I've never seen that in our titles and it seemed like overkill, should it go to mb style then? Even though this feat. is a "fix"?
      • dMp_panda
        MingVase: who should we push to enhance the tagger? :D
      • Nyght
        they weren't removing.. they were adding more information than "normal" Martin.
      • yllona
        Nyght: i'd rather not see anymore feats. thank you.
      • Nyght
        and, because I don't know tango as well.. I'm asking people that know better.
      • lol okay. :)
      • MingVase
        dMp_panda: I'm reasonably certain that lukz fiddles with picard...
      • yllona
        it screws up other applications that don't use MB
      • MingVase
        dMp_panda: there's a proposal up on the wiki, http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/TaggerScript iirc for nifty support for ARs in the tagger...
      • dMp_panda
        MingVase: thks. I'll dig in ;)
      • Nyght
        okay... just getting stronger input, thanks yllona, I felt like I mighta messed up with the no vote.
      • MingVase
        I like the idea... given that I'm not using picard for my collection, though, I'm going to have to roll my own for getting ARs into the filenames (not that I'd have filename collisions without, but I'm pedantic)...
      • dMp_panda
        MingVase: I'm mainly using QuodLibet. Strenght of it is you can code python plugins very easily.

      • wolfsong13
        QuodLibet?
      • dMp_panda
        yes. You know it?
      • wolfsong13
        nope
      • dMp_panda
        it has its drawbacks
      • MingVase has a script in perl that takes the data from XMLWebService, and the encoded tracks, then applies the comments, and writes them out to the correct directory structure...
      • but it features really powerfull regexp trickery, and that plugable thing which is very nice

        ..."Online Journal of Christian Theology and Philosophy"? I'm not feeling lucky, it seems... =)
      • dMp_panda
        wolfsong13: something near http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/ or in some distros
      • wolfsong13: although you'll have to write your own plugs for a proper MB support
      • inhouseuk
        doh! If people are going to attempt phishing emails they need to put a better subject than "Urgent Sercurity Warming"
      • wolfsong13
        ok brits... what's a bollard?
      • yllona
        yes, what is it? i saw taht in article today
      • inhouseuk
        something placed in the road to prevent traffic
      • MingVase
        a pole (removable) stuck in the road to prevent vehicular traffic.
      • dMp_panda plays for yllona Out to Lunch! (Eric Dolphy, Blue Note 1964), and wishes everybody good night ;)
      • yllona
        g'night panda
      • wolfsong13
        yllona: LOL what were you reading? George Michael?
      • yllona

      • wolfsong13

      • LOL
      • dMp_panda has quit

      • wolfsong13

      • inhouseuk
        yup
      • Shepard
        I find lots of spokenword biographies from the same label like the one I added earlier today. all credited to the artist they are about :(
      • inhouseuk
        :(
      • Shepard
        seems I have to do a major cleanup there
      • inhouseuk
        that's messy
      • MingVase away!s to get ready to terrorise the streets for another 90 minutes.

      • Nyght
        Can I get some opinions?
      • Is there any predetermined way the "subtitles" are handled? Should it be All Aboard: Main street, or All Aboard, main street? yeah.. any suggestions would be appreciatied!

      • yllona is listening to Hey Joe by Seal from Seal: MTV Unplugged (1996) (0:42 / 4:20)
      • wolfsong13
        last i recall the subtitle stuff only applies to release titles not tracks
      • wolfsong13 is listening to Men at Work - Down Under [from "Contraband: The Best of Men at Work" (1996)]
      • that said i'd go with parens
      • Nyght
        okay, just thought I would dig into other's minds on this one. ;) getting to where I'm actually "down enough" to start thinking about titles.
      • wolfsong13 is listening to Laura Branigan - Moonlight on Water (edit) [from "Moonlight on Water" (1990)]
      • Nyght begins to think that an ar From [input info here] would be a not too bad of an idea.
      • wolfsong13
        as "proof"
      • Nyght
        pretty much... not something that would have to be linked... and i have no idea how difficult etc.. but, From (catagory) movie, tv, film whatnot, and then whatever the from is.
      • nikki_
        eek
      • I look away for a couple of minutes and everyone starts talking
      • Nyght
        make ya wonder if someone's talking behind your back nikki?
      • nikki_
        I would use parentheses for those titles too
      • Nyght
        Thanks! That's the first place the "understatement" has made sense to me.. usually I'm trying to figure out if it's an area of the park, or a different "movement" to the main song.
      • nikki_
        Nyght: nah, but I like to not have to keep scrolling back ;)
      • Nyght
        true true.. I do appreciate it when you do and give me input for a question!
      • nikki_
        anymore japanese disney stuff to terrorise me with? :P
      • wolfsong13 is still a bit puzzled that his "radical" post didn't get much reaction last week
      • which?
      • wolfsong13
        nikki_: TS is scheduled for 0.9.0 of picard
      • nikki_
        scheduled yes.
      • there are plenty of scheduled buses that never turn up here :P
      • wolfsong13 can't remember the subject at the moment
      • wolfsong13
        LMAO
      • Nyght
        There is one. ;0)
      • nikki_
        really?
      • Nyght
      • But, I haven't found a good source yet for the tracks.
      • wolfsong13
        left right?
      • Nyght
        yeah, the left speaker plays one bit, and the right plays the other.
      • wolfsong13
      • Nyght
        Therefore you can move the balance to that side to listen to it more clearly etc. (found a write up on it)
      • Nyght still doesn't feel she has a good enough grasp on alias to enter into that form of conversation
      • how has your soundtrack proposal come along wolfie? ;)
      • nikki_
        whoa, I can't read that
      • nikki_ looks at this disney thing
      • wolfsong13
        Nyght: this weekend was bad
      • i had no a/c on saturday
      • too hot to focus
      • and then yesterday i ran errands
      • Nyght
        It's okay. ;) I'm not pressing.. in fact, I'm down to I believe thirty discs in disney and if you came up with something I liked I might dig and dig and get them all straight..
      • Nyght shudders
      • wolfsong13 hates it when write ups have erroneous data
      • wolfsong13
        and it's the artist own label no less!
      • Nyght
        :(
      • wolfsong13
        the headline is "Five For Fighting Offers a Sneak Peek at Their Sophomore Album"
      • they've already release a second album
      • and it had a moderate hit "100 Years" or something
      • nikki_
        grml
      • I hate flash
      • I can't even get it to install for firefox

        mutter mutter - loads of open mods.... mutter mutter - newbie users.... mutter mutter.....
      • nikki_
        it gives me the license screen and my only option is 'cancel'
      • Nyght
        inhouseuk: even approving a lot of mods (only approve those I'm absolutely sure of) I couldn't keep "up". :(
      • inhouseuk
        yup
      • inhouseuk sighs
      • If I don't take a break from voting and get some sleep, I'll end up leaving less than polite mod notes for new users
