      • catmo
        then I'll create lovely mods
      • 2006-05-18 13847, 2006

      • Nyght
        That link is messed up and pretty useless I agree
      • 2006-05-18 13807, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        some of the purchase links are have session data in them
      • 2006-05-18 13815, 2006

      • catmo
        I wont remove your celldweller link nyght. it seems nicely formatted and looks prooper
      • 2006-05-18 13824, 2006

      • catmo
        and those I want to remove
      • 2006-05-18 13828, 2006

      • catmo
        session data : ugh
      • 2006-05-18 13830, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        maybe we should check for that stuff when they're entered
      • 2006-05-18 13842, 2006

      • Nyght
        thanks.. though all of mine should. Basically I request you stay away from the cruxshadows and the celldweller. :)
      • 2006-05-18 13853, 2006

      • catmo
        well those don't even *look* bogus
      • 2006-05-18 13855, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        we couldn't catch all of them, but i bet we could detect a good chunk
      • 2006-05-18 13804, 2006

      • Nyght
        other than that, I don't particularly care. 10 years I think has one.. but, I don't recall it's formatting.
      • 2006-05-18 13824, 2006

      • catmo
        yea
      • 2006-05-18 13834, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i've noticed a few albums that have itms in the title when they're itunes only
      • 2006-05-18 13836, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i know iron & wine has one
      • 2006-05-18 13843, 2006

      • Nyght
        It's not too hard, check relationship adds album level
      • 2006-05-18 13844, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        can't think of any others off the top of my head
      • 2006-05-18 13847, 2006

      • catmo
        I don't dissagree with the way nyghts link was. I could open thapage, but it had a picture of the album thingy there and words
      • 2006-05-18 13852, 2006

      • Nyght
        I think you can format the vote search that way.
      • 2006-05-18 13815, 2006

      • catmo
        couldn't
      • 2006-05-18 13825, 2006

      • Nyght
        nope, it's just add relationship period
      • 2006-05-18 13833, 2006

      • Nyght
        you'd get it intermingled with a bunch of other things.
      • 2006-05-18 13842, 2006

      • catmo
        are you talking to me Nyght ?
      • 2006-05-18 13852, 2006

      • nikki_
        that link had a picture?
      • 2006-05-18 13859, 2006

      • 2006-05-18 13801, 2006

      • catmo

      • Nyght
        talking how you could catch them at the get go
      • 2006-05-18 13809, 2006

      • nikki_
        all I got was an error about an unsupported url
      • 2006-05-18 13820, 2006

      • catmo
        oh. that's in all ter time
      • 2006-05-18 13837, 2006

      • nikki_
        ?
      • 2006-05-18 13841, 2006

      • catmo
        yea
      • 2006-05-18 13847, 2006

      • catmo
        my fingers are the wtf today
      • 2006-05-18 13858, 2006

      • catmo
        I think I forgot what I meant to
      • 2006-05-18 13821, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        links from sites that use php that contain session data are pretty easy to pick off
      • 2006-05-18 13835, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        thinks like cartid are a giveaway, too
      • 2006-05-18 13835, 2006

      • Nyght
        basically I add itunes to the smaller bands.. the larger bands I could give two twinkies about.
      • 2006-05-18 13855, 2006

      • Nyght
        That's sorta what you need to isolate
      • 2006-05-18 13810, 2006

      • Nyght
        for inhouse's wonderful searches. :)
      • 2006-05-18 13812, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i think we need tigher guidelines :)
      • 2006-05-18 13821, 2006

      • catmo
        Nyght: that's a good thing. because the smaller bands seem like, well if you add a track/album spesific itunes exlusive link on there, i n that format, didn't eve ninclude 'itubes' i n the url
      • 2006-05-18 13829, 2006

      • Nyght
        possibly ojnkpjg
      • 2006-05-18 13832, 2006

      • catmo
        exactly
      • 2006-05-18 13849, 2006

      • catmo
        nyghts small bands linking scheme where not messy nor had session data
      • 2006-05-18 13856, 2006

      • catmo
        I can buy it. but he
      • 2006-05-18 13857, 2006

      • catmo
        h
      • 2006-05-18 13807, 2006

      • Nyght
        I can format how to do it on a wiki, after you do the "links not to put up"
      • 2006-05-18 13807, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        personally, i'd never want to see a link to bn.com or wal-mart.com or cduniverse, etc
      • 2006-05-18 13813, 2006

      • catmo
        I can't buy it, but heh, its still valid
      • 2006-05-18 13820, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        or any retailers, resellers, distributers
      • 2006-05-18 13825, 2006

      • catmo
        some random 'blablalba long ass edlinkomg.fhdsfhs/gsgdandsoemmoreDFHG
      • 2006-05-18 13830, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        unless it was exclusive to one
      • 2006-05-18 13834, 2006

      • catmo
        yes
      • 2006-05-18 13838, 2006

      • Nyght
        I personally hate it, but if it gets my bands the revenue they need to tour, I'll buy. :D
      • 2006-05-18 13853, 2006

      • catmo
        I'd like cdbaby, cduniverse and yahoo spesific links
      • 2006-05-18 13855, 2006

      • catmo
        but that's me
      • 2006-05-18 13801, 2006

      • catmo
        yes
      • 2006-05-18 13804, 2006

      • catmo
        I like cdbaby though
      • 2006-05-18 13806, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        sometimes cdbaby is the only place you can get releases from some artists
      • 2006-05-18 13810, 2006

      • catmo
        I know
      • 2006-05-18 13818, 2006

      • catmo
        I'd like a seperate cdbaby linktype
      • 2006-05-18 13818, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        so i think those need to be looked at carefully
      • 2006-05-18 13824, 2006

      • catmo
        I wont remove those
      • 2006-05-18 13827, 2006

      • catmo
        i'd add them
      • 2006-05-18 13830, 2006

      • Nyght
        cd baby is great, in some ways.. but a pain in others
      • 2006-05-18 13837, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i mostly just buy direct from labels
      • 2006-05-18 13839, 2006

      • Nyght
        you have to do it at the album, or it's a very ugly link
      • 2006-05-18 13840, 2006

      • catmo
        the search is a bit
      • 2006-05-18 13841, 2006

      • catmo
        erh
      • 2006-05-18 13848, 2006

      • catmo
        yes
      • 2006-05-18 13848, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        or from forcedexposure when it's an import and shipping is too expensive
      • 2006-05-18 13850, 2006

      • catmo
        but I don't mind
      • 2006-05-18 13800, 2006

      • catmo
        I don't think buy links should be per artist anyway
      • 2006-05-18 13805, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        what's ironic is i can walk to forced exposure's office
      • 2006-05-18 13807, 2006

      • catmo
        unless its an artist spesific sotore
      • 2006-05-18 13810, 2006

      • catmo
        store
      • 2006-05-18 13811, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        but i can't pick up an order there
      • 2006-05-18 13814, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i have to pay for shipping
      • 2006-05-18 13820, 2006

      • Nyght
        I personally think cd baby should be at the album level, period
      • 2006-05-18 13828, 2006

      • catmo
        Nyght: total agree
      • 2006-05-18 13838, 2006

      • Nyght
        though I've seen people want them at the artist level, because it's the only place they sell etc.
      • 2006-05-18 13839, 2006

      • catmo
        I'd remove any artist-cdbaby url
      • 2006-05-18 13847, 2006

      • Nyght
        and then I imagine it should go into annotation.
      • 2006-05-18 13853, 2006

      • catmo
        it sound lgo per album
      • 2006-05-18 13856, 2006

      • catmo
        should
      • 2006-05-18 13858, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        they could always change their minds later, too
      • 2006-05-18 13802, 2006

      • catmo
        who?
      • 2006-05-18 13805, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        so there's another reason to not add them at the artist level
      • 2006-05-18 13807, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        the artist
      • 2006-05-18 13813, 2006

      • catmo
        about twhat?
      • 2006-05-18 13829, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i don't know, suppose some artist becomes well-known and wants to sell their stuff in lots of places
      • 2006-05-18 13836, 2006

      • Nyght
        well cdbaby is about the best store for smaller artists
      • 2006-05-18 13836, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        some artist who was only selling on cdbaby before
      • 2006-05-18 13838, 2006

      • catmo
        oh well
      • 2006-05-18 13851, 2006

      • catmo
        I don't think we should remove cdbaby still
      • 2006-05-18 13853, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        i'm just agreeing that the links should be album level
      • 2006-05-18 13859, 2006

      • Nyght
        it has the lowest markup, from what I've gathered.
      • 2006-05-18 13859, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        instead of artist
      • 2006-05-18 13800, 2006

      • catmo
        unless the cdbaby link stoppped working
      • 2006-05-18 13808, 2006

      • Nyght

        I know from the artists I've talked to. They say, official website, cd baby, and then elsewhere.. usually amazon.

        a little bit messy - http://www.mb.inhouse.co.uk/itunes-artist.html and http://www.mb.inhouse.co.uk/itunes-album.html the artist one contains some non-itune entries because of my search term

      • 2006-05-18 13828, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        we should start a wiki page on this
      • 2006-05-18 13840, 2006

      • ojnkpjg
        there's been a bunch of talk about it in the last two days on irc
