(and i hang out with germans pretty often)

they just laugh when i say stuff like "danke merci" and "erdapfel",and it mostly goes downhill from there

rarrr

what's erdapfel?

thingy

nei da

synonym for kartoffel

potet

ah

pomme de terre!

♪ ta en potet ♪

it's french back translated into (something approaching) german

ohhhh!

swissgerman is full of that kind of thing

erd-apfel

yes

I read it as er-dapfel

er.. dapfftt?

.oO( blumentopferde )

blumenvafforno?

it's a joke..

hnn?

flower pot earth?

you go "hey do you know blumento-pferde?" - "what?" - "blumentopferde!" - "doh!"

flower pot soil it is. but you pronounce it as if it means blumento horses first

translate plz

ha

pfft

what does anyone think of http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=2740344

should I create a ticket?

reminds me, i would like one for artists with feat/med/othervariants in their name

i don't know, i'd rather see them filled by cdid entries

i'd rather see people go on a mass editing spree to enter release dates rather than track times

what does that mean?

uhm..

i'd rather wait until someone enters a cd to fill in the track times

same thing

either is important

it's just easier to be sure you have the correct info with release dates

yea whatever

i end up having to reset track times to ?:?? before i enter some CDs

so i'm wondering how someone can enter an itunes into only release without the track times or release date?

that reminds me also, can anyone name me any reasonably approachable mods from australia i could bug with some puzzles?

<ojnkpjg> i don't know, i'd rather see them filled by cdid entries

me too!

if it's doing the work for us, why not?

because nobody buys music anymore, maybe :P

i have one artist who has three separate discographies claiming a 1977 cd release (and that's just one album)

hi gecks

warp: itunes stuff?

ello

yllona: no, other stuff

i'd hate to have people entering track times they got from mp3s

ojnkpjg: i buy music all the time,and the day i ever get picard to actually generate or submit cd-id's on freebsd,i will do so

i'd rather see nothing at all

i know, i'm just kidding

i buy more music than i ought to

yllona: what makes itunes special?

because i am foolish

warp: you can't get a cdid from download only purchases

i have complete discographies of a few record labels :\

warp: if you have the songs from itunes you have the track times... it's given

can jjsut track times be parsed by the parser?

yes

yllona: still doesn't sound very different from a physical cd or mp3s/flacs purchased elsewhere online.

there's a "parse times" button now

even from the information from a CDID?

or would i have to trim it up or something

not sure

wait nvm

can't add times to a release that has a CDID

yeah, it locks it

ojnkpjg: wow, that sounds pretty impressive.

i wish it'd adopt the track times from the cd even if it has them the first time one is entered

same

maybe that needs a ticket

me too

i thought it did?

nope

i wish i had a commandline tool which would give me the tracktimes for a directory of mp3s

but it happend hourly or something

only if there aren't any times already

:)

ohh

eyeD3 *.mp3 | grep Time | awk '{print $2}'

warp: on what operating system?

heh

i think it's $2

ubuntu or debian.

i guess you'd want to do ^Time

or even ^Time:

i'll figure that part out :)

ojnkpjg: it is $2

ok

although you might want to play around and have it print the name of the song with that time too ;)

i wish gmail wouldn't put mod note email in spam folder :/

wow, looks nice, except for the somewhat scary colours.

oh, yeah

i forgot about that

warp: yeah, that was my thought at first

gecks: put the sender address in your contactlist

it stopped doing that for me after that

different sender depinding on the user :/

eep!

i wrote a little shell fn to do it for flac files

and, as opposed to ls, it still displays the colours even if piped

they're all @users.musicbrainz.org though

warp: --no-color

but you are right, it is justmodbot i have in my contacts

nikki_: yeah, made it an alias already now :)

still, it doesn't put the others in there anyway, it was always modbot that got caught as spam

speaking of aliases

i'll try putting one in and see what happens

why does every distribution alias rm, mv and others for root

but I expect the MB track parsers expects the tracktitle in front of it, right?

to make you have to try a little harder to shoot yourself in the foot

if you just use "parse times" it doesn't need titles

just a list of track times will do

ah, great

gecks: try modbot, at least, that is the only one i put, and it seemed to do the trick for me

now to hunt down which album it was

you might have to uncheck "all track names start with a number" or such

either that or print out the track number before the time

i shall try that, thanks!

is it better than the sad mac?

?

old macs used to show you that when something was really messed up and the machine wouldn't boot

for some reason other than it couldn't find a boot disk

i think also if something went horribly wrong during use, too

hi keschte

hi

there

teleguise will be happy now.

ojnkpjg: thanks.

yes, better thant he sad mac, imo
