      • wolfsong13 runs off to read the email Nyght sent last night
      • 2006-05-12 13248, 2006

      • lauri
        gnite folks
      • 2006-05-12 13251, 2006

      • lauri has quit
      • 2006-05-12 13221, 2006

      • Nyght
        ruaok: Did I ever actually explain what I meant with the multiple track analyze and Picard?
      • 2006-05-12 13201, 2006

      • ruaok
        dont think so.
      • 2006-05-12 13202, 2006

      • Nyght
        ah, um, basically just being able to click on a cluster, and have it analyze all of the tracks instead of having to click each one and telling it to anazlyze.
      • 2006-05-12 13208, 2006

      • Nyght
        analyze too. ;)
      • 2006-05-12 13259, 2006

      • ruaok
        yes...
      • 2006-05-12 13210, 2006

      • ruaok
        I have many plans to make all that much smarter.
      • 2006-05-12 13227, 2006

      • ruaok
        something like this:
      • 2006-05-12 13236, 2006

      • ruaok
        0) user adds files
      • 2006-05-12 13243, 2006

      • ruaok
        1) read metadata from files
      • 2006-05-12 13247, 2006

      • ruaok
        2) cluster
      • 2006-05-12 13206, 2006

      • ruaok
        3) for each cluster, do an album lucene search, if found, match cluster to album, done.
      • 2006-05-12 13252, 2006

      • ruaok
        4. start randomly pweeding tracks from a cluster and look them up. If two or more tracks from one cluster match nicely to an album, download album, move things over.
      • 2006-05-12 13204, 2006

      • ruaok
        5) Any tracks leftover, pweed them.
      • 2006-05-12 13209, 2006

      • ruaok
        sound sane?
      • 2006-05-12 13229, 2006

      • luks
        Nyght: click on the first one, press shift and click on the last one, click "Analyze" from the toolbar
      • 2006-05-12 13231, 2006

      • Nyght
        Sounds very sane. ;)
      • 2006-05-12 13242, 2006

      • saxpoet
        got a question folks ... same as a couple of days ago, but I am having trouble. please see http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4772818 Does making each track of this a NAT make more sense?
      • 2006-05-12 13248, 2006

      • Nyght
        luks.. how simple of an answer. ;) Thank you!
      • 2006-05-12 13256, 2006

      • Nyght
        sometimes I feel like a dweeb! :D
      • 2006-05-12 13246, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        saxpoet: why NAT?
      • 2006-05-12 13244, 2006

      • Nyght
        saxpoet: I've only had one instance of this, and it was Korn's version of the song attrib'd to Draiman.. I put it as a NAT... at the same time. I don't feel like I have a good enough grasp on NAT's to truly give much information or suggestions, and I wish I could.
      • 2006-05-12 13247, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        also I why bootleg?
      • 2006-05-12 13201, 2006

      • saxpoet
        I can see no other reason why it is not good enough as is, but a voter does not like it as is ... just looking for ideas
      • 2006-05-12 13214, 2006

      • Joan_W joined the channel
      • 2006-05-12 13232, 2006

      • saxpoet
        boot because this is ripped from VHS, not a commercial release
      • 2006-05-12 13257, 2006

      • Nyght
        well there's waiting the votes out and seeing if you get any yes. One no doesn't make a vote fail unless you don't get two yes votes...
      • 2006-05-12 13201, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        is the VHS a commercial release?
      • 2006-05-12 13231, 2006

      • saxpoet
        seems that this is an extension of the question about NATs ripped from TV, VH1 Award ceremonies and the like
      • 2006-05-12 13258, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        no i would say that's a bit different
      • 2006-05-12 13211, 2006

      • saxpoet
        yes, the VHS is commercial ... I entered amazon and IMDB links
      • 2006-05-12 13225, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        then the source of the audio is official
      • 2006-05-12 13252, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        we batted this around in a discussion around DVDs
      • 2006-05-12 13255, 2006

      • Nyght
        hi Joan
      • 2006-05-12 13200, 2006

      • Joan_W
        hi beth
      • 2006-05-12 13231, 2006

      • saxpoet
        I think that I wsas in one of those discussions once
      • 2006-05-12 13254, 2006

      • ngw has quit
      • 2006-05-12 13208, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        bootleg should really apply to unofficial sources
      • 2006-05-12 13202, 2006

      • saxpoet
        ok ... so a change to 'official' could apply ... but the real trouble is overcoming the objection of the NO voter
      • 2006-05-12 13212, 2006

      • Joan_W
        anyone seen teleguise today
      • 2006-05-12 13239, 2006

      • Nyght
        Oh darn... I just realized there's somewhat of a problem with the inclusion of a "g" rated music merged with "nr" rated music... and it comes with puid attachment.
      • 2006-05-12 13249, 2006

      • Nyght
        not I
      • 2006-05-12 13251, 2006

      • saxpoet
        I have dropped by here a few times in the past few days to try and catch him and have a direct discussion
      • 2006-05-12 13230, 2006

      • Nyght
        he's usually here later.. um... five more hours or so?
      • 2006-05-12 13254, 2006

      • Joan_W
        then he must have been early last night - we had quite a long discussion about amg edits
      • 2006-05-12 13224, 2006

      • saxpoet
        cool, I'll check back in later
      • 2006-05-12 13243, 2006

      • Nyght
        He was probably avoiding me Joan ;)
      • 2006-05-12 13250, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        saxpoet: it's a tough sell since there's no "proof" for the tracks
      • 2006-05-12 13205, 2006

      • Joan_W
        avoiding you beth - NO
      • 2006-05-12 13211, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        in good faith i'd have obstain
      • 2006-05-12 13217, 2006

      • wolfsong13 waves @ Joan_W
      • 2006-05-12 13225, 2006

      • Joan_W
        hi wolfsong
      • 2006-05-12 13230, 2006

      • Nyght
        LOL ah come on... I'm sure on occasion he gets tired of the teasing. ;) But, you're probably right.. I think he thrives on it.
      • 2006-05-12 13241, 2006

      • Joan_W
        he loves it
      • 2006-05-12 13202, 2006

      • Joan_W
        I don't think he even minds when we both have a go
      • 2006-05-12 13207, 2006

      • Nyght
        wolfie, Joan's gonna help me clean up the wiki's I do.
      • 2006-05-12 13209, 2006

      • Nyght dances
      • 2006-05-12 13214, 2006

      • saxpoet
        same problem but even worse with rips from TV wolf ...
      • 2006-05-12 13232, 2006

      • Joan_W
        I miss dancing
      • 2006-05-12 13238, 2006

      • Nyght
        Nah, it's two women giving him a hard time.. most men crave that. :D
      • 2006-05-12 13254, 2006

      • saxpoet
        and how many NATs from MTV awards etc. have made it into the dB with no problem?
      • 2006-05-12 13207, 2006

      • Nyght
        yes saxpoet, I'm trying to right now figure out something similar with a bunch of remix tracks.
      • 2006-05-12 13221, 2006

      • Joan_W
        40 or so remix tracks
      • 2006-05-12 13228, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        Nyght: did i respond to that email?
      • 2006-05-12 13230, 2006

      • Nyght
        Joan, so do I
      • 2006-05-12 13231, 2006

      • Nyght
        Yeah..
      • 2006-05-12 13250, 2006

      • Nyght
        You mentioned to do them in NATs, but it seems like a lot of NATs to me.
      • 2006-05-12 13205, 2006

      • Nyght
        and I would leave the sample tracks out all together.
      • 2006-05-12 13226, 2006

      • Nyght
        altogether too.
      • 2006-05-12 13233, 2006

      • Nyght corrects herself before Joan does.
      • 2006-05-12 13252, 2006

      • Nyght
        actually Joan... which is correct there. Do you know?
      • 2006-05-12 13201, 2006

      • Joan_W
        altogether
      • 2006-05-12 13206, 2006

      • Nyght
        okay cool. :D
      • 2006-05-12 13210, 2006

      • rpedro has quit
      • 2006-05-12 13215, 2006

      • saxpoet
        exactly, Nyght. especially when they can be tracked to a repeatable source
      • 2006-05-12 13231, 2006

      • Joan_W
        who is rpedro? new name - haven't seen it before
      • 2006-05-12 13245, 2006

      • wolfsong13
        Nyght: accept they weren't compiled into an album and don't' come from the same source
      • 2006-05-12 13245, 2006

      • rpedro joined the channel
      • 2006-05-12 13208, 2006

      • Nyght
        saxpoet: I think part of getting things like that accepted is how large of a crowd knows about them, would utilize etc... and I'm not saying that's correct, I just think that's what says if they gain admission or not into the db
      • 2006-05-12 13249, 2006

      • Joan_W
        unfortunately beth, that is also true of some of the less well known single artists and groups
      • 2006-05-12 13215, 2006

      • Nyght
        The ten tracks all came from the mp3.com site.. the various others, were mainly from mp3.com, but from their remixers, or, from the message board. So, you're correct they were never on albums and I don't believe they will ever be on albums.
      • 2006-05-12 13217, 2006

      • Joan_W
        with albums
      • 2006-05-12 13242, 2006

      • Nyght
        Klayton's talking about doing another remix contest, and those tracks perhaps going out on an album.. but, he's pretty done with Symbiont to my understanding.
      • 2006-05-12 13218, 2006

      • Nyght
        Joan, yes, but the add artists are becoming more and more "auto accepted" because if they don't get populated they auto delete.
      • 2006-05-12 13238, 2006

      • saxpoet
        has there been talk of adding a "MusicSourceGuide" to accompany the Style and Editing Gu�ides?
      • 2006-05-12 13208, 2006

      • Nyght
        but, as far as releases, yes.. that can be difficult. Though I think if there's not freedb import there, sometimes that with a disc id can help a lot.
      • 2006-05-12 13203, 2006

      • saxpoet
        ah, but there is a freedb import of this ... that is how I brought it in
      • 2006-05-12 13211, 2006

      • Nyght
        Of course, those disc id's can be a pain in the arse too, because we're still pruning out home burnt discs.
      • 2006-05-12 13237, 2006

      • Nyght
        Hmm... that might be part of the flack? I don't know honestly...
      • 2006-05-12 13244, 2006

      • Nyght
        saxpoet: do you have the track?
      • 2006-05-12 13207, 2006

      • saxpoet
        not the VHS, but some of the MP3s
      • 2006-05-12 13216, 2006

      • Joan_W
        I have got about 1,000 CD's here and I don't know how many have already been entered into the database. If they have, I don't know how many have disc ID's attached. To enter disc ID's, I would have to download Picard wouldn't I and I have tried to steer clear of it so far.
      • 2006-05-12 13239, 2006

      • Nyght
        mb tagger can also submit disc id's Joan
      • 2006-05-12 13206, 2006

      • Joan_W
        I did download Picard when I first started, but the damn thing kept crashing, so I uninstalled.
      • 2006-05-12 13207, 2006

      • Nyght
        saxpoet, have you attached puid, or trm to the track you're trying to add?
      • 2006-05-12 13219, 2006

      • Nyght
        Joan, it's much m ore stable now.
      • 2006-05-12 13235, 2006

      • Nyght
        I was impressed, actually it's being very stable for me... (on windowz) though
      • 2006-05-12 13252, 2006

      • Nyght
        winblowz, sorry.. mispelling on that last bit. ;)

        When I come back from Ireland at the beginning of next month, I will give it another try. I am also on Windows - XP
      • 2006-05-12 13223, 2006

      • saxpoet
        TRM should be there
      • 2006-05-12 13220, 2006

      • Nyght
        Yeah, the last build is really doing well.. I'm even starting to puid my collection.. geh, that's why I was complaining about the analyze bit.. 30,000 tracks being hand clicked for analysis stinks. ;)

        Joan, you might want to sign up on trac, that way we can communicate back and forth on wikidocs a little better too.

        okay, thanks for pointing that out to me wolife, I'll try and subscribe to it.. I was wondering if there was something like that. I start digging into the wiki's and get lost as to which still need some work and which don't.

        She's asking the best way to start into trac, so I can let her know the docs I've worked on and she can look over them and edit them.
