if it's on the cover it belongs to the track titles. otherwise to the annotation
fuchs
teleGUISE: that'd look wrong in last.fm
unless there are no non-instrumental-only version
+s
[anon.] is much uglier ;)
does it stand for anonymous?
Shepard
we're not last.fm-tagging-MB
fuchs
and what's the difference to unknown?
teleGUISE
i just thinking along the lines of where (feat. artist) is allowed in the album title when on all tracks ... which is kind of an odd thing because then none of the information is on the tracks
fuchs
Shepard: that would also look wrong in my music player :)
Shepard
I always thought it's a music database, not a tagging platform
do we know if the ability to remove data tracks before they are submitted during a freedb entry is coming soon? .. I cant remember if i or someone ever requested that as an enhancement
fuchs
how should that work?
teleGUISE
though not sure how people would know to use it since they are freedb entering a release instead of parsing
Shepard
stop freedb imports completly :)
teleGUISE
maybe something semi-auto that anything that says [data track] .. thought doesnt help all the other variations
gets removed...
fuchs
never seen any data track as [data track] in freedb
hmm, i can't edit a wiki-page :(
teleGUISE
ya know what i mean
fuchs
Internal Server Error
Shepard
you can if you believe in it!
teleGUISE
DATA, Data Track
Shepard
say tschakkah!
fuchs
grr, now i get:
Someone else saved this page while you were editing!
Shepard
it wasn't me
fuchs
no, it was me
teleGUISE
just trying to think of way of saving the thousands upon thousdands of data track removal edits & votes that are made
fuchs
teleGUISE: aren't that many
Shepard
stop freedb imports
teleGUISE
fuchs: you think?
shepard well get the bill passed
fuchs
remove data track are the easiest votes, they are no problem IMO
teleGUISE
with parsing i'm done with freedb... but you know that will put a damper on new album edits.. which in way of fixing crap would be great but would put a major slow down on being complete
i was just thinking if it could be easily automated its that much better
Shepard: why so adamant against the vacuum? i mean.. the guy plays it. why isn't that proof enough to be added to a list of insturments that can be used to relate to artists on MB?
fuchs
i want to see him "playing" it, before i believe it ;)
Shepard
it is not intended to be an instrument and it is only him
BrianG
what's to see?
it's not only him
fuchs
seen some pictures on rotten.com where people "played" with vacuum cleaners, but they didn't seem to make music :)
Shepard
oh wow then it's 5 people on the world :)
yllona
yes, the mini-moog
fuchs
i can't imaging playing a vc, so i want to see it
BrianG
so what if its 5 or 2
it's an instrument
Shepard
it's a householding appliance
BrianG
that happens to be a musical instruemnt too
Shepard
no
BrianG
stop being so close minded
yes
Shepard
no
BrianG
yup
fuchs
always 2 nos more than you :)
Shepard
why do you care?
BrianG
why shouldn't i?
why do you feel the need not to add it?
oqp
is a matrix printer an instrument ?
BrianG
because you're close minded?
oqp
is a silo an instrument ?
yllona
okay guys your just repeating erik satie's arguments from teh 20's. using household appliances as instruments was part of theat whole Dadaism thing. move along nothing new her
IRONCOW has quit
BrianG
"it sounds silly it can't exist"
oqp

yllona

BrianG
"it can only serve one fuction, its can't be an instruemnt"
Shepard

BrianG

yllona
BrianG: read some dada. look up erik satie in wikipedia.
