is the instrument banjo under xalam the same as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo ?

I've never heard of a xalam before, but I've seen banjo's a lot

Banjos ftw!

Irish tenor ones in particular. <3

!wtf ftw

no bot?

ftw -> for the win

ok, thanks

hrrmph. mb needs an AR for youtube...

suggest one.

nah too easy :P

that's not a good exuse :P

hrm. would "sorry, off to lunch" be better? :P

sure!

that and i'm not sure how many bands actually have real youtube pages

"Director's Videos"

or how long you tube will stick around for. :)

$1M monthly burn rate with no business model in sight -- only a wave of lawsuits.

can you say mp3.com ?

I'm surprised they haven't started yet

only cause riaa is incredibly dumb

because of, you know, the MASSIVE TOTAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT that happens every day

snarlydwarf, director's do have profile pages

of course I'm old enough to remember when MTV showed music videos and their cost was nothing

So, how about a Google Video AR instead? :P

hahahahaha

seconded

yeah, they also have a new "musicians" category

heck, we should have both.

if youtube tanks we can yank the URL. no biggie.

indeed

ah, but the residents have a youtube page, which will guarantee youtube's success.

52 flavors of parody seems like would have potential to get really messy

ruaok: is there anyway to incorperate the mailing list into forums and vice versa?

I haven't researched that at all, so I dunno.

dammit

I chose the wrong time to want to tag some files

:/

i think ubuntus forum has something where all mailing list emails are posted as threads to a post

and (i think) forum posts to that particular part of the forum reach the mailing list

it is possible, but usually not very usable

flat forums vs. threaded mailing lists, no quoting in forum posts, ...

those forums have a threaded view option i think

yeah, but people usually use the flat view

don't let them :)

:)

whats wrong with nabble?

it's the same as integration forums and mailing lists. the same problems

the lack of being able to post to any mls other than mb-users kinda sucks

i used to be subscribed to a mailing list that was synced with a forum, it was messy

i've got some doubts about libtunepimp... first, is it ok to just use the c++ classes, instead of the c wrapper?

yes

there are no docs, but if the classes are stable (I mean, they don't change in minor versions) that wouldn't be really a problem, I guess

Untouch: depends on what you want to use it for.

if you ever plan to distribute your code you must ensure that the same compiler compiles both the lib and the calling code.

yeah, c++ brings this problem

but we already use taglib anyway

k, as long as you're aware and willing to take that into account. :)

I've seen the code to make the lookups was removed, though. And it was pretty much what we used tunepimp for

can I used libmusicbrainz directly for that, now?

for PUID lookups?

yep

no, libmusicbrainz2 uses the RDF web service

PUID support is implemented only in the new XML web service

hum, ok

that was the reason to remove the code from libtunepimp

is there any option apart from the python code?

amarok already depends on ruby, using python too would make packagers want to kill us

currently, the only options is probably manual XML parsing

That'd be okay

so I can use tunepimp to generate the PUIDs, and then do the lookups directly?

yes

okay, thanks guys

is anyone able to connect to the site?

well, I'm not

Untouch is now known as Untouchable

are http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/results.html?... correct?

the info isn't on the track list, just in the liner notes

I couldn't find anything in the style guides about whether or not to include info from the liner notes in track titles

d�j�-vu...

yeah, I asked before and didn't get an answer

Shepard: it's a bug in the matrix

I filled up a bug report but it's been lying around for years

(should I have said "I filed a bug report"?)

dseomn, are they all medleys?

(yes, I think "filed")

Shepard: AFAIK

dseomn: I think it's ok

only "It's Still Raining / Carlisle Street Reels: The Upstairs Reel / Eminor Reel / Floating Candles" is a bit confusing

"It's Still Raining" is one song

Dèjá-vu? COVER!!

and "Carlisle Street Reels" is a medley

Mm. Reels.

Freso: err… you inverted the accents :P

« déjà » :)

copper: Hush!

>_>

<_< ?

dseomn: it's ambiguous, perhaps an annotation would be good for that

copper: Noone'd have noticed if you hadn't gone and blasted it out in front of everybody! ;_;

moooooorpheeuuuuus, noooooo

Oh well. Screw real life. All hail the Matrix.

hEH. :

Shepard: ok, I'll add it

aND BLASTED BE cAPS lOCK.

also, should '(medley or reels)' be in the title?

I think you've got peanut butter on your keyboard.

I should get around switching the Caps Lock key's function one of these days.

it's in the track list, but not in the liner notes

dseomn: I've used the equivalent of "It's Still Raining / Carlisle Street Reels" for several tracks.

hm.. I'd say not. I prefer to leave "Medley: " out when there's no medley title - and here apart from medley it just says it's a medley of reels which is obvious

Ie., just using the set name.

But then you don't get /really/ fun titles like some of the ones on.. http://musicbrainz.org/album/d4389f26-c91d-4bba...

<3 Ministry of Sound: The Mash Up Mix 2006 (Mixed by the Cut Up Boys) (disc 2) - 01 - The Cut Up Boys - Let Me Be Your Fantasy/Do You Remember House/Phat Beach (I'll Be Ready)/Just Get Up and Dance (Baby D/Blaze & Palmer Brown/Naughty Boy/Afrika Bambaataa)

FauxFaux: Which, IMNSHO, would be A Good Thing™, actually. :x

Spaces around the slashes would make that a killer :p

Mm, looking at it, I appear to be missing some of the tracks off that cd.. bad cdex :(

probably not spave in mb for it

there's a limit

himo

hi sheppi

:D
