ive just been letting it do whatever it wants and using tagger, foobar has so much junk in the renaming thing

Probably in a recording location tag or some such.

%artist%\%album%\$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %title%

is what I use

then tell it to move stuff to your music root directory

is \ new folder?

and it'll place stuff as artst folder\album folder\2 digit tracknumber - song name.extension

yes, there's a checkbox to create new folders at \

I don't liek the 2 digittracknumber

everybody likes two digit track numbers

best for sorting

I was stupid and tried using %artistname%

well, change it to how you want

%tracknumber% if you want just tracknumber however it's stored in the tag

or change the 2 in $num(%tracknumber%,2) to how many digits you want

does anybody know if any of the mb libraries support retrieving AR data yet

i'm contemplating writing a tagger in c

because i hate python so much

but only if i can use that data

how can I add ()'s to my file?

example?

%artist% - %title% (%filename%) ?

just playing around..

one additional "yes" on http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3279468 please (i hope I didn't fix the track names on the wrong one :))

you want the old filename in the new name?

yes I'm weird. yes

but in brakets

I'm not sure if there'a variable for the old file, I've honestly never had a need

nto to mention it'd get really long if you rename something more than once

no it's alerady in it. it's the brakets I have a problem with

it was defautl at $num(%_diskwriter_index%,3) %_filename%

ah

just add '' around the bracket

ding

'('%filename%')'

now If I can make it stupo addign a space infront of it..

maybe I'll just use %artist% - %title%

just don't use spaces

they're not needed

no it makes a space with the _

and it doesnt seem to work witouth the _

%artist% - %title%'('_%filename%')'

inserts a space?

apeantly

let me see

that creates the name The Surfaris - Wipe Out(__).ogg

err

I know

the _ should be inside the %

you need %_filename%

ok it works now

must have had aninvisible sapce i nthe syntax string..

how come mb accept an album after expirey date is passed, and there are no yes/no-votes on it?

because! gawd why do you pleaople alvays want explanations!

;p

:o

I'm only kidding impfisk

impfisk: better to keep the submission and allow for deletion later than to just delete things that people haven't had time to vote on

because then mb works another way than what the wiki says

ah ok

? where in the wiki does it say otherwise?

w8

w8? I don't reccolaect a page called that?

'wait"

hæ? you see to me, that is 'w åtte'

leet speak falls down when you use it in international waters

http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ModerationFAQ <- "how does the voting process work....?"

or international ircs, whatever :)

according to that faq.. a non-voted mod can never be accepted

because it needs one yes or no -vote

or rather.. it would fail

"if the moderation has expired, and at least one non-abstain vote has been cast, and there are FEWER OR AS MANY "yes" than "no" votes, then the moderation is rejected ("Failed vote")."

logically speaking

it doesn't specify what happens if no votes are cast there

it specifies what happens when at least one vote is cast

oh yeah

*tired* :P

that faq is a bit out of date

:)

oh

yeah that was what i guessed

if you needed at least one 'yes', i bet all kinds of stuff attributed to relatively obscure artists would fail even though it's perfectly good data

i only ever vote on my subscribed artists

unless i'm very bored at wok

work

i'm sure other people vote that way, too

sometimes i can obsessivly hunt down data for some mod...

but i'm diagnosed ocd.. o_O

hehe

really? I have ADHD

:)

i just abstain if it's not clear to me one way or the other

maybe i'm lazy

me to

:)

i think i might lead the world in artist subscriptions, though

can anyone beat 884

woa

yes. but I don't remember who

oh, damn

oh, well

I couldn't remember that many artists

I think its dupuy or zout

I have like 600

Probably a few of those get lost down the back of the sofa

it doesn't list totals, but, yeah, looks like dupuy has more

oi

I know of a way to remove the mb album things to a track

you open them up in foobar and delete the strings o_O

wow

why do you want to remove them?

smaller files?

we get that question ALL the time!

_mo: yeah, i'm ocd (or maybe aspergers).... been at psychologist for a year.. but i dont see it as a problem anymore, it's kind of cute :)

how can I make the tagger retag files its already tagged

"identify again" ?

impfisk: interesting. I have ADHD _and_ Asbergers

picard actually handles that really well

:p

i think it'll be really nice when it's done

but if. forexamnple this happens soemtimes

i've always wanted an "update tags" feature

merges, yah

if you retag and retag and retag a file I've found that the file can get cossupt

i think its a necesity, ojnkpjg

surly this can fix that

that's one of the things i like most about mb

the album and track id

i was going to write something to update my files, but it wanted to do a trm lookup

at least the last time i looked at libtunepimp

and that's slow

so i didn't bother

i think this was an old version

definitely not the version picard is using

this is serious. we could make you delerious

!!! yay cool sentence!

lol

its from a rap song

weee!

dupuy has over 1000

eeeeek

and I'm sad :(

tomorrow I have to pack to go home on saturday :/

Because nikki-de has to rename tomorrow

no, not until saturday

picard has been crashing a lot today
