i agree that it should be labeled somehow, but not on how...

well, king adora's bionic is one of mine without the CD number on it, the covers are the same except one is gold and one is silver, they were released on the same day. that's the same as the manics one I linked to where the covers are different colours and they were released on the same day, except the manics ones say CD1/CD2/DVD on them.

well, I tag my own versions with disc x. As is what happens with a lot of things in MB (ie: multiple artists) people tend to vote with their edits. If something becomes common practice, then it tends to become law.

when singles get released *without* a second CD, it's really odd.

mmm... Some bands manage to be amazingly inconsistent with their own names...
without the space is more common for the actual english word, I think, but with the space seems more prevalent on there
2005-03-13 07245, 2005
DJKC
haven't tried yet. about to though
2005-03-13 07248, 2005
tma
your call. It's inconsistently applied on the website; if it's fairly consistently applied on the releases themselves, then I'd go with the more common use from the releases.
2005-03-13 07226, 2005
tma
"official" websites are always a quandary, because you have to wonder how much involvement the artists themselves had in the website design.
2005-03-13 07229, 2005
SenRepus
indeed
2005-03-13 07247, 2005
SenRepus
or how devoted the person in charge of the website is to keeping it uptodate and complete
2005-03-13 07203, 2005
tma
... and accurate
2005-03-13 07216, 2005
DJKC
it depends on the band
2005-03-13 07218, 2005
tma
(or precise. I'm undecided).
2005-03-13 07232, 2005
SenRepus
hehe
2005-03-13 07238, 2005
DJKC
some are just moneky making machines from the label, so the artist's involvement more or less doesn't matter
2005-03-13 07251, 2005
DJKC
and on the other end you have artists that do the website themselves
2005-03-13 07256, 2005

(and it shows in the poor design, often)

Acting or performing with care and precision; meticulous

that's probably because I'm an information freak

a definition for precise
2005-03-13 07226, 2005

Exact, as in performance, execution, or amount; accurate or correct

we once had it explained in a science class, however, i unfortunately cant remember how he put it
2005-03-13 07251, 2005
SenRepus
one is getting similar measurements every time, wrong or right
2005-03-13 07259, 2005

the other is always being near the correct

DJKC
tma: good info is nice, yes
2005-03-13 07245, 2005
DJKC
but when they do neon or pastel colors on red backgrounds for all the text
you can be completely accurate without being very precise. precision just tells you how accurate you could be.

that's why I love opera's user style thing, DJKC.
2005-03-13 07211, 2005
DJKC
anyway, most bands I'm used to have very accurate information on their home pages. Apprently it's some Japanese thing, because most English and Spanish artists I listen to have godawful homepages
2005-03-13 07231, 2005
DJKC
Iv'e seen cikkolata randomly venting about that in the last few weeks too

I have trouble with korean and chinese and thai and german too.

I think the Japanese have a thing about precision. :)
some have excellent home pages, some I'm stuck with finding as many stores listing the album as possible
2005-03-13 07214, 2005

2005-03-13 07246, 2005

but in Japan's case to some degree the widespread accurate info seems to be related to the popularity of karaoke. Need to be able to find the exact name and lyrics of a song to be able to sing it, after all
2005-03-13 07252, 2005

I resized the first column by mistake to the entire width of the screen
2005-03-13 07232, 2005
T1_Red_Alarm
now, there are NO columns, at all. and I can't sort. I have completely removed and reinstalled, but the columns don't come back

one of my friends has done that. during a blizzard where we could only go 20-25miles/hour, so he pulled out his GBA on the basis that it was safe because of how slow we were going -__;

Red... can you increase the resolution of your moniter and maximize the tagger and get it that way?
2005-03-13 07228, 2005
SenRepus
it shouldnt be able to be any longer than slightly longer than your current resolution, should it?
2005-03-13 07237, 2005
T1_Red_Alarm
yes, I do get the scrollbay, and all the info is there, but it's about three screen widths wide, and there is no headings (or deviders)
2005-03-13 07246, 2005
tma
ok. try this. move the window as far left as you can, so that the left side is off the screen. then resize the window as far right as you can (so that it's now bigger than the screen). keep doing this until you can see the end of the first column.
2005-03-13 07254, 2005
DJKC
it's in the registry, it looks like
2005-03-13 07256, 2005

then you can move the column back to normal size

How about that. "Ner" doesn't appear to be in the dictionary. At least, not in the sense of "so ner!". Maybe I'm spelling it wrong.

im pretty oblivious when it comes to the hardware half of computers, moreso than i am of the software half

if i go to a store and buy RAM is it going to fit in my 'puter?

I got stuck on the definition of "weeyulcum" until I worked out it was vernacular
2005-03-13 07243, 2005

interesting word to search for on Google though
2005-03-13 07255, 2005

SenRepus: how old is your computer?
2005-03-13 07209, 2005
tma
SenRepus: if your computer is more than 3-4 years old, then it may have SDRAM. If it's newer, it's probably got DDR RAM, which is the most common at the moment. There was also a period where they sold RDRAM, but it's not too common.
2005-03-13 07225, 2005
tma
SenRepus: most likely you just want DDR RAM. Unless you're running a very fast system on the edge of the speed barrier then any bog standard DDR RAM you get should be fine. If in doubt, open your computer and take out one of the ram sticks and show it to your computer guy, and get ram to match it.
