sorry

thanks for bringing it to my attention

thanks nechto13

that's funny cause I though that the original moderator put feat Stevie Wonder and the note that inhouseuk made

it can be confusing sometimes, you need to look carefully on the left side to see who left the notes.

the original mod was also done by an automoderator who didn't allow it to go to a vote

alright I'm done with the soundtrack, check out http://musicbrainz.org/album/99a744ad-ebed-410a... if you wnat to

but I strongly recomend seeing the film

here's imdb link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073179/

looks good. you can add the artists for the individual tracks, if you have the energy

how do I do that? I would have done that instead of creating ARs for every song, unless I need to do both

you added the artists for each son which is good, now you need to link them together

is there a guideline page for that?

when i click on track one i get the artist "Uvertyura" but it says that the artist has no relationshops

bou the artist appears on teh correct album, so you're okay

that's because it's an instrumental

ah, thanks

track two has ARs tho...

so i think you're good

everything that doesn't have ARs is an instrumental

okay

that's good work

yeah me too. in multiple languages no less

as a matter of fact all instrumental tracks were performed by State Symphonic Orchestra of Cinematography

am I supposed to put that somewhere?

can you add that as an AR?

create the artist "State Symphonic Orchestra of Cinematography" and add it as an AR to the instrumental tracks

allright I'll add them as an artist first I doubt that anyone has done that

done waht?

add the orchestra in the past

what I meant is that I doubt that it's in mb database

added

it isn't

that's okay, i've added orchestras... and many artists. the last musical i added had a primary cast of 33 singers. and an ensemble of 22 singers, plus full orchestra

adding that many artists and AR's is very stressful

no sh--

i'm lobbying for a mechanism to create a "set" of artists that can be applied across multiple tracks on an album

would be useful for jazz also, where you have varying personnel on tracks

so create the artists and associate them with the vocals/intruments and then apply that to the tracks. so you don't have to repeat the proces for every track

yes, that's it!

would be great if if persistent across sessions, but even baby steps would be helpful.

so you could have a sort of "address book" of your most used artist + instrument/vocal associations that you could use at a later stage. Further developement could allow you to share certain entries out of that address book with other moderators.....

yes

would make for greater consistency also. and the artist sets could be moderated also

have you already proposed this?

so i might create a set "trane quartet - 1958" that could be applied across multiple albums

and tracks on albums

like this track.. do you know the personnel? max roach, joe henderson, eric dolphy, mal waldron

i could apply that set across ~20 albums

or more

with ease :)

instead of using the current painful interface

not to mention the lyrics are a poem by paul laurence dunbar

the only thing I'm lobbying for is the ability to lock known good data, this I feel is desperately required, especially with paying customers using the data

yes. but i can't spend 24 hours per album adding all the necessary useful data

also to we need to create ARs for "company" and "ensemble" for use on musical theater and opera

alright it's done, check http://musicbrainz.org/album/99a744ad-ebed-410a...

nechto13: that's quite fabulous

I'm sure the state orchestra will have no albums in the near future

ah, but in the past!!!

and in the past the music belonged to the state, or the people

now it belongs to record companies

nechto13: can you add an english translation of the orchestra name into the artist annotation

i have one more request? could you create a latinate version of the orchestra name, ie "state orchestra of..."

i have several russian operas where that info could beuseful

ok, consider it done

thank you.

he's a dream

might be a she, you can't tell unless they tell you

that too! sorry nechto13 if you're a girl...

you don't have to apologize, I'm not

nechto13: how many languages do you have?

I'm fluent in english and russian, but I also studies belarussian and french

*studied

did you list those languages on your MB profile?

you mean in the bio?

no there's a place where you can list your languages... it may be on the wiki... one sec

yllona: look at the channel topic !

No-one ever looks at the channel topics

yes.

thanks. nechto13 add your languages here http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ModeratorLanguage

:)

i look, but sometimes is resize my window and the topics don't display fully

my bad (again)

don't worry, I had to think where I'd seen it

am I supposed to create my userpage before I can do that?

yes, you'll need to create your userpage first

and the instructions are klugey at best

we need a language classfication below some

i still can't find basic instructions for creating a "UserPage"

I'd need ModeratorLanguage/Russian/a_little_when_nobody_around_can_communicate_in_english :)

I created a profile, but I'm still not sure where to put ModeratorLanguage/Russian/Native

i couldn't find ot either, and the wiki pages aren't much help. i'll ask one of the old timers in the morning. can you check in tomorrow?

aure

*sure

thanks

when you create a profile, your login name appears in grey at the top right. click it an it'll allow you to create a user page

that's funny, I put so much effort in adding the soundtrack and my files are all below 40% similarity, I bet they'd have higher similarity rating with incorrect artists and track names

I already created a user page, I'm still not sure how to add myself to a language group

it seems you just put ["ModeratorLanguage/Russian/Native"] somewhere on the page when editing it. But I might be wrong

I'll try that

yep that took care of it, thanks

aww shit.. we've created a monster :)

Yay :D

a one hit wonder

But a hell of a wonder at that

I'm actually pretty surprised with my last.fm station, I've had 1 metal track play since I started the stream heh

hmm, in what language should I add her though? she sang in russian, polish, english, and italian

she was from Poland though

on the same album?

sometimes in the same song

yeah i have the same prob w/ angelique kido

*kidjo

use the release of the CD for language...

but, angelique kidjo sings mainly in french, doesn't she?

ie, is the CD cover in english? or russian? or italian....

besides Anna Gerrman has been released in both russian and polish

maybe in english too.

nechto13: no angelique sings in french portugeuse and /or spanish, wolof and english

so if i have a US release of angelique's CD i use english, if i have a french import i use french, etc

basically i use whatever language the CD cover is printed in

yes, but they use the same script, unlike russian and english for instance.

alright I'll add her name in russian and give her aliases

heh, good job

?

my wife has the film that nechto13 added the soundtrack for earlier. I can watch it later :)

it's a very famous russian movie

by the way I recomend anything by Anna German, she has operatic voice, but she went into song writing.
