        you should never be dissuaded from reporting bugs.
      • 2005-11-17 32117, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        agreed -- that's why my team went "screw it" and bought fogbugz!
      • 2005-11-17 32123, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        *SO* much easier.
      • 2005-11-17 32143, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        people report bugs by sending an email
      • 2005-11-17 32159, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        we bounce them around, argue about fixing them, then go out and get pizza.

        The rest of the stuff you enter are point and click stuff.

      • RodBegbie
        good plan. we went with these sort of plasticy post-it note things.
      • 2005-11-17 32119, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        you stick 'em on a wall, write on them, then you can take them down and carry them off elsewhere.

        fogbugz looks cool. Per-user licensing sucks though.

        no.
      • 2005-11-17 32139, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        you can have as many people as you want reporting bugs.

        Hey, I was browsing the Last.fm FAQ, and came across an answer saying that I should add aliases to songs if I find any misspellings, etc... How would I do this?
      • 2005-11-17 32126, 2005

      • yllona
        mo: what would happen if i sent her dollars?
      • 2005-11-17 32155, 2005

        I see how to add an alias for an artist name, but I need to add an alias for a song name. not possible?
      • 2005-11-17 32139, 2005

      • yllona

        :p
      • 2005-11-17 32116, 2005

      • cparker
        ah yeah, the reason I was wondering is because I see MusicBrainz data in use primarily on Last.fm, and I see a lot of duplicate songs with slight misspellings.
      • 2005-11-17 32123, 2005

      • yllona
        you too

        Another question: Was there ever, or will there ever (conceivably) be, a Winamp plug-in for MusicBrainz?
      • 2005-11-17 32116, 2005

      • _mo
        uhm
      • 2005-11-17 32119, 2005

      • 2005-11-17 32129, 2005

      • RodBegbie
        cparker: what would you want the plugin to do?
      • 2005-11-17 32136, 2005

      • cparker
        Replace CDDB.
      • 2005-11-17 32142, 2005

        That's probably *doable*, but I don't think it's on anyone's TODO list right now.
      • 2005-11-17 32105, 2005

      • cparker
        Are there any media players that use MusicBrainz for music metadata retrieval instead of CDDB, FreeDB, or AMG, that anyone's aware of?

        OK... excuse the brain fart..but have a Picard question... why can't i get a release out of the red? Its been looked up by the MB tagger, tagged with it. Now under picard, it clusters it matches 100% but still shows red..
