      • bramp
        they have had a mod system in place to merge the misspelt artists... So it is getting fixed
      • 2005-04-02 09207, 2005

      • warp
        and they do accept mbids, and intend to use it more later on, right?
      • 2005-04-02 09217, 2005

      • bramp
        I think so

        i've a newbie question for y'all
      • 2005-04-02 09236, 2005

      • warp
        bmaury: shoot.
      • 2005-04-02 09251, 2005

      • warp
        (not that i'm not a newbie.. but.. oh well ;)
      • 2005-04-02 09257, 2005

      • bmaury
        i have a client MP3 player (very basic) that communicates with a server. when a user is playing a song, the id3 tag gets sent up to our server, where we try to match the id3 tag to our repository. i've recently imported musicbrainz, so i want to try and match the id3 tags to the MB data. of course, we have no TRM tags on the client side, so i'm looking for the most efficient way to match id3 tags to the MB data.
      • 2005-04-02 09231, 2005

      • bmaury
        i'm looking at building a matching table that matches id3 tags to the track or albumjoin table. since we know what id3 tags our users have, this table will be much smaller than the 3MM rows in track
      • 2005-04-02 09245, 2005

      • warp
        hm, sorry, i have no idea. but i think some of the people around here do development on the musicbrainz tagger, perhaps they can help.

        but the overwhelming silence right now tells me they're all asleep ;)
      • 2005-04-02 09218, 2005

      • bmaury
        kind of like audioscrobbler architecture, i guess...
      • 2005-04-02 09225, 2005

      • bmaury
        i'm kind of sleepy too...
      • 2005-04-02 09242, 2005

      • HenkPoley
        bmaury: they are working on feeding lucene with the MB data
      • 2005-04-02 09257, 2005

      • HenkPoley
        It does loose matching etc.
      • 2005-04-02 09228, 2005

      • warp
        whee, someone who knows more about it than me :)
      • 2005-04-02 09237, 2005

      • warp runs off to package something.
      • 2005-04-02 09242, 2005

      • HenkPoley
        But lucene is an entire database engine

      • 2005-04-02 09208, 2005

      • bmaury
        this is what i'm doing too (loose matching)... who would i talk to about that?
      • 2005-04-02 09210, 2005

        not exactly loose matching

        but for looking up MB data
      • 2005-04-02 09248, 2005

      • bmaury
        thing is we map MB data to ours, so it's easier to have a local copy, instead of pinging MB each time...
      • 2005-04-02 09213, 2005

      • bmaury
        lucene is awesome.
      • 2005-04-02 09220, 2005

      • ruaok
        bmaury: stil there?
      • 2005-04-02 09233, 2005

      • bmaury
        yup
      • 2005-04-02 09248, 2005

      • ruaok
        I'm responsible for the lucene hacking.
      • 2005-04-02 09200, 2005

      • ruaok
        unfortunately, I don't really have much to share just yet.
      • 2005-04-02 09243, 2005

      • ruaok
        I haven't worked on it much, since the requirement of having a 650mb index files presents some deployment challenges.
      • 2005-04-02 09249, 2005

      • bmaury
        it's a pretty cool approach. but i don't really want to store the lucene index on each client. :(
      • 2005-04-02 09252, 2005

      • bmaury
        exactly...
      • 2005-04-02 09218, 2005

      • ruaok
        lemme look at what code I've got kicking around.
      • 2005-04-02 09228, 2005

      • bmaury
        any other ideas for matching id3 tags to MB data? am I using the right tables anyway?
      • 2005-04-02 09206, 2005

      • ruaok
        sounds like it....
      • 2005-04-02 09221, 2005

      • ruaok
        other ideas? not really. acoustic fingerprints suck ass.
      • 2005-04-02 09224, 2005

      • ruaok
        lucene is the way to go.
      • 2005-04-02 09226, 2005

      • orogor
        how many index files are there ?
      • 2005-04-02 09227, 2005

      • ruaok
      • 2005-04-02 09240, 2005

      • ruaok
        orogor: for what, lucene?
      • 2005-04-02 09240, 2005

      • bmaury
        yup. just saw it now...
      • 2005-04-02 09200, 2005

      • ruaok
        that script was written in python with pylucene.
      • 2005-04-02 09212, 2005

      • ruaok
        which requires gjc

      • 2005-04-02 09221, 2005

        its a bit of a pain to set up.
      • 2005-04-02 09225, 2005

      • bmaury
        our client & server are both java, so i could just use that...
      • 2005-04-02 09254, 2005

      • ruaok
        my script is in python...
      • 2005-04-02 09202, 2005

      • bmaury
        python is great, but i'd like to see some dang semicolons.
      • 2005-04-02 09217, 2005

      • ruaok doesn't miss them
      • 2005-04-02 09227, 2005

      • Knio
        semicolons are optional
      • 2005-04-02 09227, 2005

      • orogor has a look at lucene
      • 2005-04-02 09249, 2005

      • ruaok
        bmaury: if you want my script, I'd be glad to give it to you.
      • 2005-04-02 09201, 2005

      • ruaok
        but its still quite crude -- its a proof of concept, really.
      • 2005-04-02 09207, 2005

      • bmaury
        i'd love to check it out.
      • 2005-04-02 09221, 2005

      • bmaury
        the other thing is we store our user's id3 tags in postgres on our server, so we can match on the server... just a question of the best approach

      • bmaury
        is it fair to assume that i can match the artist, album and track name of an ID3 tag to MB tables using artist.name, album.name and albumjoin?

        gah. using four servers where my password is my password on two of them and the default "mb" on the other two is *really* confusing

        (and no, I'm not going to set my password to mb)

        is making people take a style quiz before they can mod a horrible and mean idea?

        and in the commands section add something like /msg nickserv identify <your password>

        may want to set it to only do that when connecting to this network if you're more than one and use different nicks/passwords on some of the others
