btw: when adding a track to a normal album you can also not define the track time (not only on NAT albums)

teleGUISE
Can Link Moderators adjust ASIN (album/Amazon) cross reference links done or -not- done by the bot?
guess I should address that to someone who cares/knows ;) ruaok: g0llum: fuchs: ??
Shepard
cross reference?
fuchs
teleGUISE: no
i'm 99% sure ;)
teleGUISE
hmm... was thinking as much that it would be in some weird ru format not generally accessible ;) .. do you know what the status of revising the bot is? soon/on hold/never?
fuchs
and in english? :)
teleGUISE
ru mentioned he wanted/was/is reworking (iirc) the amazon bot is that work in progress, work to be done, or work to be done one of these years
fuchs
yes, probably one of those ;o)
teleGUISE
gee.. your just a wealth of useful information :o
fuchs
you are welcome :)
teleGUISE
anyway.. how you been? haven't seen much of you lately.. been working/coding/sleeping or all the above ;)?
fuchs
i think it's in "it's an idea, but it's neither important nor interesting enough to be implemented and more important to implement) ;)
-)+"
always been here, but a bit busy these days
teleGUISE
and in german?? since I'm not sure I get the english ;) (so your saying the rework is a backburner issue, since its importance is negligable?)
Shepard
ich bin wieder hier, in meinem revier, war nie wirklich weg, hab mich nur versteckt *sing* :)
fuchs
teleGUISE: in german: es hat einfach noch keiner bock, gehabt, sowas langweiliges zu implementieren
-,
Shepard
lol
teleGUISE
Ah.. makes sense now... ;) (though which is correct german)
nikki_
what are you singing, Shepard?
teleGUISE
OK.. Shepard wasn't answering me at all...".I am again here, in my district, was never really away, have me * sing only hidden *"
fuchs: it just fitted to <fuchs> always been here, but a bit busy these days
teleGUISE
Shepard: cross reference meaning link reference to pull up amazon art and linking from album title
Shepard
asshat :P
ah ok
nikki_ can't sing and is sure most people are better than her :P
fuchs
Shepard: du mir ooch, alda!
Shepard
ich komm dir gleich da rüber
fuchs
nikki_: your ardvantage is, that you know it and don't try it nevertheless ;)
teleGUISE
Shepard: since we might be able to embed asin links I was thinking we could then fix the non-matching/or inccorrect ones.. Did you verify my earlier comment about the (Hyphen) and it's color?
Shepard
i don't see any coloured hyphen outside a link
fuchs
why did i read "hymen"? omg!
nikki_
bah! I can't seem to find the lyrics for this song :(
Shepard... Label: Maverick (-) Catalog #: 9362-49460-2 (-) ASIN:B000B8QEZG , between parenthesis is same color as the text Label etc...
Shepard
teleGUISE: yes, but maybe it is playing optical tricks on you
fuchs
why do you add style to the release info? it makes it only harder to parse
Shepard
and you need new glasses
teleGUISE
just got some new ones.. so not that problem..
nikki_
fuchs: agreed!
teleGUISE
blah blah blah.. then your parser sucks ;)
nikki_
teleGUISE: are you going to be writing the parser? :P
nikki_ still doesn't see the point in using bold and italics anyway
teleGUISE
Yes...as soon as the parser is written, i'll fix the part that parses bold/italics/links etc...
if you can parse the word Label: & Catalog #: , you can parse it whethers its bold/italic/bolditalic/green/purple/hyperlinked or whatever
fuchs
and links? to amazon.com? why not .de? co.uk? ;) i think it should be kept as it was, this doesn't work :)
nikki_
plus mb doesn't get money for those links!
teleGUISE
there exists other countries ;)
I thought it would if it was like an album art url forward?
nikki_
not if it's a link from the annotation like that
teleGUISE
why not include the referrer as part of the embed?
nikki_
I didn't decide to link it
I think the link to madonna's page should probably be a relationship though
I can't be sure as they block opera, so I don't know what the content is ...
teleGUISE
well thats a coder brain fart..
nikki_
plus, it seems completely unrelated to the catalogue number, looking at the url
Muz
I wonder, is there a "copy" function for albums
teleGUISE
It's an annotation I can do whatever I want :)... seriously I was just playing with the links.... its on a test server remember
nikki_
yes, I'm just saying
Muz
Reason being so I can copy an existing one, and add bonus tracks to it, due to it being a release in Japan for example
nikki_
no
Muz
I guess it has to be done the long way then, fair do's
nikki_
can you imagine how many people would try and copy albums because they don't like the current one enough?
freedb import?
why am I grumpy today? :/
fuchs
you are a woman :)
Muz
I don't know :( But don't worry, I had a really sour phase earlier
fuchs
they have these special days, you know ;)
Muz cuddles Sen
Muz
I almost snapped at him earlier too heh :P
teleGUISE
Had Maverick updated/corrected their site.. We could just use the Label: link to go directly to the release.. but since luks added that.. I was just playing around and figured that catalog # does match the release it goes too... and would provide additional info for that exact -release-
I think AR's are worthless when it comes to the web front end.. its a bundled up mess
when there are multiple AR's that is... the order of preference still needs to be addressed.. as the important things regarding using html/web are buried and the stuff that you wouldnt link to is on top.. pretty backwards
