already filed mods on the name to correct the encoding, but when I go to import the good version of the album and search on that artist name it gives "no artist found", probably because of some of the characters in it...
any idea how I might have just imported the good version of that album to the bad artist and then submitted a merge of the bad album to the good one? I couldn't select that artist for it when importing...

I added the sortname as an alias (which you should do for anything with romanised sortnames)
2005-01-05 00505, 2005
cikkolata
so you might be able to search on that

DJKC
well, I already did it manually
2005-01-05 00541, 2005
DJKC
was just curious if there was something I was missing when trying to do it the quicker way earlier
2005-01-05 00559, 2005
cikkolata
I'm completely confused

I tried to reimport the same album from freedb, but correctly encoded, to the bad artist
2005-01-05 00558, 2005
DJKC
it said "can't find artist" when I searched on the misencoded one
2005-01-05 00522, 2005
DJKC
the plan being that it'd be less effort to reimport the album to that bad artist and just submit a merge mod for the bad version->good version
2005-01-05 00531, 2005
cikkolata
ah
2005-01-05 00532, 2005
DJKC
than to copy and paste correct info over for each trackname
2005-01-05 00503, 2005
DJKC
less mods submitted, less effort, more efficient, etc etc
2005-01-05 00528, 2005
DJKC
but when I hit the point where it couldn't find the correct name and I put in the misencoded one in the search box it couldn't find the bad version -_-

damn, I'm subscribed to 118 artists and overnight I get an amazing 5 mods for my subscribed artists
2005-01-05 00509, 2005
cikkolata
it's pretty shocking when I get more than a page, really.
2005-01-05 00524, 2005
cikkolata
maybe I should start liking less obscure stuff.
2005-01-05 00516, 2005
DJKC
heh
2005-01-05 00523, 2005
DJKC
I had 4, so you're beating me
2005-01-05 00546, 2005
cikkolata
are you subscribed to 118 artists though?
2005-01-05 00554, 2005
DJKC
and 2 were automods that needed to be undone -_-; You'd think people would go "maybe I should check if this band doesn't capitalize all their name" before changing the caps
2005-01-05 00512, 2005
DJKC
does it say the number somewhere?
2005-01-05 00515, 2005
cikkolata
no
2005-01-05 00531, 2005
DJKC
115
2005-01-05 00536, 2005
DJKC
is what I'm subscribed to
2005-01-05 00541, 2005
cikkolata
oh, ok
2005-01-05 00527, 2005
DJKC
hmm, can't view other user's subsciptions
2005-01-05 00535, 2005
DJKC
basically all the Japanese ones I've come accross casually, plus a few misencoded chinese ones I've fixed, 2 spanish girlpop singers, and one random US group
2005-01-05 00504, 2005
cikkolata
mine are all artists I have music by, or ones I have some familiarity with for whatever reason
2005-01-05 00522, 2005
cikkolata
normally because a close friend is obsessed
2005-01-05 00538, 2005
DJKC
I probably have music by all of them
2005-01-05 00546, 2005
cikkolata
oops :x
2005-01-05 00547, 2005
DJKC
except the Chinese ones I was just fixing misencodings on
2005-01-05 00501, 2005
DJKC
and even there I think I have an album by F.I.R somewhere...
2005-01-05 00512, 2005

the damned iframe resized itself as I was trying to hit yes and made me hit no >(

heh
2005-01-05 00506, 2005
cikkolata
it was one of yours too.
2005-01-05 00512, 2005
cikkolata
but I fixed it.

that batch on yaico I just did?
2005-01-05 00558, 2005
DJKC
yay, some of them are getting random no's too
2005-01-05 00522, 2005
cikkolata
yeah
2005-01-05 00542, 2005
DJKC stops submitting mods this morning, maybe the crowd will be better in the evening ^^;

cikkolata ponders how hard a show-only-latin1 thing would be
2005-01-05 00506, 2005
kass wonders, can someone tell me what TRM Collision means, and what changing the collision threshold will do in tp_tagger?
2005-01-05 00531, 2005
cikkolata
collisions are when the TRM matches more than one song I think
2005-01-05 00537, 2005
cikkolata
I'm not sure
2005-01-05 00551, 2005
kass
I get TRM Collision as well as User Selection
2005-01-05 00503, 2005
kass
TRM Collision offers a 0% match and no offers of possibilities
2005-01-05 00541, 2005
kass
And for some reason it -really- doesn't like doing lists of possibilities for Sisters of Mercy. The whole proggie keeps freezing up. :/

tp_tagger is an example program, not a tagger. =)
2005-01-05 00557, 2005
cikkolata
you can use it as a tagger if you're masochistic :D

I'm using it as a tagger because nothing else I've tried compiles under linux
2005-01-05 00557, 2005
kass
KTag, AmaroK, qmbtagger, JuK, they all puked on the make. :P
2005-01-05 00547, 2005
kass
So if you can please, suggest a nice, working linux tagger, I'll use it in a heartbeat. tp_tagger works, but isn't very nice

what do people think about making new artists with (country) in their name to keep duplicates separate?

I want to scream and run far far away
2005-01-05 00539, 2005

but people seem to think that's a nice neat idea
2005-01-05 00522, 2005

I wouldn't want my earth stuff, for example, showing up as "Earth (Japan)"
2005-01-05 00535, 2005
kass wrinkles nose. No.

If its split by album, what does it matter anyway?
2005-01-05 00514, 2005
cikkolata
that's what I thought.
2005-01-05 00544, 2005
kass
But if its something that can be added as user definable, for those that want it, no harm done either. So long as people can turn it off

cikkolata: yalaforge (matthias) has some test code with an added "discriminator" field in the DB (he called it "resolution") that could be used to discriminate between artists that have the same name
2005-01-05 00547, 2005

not sure if he put it up on his dyndns.org test server
2005-01-05 00510, 2005

ooh

if you see him around, you could ask about the status, or djce might know
2005-01-05 00523, 2005
dupuy
the official line now is that the artists should not be split
2005-01-05 00535, 2005

but in practice it has happened
