is it normal for the MB tagger to crash on me for at least one song per album on average?

alrighty then, have there been similar reports of this behavior before?

I really like how the tagger is set up, it just crashes all the time for me :(

Malnilion are you using picard or tagger?
2005-09-01 24422, 2005

might not even open for you but tagger isnt going to be updated anymore

mb tagger seems like it is such a nice program but man is it unstable for me
2005-09-01 24438, 2005

i ahve 12 no doubt CDs and none of them are in discogs
2005-09-01 24414, 2005

]well, we all like picard more... so... maybe you will too
2005-09-01 24404, 2005
Malnilion
I think I'm liking it already, just loaded my rather small music library and it seems to be going through without too many problems
2005-09-01 24404, 2005
SenRepus
picard is very beta still though
2005-09-01 24423, 2005
SenRepus
its not even really set up to match tracks on its own yet, much, but with a little help you can fly through them
2005-09-01 24403, 2005
SenRepus
the way i do it is, load the album up (through the search at the top, then click the green tagger button next to what you want) then drag the folder onto the album once its loaded. picard will automatically put them all where they go

2005-09-01 24420, 2005

2005-09-01 24426, 2005

SenRepus, how long should it take to "load album information"?
2005-09-01 24438, 2005
SenRepus
not long at all usually, there's a problem?
2005-09-01 24448, 2005
Malnilion
aparently
2005-09-01 24416, 2005
Malnilion
yeah it's taking too long

there's a great danish post-punk band called 'sort sol' which split up this year. from the late 70s until 84, they played mostly as 'sods'. the 'sods' releases are in the mb database, but they're listed under sort sol. there's one sods song listed but mistakenly under 'the sods'. i've tried to change that. but what i'm wondering is whether the sods releases should be listed under sods instead of sort sol, maybe with a relation
2005-09-01 24416, 2005
SenRepus
i dont know what to tell you for that one
2005-09-01 24412, 2005
Malnilion
SenRepus, what version of Picard are you currently running?
2005-09-01 24452, 2005
SenRepus
i reformatted my hard drive and picard wont even run anymore, so, none
2005-09-01 24405, 2005
SenRepus
sorry guys, im not much help
2005-09-01 24415, 2005

i dont know what to tell you g-reth
2005-09-01 24426, 2005
g-reth
heh, no worries. sorry, it's a pretty obscure question eh.
2005-09-01 24430, 2005
SenRepus
IMO their releases as sods should be under the artist sods
2005-09-01 24450, 2005
g-reth
i think so as well.
2005-09-01 24407, 2005
g-reth
there's no 'sods' in the database at the moment, though. just 'the sods'.
2005-09-01 24437, 2005
g-reth
can you try to import from freedb or something, in situations like this?
2005-09-01 24402, 2005
g-reth
IMO they should probably be under sods too. i'm just not sure how best to change it. :)
2005-09-01 24410, 2005
nikki_
you could add the artist 'sods'
2005-09-01 24412, 2005
g-reth
ok. i've got a name-change from 'the sods' to 'sods' pending atm, will it be a problem if i add a new 'sods' in the meantime?
2005-09-01 24436, 2005
nikki_
is everything under 'the sods' really by the artist 'sods'?
2005-09-01 24425, 2005
g-reth
from memory there's only one track, taken from a punk compilation. but yes.
2005-09-01 24440, 2005
g-reth
most of the releases by the artist 'sods' are listed under 'sort sol'.
2005-09-01 24452, 2005
nikki_
ah
2005-09-01 24458, 2005
nikki_
just wait for that to change then
2005-09-01 24435, 2005
g-reth
i think part of the problem is that the sods albums were re-released in the 90s after the band had changed their name, but still with 'sods' on the cover. :)
2005-09-01 24438, 2005
Malnilion
re-released albums still go under the original name though :)
2005-09-01 24403, 2005
