wilson has left #Musicbrainz

stupid freedb. Its down again.

We really need to become a local mirror.

You mean musicbrainz doesn't already include everything from the freedb? :P

unfortunately no. :-(

Hopefully, it won't be long..

Is it better to use MBQ_FileInfoLookup or MBQ_QuickTrackInfoFromTrackId, if you already have the Track ID and the Album ID?

neither. :-)

if you have the track id, fileinfolookup won't return anything.

What should I use, then?

i noticed that freedb is down too =[

actually if you already have the album and track id, the just do a MBQ_GetAlbum or MBQ_GetTrack query.

just tailor you depth to the smallest number possible.

My RDF is weak. That would be a MBQ_GetTrack, followed by a MBS_SelectAlbum. Then MBE_TrackGetTrack* to get the details?

no,.

MBQ_GetTrack, followed by MBS_SelectTrack and then MBE_TrackGetTrack*

check the example files in mb_client/examples for details

So, iterate through the returned tracks until AlbumID matches?

it would be more efficient to do a GetAlbum and interate until you get the right track...

less data the server needs to fetch.

Mmm.

Yeah. Looks like the MBE_AlbumGet has everything I want to stuff into obs.

Good. :-)

Thanks. Back to the code mines for me.

real is now known as real|gone

real|gone is now known as real

found moodlogic a while ago, liked the idea, but was not about to pay that kind of money for it...thinking it had too be a free alternative i started searching today...and guess what? found you!

lovin' it!

norway \o/ :p

yeah baby! :)

hmm...dont know it is just me, but it seams a bit slow...well, im on isdn so...

files in [identified], do they get their tag updated automatically, or do i have to check the files and then choose wich one to fix?

i'm not sure... i believe the developers in here are from usa/australia, a bit bad timing =)

i haven't used the tools much

as in the mcdonalds song, "i'm lovin' it!"

:-)

except its better for you than McDs :-)

of course...McDs sucks...hate the food

suddenly i cant add files too the tagger...weird

and had some crashes...but still works charms

crashes, eh?

Sigh.

yepp...100% load, task manager in xp takes like 3-4 mins to start

Fun. can you reproduce that>>

>?

happened twice, gonna see if i can find what caused it...

when it happened i had over 2000 files loaded

now im loading from 50-100 at a time

gonna see what happens

yeah, for some reason it gets unhappy with large numbers of files.

and in the course of writing the tagger I've cleaned all my files. No messy ones left to test with. :-)

is there a way to have the 'guess capitalization' code in a little gui? independent of the javascritp website, just a little program

so it might be just the number of files causing it?

in the course of writing the tagger? you wrote it?

Its possible that the larger number of files is causing it.

yeah, I wrote it...

woohoo! *applauds*

nice work...thank you and everybody else who works on the project

great work

thanks -- there are a lot of people that make it happen.

a handful of people who write code.

dozens who think about it

and perhaps a hundred or so active people cleaning the data.

i will do my best...least i can do

If you want a sneak peek at what's coming next. :-)

but i need to figure out the "correcting" procedure...confusing

read the moderation intro...

i will

musicbrainz needs to be more visible on the net...only found it cause i was searching for a service just like this

Hmmm. First we need to finish getting out mirror servers setup.

Once we do that we'll make more noise.

hehe, sounds good

on the test page, whats the number between the songcount and trm count?

number of CD identifiers.

if i got a album i want to add that has a few scratches, will others that has a "perfect" copy of the song manage to match it? that is, will the TRM be the same?

if you submit a CD ID it won't matter as long as it can read the first few sectors.

Then if you run the tagger on the tracks itself, that is another matter.

its a new album, not in the DB

go for it then!

hehe

sloooow computer...tagger is killing it

damn...tagger locked my computer up for so long that i got disconnected from the new...guess it didn't manage to return a ping too the isp

please say tagger makes a log

my mp3's id3tags never looked this good...hehe

Glassius_ is now known as Glassius

Sorry, no logs yet. That's also a big requested feature.

When tagger misses a song, giving me artist and songname that is definitively wrong, do i just press misidentified in tagger? or is there something else i can do?

and then submit my tag-info from the unidentified list?

yes, just press misidentified.

the submit list is automagically managed, just submit when you're at a stopping point.

would guess its two songs getting the same trm...

"musicbrainz tagger & cd lookup tool has encountered a proplem and needs to close", but still the programs work, if i dont click close on the error dialog...hehe

in ntdll.dll

hello

hey

i have a question about the mp3 tags musicbrainz puts in place

when i play mp3s that have been updated in musicbrainz using winamp

some of the songs are reported to be much longer than they really are

yeah, that's a bug in the tagger.

ok, is there anything i can do about that for now?

can you do me a favor and pick one file that doesn't play and mail it to me?

well it does play, it simply has the wrong length displayed

oh, that's a new one.

Take one of the files that you're having issue with and run with throught he tagger again after you select the 'clear tags' option

ok

does it behave better afterwards?

ah ok, that seems to have fixed it

good.

ok thank you

please mail me a file (before you fix it)

ok

ok, i was wrong

that didn't actually fix it

:-(

if i readd the file back into winamp, it'll display the original wrong time

if i play it, then i'll fix the time
